Hello Everyone,

I'd like to compile a list of best practices for getting the most out of a single charge of a typical notebook battery (be it Li-Ion or Li-Poly). Sources would be great as well.

I've heard, for instance, that the best things to do to improve battery performance (not the total lifetime of the battery, just single charge performance) are, in descending order of effectiveness:

1. Turn your display all the way down.
2. Turn off WiFi
3. Turn off Bluetooth
4. Spin down disks when they're not in use.
5. etc…

I'd like to get sources together for these and other tips for extending life-between-charge for any battery on any notebook (as these really are all about Demand Management rather than Life lime extension.

Thanks!
