How to conserve laptop battery
What type of batteries used in laptops?
Currently, all batteries that come with laptops are made using Li-Ion technology. These are a type of lithium in the lithium remains in the ionic state.
These Dell inspiron 1464 battery are expensive and that lithium is an expensive material. Its main advantage is the amount of energy we can store in a small volume.
Key Benefits
No or very low memory effect
Excellent amount of energy / volume due to the physical properties of lithium.
Auto-flush (natural discharge when the battery is not used) minimum.
Much safer in relation to the first lithium batteries (in the metallic state) due to integrated electronic circuits.
main disadvantages
The price, because of the complexity of manufacture and the material (lithium)
Deteriorate significantly when the Dell inspiron 1564 battery is discharged below 10% (can lose up to 20% of its capacity at once!).
Charging current limited by its internal technology and the dangers of lithium, so the burden may seem slow.
Low temperature resistance: It is recommended to use at a temperature between 20 and 25 ° C, and should not exceed 40 ° C if they can not hurt. Should never reach high temperatures in the range of 75-80 ° C because they may explode.
Like all batteries they deteriorate over time and nothing can reverse this process.
ATTENTION:
General batteries (batteries, lead acid batteries or lithium batteries, etc..) Pollute the environment so it should never be thrown away. They must be recycled (in some countries will find in supermarkets and computer shops where you can leave them for recycling).
Never attempt to open a Dell inspiron 1570 battery to repair them because you can severely burn or poison.
Increase the lifespan of the battery of a laptop
euros in general, is why it is better to know certain concepts and implement them to prolong their lifespan.
For example:
When you buy a battery the first thing to do (after seeing the power in W) is to see the date of manufacture: a battery loses its capacity from the moment it is manufactured, so the more recent date manufacturing capacity of the battery will be very close to that on the label.
Prefer brands of batteries, especially batteries in promoting not buy imported directly from China, they can be very dangerous since they have probably had a very low quality control and even no quality control. So be careful as they can be dangerous!
Do not exceed the discharge current specified by the manufacturer of the battery (example: 4400mAh figure then do not consume more than 4.4 A for one hour) and that can damage considerably. To be clear, it is not advisable to use the battery to power other machines.
A very important point mentioned above: never use it to below 10% load. In general the operating system puts the PC into standby when it is only 15% load. If you run the risk of losing 20% of its capacity at once, personally lost 10% of the capacity of my Dell inspiron 1764 battery trying to prove .
Do not use the battery while charging. But not to worry, because when we recharge the battery power cable power divided: one side is going to charge the battery and the other is used to run the laptop, therefore the battery is not used during this time.
Recharge the battery without interruption when it has downloaded the most (not below 10% but when the operating system puts the laptop on standby). This allows the battery to do a full discharge followed by a full charge, allowing you to keep it. This is recommended 1 to 2 times a month.
Another important point is that it is necessary to remove the battery when the PC is connected to the grid, and we do not need just because all the current portable PC (or the same batteries) are equipped with electronic circuits that prevent using the battery and is charged when the Vostro 3300 battery is connected to the mains.
Instead unplug the power cord from a laptop when off, to avoid any unnecessary burden on micro-battery.
SONY seems that it stops charging the battery to 80% of its new laptops to limit wear. So if you see this in a Sony laptop there is no reason to worry.
Do not forget the batteries are thrown into the trash but must be left in place for the recycling
