Maximize your laptop battery life

Collected by www.diggingshop.com

When I first got my laptop 1 year ago , my laptop battery life was about 3 hours. Now after daily use (mostly with plug but using battery as well) it is down to 1.5 hrs which is basically useless. SO I am buying a new dell d620 battery from diggingshop.com?the battery shop suggest:

“New dell laptop battery come in a discharged condition and must be fully charged before use it. It is recommended that you fully charge and discharge your new dell laptop battery 3 times to allow it to reach its maximum rated capacity.

Rechargeable battery will undergo self-discharging when left unused.Don’t store notebook batteries completely discharged.It should always be stored in a fully charged status and kept in a cool, dry and clean place.

Fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks.With lithium-ion dell laptop batteries, partial charges and discharges are best on a regular basis. These batteries do not suffer from the memory effect.

With the use of your dell d620 battery, the battery life will be shorter and shorter.How to keep the battery a longer life is the primary problem that the computer users should pay attention to ”

It turns out that the single, most important aspect to maximizing a laptop battery life is something that I wouldn’t have thought of: matching the battery to its charger. In the diggingshop.com’s words: “Make sure your laptop battery and adapter match and you have a quality adapter.”

That, further, minimizes any manufacturing differences that may occur over time.

The number two factor in laptop battery life? Temperature.

The fact is that laptops just aren’t designed for … well, for laps. If you look at the bottom of your laptop you’ll see it probably has feet (or more likely, bumps or rubber pads) that lift it off of any flat surface you might put it on. That creates very important space for ventilation. If you block that space, with say your lap, it’s likely that you’ll be causing the laptop to run hotter than it should. If you do this regularly, you’ll likely shorten the lifespan of the laptop’s batteries.

Again, in diggingshop.com’s words: “Rechargeable dell d620 battery will undergo self-discharging when left unused.Don’t store notebook batteries completely discharged.It should always be stored in a fully charged status and kept in a cool, dry and clean place.”

Temperature cycling – allowing the laptop to become very cold and then warm, repeatedly – say by leaving it in your car overnight in cold weather regularly can also adversely impact the battery’s life.

A concern that I’ve had for a long time is whether or not leaving a laptop plugged in for extended periods of time would harm the battery. Today’s designs pretty much expect that type of usage, so it’s not the issue I was afraid it might be. Good thing, too … my laptop is plugged in and running pretty much 24×7.

Finally: “Dont use laptop battery if it is not necessary because every charge/discharge time may shorten hp compaq batterys life. .”

Dell Laptop Battery Tips

How to extend dell laptop battery life? Here are some more tips to improve your notebook’s battery life:

1. If you do not use your laptop for extended periods of time (a week or more), remove the dell xps m1330 battery pack from the laptop.

2. Do not expose the inspiron 1525 battery to high heat or freezing temperatures. Do not leave your battery in your car in the summer. Hot batteries discharge very quickly, and cold ones can’t create as much power.

3. Make sure to plug your laptop charger adapter into a UPS and not directly into a power outlet or surge protector.

4. If you have a nickel-metal hydride dell xps m1530 battery, completely drain and recharge the battery once a month to maximize its capacity to hold a charge.

5. Fully charge new dell laptop battery packs before use. New pack needs to be fully charged and discharged (cycled) a few times before it can condition to full capacity.

6. For laptops that work as Desktop Replacement, the laptop battery should be re-installed every 3-4 weeks and allowed to fully discharge.

7. Leaving a battery in a laptop while using an electrical outlet for long periods of time will keep the battery in a constant state of charging up and that will reduce the life cycle of the battery.

8. Do not store dell laptop battery for long periods plugged into or attached to any power source. This includes AC adapters and laptop security carts plugged into an outlet.

9. Laptop batteries, including those stored in laptop systems, should maintain an Operational Storage Temperature of 0° to 35°C (32° to 95°F).

10. Batteries may be stored in the laptop or outside of the laptop.

11. Charge dell xps m1530 battery before storing. The recommended charging time should not exceed 1 hour. Typically, this should charge the battery to between 80% and 100%. (Some discharge will take place over time. Stored batteries are expected to discharge 10-15% over a four month period, for your information.)

Battery-saving sleep modes: Should I use Stand By or Hibernate

Standby mode

Use standby to save power when you will be away from the computer for a short time while working – your monitor and hard disks turn off, all applications and open files are stored in RAM. When you want to use the computer again, it comes out of standby quickly, and your desktop is restored exactly as you left it.

Hibernation Mode

Use hibernation to save power when you will be away from the computer for an extended time while working – your computer shuts down to save power but first saves everything in memory on your hard disk. When you restart the computer, your desktop is restored exactly as you left it.

When you choose Start, Turn Off Computer in Windows XP, your options are Stand By, Turn Off, and Restart. To Hibernate, place the cursor over Stand By, then hold down Shift and click.
