First, please note that the battery can be in-charge (rechargeable battery) that there are several types. Which is often used for general electronic goods usually are Nickel based (NiCd) and Lithium-based (Lithium-ion). For laptops, this time almost certainly all use Lithium-ion type. Besides being capable of storing greater power, Lithium-ion batteries are also more environmentally friendly than the NiCd batteries are highly toxic.
Knowing the different types of batteries is very important because both are very different characteristics. In the NiCd batteries, electrolytes contained within will gather at the bottom (at the bottom) because of the influence of gravity, when stored too long (stored in the warehouse). That's why when purchasing a new NiCd batteries, it is advisable to charge for at least 8 hours (optimally 16-24 hours) prior to first use. Often, however, when buying electronic equipment that uses the battery stores (sellers) advised to charge the batteries at least 8 hours before first use, although not a NiCd battery type.
Another mistaken assumption that the battery should be used until it is really (want to) run out before it can be charged again. Again this applies to NiCd, where the batteries of this type there is the phenomenon of "memory effect", ie as if the battery is able to "remember" the amount of power that are filled at the time of the last charging process. So for example kapasitanya NiCd batteries are still 65% and then in-charge up to full (which means charge the battery as much as 35%), then the battery will be considered as if its capacity to 35%. But again, this does not apply to Lithium-ion battery type.
Battery type Lithium-ion batteries are now also widely used for other electronic devices such as mobile phones or digital cameras. So the tips below you can also apply for your gadget that uses Lithium-ion battery type. The following tips:
For the first time the use of the battery charge
normally. As already described above, to charge the battery at least 8 hours for the first time only applies to types of Nickel-based batteries. For Lithium-ion batteries, the absence of difference between charging the 1st, 5th, or to-500. In fact, if in-charge for too long can result Overcharging makes the battery life shorter.
Charge the battery regularly in short intervals without having to wait until the battery is (almost) gone. Battery type Lithium-ion batteries are not familiar with the phenomenon of "memory effect" like NiCd batteries. In fact, research indicates that the battery is used in-charge when the capacity is still 70% - 75% aged 5-6 times longer than the battery which is often in-charge when its capacity is almost exhausted.
Keep the temperature is not too hot. High temperature is the enemy number one battery because of the heat will accelerate the degradation of the cells in the battery. For as much as possible put / put the laptop in a cool and protected from direct sunlight. The habit of putting a laptop in the car on a hot day should also be avoided if you do not want the battery life is reduced drastically.
Set the air circulation to keep it smooth. Avoid putting a laptop on a mattress or pillow as this will interfere with air circulation that resulted in the laptop becomes hot quickly. The most practical way is to use coolpad. Coolpad is a simple, cheap equipment but very useful, especially to maintain the temperature so that the laptop does not overheat. In addition, after using a laptop, you should set aside some time to become a laptop cooler before being fed into a laptop bag.
Wherever possible use a laptop without the battery if at all possible. This is actually my own experience when evaluating the habit of using my laptop. After I think about it, I am every day in the office using a laptop is like a PC, which is about 6-8 hours non-stop and rarely migrate. Well if you already like this, seems to be silly if I use a laptop with a back and forth to charge the battery within that time frame. After realizing this, now I almost always turn on my laptop without the battery (directly to the power), both while in office or at home. I just use a battery if there are any tasks / purposes beyond that required me to use a laptop in mobile.
If want to save the battery for a long time, keep a cool place with a capacity of 40%. There was a study that compared the batteries are stored in a capacity of 40% with a battery that is stored with a capacity of 100%. The result, stored battery with a capacity of 100% capacity loss experienced greater than 40%. This knowledge I use for my digital camera is not very often I use (usually I use the weekend alone, and even then not every week). Once each finished using a digital camera, I always charge to the brim with ideas that will be used later when already ready for use. But not anymore. Now I charge a digital camera to the full only when it will be used.
Use energy-efficient laptops. By saving energy use of the laptop battery life can last longer.There are several ways to save battery life, all of which have been discussed in the article Tips on Saving Battery in Notebook / Laptop this.
Well, so are some tips on how to prolong laptop battery life. For those of you who are curious and want to dig deeper, I suggest you visit:
