Asus are one of the leading manufacturers in the computer electronics industry today and are probably best known among the enthusiast community for their huge range of class leading motherboards. Asus m50 laptop is designed for entertainment and one of the features that enhance its graphics is the DirectX 10 support which creates sharper contrast and high-detail imaging. Asus M50 contains a 4800mAh lithium-ion battery. This battery supplied our test sample in the BatteryEater readers test (maximum battery life and lowest energy consumption) for only 130 minutes with energy, a rather modest result. Not much different is the situation under load running the BatteryEater classic test. To maximize your Asus laptop battery life and performance, today BattAussie share some essential tips for Asus a32-m50 laptop battery maintenance.
1. Close Unnecessary Programs
-
Look at the programs that start up along with your operating system. If you don’t have to use them immediately, right click on the icon and go into options. Scroll through the list until you can turn off the option to have the program open whenever you start the laptop. When you use an application, close it when you are done.
Programs that are left open will use system resources and power that are needed for other software. If you only have a few programs open at the same time, the laptop will use less power and it will be able to stay on battery power longer.
-
Every computer and laptop has options that allow them to make changes to the power management tools. In Asus M50 laptop, check under “Control Panel” and you will find the power options. You will be asked to identify the type of computer that you are using. It is important to choose “Laptop” from the drop down menu. Each type of PC will bring up a different option that will save power.
3. Purge and Discharge Laptop Batteries
-
At least once a month, every laptop user should purge and discharge their batteries to prolong their life. To purge a laptop, remove the AC power cord. Turn on the laptop and let the battery drain until the low Asus a32-m50 notebook battery sign pops up. Plug in the power cord and let the notebook charge to full capacity while the laptop is still on.
Laptop batteries can be discharged in a similar fashion. Go into the power management option and turn off all of the power saving tools including hibernation, sleep mode and the screen saver. Allow the battery to drain completely until the laptop shuts itself off. Without turning on the laptop, reconnect the power cord and allow it to charge until the battery is full.
4. Always Fully Charge Asus A32-M50 Laptop Batteries
-
Chargeable batteries will wear down quickly, when they are only charged for a short period of time. When the laptop is not in use, such as at bedtime, plug it into an outlet and leave it to charge until the battery power is full.
When you first buy a laptop or any electronic device that needs to be charged before you can use it, always charge it to full capacity. Asus laptop will work with only a small bit of power, but if it is not fully charged frequently, it will start to lose its ability to hold a charge.
5. Use Laptop AC Adapter
-
Most laptop users will plug in the AC cord even when the battery is not low. However, this is also causing the battery to drain in small increments. Before you use the laptop, remove the battery and then plug in the Asus U1F Laptop AC Adapter power cord, so that the laptop is running on only AC power. Store the battery on a cool, dry surface and replace it when you shut off the laptop.
