How to prolong lithium-based batteries see the link it explains how best to look after your battery - is far as the computer running slow this may just be the OS trying to lower the clock speed to preserve battery life depending on your settings. |

![]() There is nothing in the bios (linked to the battery) which I can think of which explains your issue. I am not familiar with OSX - only played with 10.5.6 so am not qualified to comment on this. However I do recommend checking out win 7 and seeing if this issue exists with a different OS.

![]() OK... I have tried play video in windows 7.
By disabling the speedsteps in bios, battery full or with power plugged in, playing video with KMPlayer will be lagged. However, the very same video played normally when speed steps is enable. I would believe that during low batt, the system will disable speed steps and cause the system to slow down. But the slowdown issue does not happen on my Dell Latitude D620 during low batt. Maybe its slowing down unnoticeable. My BIOS version is A05. Anyone face the same problem with A04? |

It is possible the OS is trying to max the battery by slowing the CPU - one option is to try and set the operating system to performance rather than balanced and see if this forces the CPU to remain at higher speeds towards the end of it's life. But really you will destroy or battery by constantly deep cycling it. |
