First, note that the battery can be in-charge (rechargeable battery) that there are several types. Which is often used for general electronic goods usually are Nickel based (NiCd) and Lithium based (Lithium-ion). For laptops, this time almost certainly all use Lithium-ion type. In addition to being able to save more power, Lithium-ion batteries are also more environmentally friendly than a NiCd battery is highly toxic.Knowing the different types of batteries is very important because the two are very different characteristics. In the NiCd batteries, the electrolytes in it would come under (at the bottom) because of the influence of gravity, when stored too long (in storage). That's why when purchasing a new NiCd battery, it is advisable to charge for at least 8 hours (optimally 16-24 hours) prior to first use. Often, however, when buying electronic equipment that uses the battery stores (sellers) advised to charge the batteries at least 8 hours before first time use, although not the type of NiCd batteries.Another mistaken assumption that the battery should be used until it was (going) out before it can be charged again. Again this applies to NiCd, where the batteries of this type there is the phenomenon of "memory effect", ie as if the battery is able to "remember" the amount of power that are filled at the time of the last charging. So for example kapasitanya NiCd batteries are 65% and then in-charge up to full (which means charging as much as 35%), then the battery will be considered as if its capacity to 35%. But again, this does not apply to the type Lithium-ion batteries.Battery type Lithium-ion batteries are now also widely used for other electronic devices such as mobile phones or digital cameras. So the tips below you can also apply for your gadget that uses Lithium-ion battery type. The following tips:
- For the first time use a normal battery charge. As described above, to charge the batteries at least 8 hours for the first time only apply to Nickel based batteries types. For Lithium-ion battery, charging no difference between the 1st, 5th, or to-500. Even if in-charge for too long can lead to overcharging which makes the shorter battery life.
- Charge the battery regularly in short intervals without having to wait until the battery is (almost) gone. Lithium-ion battery types are not familiar with the phenomenon of "memory effect" like NiCd batteries. In fact, research indicates that the battery is used in-charge when the capacity is still 70% - 75% age 5-6 times longer than the battery which is often in-charge when capacity is low.
- (Increase) If you use a notebook to linger, do not disconnect the charger. When you use the notebook to linger, when new light notebook, plug the charger and hold the charger even if battery is full again. This applies to battery on the new notebook does provide a "auto-controll" so without having to disconnect the battery charger can still even be able to control and well maintained.
- Keep the temperature is not too hot. High temperature is the number one enemy of the state of the battery because the heat will accelerate the degradation of the cells in the battery. For the best possible place / put the laptop in a cool place and protected from direct sunlight. Habit of putting a laptop in the car on a hot day should also be avoided if you do not want the battery life is reduced drastically.
- Set the air circulation to keep it smooth. Avoid putting a laptop in bed or pillow as this will interfere with air circulation that resulted in the laptop gets hot quickly. The most practical way is to use the Coolpad. Coolpad is a simple, cheap equipment, but very useful, especially to maintain the temperature so that the laptop does not overheat. In addition, after using a laptop, you should set aside some time to become a laptop cooler before being fed into a laptop bag.
Wherever possible use a laptop without a battery if at all possible. This is actually my own experience when evaluating the habit of using my laptop. After I think about it, I do every day in the office using a laptop is like a PC, which is about 6-8 hours non-stop and rarely move. Well if it's like this, seems to be silly if I use a laptop with a back and forth to charge the battery within that time frame. After realizing this, now I almost always turn on my laptop without the battery (directly to the power), both for the office or at home. I just use a battery if there are any tasks / purposes beyond that required me to use a mobile laptop. This part of our streak because after listening to a lot of input, suggestions and other information resources on the internet, the risks resulting from the use of the notebook without the battery is greater than when using it as usual. Simply put, the price of the battery is much cheaper than the price of notebook components laindi. Thank you very much for criticism and advice.
- If want to save battery life long enough, keep a cool place with a capacity of 40%. There is a study that compared the capacity of a battery that is stored in 40% of the stored battery with a capacity of 100%. The result, stored battery with a capacity of 100% capacity loss experienced greater than 40%. This knowledge I use for my digital camera is not very often I use (I usually wear weekend alone, and even then not every week). Once every completed using a digital camera, I always charge to the brim with ideas that will be used later when the company was ready for use. But not anymore. Now I charge a digital camera to be used only when full.
- Use energy-efficient laptops. With the energy savings laptop battery life can last longer. There are several ways to save battery life, all of which have been discussed in the article on "Battery Saving Tips on Notebook / Laptop".
In addition to the above tips, you should also check the condition of diligent your laptop battery. If you use the HP brand, then you can use an application that is in Battery Check HP Support Assistant to see the technical data of your laptop battery. In addition, there is also a free application that can be used also BatteryCare for this purpose.
Well, so a few tips on how to extend laptop battery life. For those of you who are curious and want to dig deeper, I suggest you visit:
On both sites you can read the various explanations and research about the battery, along with a variety of data, tables, and diagrams complete.
Great post.Thanks Again. Much obliged.
