Improve Battery Life提高電池壽命

Once again, Martin at ghacks presents a great computing tip, this time on how to再次，馬丁在ghacks提出了一個偉大的計算小費，這一次關於如何 extend notebook battery life延長筆記本電腦的電池壽命 using使用 SpeedSwitchXP . 。 This application lets you take control of your CPU speed so that you can slow it down and so use less power when you aren’t running CPU-intensive applications.此應用程序讓你控制你的CPU速度，讓您可以慢下來，因此使用較少的電力時，您沒有運行CPU密集型的應用。 You could call it underclocking, as opposed to你可以稱之為underclocking ，而不是 overclocking超頻 . 。 To be honest, I thought this was something that was built in to some PCs already, but obviously not.老實說，我認為這是一些建於一些電腦了，但顯然不是。

Anyway, as is often the case, an even better tip turned up in the comments for his post from Cam who pointed readers to不管怎麼說，這是經常發生的情況，一個更美好的冰山出現在評論他的職位由凸輪誰指出讀者 Notebook Hardware Control筆記本電腦硬件控制 . 。 I have to admit this looks like a far more powerful tool than SpeedSwitch.我不得不承認這看起來像一個更為強大的工具比SpeedSwitch 。 Not only does it allow you to control the power consumption of your CPU and so它不僅允許你控制能量消耗的CPU和使 boost your battery提高您的電池 , it provides the following features: ，它提供下列功能：

• Control the hardware and system power management控制硬件和系統的電源管理
• Customize the notebook (open source ACPI Control System)自筆記本電腦（開源ACPI的控制系統）
• Prolong the battery lifetime延長電池壽命
• Cool down the system and reduce power consumption降溫系統和降低能耗
• Monitor the hardware to avoid system failure監視器的硬件，以避免系統故障
• Make your notebook quiet讓您的筆記本安靜

Get the settings right and you should see a much improved uptime when operating on battery.獲得設置權，你應該會看到一個很大的改進正常運行時使用電池。 More than that, improved battery life means you are using less power overall, and that means a greener notebook.更重要的是，改善電池壽命意味著你使用的是低功耗整體，這意味著環保的筆記本電腦。 Unfortunately, the Pro version costs money, which is where Sciencetext reader Slartibartfast comes to the rescue:不幸的是，專業版費錢，這就是Sciencetext讀者Slartibartfast來拯救：

I would suggest you take a look at我建議你看一看 SpeedFan , therefore, which is a fully-functioning and free alternative.因此，這是一個全功能和自由選擇。
