the Linux Documentation Project explains that those outdated battery types are all but gone from the laptop rechargeable battery scene. However, even with widespread lithium ion usage, there are still many questions about lithium ion battery recharging both for computers and other battery-powered devices.

On the way home from the Ubuntu Developer Summit, two of us were brainstorming optimizations we could do in Linux OSes for longer battery life (things like removing drivers, as I mentioned in another comment). We were going to make a script to automate, but now I’m not sure what’s going on with that…will have to check

I guess the practicable thing is to stay somewhere in the middle. Computers won’t be fun without multimedia, right!But we can easily not use it when we are on the road and away from a power outlet.Muting sounds and dimming lights can be done through the keyboard itself. I guess there can be a single configurable power saving toggle on the keyboard/OS which can do the job in a snap. Do any laptops have it?

Good set of tips overall, though I feel it leans towards paranoia. esp. hibernate. and no multimedia apps.

There were some new tips in there and then there were some tips (like classic style windows theme) that we hope the power manager took care of triggering say after a few seconds of running on battery, esp. if you consider AC supply being toggled on n off for a less than a few seconds. You forget to mention defragging is not good if overused.
point 18 is kinda iffy.

Dunno what you think, but I feel the power manager ought to have some trigger to automate your suggestions 3,7,8,9,11. What do you think?

[...] I know some better ways that don’t make you squint at a black screen all day. Brightness is one thing people are guilty of though, you don’t need it as high as a kite, 60% is high enough for me. If you just creep it down over time, it’s a lot easier on your eyes as well. ______________________ Yes, the girl in my avatar is adorable, but don’t forget that she once killed four kids in two seconds.

“A mismatch in the wattage could cause an overload thus damaging the laptop and the battery.”

Err, no.

The worst that could happen is that you use a charger with less “wattage” than the original, in which case you will kill the charger – not the laptop or battery.

Using a higher wattage charger can’t hurt anything.
