How to maintain laptop battery HP

What you'll need

Bought a new battery should first conduct a three complete charge and discharge, in order to activate the chemicals inside the battery, so that the battery into the best condition. Usually do not frequently opened and closed notebook computer, otherwise it will consume a large amount of battery power. If it is a short time without a computer, you can put it in sleep or suspend state. http://www.toplaptopbatteries.com/asus/a32-f3.htm The use of Windows, the power management features, the battery energy consumption can be reduced to a minimum. Can also be to download a power management software used to power management books recommended the use of Power Center Le It is a completely free service for notebook computer power management software!

1, the battery charge For ease of use and efficiency, notebook battery charge is generally used when the quick charge mode, a charging time of 1.5 to 3 hours. Ni-MH battery generally means constant current charging, and use temperature control method (that is, a certain time interval to check the battery's temperature rise), or-��V method (Ni-MH battery charging capacity reached 100% until the battery voltage is slowly increased but at 100% charge capacity, due to the battery cell voltage Er Shi self-heating reduction, resulting in drop-��V) measured results as a basis for controlling whether to terminate charge, coupled with the control functions of TCO (in temperature basis for charging cut off, cut off temperature of 60 ���), to ensure safety of Ni-MH battery charging. Chemical properties of lithium-ion battery charging when it is determined, first by way of constant current charging, constant-current charge to 4.2V (for a single or a few energy-saving energy-saving core when the core voltage in parallel) into the constant voltage charging, when the Constant charge current reduced to around 100mA, the charging stops.

Although many laptop battery using an intelligent battery system technology that can accurately measure the battery charge status and life, http://www.toplaptopbatteries.com/asus/a42-a3.htm allows users to worry when using many, but the battery is charging when we still have to note the following:

1. Battery charging should be at an ambient temperature of 0 ��� ~ ��� temperature scale. Charging process, the ambient temperature will affect the battery charging efficiency and service life, so in conditions permit, the lithium-ion battery preferably 10 ��� ~ ��� temperature range of charging the battery, in order to achieve the best charging efficiency . Ni-MH battery is the use of temperature control method or the-��V method to detect whether the battery is full, the experiments show that: Charging higher ambient temperature, the more difficult to determine whether the battery is full. Therefore, when Ni-MH battery charging an ideal environment for temperature between 10 ��� ~ ���.v

2. If the AC power adapter, laptop power is not large, the battery charging, if conditions permit should make the machine is turned off, or standby mode without any operation. Because the notebook computer power adapter can provide power is certain, the system load large (such as when using the CD-ROM or hard disk drive access, etc.) assigned to charge the battery when the power on small,http://www.toplaptopbatteries.com/asus/m6000.htm the charge current also decreased, the current AC power adapter from the power margin decision. If this current is less than the requirements of the battery charge current, then the long run will affect the battery service life. Some notebook computers to request the description of the notebook computer battery will not operate when the truth is this. We can power adapter and notebook computers rated voltage and current to calculate the power adapter power margin to determine the need for charging the battery shutdown. A simpler way is to: To compare the shutdown and no shutdown both cases used for battery charging time, and if a difference of more, it shows the laptop's battery while charging off the best.

3. Sure to use your laptop matched the power adapter. Improper power adapter may cause the battery can not be filled with electricity, or make the battery meter does not correctly display the battery power.
