    Anyone have any tips on lengthening it? I have about 1 hour on a good day! It's terrible!

    It's really limiting to where I go and the amount I need the charger.

    Any help?

    This current one goes for only 2-3 hours. Can't even finish transformers 2 on full battery.

    Turn your screen brightness down, that'll use way less battery.

    But onestly the best solution is to just buy a new one. Can be found online for $15 anywhere if you know where to look.

    I'd say go buy a new one and only charge when needed.

    Turn the screen brightness down. Though, if I were you, I would just buy a new laptop.
    If you can't buy a new laptop, I would invest in a new battery. They're relatively cheap and easy to install.

    I use power saving mode and can get 2hours+
    Most run on high performance. Yeah, brightness too. Keep your processing low and you should use less RAM which in turn I think will put less strain on the computer... Yeah.

    I have the same problem, my laptop is suppose to last 2-3+ hours and it lasts barely 2, if I'm lucky. Maybe you should consider buying a 9 cell battery (most standard laptops come with 6 cell). This should give it another 1+ hour battery life.

    Power saving mode

    Turn off wireless

    2-3 hours is pretty good...

    My laptop gets about 40 minutes MAX, with everything turned off :(

    Is there a battery reset option?
    Our school laptops have that, it puts the battery length back to full.

    Laptop Battery Life

    Laptop battires start off good but only have so many charge cycles before they cant be used anymore - until they die they will gradually last shorter and shorter amounts of time on a single charge.

    Only cure is to get a new battery - then it'll be fine.
