Fujitsu's new LIFEBOOK notebooks increase battery runtimes by as much as 75%* from the previous generation, with batteries that last through even the longest flights and workdays.
Fujitsu LIFEBOOKs have always had long battery runtimes; the latest generation of Li-Ion batteries and a second battery in the modular bay extend these even further. By using advanced technologies such as low tolerance, well-matched circuitry and energy-efficient LED displays throughout the portfolio, Fujitsu's LIFEBOOKs are more efficient than ever. Fujitsu's LIFEBOOK E780 even reaches a battery runtime of as much as 18 hours*.
Fujitsu's EcoButton offers another boost to battery life, by giving users a simple way to save energy and extend battery runtime. With the touch of a button, users can switch off the most resource-hungry functions such as Firewire (IEEE 1394), card slots, optical disk drives as well as reducing display brightness. Fujitsu's green approach is also proven by independent organisations; most of Fujitsu's LIFEBOOKs have ENERGY STAR 5.0 and EPEAT Gold certifications.
Energy-efficient notebooks and batteries translate into more efficient work days for users. For notebook users who are constantly on the road, struggling to find a power socket to juice up their notebook until the next stop can be time-consuming and frustrating.
Ross Olver, Portfolio Manager Business Clients at Fujitsu Technology Solutions, says: “Notebook users need to be able to depend on the battery life of their notebooks. We all know there's nothing worse than trying to get work done on a long journey only to find the battery life dipping into the red low power zone just as you're getting into your stride.”
* Measured with MobileMark 2007 Readers workload, all settings battery optimised and using a second battery in the modular bay.

Power/battery saving tips from Fujitsu
If your notebook doesn't have latest battery tech from Fujitsu, you can still improve runtime. Here are some handy tips from Fujitsu:
Power tip 1: Reduce notebook screen brightness to 60% and switch off screen-savers.
Power tip 2: Switch to moderate performance level in control panel or with MobilityCenter button in Fujitsu LIFEBOOKs.
Power tip 3: Switch-off power-draining non-essential ports and LAN connections while on the move.
Power tip 4: Set power management features to darken screen after one minute idle and switch off hard disk drive after two minutes.
Power tip 5: Don't just standby, hibernate: Set power management features to hibernate when inactive.
Power tip 6: Don't go auto-pilot: Turn off scheduled tasks to stop the hard disk drive from spinning all the time.
Power tip 7: Essential maintenance: Defragment your hard disk drive for more efficient performance.
Power tip 8: Disable unused ports in the BIOS if you don't need the serial port or the parallel port, infrared, modem.
Power tip 9: Think about using an SSD hard disk drive - this can save up to 10% energy.
Power tip 10: If notebook is not used regularly, load the battery to 50-70% and leave battery in a cool and dry room.
