How to extend laptop battery life properly?

 

Laptop battery long time, was often sufficient dissatisfaction, or even show damage, and therefore must use attention to some tips: whether your laptop uses lithium or NiMH power as possible after the exhaustion of charge to the basic power (electricity less than 5%), which is the best way to avoid the memory effect. In fact, the lithium-ion VGP-BPS8A battery has some memory effect, but much smaller than the nickel-metal hydride batteries Bale. Remember, though, is that charging the battery, try to avoid too long, the general control within 12 hours.
Battery life is not the length of time by the general use, but by the charge and discharge times to decide. If the Dell Inspiron 1520 battery is always loaded to the laptop rather than an off, even if the machine and remove the AC power supply closed after the batteries did not like the thought has remained fully charged state. Notebook computer batteries because the battery in the integrated control circuit, so even when the power is also shut down the computer power. As one connected to the AC power(85wh apple A1172 Adapter) source, the battery will start charging when turned on or off the power, the battery will be charged and discharged repeatedly, affecting battery life.

When using the AC external power supply is best to unplug the battery, or battery life long impact on their status in the heat. If the long-term without the Toshiba pa3420u 1brs battery, please charge and discharge at least once a month to ensure its activity. In the custody of the battery also has a need attention. At present, the vast majority of notebooks used in lithium ion batteries do not use if the time is often prone to the phenomenon of excessive discharge, may no longer be charged. In order to prevent over-discharge, charge state in half to save in a cool dry place, and then once every six months, then half of its electricity to the state of charge.
In addition, factors that affect battery life include the use of the environment temperature (30 ℃ suggested the following to use), battery storage and battery temperature suffered shock size. PA3534U-1BRS battery will be used after a period of time aging, concrete expression of resistance change is large, in charge faster than when both ends of the voltage increase, so easy to charge control circuit judge to have full capacity has naturally decreased . Battery calibration is an effective way to deal with aging batteries, a small number of notebook battery calibration software will be dedicated.
If your laptop does not discharge specific software, you can follow these steps:

● Disable the screen saver;

● In the Windows Power Management power scheme will be set to "always open";

● In the Alert tab will be "insufficient power warning" is set to 10%, the operation is set to "no action";

● will be "a serious power shortage alert," set to 3%, operating as "pending";

● the screen brightness to the maximum;

● sure all the windows closed, and save all the data before work;

● Check that the battery charge after more than 80%, unplug the power and all external devices.
After the discharge end of the notebook(notebook battery) will automatically shut down after the power plug for laptop charging, this process can be repeated 2 to 3 times the aim is to continuous low current discharge batteries, which discharge state in our daily use can not be achieved , its effects and those dedicated basically the same discharge software.
