Energy Savers

ELIMINATA LAPTOP SAVER HELPS THE BATTERY SURVIVE THE COURSE

A laptop is such a great tool for a student. Unfortunately the batteries don't last as long as you might expect and students don't always have access to a power socket and so the portable nature of the laptop loses it's effect. The Eliminata Laptop Saver can help keep it in top condition, by prolonging the battery life and reducing energy consumption.

Laptop batteries cost about £40 and have a limited lifetime which is a called a half-life. This is typically 500 discharge cycles, which is when the battery is taken from full to empty. However, each time the battery is fully discharged it degrades, so after 18 months you will see a significant drop in runtime perhaps from three hours to less than 90 minutes.
