It's not suppose to take so much of the battery power. You have either a bad battery or a short current somewhere in the system.
Just about every computer keeps some information about itself internally or on the motherboard. This information includes the current time and date and a built in clock keeps it current. It does this with the help of a battery sometimes called a BIOS or CMOS battery. This battery lasts a few years but eventually will run down. The battery needs to be replaced. The battery is on the motherboard, has a shiny silvery color, is about the size and shape of an American quarter or nickel and may be secured with a small clamp or spring. You may need a small screwdriver to carefully remove it. It should be replaced with an identical or compatible battery type. The type is inscribed on the battery. If it can't be read refer to information that came with the computer, the manufacturers web site, or just search the web for your computer model and include "CMOS battery" in the search string. If the computer is a laptop or notebook device, accessing the battery is much more complicated and there is a greater risk of causing damage to the device. You should have a competent person take care of it.
The life expectancy for a brand new computer battery is years. If you take care of it, don't overcharge it and let it run flat every time, the battery can last up to 7 years depending on your care.
If every thing is working leave it alone Mine stuck in defrost battery died and messed up the computer. Disconnect battery for 5 or more min. If you have this problem
No it will actually drain faster. I have done it with every electronic there is.
The battery is automatically charged while the laptop is plugged into a mains socket ! You don't need to press a key to get it to do that.
because it is getting older and slower
A desktop is the starter screen of a computer once it had loaded. If you mean laptop, every 5 years.
Assuming the parking lot was open, and the car had every right to be parked there. The owner of the snowplow, and possibly the operator of it would be liable for damages to the parked car.
Every motherboard includes a battery, as well as several other components. The battery is there because it powers the computer. Most batteries have between 2 and 4 hours of life before they have to be plugged in.
No. Leave it plugged in. Each discharge and recharge of the battery is a cycle and will reduce the efficacy of the battery. The battery will still age and reduce but a good computer will keep it trickle charged when it is at full capacity preserving or extending its life a bit vs full discharge and recharge every day.
The BIOS itself is stored in ROM which does not require any power to maintain its contents. The BIOS setting are stored in a very low power CMOS SRAM with a battery to keep it powered up even when the computer itself is switched off (the BIOS does nothing to maintain this, it is done in the hardware).
no matter where a vehicle is parked, the moving vehicle is at fault every time.
