In notebook computers, Pavilion DV8000 battery is a love-hate component, it gives the mobile use of notebook computers the ability to continue to work at every turn but a few days compared to a week or even mobile phones and MD, notebook battery time remains a tooth If the cell phone battery can only use eight hours, people would be reviled, but it results in the notebook PC which is the pride of the best, to say the development of notebook computers in the slowest parts, in addition to the keyboard should turn the battery

That there is such a joke: Intel’s investment and technology through participation in support of the new battery technology, “For us, the lithium battery in the 1990s has been good enough,” director of marketing for Intel’s mobile platforms, said Mooly Eden, “Battery Improvement of teens just like the relationship between young people and the same: everyone talking about, but no one has done. ”

Maintenance Pavilion DV9000 batteries notebook computer users has been a hot topic, but in fact there a lot of misunderstanding, in the final analysis from two aspects, one is “thinking does not keep up with the nickel-metal hydride batteries to lithium batteries of changes”, while a more comedy, from the phone, because in fact the majority of mobile phone users access to the first use of the equipment repeatedly rechargeable battery, it will take for granted some of the habits of mobile phone to the laptop was an extension of.

I did not intend to cultivate the majority of notebook users into experts, then there is no need, I just want to bring some of the most vulnerable to clarify the misunderstanding and give the correct perspective and practices.

A misunderstanding 1 : the need for notebook computers bought three times repeated charge-discharge in order to activate the battery.

Unless you buy a notebook computer is more than one year of product inventory, or need not do so because there are Pavilion DV1000 batteries in the battery when the factory has been activated, and the batteries in the package when the battery into the notebook, after a equivalent to the activation of the test, so you get the battery in hand, already have been activated, and again three charge-discharge process was an increase in unnecessary depletion of the battery.

Misunderstanding 2: the first charge must be sufficient enough for 12 hours.

This early stage those who do not have the battery control circuit of the Ni-MH battery models are applicable, but for now have a smart charging and discharging control circuit for the notebook battery is a joke, when the notebook computer battery is full, the charge current will be automatically cut off , even if you continue to charge 120 hours, there will not be any change in status, and generally speaking, even the slowest machine charge, 6 hours when fully charged, the rest of the “charge” is just a waste of their time. It is time to get new machines should be fully discharge first rechargeable.

Misunderstanding Three: the need for regular battery calibration, the total charge released once a month.

Strong memory effect for nickel-hydrogen batteries, which is an essential task, but for Li-ion Pavilion DV2000 battery, the cycle is too frequent, and lithium batteries does not completely eliminate the memory effect, but has greatly reduced the memory effect, if you use the battery is frequent, then you should discharge the battery to the relatively low (about 10 ~ 15%) re-charging, but even if the discharge to the open machines are not (0 ~ 1%), belong to the lithium batteries have greater depth of injury discharge generally every two months to do the operation once it. If you rarely use the battery, then every 3 months as long as the first such operation carried out on it.

Misunderstanding Four: correction to enhance the battery capacity can improve the battery capacity

The so-called correction, when the actual capacity of the Pavilion DV6000 battery and control circuit capacity not the same as the record, the depth of a battery charge and discharge operation, so that a record control circuit to the battery close to the actual situation, this is a true performance of the battery capacity rather than enhance the capacity of the operation, the key factor here is the actual capacity of the battery, if the actual battery capacity than the control circuit in the capacity to record high, correction can increase the battery capacity seems, if the actual capacity than the control circuit the capacity to record low, the correction will reduce the battery capacity seems also that many people debate the reasons for the effect of correction, keep in mind that correction is the true battery capacity is shown by the elimination of the battery and control circuit between the deviation, as demonstrated by the capacity will increase or decrease, this is the status of the battery itself, rather than corrected by your decision. Correction is likely because the battery discharge when the depth of injury, but a substantial reduction in capacity.

Many manufacturers provide a battery calibration procedure carried out, the Windows version and BIOS version, it is best to use these procedures to correct, Windows version can be carried out while working, BIOS version can not be like this.

i-ion batteries in a life cycle in general can be 300 to 500 times charge-discharge. So many people think that, as long as using less battery, so that you can to a certain extent, played a role in extending battery life. But they did ignore the original Dell Inspiron E1705 Battery that the physical nature of the end when the battery off the assembly line, it’s internal life, the clock will then start walking.

So even if you do not set aside the battery, lithium Dell Latitude D510 Battery life was only two to three years you can come to an end of. Battery capacity caused by reasons for the decline was due to oxidation caused by the battery internal resistance increases. When the electrolytic cell resistance reaches a certain point, although this time the battery still be full of electricity, but the battery has been unable to release the stored electricity.

Caused by lithium LIFEBOOK T4010 battery is the speed of this aging temperature and set aside when the charge state of preservation decision. I will give a table to illustrate the different situations of these two factors, the impact on the battery capacity.

Can be seen from the table, high charge state and the high temperature accelerated the decline in Lifebook T4220 battery capacity. Therefore, if possible, as far as possible, after the battery charge to 40% placed in a cool place to save. This allows the preservation of a long period, the battery protection circuit is in its working state. And if the battery is fully charged, will be placed at high temperatures, which will cause great damage to the battery, the table has also been seen, charge 100% in the 60 掳 C environmental conservation, 3 months after the battery capacity fell by 40% .

Therefore, how to save the battery solved the issue, but also leads to another focus of everyone has been argued, that is when we use a fixed power supply when there is a need to remove the Apple A1148 battery? Before the resolution of this question let us first analyze the use of fixed power supply when the battery placed in a computer environment in which … … at this time due to charge notebook computers role in protection circuit, so that the battery remained at 100% of full power state, and this When the battery in which the ambient temperature between 25-30 掳 C, at least, if the hot weather, this temperature will be higher, then from the table, you should be very natural to come to a conclusion that it is so to do this would actually damage the battery, causing a decline in its capacity.

But despite the use of laptop computers, high-temperature will bring damage to the Apple A1175 battery. But Qudiao battery, use only a fixed supply, there will still some danger that dust and moisture will cause some damage to the battery, while the use of notebook computers in order to avoid a sudden power notebook computers may cause damage, so Manufacturers generally warn users not to remove the battery. Of course, this result will be naturally imagined, your battery as often in such a relatively poor environment, it will not be long over, and then you will need to go to repair center to replace the battery, this way, the benefit of course, is a manufacturer.

Finally we spotlight a lithium battery that is exactly how a reasonable charge and discharge this issue. For the lithium battery is best for partial discharge, rather than fully discharged, and to as much as possible to avoid frequent full discharges. Regular Apple A1185 battery too low discharge of the result can only be scrapped so that the battery in advance, because if the battery into every cell of 2.5 volts below the battery’s internal safety circuitry will be switched on, this time the battery will become some bad spent. Therefore, in order to avoid such situations from occurring, do not save the battery power before its release was erased, but rather a number of electric charge in the store before, and again before the first fully charged.

All in all, in order not to make your premature loss of the role of the battery, then the use of normal, you should try to comply with the following principles:

A. avoid full discharge, and often for lithium batteries. The repeated arbitrarily rechargeable lithium Toshiba PA3331U-1BRS battery damage is very small, almost negligible.
B. will need to keep hold of lithium batteries placed in the shade, remember not to put in the refrigerator. Avoid placing hot car, such as a long time to save the battery charge to 40% in place.
C. most of the time if you are using a fixed power supply, please remove the batteries placed in the shade.
D. no need to purchase spare lithium batteries for storage, so this piece is actually a waste of Toshiba PA3356U-3BRSbattery.

Battery is brought to use, as long as the attention to rational use and preservation methods, there is no need to care for their excessive, making it possible for its owners contribute more to performance is the most important.
