Caring for Laptop Batteries

Battery laptop is an interesting topic discussed, and the people who ask how the battery lasting and durable. Many of the outstanding information and also a lot of misunderstanding. Some things about the laptop battery:

1. Ability notebook battery will decrease over time if you use them or not. In general, notebook battery will last between one to three years.

2. Low temperatures will slow the process of discharge (loss of power when in use without connecting to electrical power) of the elements in the battery. Conversely, high temperatures will shorten the battery ages. Leaving the battery installed when you connect with the electrical power will cause the temperature inside the battery increases. Remove the battery and store in the cold temperature will slow the damage process. Leaving the notebook in a hot environment is also not good for the battery.

3. Lithium-Ion batteries used in notebook is designed to be used about 300-800 times the cycle charge / discharge. Some of this cycle is used when you leave the battery connected when using notebook power electric power. At the time connected to the electric power, notebook akan routinely remove the battery when it has reached level penge-specific charge-an (example: 95%). Disconnecting the battery and store it in a dry place and protect some of the cold akan cycle.

4. Li-Ion Battery is not affected by memory effects (the battery needs to be up at all before filled again to avoid a decrease in capacity of) such as the rechargeable battery outdated. Repetition cycle-life to fill out will increase the capacity loss per cycle. Several times' content sharing some 'better than a one-time' wear out '. However, you also have to batteries mengkalibrasi regularly.


How to extend battery ages

1. With battery calibration 'wear out' every 30 times to maintain the accuracy of the elements in the battery. Use your notebook until the battery runs out-of-charged before.
2. Avoid repetition 'wear out' the order. Li-Ion battery a bit more storage capacity lost when one has not been charged out use.
3. Release baterau and store in a cool and dry. Is the optimum level of 40% for long storage. Save the battery power is low will cause permanent damage. Therefore, it is usually when you buy a new notebook, the battery is fully up to about half a quarter.
4. If you store batteries in the refrigerator, use plastic bags a sealed to avoid humidity. Leave the battery menghangat at room temperature before use or menge charge it.

Some practical tips:

1. Avoid to put your battery is a hot place, such as in the car at the time of day
2. Use until exhausted is not good for Li-Ion battery. Should do when your back is to reach 10-20% level.
3. Battery calibration every 30 times you charge. Leave the battery taken out, to keep a laptop in the remains accurate.
4. If you will be using electric power for long periods, you can extend the age of the battery and remove it with a saving in storage
5. Save at the dry and cold conditions with the battery than 40%. Some experts suggest that to save it in the refrigerator. Use a plastic bag that is closed meeting to remove the moisture.
6. Do not enter into the freezer to be frozen.
7. If you want to use again, leave at room temperature before used again.
