According to statistics, choosing a laptop computer, the future owner of the least interested in what kind of laptop battery used in this model.But how to learn the rules of use of the battery, even can not speak.The natural result of this approach - a complete disregard for the manufacturer's recommendations, and accelerated wear of the battery.A man who never looked at the section "Battery Laptop" price lists of computer companies, it may seem that this component of the computer system is a consumable, and some special treatment is not required.In fact, the battery cost is often half to quarter of the price of the product, which is quite a lot.Consequently, such a valuable component as laptop battery, should be protected.
Operating rules
One of the most common mistakes made by the owners of portable computers - is constantly working with the battery.At a time when the full-size personal computers gradually give way to its compact mobile brethren, many users use a laptop as a stationary desktop.That is more than 90% of the time he works on the network, and an internal source is inactive.Because of this mode laptop battery degrades very rapidly, losing capacity, and when it is necessary to work independently, while the functioning of the system does not correspond to specified in the instructions (usually it is less than a few times).
Conclusion: with prolonged use of a laptop as a desktop alternative to internal power source to be extracted.This level of charge should be about 40-50%, and once a month should recharge the battery, put it back into the notebook.As an option: You can periodically switch the system on battery power.
second error lies in the fact that few people know about the presence of the calibration function.As a result, due to untuned operation of the controller, for example, a laptop battery for Toshiba (and not only) loses capacity.Calibrated controller has the ability to accurately determine the remainder of the charge, the current status and the level of fullness of cells.
essence of this function is that first there is a full charge, the level "stored" circuit controller as a maximum.This is followed by the discharge as long as the computer is turned off.It is recorded as the minimum threshold.If not periodically perform calibration, the actual values recorded and can vary significantly.Because of this, the charging process can begin well before full dilution (or indicator will show a full battery, and the work will be only a couple of minutes).Conclusion: you must enter the BIOS (for example, the button F2) and activate the box "Calibration".As an option: to download a special tool manufacturer laptop and use it to configure.
few interesting facts
During long journeys, when mains power is not available, a standard way to charge the battery can not come to the aid of a solar battery for a laptop.Inside this device is its own battery, rechargeable by solar energy.Conveniently enough, but there are a number of features which can be found by examining the relevant information.
Laptops "Toshiba", for example, has a function that allows you to specify the mode of use - landline or mobile.Properly adjusted charge controller operation, prolonging battery life.
