I've had my 1505 for over a year now using this battery (85 WHr 9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery). I never did any special battery conditioning because I really didn't know what to do. I usually use my laptop plugged in about 90% of the time. But now, when I unplug, I only get about 1:30-1:45 of usage just surfing the web wi-fi with my screen on max brightness.
So that seems really short to me. Is there anything I can do to improve it?
1) Is there anything I can do with the battery to improve its performance like letting it drain and fully recharging a couple of times? Or do I just need a new battery.
2) I guess my other thought is that I may have some junk running in the background that's using up cpu power. But I'm not very sophisticated when it comes to clearing out all the non-essential software. Is there a good program out there that would tell me everything that's running in the background and what it does so I would know if I need it?
