Laptop has been her charm as the general computer enthusiasts

Laptop has been her charm as the general computer enthusiasts

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist
of the Acer Laptop Battery   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

Laptop has been her charm as the general computer enthusiasts, especially young family seeking attention. Most new notebook computers in the million or more, because of the cost of non biggest names in hard to accept; and second-hand laptop relatively cheap, and its function in general can satisfy the need, so buy used laptop computer enthusiasts not unusual.

However, after all, second-hand laptop second-hand goods, is used by others, and its uneven performance, compared with the new notebook, the biggest difference is the built-in battery should be working time, a little better able to work 2-3 hours, poor or even one hour is not that, Imagine, such a battery, just in front of friends gestures some low-power warning appeared that many did not face ah! Although second-hand laptop computers also are equipped with AC power adapter, but if only relied, and what different desktop? Buy notebook computers will be lost meaning.

In order to play their second-hand mobile notebook advantages, we must make efforts in the battery such as Acer TravelMate 240 Battery, Acer BTP-52EW Battery, Acer BTP-63D1 Battery, Acer BTP-42C1 Battery, acer BTP-44A3 Battery, Acer BTP-550P Battery, Acer BTP-73E1 Battery, Acer BATCL50L Battery, Acer TravelMate 290 Battery, Acer TravelMate 4000 Battery, Acer TravelMate 2300 Battery, Acer Aspire 1680 Battery. Laptop battery has been a large "books" fans feel is a very mysterious thing, that it is very high technical content, does not. The following is a laptop battery's internal structure.

In which we can easily see, by the number of single batteries in series and parallel and form a battery pack, together with the battery protection circuit, constitutes a piece of notebook batteries. Whether you use a laptop what brand, and its built-in battery's internal structure are similar. According to the type of battery to the internal points, most can be divided into nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel metal hydride batteries, lithium batteries, lithium polymer batteries. The nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel metal hydride battery has a memory effect as the capacity of small and other shortcomings are gradually being weeded out, lithium ion batteries with large capacity, small size, light weight, low self-discharge advantages, such as notebook computer has become the mainstream of the battery set.

Used notebook computers as their production was so long ago, after several years through use, its battery's working time greatly reducing Er need Genghuan, Ge Zhong brand of notebook computer batteries shape Du Ge is different, not interchangeable, the appearance of order to Goumai Dao Xiang Tong, Xiang Tong models of second-hand laptop computer batteries be prohibitively difficult. How do? Of course, this too difficult to learn DIY spirit with fans! After using various means (such as software maintenance, charging and discharging several times the depth of activation, etc.), are invalid or effect

But our own hands, not the cost it takes more than 50 yuan! Worth a try.

Have a tag line said: "The biggest operation - completely changed", I tell you today is to become the scrapped on laptop battery brand new operation, the charge is not into power, the capacity to reduce the battery replaced. "Reborn", may at first sound seems to be scary, difficult-like, actually read the contents of the back you will understand, as long as the fans a little tinkering can have success, I believe you can do a back surgeon, to their own laptop computer batteries surgery.

much closer to reality than laptop battery times

much closer to reality than laptop battery times

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist
of the Apple Laptop Battery   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

They're off by maybe 10%, where battery claims may be off by 50%. The standard battery for my laptop is rated for 2.5 hrs. It lasted about 70 minutes when the battery was new and I was doing nothing but word processing.

As for EPA ratings, I have pretty conservative driving habits (brake and accelerate gradually, don't speed, shift early to avoid revving up to high RPMs, etc), and I almost always exceed the EPA rating for my vehicle. Now, it may be partly because I drive a 5-speed. Every automatic I have owned has performed at about 10% short of the EPA rating. Still, actual fuel economy depends a LOT on driving habits.

Has anyone ever actually bought a laptop where the battery length claims were anything close to what you actually got? I know I haven't. I tend to read online reviews from various testers to get a better sense of how long a battery can really last, but apparently some are so annoyed by the bogus claims from PC makers that they've filed a class action lawsuit. I'm all for things that would encourage computer makers to be more honest, though these sorts of class action lawsuits always seem a little silly. Are people really significantly "harmed" if the battery life doesn't live up to expectations? These cases usually seem more like opportunities for a few lawyers to get a bunch of money out of companies. The real issue should be that the FTC should have investigated the false claims from laptop makers.

"But what bothers me is that - to seem honest - they actually ship you this stuff configured the way they tested it, NOT the way most customers would prefer it. Have you ever bought a mobile phone, and while you're playing with your new phone, the screen goes dark every 10 seconds? First thing you have to configure is a reasonable backlight setting.

And for laptops, make sure you adjust the processor speed when on battery power such as Apple A1175 Battery, Apple A1185 Battery, Apple M9324 Battery, Apple M8403 Battery, Apple M7318 Battery, apple PowerBook G3 Battery, Apple PowerBook G4 Battery, Apple PowerBook G4 15 inch Battery, Apple A1012 Battery, Apple M8511 Battery, Apple M8244 Battery, Apple A1079 Battery. The default is a low-power processor speed, which is not the reason we buy powerful PCs!"

I dunno...the default settings aren't scaled back _enough_ for me. First thing I did was lower the screen brightness all the way (and wish it went lower) and change the energy saving setting from scaling both cores to 800MHz to scaling one core to 600MHz and shutting the other down entirely.

If you're the kind of person that wakes up half the passengers on a plane/train/bus with your ultra-bright laptop screen while playing WoW on your cell network card, then yea, you're gonna have poor battery life. Duh. But I've found that the manufacturers tend to do a pretty good job at estimating battery life with reasonable usage. People just aren't reasonable. They want it at full brightness even if they're in a pitch-black room.

Oh, and if you want power, don't buy a laptop! No matter what you get, it's primary purpose is to be _portable_, not _powerful_. I did not buy a powerful laptop because I always need that much power. It's nice sometimes, but usually I would be fine with this old 667MHz Celeron box I've got sitting here. Most of the time I'm not plugged in I'm either reading websites or writing websites. If it can run notepad and firefox, I'm good. I bought my laptop because it was portable. That's _the only_ reason I have a laptop.

Laptop Batteries : How To Make It Work Even Longer

Laptop Batteries : How To Make It Work Even Longer

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist
of the IBM Laptop Battery   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

There are certain things to note when you are using your notebook on batteries.

Especially when it comes to using notebook on batteries, I believe notebook users alike are having the same problem of fast battery consumption (myself included).

I've been tweaking around lately and I think I should write this post to share with those who might be having the same problem like me and most importantly how to overcome it.

There are 10 things to note for you to maximize your notebook battery usage.

1) Regular Defragmentation - Defragmentation is like arranging your files in order.

Example: When you go to a library, the book that you are searching for will be a bit faster if it is arranged from the A to Z alphabetical order and in their numbering code system. This way you will also save time and energy to search for the book.

The same principal also applies to the notebook. Regular the defragmentation process will result in less time and energy (battery usage) used by the notebook computer system. This will eventually lead to a longer battery life.

2) Lower Contrast - A dimmer screen means less battery usage used by the notebook LCD.

3) Use Programs Only When Necessary - We tend to use and open programs files which we sometimes may not need to access so frequently. Stop or exit running programs and applications like Messenger and Skype if you are not using them at that particular time. Most of the quick launch programs that appear that the bottom right hand of the screen are background running services which will use battery energy such as IBM ThinkPad T40 Battery, IBM ThinkPad T41 Battery, IBM ThinkPad T42 Battery, IBM ThinkPad T43 Battery, IBM ThinkPad R50 Battery, IBM ThinkPad R51 Battery, IBM ThinkPad R40 Battery, IBM ThinkPad R32 Battery, IBM ThinkPad R60 Battery, IBM ThinkPad T60 Battery. Multitasking of programs will eventually lead to a fast consumption of battery usage.

4) Minimize Usage Of External Devices - USB thumbdrives, portable hard disks and any notebook peripheral connected to the USB/1394/Firewire ports will take up battery power. Less usage of these devices means conservation of energy to your notebook's battery.

5) Put More Physical RAM - By increasing your RAM, you can save CPU usage and hence save your battery energy. Some might argue the fact with an increase of RAM this will lead to more battery energy being transferred to the RAM. Well in the other hand I believe with added RAM, applications will run faster and the Virtual Memory is normally utilized by the CPU will take less battery power and will prevent you getting symptoms like “system hanging” which also simply input to both the user's frustration and battery usage in energy.

6) Run From Hard Disks - Try creating a virtual drive from programs such as Nero, PowerISO or Alcohol 120%. By running these programs on a virtual platform, we minimized the usage of optical drives like the CD or DVD drive which take a lot of battery energy.

7) Battery Maintenance - Keep battery contacts clean on interval. Clean the contacts with rubbing alcohol after 2 to 3 months of usage. This will allow efficient battery energy to flow through the notebook. Remember also to use the notebook while on battery mode at least once every 2 to 3 weeks. This should refresh the batteries Li-Ion components from discharging effects. Keep them healthy by charging and discharging them to the fullest once in every 2 to 3 weeks.

8) Hibernation Mode - Hibernation mode is much more recommended than the Standby mode. Why? Hibernation will save your notebook settings from where you left off, and completely shut down the notebook thereafter. You can resume your work by just touching the “On/Off” power button.

9) Cooler Environment - We all know temperature is a major factor in PC computing especially when it comes to the notebook. With a cooler environment, cool air will make your notebook work more efficiently. That is why most internet cafes that are set up these days are air-conditioned.

10) Tweak Power Options - The Control Panel provides options for you to change the power settings. Via the Power Settings in the Control Panel, select the “Laptop battery mode” or “Low Power” to reduce energy usage.

If all of the above steps lead to a failure result, it's time for you to get a better notebook.

Why has my laptop battery life suddenly deteriorated

Why has my laptop battery life suddenly deteriorated

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist
of the Toshiba Laptop Battery   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

The maximum life was 1.5 hours and suddenly has dropped to a maximum capacity of 20 minutes? I have had the battery for about a year, do laptop batterys like that deteriorate with time?

Yes, the cells die over time. Unfortunately batteries aren't covered under extended warranty.

And if you do not plug your computer in while you are are on it almost every time, you could loose battery life. If you do plug your computer in almost every time, cells do die so you should strongly consider to buy a new battery such as Toshiba PA2487U Battery, Toshiba PA3107U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3383U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3384U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3285U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3191U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3166U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3331U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3098U-1BRS Battery.

There is a simple answer to your problem. The battery for the unit is likely damaged or simply over-used. You will have to purchase a new battery in order for the laptop to work without being constantly plugged in. Normally I would have suggested to check the Power Settings but 10 minutes seems too short even for the most non-energy efficient machines out there.

Even the maximum life of 1.5 hours seems a bit short. Anyway, the battery juice is probably worn out.

Here are some tips to conserve battery power in the future:

1. Once a battery is fully charged, you should not leave the charger plugged in.

2. Most chargers and batteries have a 500-time charge and discharge limit and then they start getting weak. So it is best not to keep on plugging the charger in and out.

3. It is best to charge the battery only when it reaches less than 40% of battery power. Charging the battery when it is half full will make the battery weaker.

4. Some also recommend the following: only charge the battery when the laptop is turned off or on standby. When you are able to use the charger, then use the charger without the battery in the laptop. If you can't use the charger, then use the battery.

5. If not using the battery for a long time, then store it in a cool place, i.e., the refrigerator, using a ziplock bag.

Misunderstanding of Laptops Batteries Maintainance

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist
of the Sony laptop battery   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

Misunderstanding: When the laptop battery is damaged, the cells can be changed by oneself.

If you are not familiar with the battery structures, the operation will cause severe damage and even death. It seems to have been expected by the manufacturers that many laptop batteries are designed with the blocking system. Once the cells are removed from the control circuit, it comes into the blocking state. The circuit doesn't work until a special means conducted.

Different from the dry batteries such as Sony PCGA-BP1N battery, Sony PCGA-BP2NX battery, Sony PCGA-BP2NY battery, Sony PCGA-BP2R battery, Sony PCGA-BP2S battery, Sony PCGA-BP2T battery, Sony PCGA-BP2V battery, Sony PCGA-BP4V battery, Sony PCGA-BP71 battery, the li-ion battery cells cannot be changed as one wishes, which will make the battery out of service. If you really want to change them, you'd better go for a professional company to repair. Otherwise, you'll be disappointed by the results.

Misunderstanding: Laptop battery should be activated once a month by deep discharging.

The cycle is good to the Ni-mh batteries while it is unnecessary to the li-ion ones. For the li-ion batteries, it is too often. Although the memory effect hasn't been eliminated completely, there's still a little exists. If the battery is used frequently, you'd better discharge it to about 10% to 15% while the capacity of less than 1% is harmful. Generally speaking, it is best to activate it every two months. If used rarely, only every three months is enough.

Misunderstanding: Laptop battery should be stored before fully charged or discharged.

As a matter of fact, neither of the points is correct. As to fully discharging, it will cause the battery cells lack of activity or even self-lock. Then the battery may be out of work. As to fully charging, it will also damage the battery while the most proper remaining is about 40%. Even the intelligent sony vaio laptop battery will be damaged when unused for long periods with a full capacity.

Furthermore, li-ion batteries are scared about dampness and high temperature. The batteries should be stored in a cool and dry condition. Too high or too low temperature will reduce the capacity rapidly while the proper temperature is approximately 70℉.

Test of Laptop Battery

Test of Laptop Battery

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist
of the dell laptop battery   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

If you use a laptop, as many people do, you undoubtedly rely on its battery to give you portability and power when working away from the desk. Even if you keep the laptop ac adapter plugged in the majority of the time, there are still those instances when you need to work wirelessly and use the battery power. If you've had your laptop for a long time (2 years or more on average), you may notice that your battery life is nothing like it was when the laptop was originally purchased. For example, users with a battery rated at 2.5 to 3 hours may feel lucky to squeeze an hour out of the battery while using the computer. If this is the case, you may need a new replacement battery for your laptop computer. However, there are instances when the battery is still in relatively good condition and the problem lies in the configuration of the notebook computer. In these instances, a change in the settings or the running programs on the computer may bring the battery life close to its full potential. If you feel your battery is not running as long as it should be, here is how you can test to see if the problem lies with the battery or the computer.

The first, and easiest, thing you can do is look at the battery indicator in your operating system. This is usually a small battery icon in the task or status bar and will indicate the charge percentage if you hover over or click it with your mouse. The first test is to see if this indicator, after the computer has been plugged in to the ac adapter for quite some time, shows a 100% charge. If it does not, you should unplug the ac adapter, allow the computer to completely discharge until it turns itself off, charge it for 6-8 hours, and check the indicator again. If it still does not show a 100% charge, the problem is probably with the battery itself and it may need to be replaced.

If you do get a 100% charge indication, but still feel you battery could perform better than it is currently, there is another test you should perform. Some batteries such as such as dell Inspiron E1705 battery, dell Inspiron 6000 battery, dell Latitude CPi battery, dell 1691P battery, dell 75UYF battery, dell 6Y270 battery, dell 1X793 battery, dell C1295 battery, dell Inspiron 6400 battery, dell Inspiron E1505 battery, dell Inspiron 1501 battery die quickly simply because they are put under a lot of strain by the computer. If the notebook is running many programs simultaneously or has many processes running in the background, the battery may die quickly from the load. However, it may be hard to determine this because background processes, by definition, are designed to run without the user being always aware that they are running. If you want to see if these processes are to blame for the diminished runtime, you can run the computer in safe mode. You can enter safe mode when starting your computer. Most models require the user to press the F5 key or the F8 key before the operating system logo appears. If this doesn't work, refer to your owner's manual or contact the manufacturer to learn the correct steps for entering safe mode. Safe mode disables all unnecessary processes and programs that are not essential for running the laptop. You should use the laptop in safe mode and see what kind of battery life you get. If it is a lot better, then your programs and processes may be to blame and you can then begin the process of narrowing down the suspects until you are able to kill of the battery-hungry culprits.

Notebook batteries that lose their runtime are not always at the point of no return. However, if they are, it is a good idea to find a laptop battery sale and purchase a replacement.
