End of article. - hellengineer, on 10/06/2009, -0/+9great tips but do you really need that extra headache, make better batteries science and quick.
- nepidae, on 10/07/2009, -0/+2they are making better batteries every day, and hardware designers are using more juice every day.

- Floobins, on 10/07/2009, -0/+2I just paid out the ass for my new iPhone! Now to turn off everything to save battery life...
- whatthefu, on 10/07/2009, -0/+2All of this sounds like a pain in the ass.
- lanzemurdok, on 10/07/2009, -0/+1On my samsung jack i initially got about half a day's worth of battery life.
Then I let the battery die completely and charged it for more than 12 hours. I lowered the display to level 1 and the screen to turn off after 10 seconds. I also turned off the keyboard backlight. I constantly close my apps.
With moderate to heavy usage i seem to be getting around 2-3 days. - DeadPlasmaCell, on 10/07/2009, -0/+1I didn't read 100% of the article, but does "conditioning" the battery come into play any? Not sure if it applies to all rechargeable batteries, but my Netbook's user guide noted that I should "condition" the battery by fully charging and fully discharging 3 times when I first use the computer. Can this apply to other things as well?
- mrgr8avill, on 10/07/2009, -1/+0If you do all of this, you will extend battery life by 3%...
Almost as bad as the ***** "hypermilers" I so often end up behind that take five minutes to accelerate to 30 mph from a stop in a 55 mph zone.
