Notebook battery maintenance and correct using skills

First, buy laptop battery, after more than three times continuously for 12 hours charging, to prevent “memory effect”
First ask a very stupid question: my friends have cell phones, right? A lot of friends in the use of mobile phones is going to be consciously or unconsciously, in accordance with the business to remind others to do one thing, that is, after the first three mobile phones to buy back the battery charge is 12 hours of electricity, and then again after isoelectric used charge. The reason is because of friends to worry about their cell phone batteries have “memory effect”, the memory effect refers to the battery for a long time subjected to a specific work cycle, automatically keep this particular trend. Therefore, saying that if only 50 per Inspiron 1520 battery charge % of the time to get started, then after the battery charge memory effect would be the next time only charge to 50% of the time to “charge does not go out.” In fact, this “memory effect” that the nickel-cadmium and nickel metal hydride batteries, the lithium-ion laptop batteries, memory effect is almost negligible.

With the gradual improvement of manufacturing processes, such as lithium-ion battery charging features constant current charging time control of their depth in 4 hours, there is no need to charge the phone battery laptop battery law to get up, laptop battery has to charge every two weeks or a month’s time resting, will conduct a laptop battery depth of discharge, the term sounds a bit scary, in fact, battery-powered, no electricity and then used directly on the computer automatically shut down on it. However, the number of times the depth of discharge should not be too frequent.

Second, when using the AC adapter must first remove the battery to prevent the battery “full blast”

Currently available lithium-ion batteries used in laptops to complete 300 to 600 times (some data that can be more) of the charge and discharge process, we can calculate what their own, and now available on the market models of battery Centrino general official data more than 5-6 hours, the Pentium 4 models use the battery for 3 hours, then as a lithium-ion battery charge and discharge 600 as the standard, you can use your own laptop battery can calculate how long out. Some of my friends when using the AC adapter, the battery is worried about taking off the battery inside if he left more power, plug in the AC adapter, the results to the results start charging, causing the battery to waste their time so-called ” number of charge cycles. ” In fact, this worry is unnecessary, because laptop battery power within the state certainly can not be hundred percent, so when using the AC adapter charge will certainly be completed. But now many manufacturers of laptops are designed with battery protection measures, such as IBM’s notebook is only less than 95% of the electricity will be charged when, but not absolute, that have no ability to rely entirely on the design of the notebook OEM manufacturers weak in this regard may be some. If you really are distressed that their batteries, it might come off!

Laptop battery explosion

Battery explosion appears little chance of things. But it is not absolutely not, there are lithium-ion VGP-BPS8 battery lithium batteries, a control circuit between them and the management board to complete the charge and discharge control circuit if the loss of certain functions or direct failure of the sensitivity of the original, you can not effectively control the current, internal temperature batteries cause the explosion. Or the batteries inside the battery short circuit will appear to explode. But good thing about the notebook is now available in the market of high-quality products are based abroad to buy batteries or direct other people’s batteries, the quality is relatively better. The domestic part of the lithium-ion battery manufacturers are also many imported from abroad and then proceed to manufacture batteries. So is an old saying goes, when in the selection of notebooks, as much as possible for manufacturers to consider some budget products, correct.

Third, the battery does not meet official standards, definitely a problem with the battery

Friends will buy a notebook of all worry about this problem. Indeed, with the birth of Centrino technology makes the laptop battery for longer standby time possible. Manufacturers of notebook computers even more marked for 10-hour “battery life standard.” In fact, this is only to attract the attention of consumers is an advertising only. Most laptop batteries can not meet the so-called “official standard”, perhaps friends remember saving technology NP-FW50 ASUS Power 4 Gear patented technology (also upgraded version of Power 4 Gear +), M6 series of books known as the battery extended to 5.5 hours, but Asus’s sales staff told the author of the books of the time battery life also about 3 hours. Of course having said that, battery manufacturing processes for existing customers is not our problem can be resolved. So when faced battery is no “official battery using the standard” Do not be surprised when friends because of not so long time is the normal (if your laptop battery to the official standard, then please do not Paizhuan, I said most of the books.)

If the friends reached the battery standby time than the “official battery standard”, then we can still be extended by a number of ways:

1,25 ℃ ~ 40 ℃ using a standard external environment, the use of lithium-ion batteries can reach the best condition, if the temperature is too high, not only the PAVILION ZT3000 laptop itself runs slow or even crash, and the battery in such an environment is also under will affect its efficiency. So as far as possible under the indoor environment using a laptop.

2, the less frequently used equipment disabled. Usually the best use of battery power when the interface is no need to disable the swap, such as wireless network card, printer port, infrared port, 1394 Firewire, etc., or you’ll waste a lot of battery power, the specific method is to “control panel “-” System “-” Hardware “-” Device Manager “to find they have to disable the device, and then click” Disable “on it, you need the time to be” enabled devices “, is very simple. After disabling the use of results have been very obvious, you can save a lot of power.

3, to reduce power consumption within the device. More and more CPU-frequency, high-speed hard drives will bring a lot of energy consumption, and increased heat dissipation. Therefore, no special requirements, the best use of the system or the internal or third-party software to control the drive speed, not to open too many windows and programs in order to avoid CPU overload of work, it will not only reduce battery power consumption, the other can reduce heat , in the “hot autumn” season there, this is still a bit of benefits.

Fourth, start charging the laptop battery is very harmful

Start charging in the end there is no harm? I once saw a man turn my phone is charging, and then over that one: wow! How dare you start charging, you are not afraid to explode! ? Although it is a joke, but they reflect a lot of friends with errors. In the notebook, the previous design is that if some models now use battery-powered, so even if the plug in the AC adapter or battery-powered laptop, which is the “charge does not go” phenomenon, today’s notebook computers are not so in the design of risk, and when plug AC adapter, when the external laptop battery power supply immediately turned and began to charge the battery. So now there is no need to recharge off.

Fifth, the long-term casual aside without batteries

Users the problem is often ignored. But this is not a small issue, and I talk to the laptop engineer told the author, many notebook manufacturers to recommend that users control the battery power more than 5%, such an approach is to eliminate passivation of the electrode, because the laptop battery at the factory the time had already started to slow self-discharge (to activate the battery thing has been in the workshop is complete, we do not need to worry about), a laptop is likely to be consumers at the factory six months after purchase, and the battery has discharged six months the. Here again I suggest that if long-term friends who do not use the battery and AC adapter power supply, it is best to leave the laptop battery 40% – 50% more than allowed to self-discharge power, without charge, then discharge the battery from it is easy to go wrong or even scrapped. You think, ah, self-discharge must be to release, but there is no power what you put it, ah, no problem strange!

There is also a need to pay attention to the question: if long-term battery-powered and not powered by AC adapter (for example students), put the battery in a cool dry place such as the cabinet. This approach is to avoid the humid environment, while if the whole do not, the best place to separate the battery and books, do not believe we bought the books when the attention of mobile phone and see, business is not separate from the battery and the machine placed?

VI crashed but there is no way to pull the battery

I have seen some friends before the machines will not shut down the phenomenon, even illegal shutdown do not work, Blame the great “fainted dead” system! Finally her brother directly to a second stamping a three to pull the battery with eyes closed, and heard to scream off the books. In fact, this practice is very harmful, because in the standby state, the memory is powered and working, if the rash take off the vgp-bsp13/s battery directly, missing data are inevitable, not in the plug when the AC adapter, battery check , such an approach can only be a hundred more harm than good.
