    Hi,

    Is it safe if I unplugged the power adaptor of my laptop from the AC outlet and use the battery source and when the battery is running out I’ll re-plugged again the power adaptor. Just like charging a cellular phone.

    Thanks,
    Jasper

  4. You mayby do this:Turn down your screen brightness!

    The dell LCD display is quite a big drain on your battery power. Do you really need the brightness on the highest setting? Adjust your display so that the screen is not fully lit, but comfortable enough for your viewing. This will help increase your battery run time.
