Test Toshiba satellite pro a120 laptop battery life

Without a good battery, a laptop computer is just an overpriced, undersized desktop. Notebook batteries tend to wear out faster than other laptop components, typically exhibiting performance degeneration with just two or three years of use. Once the performance gets bad enough, you’ll need to replace the original battery. It’s fairly easy to test your laptop computer battery’s charge and health, and by doing so you can help avoid unwanted surprises.

Toshiba satellite pro a120 laptop battery life put to test

The laptop battery life tests are pretty simple to get done by using a single full battery charg. We’ll compare the performance of the battery according to Toshiba’s advertised 3.8 hours of battery power life. The question is, can the Toshiba satellite pro a120 laptop keep up with the advertised run-time.

According to the battery life (on Power Saver) when I started a couple of minutes ago, the Toshiba satellite pro a120 notebook had a 90% battery life which translates to 2 hours and 50 minutes lifespan. I must say that I am impressed with its battery as it is a product that is only 15.9mm thin and weighs 1.17kg!

Laptop Battery life before work officially started:

• 3 hours, 50 minutes
• 90% Remaining
• Time: 11:45am

Laptop Battery life during my Youtube-time:

• 2 hours, 38 minutes
• 57% Remaining
• Time: 2:38pm

Test results until the laptop battery power went off:

• Blog posts written and completed:  3
• Blog post still in draft mode (Partially done, 10%-50%):  2
• Number of comment left on blogs: 5
• Cups of coffee drank: 2 cups
• Time: 6:54pm

The long battery life of the Toshiba satellite pro a120 laptop can also be attributed by the core processor by Intel, which has a high performance and energy efficiency.

Essentially this line of processor that Intel came out with helps to reduce the Toshiba battery power comsuption but still delivers in performance.

The laptop battery run-time varies for different people and different uses. With over 3 hours of battery life, this little thing does pack itself with some power.
