Getting More HPÂ 510 Laptop Battery Life
Tip 1: Starting Off Right
Our fist tip is to get you off to a good start. When you purchase a new hp 510 laptop it is essential to calibrate and break in your new hp 510 laptop properly. When you first unbox your new machine, the first place it belongs (after installing the hp 510 battery , compatible with hp 530 battery) is connected to an AC outlet. Even if the hp 510 battery indicator shows a full or near full charge, it is a good idea to keep the unit plugged in for a minimum of 5-7 hours. After this initial and absolute full charge, unplug it and have your way with it! Drain that hp 510 battery until you "force it to shut down" (save your work upon the low laptop battery alert). Then proceed to charge it up again to 100% (this time just charge it to "full"). Go ahead and repeat the drain to zero. After 3 full charge and discharge cycles, your hp laptop battery is ready for the road.Â
This process does 2 things. First off, it breaks in your new hp 510 battery  right. Second it calibrates it with your computer to give you a more accurate measurement of charge status from the software's indicator. Over time your hp 510 laptop battery will slip away from calibration, so it is suggested that you repeat one "full charge" and "discharge" every 3 months. Refer to your owner's manual if you wish as some manufacturers may recommend a slightly different calibration technique.
Tip 2: How Many Times Do We Have to Tell You to Turn off the Light!
The biggest culprit of battery drainage is hands down - the display. Want more time per charge? Turn that sucker down to a tolerable, but comfortable level.
Tip 3: Turn off Unnecessary Hardware
Tip 4:Â Tame Windows
Did you know that you have programs "checking for updates", scanning files and running tasks that you don't know about? All of this unnecessary activity accesses your hard drive and over time makes an impact on your hp 510 battery's charge. You can easily disable these services while on DC power. Here's how:Â
Click "Start", "All Programs", "Accessories", "System Tools", and finally on "Scheduled Tasks". Right-click on any scheduled task in the list you wish to disable and click "Properties". Select the Settings tab. Under "Power Management", choose "Don't start the task if the computer is running on batteries" and "Stop the task if battery mode begins." Click OK on each selection to save your changes. You are bound to find several "culprits" that you could care less about while you are out and about running your notebook on batteries.
Tip 5:Â Choose the Right Power Setting
In the Control Panel go to "Power Options". In the "Power schemes" drop down list, be sure to select either the "Portable/Laptop" or "Max Battery" option.
Tip 6:Â Add More RAM!
Tip 7:Â Only Run DVD's and CD's Unless you Have to
