Battery Wiki: Laptop Battery Facts and Tips

Normally, a laptop battery can take up to 2 hours, but it run less frequently. After a while we notice the battery is getting shorter, we often find they must charge. No matter how well the manufacturer is, battery degradation will occur overtime. But the good news is battery degradation can be minimized by knowing a few facts and tips about notebook battery.

For every new laptop, the battery is empty in the rule. It is advisable to charge at least 4Hours non-stop on the first charge, because it extends the life of the battery. Also during the first charge, it is not advisable, all with the laptop battery.

There are generally two types of batteries. Knowing the difference is important because they affect how we should charge Dell wr050 battery. The older type called nickel-cadmium battery. For this type of battery, it is advisable to empty the battery to run up to, and then recharge it to full. This is a full period. As with other Type of battery, lithium-based battery, it is advisable to use the battery to 10% -20%, before it is fully charged. Windows-based, you will be informed that battery is running low and we should start charging.

So far we have covered how to effectively recharge the battery, but how about the effective use of laptop batteries. On Windows-based, it is recommended that the systems for use to control the laptop power, as the laptop after a period of inactivity acts. Example, ifa battery operated, after 5 minutes, it will turn off monitor. After 10 minutes it will turn off hard disk. After 20 minutes the laptop into standby mode. This can significantly reduce the drain on the laptop battery.

The second way to reduce battery usage is low / dim the laptop monitor brightness. Bright screen uses more power to compare dark screen. Third, when running on Toshiba pa3534u-1brs battery, try to minimize the number of active applications simultaneously. EachApplication consumes processing power, the more processing power, more energy is used from the battery. Finally, if laptop is not used, set the laptop into standby / sleep mode. This can by pressing the "Power" button once, or just close the laptop lid made.

Another final tip on reducing battery power consumption should be avoided, with external devices such as external hard drive, external DVD burner and iPod. These devices do not own power supply, so the electricity directly from experts from the laptop battery. If you really want long run time on laptops that run on a battery should be taken into account, always a 9-cell battery. On down side, it is larger and add additional weight to the laptop, but on the good side, it can last for up to 4 hours of run time.

By knowing these facts and tips, you should be able to prolong life in the laptop battery and maximize your life even when on battery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dell Laptop Battery

All rechargeable batteries wear out with time and usage. As time and cumulative use increase, the performance will degrade. For the typical user, noticeable reduction in run time generally will be observed after 18 to 24 months. For a power user, reduction in run time generally may be experienced prior to 18 months. We recommend buying a new Dell laptop battery when the run time does not meet your needs.

Many factors affect the amount of time that a portable computer battery can deliver power before it must be recharged. These factors include the configuration (processor, memory, etc.), types of applications being run and display brightness.
Dell uses industry standard benchmarks for battery run time claims. For more information on battery run times and benchmarks, the white paper, "Understanding Battery Life in Portable Computers" is available.

The battery charges in the laptop when the laptop is connected to an AC power source via the AC adapter.

The charge time varies depending on the system. If the system supports ExpressCharge, the battery typically will have greater than 80% charge after about an hour of charging, and fully charge in about 2 hours with the system off.

No, discharging and charging does not increase the life of a Lithium Ion technology battery.

No, the battery is designed to stop using the charger when it reaches full charge.

Dell offers a Datamation battery charger for large institution customers. The charger has 16 charge bays to charge batteries for Latitude D500/D505/D510/D520/D600/D610 laptop systems. The product can be found at www.exceldigital.org.uk.

Yes, very easy. First, make sure all open files are saved. Next, either attach the AC adapter directly to the laptop or set the system to "hibernate" mode or shut off. Release the latch on the current battery, and simply install the replacement battery.

Dell has a rigorous qualification process by which all Dell batteries are validated to ensure proper function, performance and safety. Some non-Dell batteries are available in the market with claims of compatibility with Dell systems. Dell cannot verify these claims, nor the safety of using them in a Dell system. Dell strongly encourages our customers to use only Dell laptop batteries advertised as appropriate for their laptop model. Only Dell laptop batteries come with a 1-year warranty, are engineered for optimal safety and performance for Dell systems, and are supported by Dell technical support for the length of the warranty period.

In some laptop systems Dell offers a battery that can be used in the optical drive media bay (DVD/CD drive bay). This enables the use of two batteries, potentially extending the available run time.

No, the modular bay battery is used first, then the system automatically switches to the primary battery. This is a deliberate design to allow the most amount of run time to remain in the primary battery in case the modular bay battery is removed and replaced with an optical drive.
When storing for more than 4 days these guidelines can better preserve the life of your battery: Do not store batteries for long periods plugged into or attached to any power source. This includes AC adapters and laptop security carts plugged into an outlet.
Laptop batteries, including those stored in laptop systems, should maintain an Operational Storage Temperature of 0° to 35°C (32° to 95°F).
Batteries may be stored in the laptop or outside of the laptop.
Charge batteries before storing. The recommended charging time should not exceed 1 hour. Typically, this should charge the battery to between 80% and 100%. (Some discharge will take place over time. Stored batteries are expected to discharge 10-15% over a four month period, for your information.)

Charge A Laptop Battery Without A Charger

Without your AC charger/adapter, you may feel like your laptop is next to worthless. After all, not only do you not have a way to charge the battery in your laptop, you don't even have a way to run your computer via a wall outlet. While new technologies are being developed every day in the area of mobile power solutions (including Intel's research into wireless electrical transmissions), there aren't many current alternatives to charging your laptop battery without a charger. If your problem is that you are without your original charger (which is what normally comes with a new laptop), here are some workarounds you can try that will keep your laptop humming. Keep in mind, though, that they cost money and require an advanced purchase, in which case it may be just as economical and convenient to buy a new charger from your laptop's manufacturer.

Use a universal power adapter. This is perhaps the most obvious solution to your battery woes. Readily found at most retail outlets that carry electronics, a universal power adapter can range anywhere in price from to 0 (or more, depending on how fancy you get). The adapter comes with multiple tips, one of which will likely fit your laptop's charging port. When plugged in, the adapter will not only power your laptop, but will charge its battery as well.

Use a universal auto/air adapter. If you're the road-warrior type who spends more time in your car than at a desk, this might be the sensible solution for you. An auto adapter is similar to a regular power adapter, except it has a modified end that plugs into your car's cigarette lighter. The adapter will keep you powered while in your car (or inflight if it's a combination adapter), and will simultaneously charge your laptop so you're ready for those occasions when you do have to leave your car or plane for the real world.

Buy an external laptop battery charger. These are standalone devices that do not plug into your laptop. Rather, you take the battery out of your laptop, attach it to the charger, plug the charger into an electrical outlet, and rejuice your battery that way. When fully charged, you reinsert the battery back into your laptop. External chargers are usually brand and model specific, so make sure you get one that matches your laptop's specs. One advantage to an external battery charger is that you can charge spare batteries without tying up your laptop.

Universal External Laptop Battery Buying Tips

Most people own more than one laptop unit and of different brands. Owning a universal external laptop battery seems to be the most convenient way to have when you travel as it allows you to use it with any laptop computer unit when your power supply is running out.

It is true that taking care of your laptop battery is a priority as your mobile computer will be useless with a defective battery on it. There is a need to ensure that it works properly in order not to hamper your convenient usage of your notebook. Proper care of your laptop requires its storage in moderate temperature which is neither too cold not too hot. Your laptop battery will be short of power once it is cold and it will not discharge fast when it is hot. You need to frequently charge your battery to ensure it to be fully functioning well.

Going for a universal battery for laptops allows it to work on different models, brand, and units. There are varieties of choices available in most computer shops and online stores. But do know what type of universal battery to buy for your laptop?

One issue with laptop batteries is the danger of explosion. It may rarely happen but it does happen and anyone could be at risk when using poor quality battery for their laptops. Take note that lithium ion laptop batteries, which are commonly used in the market could explode owing to its cobalt oxide content.

Consideration may be directed also by choosing a laptop that is smaller in size such as ultra portable or light weight laptops. They have smaller LCD and it uses less power. It has a hard drive that runs only about 4200 rpm which uses less power than those than run at 5400 rpm. This makes your laptop battery drain less quickly.

Universal batteries for laptop use are available in different types according to the size of your laptop. A friend bought a nickel metal laptop battery which is suitable for her small size notebook. I want to buy one myself however I was advised it is not suitable for my laptop which is 16 inches. The most suitable one is the ED369 battery which is best for laptops that are 13 inches or more in size and when one uses a lot of external devices that requires more battery power. This battery provides 2 to 3 hours of power supply in normal conditions. Simply plug it into the AC adapter of the laptop and it is ready to use.

When buying a battery for your laptop always consider the size of your computer and the average consumption of power. You can choose from variable output voltage. Voltage of 16 and 19 v DC are enough to supply most laptops.

A Few Tips To Boost Your Notebook Battery Performance

One of the biggest advantages of having a notebook is the ability to be mobile and with your important files and applications. You can do a lot of stuff with your notebook and carry it wherever you wanted to. Since your notebook runs on battery when there's no power outlet available its battery can only last over an hour or two. So here's an easy to follow tips that you can follow so that you can save energy and make your laptop battery last longer.

1. Disable unnecessary features: Windows Vista has got new cool features, but some of those features are unnecessary especially if you are just an ordinary user. Switching those application or special features when you don't need it or use it can help you save a small amount of power and will also make your notebook run faster.

2. PC hardware investment: If you have six cell-battery notebooks maybe its time for you to upgrade your notebook. There are many makers today that provides eight or even 12-cell battery upgrades which will surely give you more power. Just by investing on the right piece of PC hardware for your notebook can boost your notebook's power or energy.

3. RAM upgrade: Another good hardware investment is to upgrade your notebook RAM. Most notebooks can be upgraded today and you can ask your dealer for some assistance if you don't know how to upgrade it by yourself. When your notebook has low memory it will rely on virtual memory that uses the hard drive of your notebook. Once your notebook relies on virtual memory it becomes less power efficient. Although adding more RAM will consume more energy, it is still advisable to get more RAM especially when you often use memory intensive applications and software.

4. Disconnect peripheral devices when not in use: USB sticks, mouse and webcams are some USB devices that can drain your batteries life especially when you use it always. Disconnect these peripheral devices when you are not using it can help conserve your notebook's precious power.

5. Turn off Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi or Wireless Fidelity is one of the greatest battery power drainers. When you don't have any plan to go online you should disable it because it will constantly weaken your notebook's power even if you're not online. Turning your Wi-Fi off can save a lot of power that you can use for more important stuff.

6. Power setting modification: If you are running on Windows Vista you should take advantage of its outstanding power features. Tweak it according to your need and it can help you make your notebook more proficient not only in performance but also its life when you are on the move.

7. Set your screen on dim: One of the biggest power drainer components of your notebook is its screen because it needs large amount of battery power to maintain its clear and luminous display. By setting your screen a little dim alone can save you a lot of battery life. Set the brightness of your notebook screen to a low level just good enough to our eyes.

8. Clean your notebooks battery contacts: To make sure that the transfer of power from the batter to your notebook more efficient you should clean the battery's metal contacts every couple of months. Using a cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol will do the trick.

9. Set your notebook to Hibernate not standby – You can save more power when you set your notebook to hibernate compare to standby mode. In standby mode, you can instantly resume where you left off that means it still uses power while it is still on standby mode. Compare to hibernating your notebook which save your notebook's state as it is, and completely shut itself down.

10. Keep the temperature of your notebook down – We all know that notebook and desktop operates more efficiently when it's cooler. So it's best to use notebook coolers and clean out the air vents of your notebook by using cloth or keyboard cleaner.
