UMPC Battery Saving Tips

I saw this sound advise from a fellow forumer, I just thought it can be helpful to other UMPC users too,so I’ve decided to put it here on the blog, thanks friend..

Alright, I’ve just found a new trick that maximizes battery power on your UMPC. It involves activating XP’s power saving feature for the WiFi module.

• Click START -> Control Panel -> Network Connections
• Right click on your active wireless connection (usually named “Wireless Network Connection) and click on Properties.
• Under the General tab, click on Configure
• Click on the Advanced tab, scroll down the list to “Power Saving Mode”.
• Set Value from CAM to Max_PSP.
• Enjoy 10% better battery life!

Note that not all wireless access points support this power saving feature. If you find yourself having trouble initiating a wireless connection or if your connection intermittently drops, simply set the value back to CAM.

Other tips I’ve gathered is to minimize using USB, card readers, flash disk, etc. coz they are really battery suckers
