Extend The Life Of Your Laptop Battery

There is a lot of info out there with various ideas, but as a rule of thumb, your laptop battery will handle around 500 charge cycles before it dies so if you mainly use your machine on mains power then take the battery out and store it in a cool dry place.

Also, heat is the biggest killer of any electronic equipment so give the fan a blow out about once a month to keep dust down. Working on a soft base such as a bed or cushion is a no-no - always sit the fan area on a book or similar hard surface so your computer can breathe.

Simple things like this will keep your laptop going as long as possible.

Cheers
