Technology: Enhancing Lithium-Ion Battery Performance

Is your laptop starting to feel more like a desktop, constantly needing to be plugged in and recharged? This is a classic sign of capacity loss, where Acer aspire 3000 battery become increasingly unable to carry a charge. Unfortunately, dell inspiron 1545 battery degradation is unavoidable. All batteries have a lifespan, and with a life expectancy of 2-4 years, the Lithium-Ion laptop battery is no exception. Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to slow the degradation process.


1. Avoid Excessive Heat

This is quite possibly THE most important factor that will influence how long your COMPAQ 511 ac adapter battery lasts. All manufacturers agree that it’s extremely essential to avoid excessive heat, which destroys the battery’s effectiveness. Apple recommends keeping your acer battery between 50F-95F when in use, with room temperature 70 F being ideal.

To keep your laptop–and its sony vgp-bps2 battery–within the recommended temperature range, use it on a flat surface that allows air to flow from the vents underneath. A cooling station is a great way to keep air circulating. You can get one for as little as $10 on Amazon. It’s best to keep your laptop off of bedding comforters, pillows, and clothing, these materials not only collect heat, but also prevent your computer from ventilating.

2. “When using wall current, is it OK to keep the Compaq presario 2100 battery in the laptop?” It depends.

Shoppers frequently ask if it’s okay leave the toshiba battery in your computer if it is plugged-in most of the time. This is a highly debated issue and there is a lot of inconsistent information on the web, even amongst manufacturers! Apple says you shouldn’t leave it in while Dell says it doesn’t matter. After examining the data out there, I’ve concluded that it depends on your computer usage habits.

You should remove your hp pavilion dv9000 ac adapter battery if your computer is ALWAYS connected to an external power source and frequently runs programs that require a lot of computing power (e.g. games, video editing software). Under these circumstances, there is usually a lot of heat coming from the laptop itself. If your Dell inspiron 5000 battery is always next to this heat source, it will degrade quickly. This goes back to tip #1 above–avoid excessive heat.

According to Battery University.com, 40% capacity loss occurs in as little as 3 months if lithium-ion dell inspiron 1545 ac adapter batteries are kept in extremely hot environments–above 140 F–while being fully charged.

If you’re always mobile, you shouldn’t worry about keeping your dell laptop battery in your laptop–so long as it doesn’t get too hot. Ideally, it’s best to switch off between external power and battery power to “keep the electrons moving.”*
3. Your sony vaio pcg-505 battery Should Calibrated Every Month

The on-screen battery icon, which displays your battery’s current charge level, becomes less accurate over time. You might have experienced this firsthand–I definitely have.
One minute, your APPLE a1175 battery shows an hour of charge left, but just a few moments later, it’s down to 20 minutes.

Sometimes the dell inspiron 6000 battery meter may report a substantial amount of charge remaining, when in fact, the hp battery actually has much less than that. This can cause your laptop to shut down unexpectedly.

Calibrate the battery every month or two to keep the charge meter accurate.

The take-home point here is that lithium-ion laptop batteries prefer everything in moderation. They don’t like being too hot or too cold, and they shouldn’t remain fully charged or fully discharged for long periods of time. Although there will come a time when your Compaq presario 2100 battery will need to be replaced, using your battery efficiently will help to ensure that this occurs later rather than sooner.
