#3. Disable Data Push – Data push is a device feature that automatically pushes email data from the web down to the iPad, when it is online. Knowing the wireless networking consumes battery life, for practical reasons, you can temporarily disable the function when you are not using it. As an alternative, you may set a periodical email check in your iPad system. You can turn Data Push feature off by getting to the Settings menu, then go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars, select Fetch New Data, and set the Push option to off.
#4. Seldom Fetch Email – This in line with the previous tip on disabling Data Push on emails. If you wish to turn off Data Push but still would want to check emails in your iPad, you can modify the Fetch Email settings appropriately by indicating how often the iPad system would check emails. Note that the seldom you check, the more battery you can save. You can edit these settings via Settings menu, then proceed to Mail, Contacts, Calendars option, go to Fetch New Data and alter the settings beneath the Push menu item.
#1. Disable 3G functions – The 3G Internet connections can also run down batteries of those iPad models utilizing an always-on 3G network. If you think you do not need to be online, then you can save more battery by turning off the 3G function of the device. In order to turn 3G off, go to the Settings app menu, select General, then Network and finally switch 3G to off mode.
#2. Disable Wifi – Enabling of the Wifi network can also drain the iPad’s battery. This is regardless of whether you are online or offline. Thus, if you are offline and do not plan to go online for some time, then you can temporarily disable the Wifi function. This way, you can save more battery life. To disable Wifi in the iPad, tap on the Settings menu then go to Network. Select Wifi option and switch it to off mode.
4. Rechargeable batteries are more convenient. This is counterintuitive because the traditional image is that they don’t come pre-charged and that translates to inconvenience. The way rechargeable batteries work has improved remarkably and deserves attention. They can come precharged today, are usable right out of the box, and can be recharged and used again tomorrow and the next day. If you don’t use them right away and decide to charge and store them, some batteries, such as SANYO’s eneloop batteries, keep 85% of their charge after sitting on a shelf for one year.
5. Today’s rechargeable batteries are extremely powerful, particularly when powering digital cameras, computers and other power-hungry devices. Rechargeables can deliver solid performance and reliability, as evidenced by the recent developments in stable voltage opening up longer use of each charge.
If you have been sitting on the fence or are looking for something that you can do to start down the path of sustainability, rechargeable, re-usable batteries are a great place to start.
2. Buying dry cell batteries that can only be used once is typically less expensive upfront, but that cost increases dramatically over time. However, budget-minded supply managers know rechargeable batteries allow hundreds of cycles per battery, making the cost per unit go down over times used, resulting in hundreds or thousands of dollars in cost savings each year.
3. Rechargeable batteries last longer, with one rechargeable battery taking the role of multiple batteries each time it is recharged and reused. The reusing of resources minimizes impact on the environment. Batteries, which contain a number of metals including mercury, aluminum, and nickel, pollute groundwater and soil when not disposed of properly. Also, if you look close enough, you will see that most rechargeable batteries are recyclable.
As our society continues to heavily depend on battery supplies to power many common electronic devices, such as digital cameras and flashlights, the need for efficient and ecologically responsible battery use has become paramount.
Therefore, replacing traditional dry cell batteries with rechargeable batteries offers a number of important benefits, highlighting meanings of “eco”, economical and ecological, simultaneously.
1. A typical dry cell battery lasts only as long as its life cycle, limiting the use to one time only. Rechargeable batteries can be recharged and reused more than 500 times. In fact, there are some rechargeable batteries out there that can be charged again 1,000 or more times.
