How to Maximize Your Linux Laptop’s Battery Life
by onebuck from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4VT05)
Hi,
I use my Dell XPS701 Laptop all the time. It is plugged in but I do pull the plug to use the battery periodically. I had to replace the battery this past summer because the battery storage was poor. After using the Laptop for over 5 years and have that battery life then I think that is pretty good.

| Laptop manufacturers spend a lot of time tuning their device drivers for Windows battery life. Linux usually doesn't get the same attention. Linux may perform just as well as Windows on the same hardware, but it won't necessarily have as much battery life. Linux's battery usage has improved dramatically over the years. The Linux kernel has gotten better, and Linux distributions automatically adjust many settings when you're using a laptop. But you can still do some things to improve your battery life. |
Hope this helps.
