Use Hibernate, not Just Sleep, Whenever Possible from Top 10 Ways to Extend Your Laptop's Battery Life
Comments
I don’t bring my laptop anywhere, so I just keep it plugged in since I started using it like a tower in conjunction with a TV and wireless keyboard. It’s a low-end Asus, so it’s a beater until I get something better. AAMOF, when my battery gets below a certain point, the screen flickers like cray. I noticed this the one time I left the house with it and it was sleeping in my bag, so by the time I got where I was going, it started flickering.
