U430 - How to use properly with battery?

Is it o.k to conect the charger to the computer constantly?
I mean, there is switch that when the battery full load it charge directly the computer?
I ask because most of the time my computer on my table and I don't know if it's good to conect it to the charger constantly or everytime it is full disconect the charger.
Thank's!

A laptop computer battery should last between two and four years, or around 1,000 full charges, i have mine always connect to power when at home and the battery now holds about 50% charge it is 7 years old and well exceeded my expectations on life of the battery
now days it all about storing the battery
Fully charge new batteries before use.
A laptop battery’s health deteriorates the more you charge and discharge it, running it from a power source will make your battery remain in a state of charge/recharge. Instead, when your battery gets to near 100% charged, unplug it from the power and plug it in again when it is low.
Heat will dramatically affect battery life for both batteries in your laptop and spare batteries you have stored. Keep spare batteries in a cool place and try to make sure that your laptop has plenty of ventilation so that the battery does not get too warm.
Keeping the laptop cool will also reduce the need for your fan to run which also uses more battery power.
If you are using your laptop as a desktop replacement, consider removing the battery and just running the laptop directly from the power source.
Store spare batteries or if you not going to use it for a week or so with approximately 40% charge, batteries even when stored will discharge over time.
Adding more RAM to your laptop will actually decrease battery consumption as RAM will be used rather than your hard drive to run resource intensive processes.
Your hard drive is a mechanical device and is a significant power hog.
Try to minimize CD/DVD drive use. As with your hard drive, your optical drives are a mechanical device that will consume a lot of power when in use.
hope this clears a few things up

  • How to use CVS with JDeveloper

    Hi all!
    I'm starting a new project and I would like to know how to use CVS with JDeveloper. This is my first project where I will have two more people working with me and I don't know what the better approach is. Should I use CVS that come with JDeveloper (option Internal to Oracle JDeveloper 10g) or should I configure an external repository? In both cases, I don't know what I have to do to have CVS working properly with JDeveloper. Actually I tried to create a new CVS connection in CVS navigator (using the access method Password Server), but when I test I receive the message: Could not open connection to CVS server: general socket failure, sure I must doing something wrong.
    I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for you help John!
    I installed cvsnt and when I try to create a new CVS connection inside JDeveloper I receive the message: authorization failed: server adminf29786.dixamico.com.br rejected access to /Diversos/DownLoad/CVS/usr/local/cvsroot for user JMartins
    I using pserver method and JMartins is my user in windows
    There is something that I'm curious about, when I was installing CVSNT I didn't configure any user and password, is there any default user/password?
    Thanks!

  • How to use Terminal with KeySpan USB serial adaptor cable?

    I own a KeySpan model USA-19HS to use with our MacBookPro when working on clients networking equipment that require serial communication. I have used ZTerm with excellent luck, but it costs, and is yet another application that I dont really want. I would like to know if any one out there has exacing instructions on how to use Terminal with this adaptor. If I could write a file that had, say, the couple most common settings (9600-8-n-1, 57600-8-n-1, et cetera) that I could simply click on, to open a new Terminal window with those settings, then simply close that, and open a new window (apple+n) in order to get back to a default settings terminal window. All feedback is most appreciated.
    Thanks so much, Jason Sjobeck

    Hi, Jason. Welcome to the Discussions.
    You wrote: "All feedback is most appreciated."OK.
    1. Have you considered discussing this with Keyspan Support?
    2. Have you read the section "OSX has Terminal.app - why do I need ZTerm?" on the ZTerm Home Page? That seems to explain why one needs an app like ZTerm.
    3. A quick search of Keyspan's FAQ for your product and terminal doesn't yield much more than how to find the serial ports using Terminal.
    Likewise, this Google search also yields little, and variants of that search of such weren't particularly help either.
    It appears your inquiry seems to be a somewhat esoteric topic.
    4. Apparently, ZTerm X is a bit long in the tooth and there's no Universal Binary for it. It sounds, however, like you've tried it running on your MBP under Rosetta, yes?
    5. In researching alternatives to ZTerm for you, I note the followng:• The comment from "Reverb" on this page suggests C-Kermit or Kermit as a free alternative.
    • This tip on Mac OS X Hints cites Minicom as another option.6. You may want to try your question on the Unix Discussion.
    Good luck!

  • How to use variables with

    I need to get the number of lines in internal table, which would
    be easy, using DESCRIBE TABLE itab LINES lines. But the problem
    is, that I get the name of this internal table in the field of
    another internal table, so I have to use the name of internal
    table as variable, but I don't know how to use variables with
    DESCRIBE TABLE (or if this is possible).

    Hi,

    define two tables with diferent structures.
    data: begin of table1 occurs 0,

    You can try it if you don't find a better solution.

  • How to use Count with Date Parameters

    Hello,
    I am having issues using the Count() function in conjunction with date parameters.
    This is a Siebel report and in my report I have 2 date parameters(From Date, To Date). In a nutshell I am basically trying to count Opportunities that has a start date within the given date period. However I don't see a reasonable way to put my date parameters within the Count() function. The reason being is that I need to have a huge chunk of code to convert the dates into a common format that can be compared, and it won't even fit within the code block in my rtf template. I am not even sure how to put multiple conditional statements inside a Count() function since all the examples I have seen are very simple.
    Anyone have a suggestion on how to use Count() with date parameters?
    Thanks.

    Any chance you can get the date formats in the correct format from siebel?
    I don't know Siebel - so I can't help you with that. If you get the correct format it is just
    <?count(row[(FromDate>=date) and  (date<=ToDate))?>
    Otherwise the approach would probably need to use string function to get year/monthd/day from the date
    and store it into a varialbe and compare later the same way
    <?variable@incontext:from; ....?>
    <?variable@incontext:to; ...?>
    <?count(row[($from>=date) and  (date<=$to))?>
    Potentially you can use the date functions such as xdofx:to_date to do the conversion
    [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12844_01/doc/bip.1013/e12187/T421739T481158.htm]
    But I am not sure if they are available in your siebel implementation.
    Hope that helps

    The page has a ListBox where list items are populated from the database.My requirement is
    whenever the list is changed the page shuold be refreshed with the selected item info.
    I tried to use 'JavaScript' for triggering the event with 'onChange' event of the ListBox.But the event is not getting invoked. I think JavaScript is not working with JSP.
    Please help me with how to Use javaScript with JSP or any other alternative where I can meet my requirement.

When someone selects say the State of Pennsylvania. then we have an On change event that runs a Javascript to go get all the cities in Pennsylvania.

    Do you know of any way to dynamically query the the Oracle database in Javascript

  • How to use log4net with C# clients

    Hi,
    Can anybody please give an example of how to use log4net with C# clients? Foe java clients you can use the

    How do we use it with C# clients? Any example will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Ali,
    The following is an example on how to define a custom logger (including log4net) in tangosol-coherence-override.xml for coherence .NET client; you need Coherence .NET client 3.7.1 patch 1.
    <coherence xmlns="http://schemas.tangosol.com/coherence">
    <logging-config>
    <destination>common-logger</destination>
    <logger-name>log4net</logger-name>
    <severity-level>9</severity-level>
    <message-format>(thread={thread}): {text}</message-format>
    <character-limit>8192</character-limit>
    </logging-config>
    </coherence>
    You also need to configure log4net in app.config. Please see the following web page for more information:

  • How to use assert with wireless toolkit?

    Hi,
    I am trying to find out how to use assert with wireless toolkit. I have found that I need to pass "-source 1.4" to the java compiler. But I can't find any documentation on how to do it.
    I'm using J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.2.
    thanks
    Ludde

    Here's a quote from an article on Java World at http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-11-2001/jw-1109-assert.html
    "To support the new assertion facility in J2SE 1.4, the Java platform adds the keyword assert to the language, an AssertionError class, and a few additional methods to java.lang.ClassLoader."
    So I really think it's part of 1.4.

  • How to use setSoTimeOut() with socket ??

    HI All!
    I eagerly need to know how to use setSoTimeOut() with socket (on server side).
    Actually the scenario is that My Server accepts connection and waits for connected client to send data to it. I WANT TO KEEP, IF CLIENT DOENS'T SENDS ANY DATA TO SERVER WITHIN 5 min. THEN SERVER MUST CLOSE THE CONNECTION, BUT IF SERVER RECEIVES STILL A BYTE FROM THE CLIENT WITHIN 5 mins., THE SERVER MUST RESET CHECKING TIME OUT FOR NEXT 5 MINUTES.
    How can i do that??
    Any help with example will be appreciated!!
    Thanx in advance

    you'd have to do something like this:
    (this is all assuming you want to read Strings from the socket. setSoTimeout works for any read() call to the InputStream associated with the Socket)
    ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(myPort);
    Socket s = ss.accept();
    s.setSoTimeout(5*60*1000); // 5 mins * 60 secs * 1000ms
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(s.getInputStream()));
    boolean running = true;
    while(running)
    try
    String readIn = in.readLine();
    // do whatever you want with the data read
    catch(SocketTimeoutException)
    running = false;
    Now. That's what I think needs to be done. I don't have Java on the machine I'm currently on, so I can't test/verify it, but it goes something like that.
    Good luck,

  • How to use I18N with a custom validator?

    This is my custom validator:
        public void validate(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) throws ValidatorException

            Matcher m= pat.matcher(value.toString());

                FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage("Not a valid e-mail address");
                throw new ValidatorException(message);
        }Instead of providing the text "Not a valid e-mai address", I'd like to get the text out of my ApplicationResources property file.
    How can I do this?
    I know how to use it with the provided validators, but not with own custom ones
    Please help me out, thanks

    I found a solution for this problem, I don't know it's best practice but here it is :
        public void validate(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) throws ValidatorException
            String errortext;
            Pattern pat=Pattern.compile(".+@.+\\.[a-z]+");

                ResourceBundle.getBundle("be.vdab.resources.ApplicationResources", context.getViewRoot().getLocale());
                errortext = bundle.getString("erroremail");
                FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage(errortext);

    Take a look at Memo, Penultimate, and Draw Pad to name a few. Several in the app store.But you do need an app that will accept input using a stylus or your finger rather than the keyboard. Several art/drawing programs are available as well.
