If you want to increase the amount of charge that you get out of your laptop battery and also increase the time before you will have to buy a replacement laptop battery, then you have found what you are looking for. This article will show you a few little tips and tricks that you can implement on a daily basis to greatly increase your laptop battery life. A lot of people that I know do not have any idea about how to treat the batteries in their laptops resulting in them having to replace them every six months! This can be avoided. Read on to find out more.
Depending on the type of battery that is in your laptop, you will have to do different things. There are currently four main types that are in use today with one type being phased out and another type being phased in. The four main types are lithium ion batteries (or Li-Ion batteries), nickel metal hydride batteries (or NiMH batteries), nickel cadmium batteries (or NiCd and sometimes NiCad) and lithium polymer batteries (or Li-po batteries). The oldest type in current use is the nickel cadmium kind and the new type that is currently gaining popularity is the lithium polymer battery.
Nickel metal hydride and nickel cadmium batteries are both susceptible to a thing called battery memory degradation. This is where, over time, the battery cannot hold as much as it used leading to hugely reduced running times of your laptop. To stop the severity of this effect there are a few little things that you can do such as not recharging the battery until it is totally empty, and making sure that you leave as much room as possible between each recharge. Also, you should ensure that each time you perform a recharge, you charge the battery to its full capacity.
If your computer has a lithium ion battery or a lithium polymer battery there are a few different steps that you need to take to ensure that you keep your laptop batteries maximised. You need to ensure that you do not run these types of batteries totally dry. This can lead to damage to the internal chemical makeup and cause irreversible damage. Most new laptops come with power management programs so you do not have to worry about this as they will shut down if the charge in the laptop battery gets down to below 10 percent. Also try to take the battery out of the laptop if you have it plugged into an AC power supply for most of the time. Before you do this, ensure that the battery is fully charged and remember to put the battery back in the laptop before you remove the power supply or your computer will instantly turn off.
Following the above simple steps is not a hard thing to do. It will save you a lot of time, effort and money. New laptop batteries can be quite expensive so performing a few little tasks each time you use your laptop is a small price to pay for the rewards that you will receive in the future.
