    a report which will be saved in the same destination in which the command had be
    en performedi.e C:\. Open the energy report and check the battery's designed cap
    acity and the last full charge. There will be a difference in both values as wel

    Tips to ensure optimal battery life
    Use the AC adapter whenever possible, but not all the time. Use the battery
    on its own as well.
    Set the Windows Power Management settings to maximum savings.
    Lower the brightness setting on the screen backlight.
    Disconnect any unused devices (e.g., modems, wireless LAN cards) when not ne
    eded.
    Disable Auto Insert Notification on the CD-ROM.
    Turn off Autosave features.
    Disable automatic formatters, spell checkers, and autorecalculate features.
    Add RAM to lower disk access time.
    If you have a backup battery, use it in rotation with the current battery.
    Use the Suspend or Hibernate feature when taking a break.
    Fully drain and recharge the battery every couple of months, this helps to r
    ecalibrate the smart electronics even if the cells are fine.
    Minimize the number of programs running at the same time.
    Check the power save settings under the BIOS. If this is not enabled then th
    e Windows Power Management settings may not work properly.
    If you are taking the battery out to store it, make sure it has atleast 40 50% charge. DO NOT fully charge it or discharge it before storage.
    Use smaller programs when possible (e.g., WordPad versus Word).
    Minimize game play and DVD viewing.
