8cell High capacity ASUS P42J P42E P52J Battery review

Published on March 23 2011 by love-battery.com zone

Laptop computers are extremely convenient, renting us the ability to compute on tethered to a wall socket. Additionally, wireless internet networks, when combined with a notebook PC, allow us to connect to the internet from just about anywhere in the world. However, it seems to be a constant struggle to squeeze as much battery life out of your laptop as possible. Without a battery life of at least a couple of hours, the main benefit of having a laptop is negated. There are several things you can do to extend the battery life of your laptop computer.

Tips：
Your ASUS P42E Battery will lose charge over time, resulting in somewhere between a 2 and 3 year lifespan from time degradation, and over that time, the maximum per-charge capacity will slowly decrease. If you manage to charge cycle the battery more than around 800 times in that time, the life will be even shorter. The cooler you keep it (without actively putting it in the refrigerator), the longer it will last, but still probably not longer than 3 years. Leaving it plugged in and topped off most of the time is probably good, but not all the time, as it will get hot.

ASUS P52J Battery Life Tips:
Turn on Energy Saving in your Operating System. Windows 7, XP, and Vista – EPA recommends setting computers to enter system standby or hibernate after 30 to 60 minutes of inactivity.
To save even more, set monitors and hard drives to enter sleep mode after 5 to 20 minutes of inactivity. The lower the setting, the more energy you save, just make sure it syncs with your work routine.
Windows XP – Select Hibernate if laptop will be inactive for 1.5 hours or more, otherwise use Standby
Windows Vista and 7 – Select Hibernate if there will be 2-3 hours of inactivity
