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.

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.

The special I/O connectivity via USB disk

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist
of the 2GB USB Flash Drive   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

How the USB come out? The Universal Serial Bus is a cable bus that allows high-speed data exchange between a host computer and a variety of peripherals. Supporting both attachment and removal of peripherals while the host system is running, USB was designed to provide a convenient and universal interface for connecting peripherals to desktop computers, without the need to power down the computer. In this article Barbara provides an introduction to the USB standard, outlining the goals of the USB committee and describes the physical cabling and connectors, the physical and logical bus topologies, the types of data transfers, and the communication flow between the different layers of USB software.

The special I/O connectivity via USB, which is developed for use with desktop peripherals, USB is now commonly used for connecting I/O in industrial and OEM applications. USB is fast and, since the introduction of USB 2.0, can achieve a raw data rate of 480 Mbps. Many SBCs have external USB ports with standard USB Type A connectors and often include convenient internal header connectors with two or more USB ports. This makes aluminum usb disk devices such as CZ51 2GB USB Flash Drive, DT101G2 2GB USB Flash Drive, DTIG3 2GB USB Flash Drive, DT410 2GB USB Flash Drive, KMSD 2G USB Flash Drive, L8321 2GB USB Flash Drive, SFD122 2G USB Flash Drive, SSKMB 2G USB Flash Drive, SSKMI 2G USB Flash Drive easy to implement. However, the point-to-point nature of USB can limit the implementation options for I/O-intensive applications.

One solution for addressing this USB port limitation is to interface multiple modules from a single USB port with USB data acquisition products. Each I/O module can connect to the host with a locking, high-retention USB Type B connector that eliminates accidental disconnection. Modules can include an RS-485 Modbus RTU downstream port for connecting additional expansion modules. This allows up to 246 Modbus RTU I/O expansion modules to be daisy-chained together to achieve the required I/O count using a single USB host connection. Each module is assigned a unique Modbus address that can be set by hardware switch or via software. The host computer uses the standard Modbus protocol to communicate with these modules. Offerings such as Sealevel Systems' SeaI/O USB data acquisition products (Figure 1) can facilitate this process. A lot of problems you can solve easily.

Few Hints to Help While You Buy a Digital Camera

Few Hints to Help While You Buy a Digital Camera

Welcome to a Digital Camera Battery specialist
of the Canon Digital Camera Battery   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

Buying a digital camera is a breeze but buying a ‘good’ digital camera could be tricky, especially when there are thousands of models from different manufacturers around. Here are a few tips that might come handy while searching for a digital camera online.

Photography is an art that anybody, even people who lack the natural gift of clicking pictures, can learn. Who doesn’t love looking at a great picture? Be it at home doing daily chores, walking down the neighborhood street, an outdoor sports event, a trip to an exotic location etc., a well captured image redefines that moment to its viewers who behold it later. Apart from being a hobby for many across the globe – young and old, male and female, photography is a major profession chosen by a lot of people almost everywhere.

The output or result of a snapshot surely depends a lot on the skill of the one behind the camera. However, modern technology has come up with ways to enable anybody regardless of their lack of photography skills to take good pictures. The coming of digital cameras has by far simplified photography. It would not be far-fetched to say that with one of the excellent digital cameras in hand, even kids in the kindergarten can grab great pictures.

Having said that, here is an interesting point. With the wide availability of digital cameras, taking shots has become very easy, but finding a genuinely good digital camera with value for every penny is surprisingly hard today. One reason for this is the fact that there are too many choices available. It becomes hard to narrow down to just one camera when there are hundreds of them with something unique in each. While it is good to get one at discounted price allowing you to save, it is also crucial that you take a look under the hood, which goes without saying, before you pay for it.

While looking at the features and functions of a camera, it is important that you have a clear knowledge of the way you intend to use the camera. In other words, you need to be sure where and how you will be using the camera. This should narrow down the eligible models considerably. For example if you are a frequent traveler, an AA battery such as canon NB-1L battery, canon NB-2L battery, canon BP-511 battery, canon NB-5L battery, canon NB-4L battery, canon NB-5H battery, sony NP-F550 battery, sony NP-FR1 battery, sony NP-FM50 battery, sony NP-FM51 battery operated one is handier than the lithium-ion battery operated ones.

Resolution of the camera is the basic and naturally first feature people look into while buying a camera. No doubt a higher megapixels camera always has more chance of capturing better pictures, but that should not be the only factor that determines the camera. It is a good way to to start looking at it first but along with that a good camera needs to incorporate other features too.

An equally important feature is the zoom function. It can make a lot of difference while taking shots as the object of your target doesn’t always pose for the shutter at the same distance. If the object or person is too far away you will have to get closer physically to get a clearer shot. While doing so the target would have been already moved or the moment is already gone, but with more zooming ability, you can do away with the distance in seconds. Therefore, more the zooming ability, better the camera.

In addition, other automatic features like face & smile detection, image sensors, color modes, scene modes and many more that make grabbing images easy and and quick, delivering good outputs should be taken in to consideration. So, while you look for the cheapest digital camera that also grabs great images, know what you want and go to review sites and compare a lot.

Brief about Connections of a characteristic laptop battery

Brief about Connections of a characteristic laptop battery

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

A laptop battery pack includes a battery of cells, a casing or housing to protect and contain the cells, interconnect means for interconnecting the cells within the casing and conductors running from the interconnected cells to external terminations. The pack also includes a thermally sensitive circuit breaker which serves to disconnect the cells in the event of excessive cell temperatures. The battery pack may include a measuring-resistor strap having two projecting measuring contacts, which forms a portion of the conductors that couples the battery terminals and pack terminals.

A separate current-measuring circuit mounted in the housing provided in the battery pack is coupled to the projecting measuring contacts. A control module in the battery pack receives signals representative of cell voltage, temperature derived from a temperature sensor arranged in thermal contact with the cell and cell current derived by measuring the voltage across a sensing resistor with respect to the external negative voltage. A thermally sensitive circuit breaker provided in the battery pack is in thermal contact with the battery cells and is arranged to disconnect the cell current in case of excessive cell temperature. Usually the laptop battery consists of chemical cells and digital circuit. The success rate of the laptop battery depends on the battery type. Laptop batteries such as 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, Acer Aspire 1410 Battery, Acer TravelMate 4500 Battery can be repaired but the work is often time consuming.

A characteristic laptop battery connection consists of positive and negative battery terminals, thermistor, clock and data. The positive and negative battery terminals are located at the outer edges of the connector. The positive and negative battery terminals have elasticity of demand to connect the battery outer shell. A thermistor wire is provided at the outside to allow for temperature protection. The most common thermistors are 10 Kilo Ohm NTC or 10kOhm at 20°C or 68°F. It is always better to use the thermistor during charge and discharge to protect the battery against overheating. The inner contacts accommodate the clock and data. Clock and data are usually combined on a one-wire system. The permanent data contained in the battery is programmed into the battery at time of manufacture. The permanent data includes battery type, battery ID number, serial number, battery manufacturer and date of manufacture. The temporary data contained in the battery is acquired during use and consists of cycle count, user pattern and maintenance requirements.

The fix terminal included in some laptop battery is made of flexible material and is adjustable for angle of demand. The fix terminal is selected from the group consisting of 30 degree, 45 degree, 60 degree, 90 degree and 180 degree. Some laptop batteries may have a solid-state switch that is normally in the OFF position. The battery will turn ON when the switch terminal is connected to the ground. Some laptop battery even includes an end-of-battery-life switch which is used to stop the functioning of the battery at a preset capacity level.

The laptop battery is mostly made of two-wire system architecture. The two-wire system is usually configured to the System Management Bus (SMBus). The SMBus is based on a two-wire system using a standardized communications protocol. The SMBus battery has five or more battery connections. The connections of SMBus battery are commonly safe but testing this type of battery appears complicated. In future, intelligent rechargeable battery packs may include some control or monitoring means to provide charge current control during recharge, charge monitoring during discharge and charge, display of battery condition, and transmission of battery condition or other parameters to external equipment.

Tips to Prolong Laptops Battery Life

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

One on the greatest matters with laptop computer personal computers is battery life. actually have your laptop computer go dead, in the worst feasible moment? You are not alone. This is normally a typical occurrence with laptop batteries such as Acer BTP-43D1 Battery, Acer TravelMate 220 Battery, Acer BTP-58A1 Battery, acer BTP-60A1 Battery, 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, and of course, they fail us in the worst times. Also, there may be the price of battery replacement, which could operate high. But, all wish is not lost and there are several concrete actions which will prolong the existence of laptop computer batteries and ensure that it's prepared to go while you need.

1. make utilization of the A/C adapter by means of wall plug anytime possible. This numerous appear pretty obvious, even so numerous instances laptop computer consumers come to be so applied to cell computing, that even when at house they do not carry benefit of the near by plug.

2. Battery Charging: It is much better to cost your battery 100% after which use up all that juice and recharge it again.

3. plan Overload: operate only the applications you are making use of in the time of use. applications that operate within the qualifications use far more method means and drain laptop computer battery life.

4. laptop computer Temperature: ensure to study your laptops temperatures ranges and never allow it go past what is recommended. When your laptop computer is warm then turn it away and allow it awesome down. You may use cooling devices, like laptop computer cooling trays and pads which will ensure your laptop computer is awesome and never sucking additional battery juice.

5. Disable unnecessary applications from begin up: numerous applications that people do not even use, begin instantly on pc boot, just like microsof company workplace Suites. Even anti virus may be disabled for individuals who are not logging onto the web throughout that function session and do not have an available web connection.

6. program ahead: for individuals who are heading for being cell and have to use your laptop computer for electronic mail checking, term digesting as properly as other function projects then ensure you possess a total battery and do not drain it by hanging out online, or seeing a DVD. individuals actions will deplete your battery and leave you stranded while you definitely require your laptop.

7. function with peripherals while you can use a wall plug: projects just like uploading audio to iPods or any units that call for the use of the USB for instance that use many power. So it is perfect to carry out these tasks, while you can draw energy in the laptop ac adapter rather than making use of laptop computer battery juice.

8. Adjust display brightness: Adjust the display brightness as lower as up your eyes can carry and also you will see a large development in battery life.

9. De-fragment your tough disk: Your laptop computer will use much less means when pulling up information and as a result use much less power.

10. energy Saving Features: Stand by mode utilizes power. If your laptop computer has the hibernate feature, then use it. If not, turn it away anytime feasible or feasible.

Taking actions just like individuals above will safe far more battery existence and also a much better cell computing experience.

Laptop battery is its flexibility

Laptop battery is its flexibility

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

Laptop battery is its flexibility and stability of the fundamental, mainstream notebook standard rechargeable battery system. Rechargeable battery system includes rechargeable batteries and power management systems. The laptop battery is also embodied an important part of portability.

Batteries used in notebook computers are three main points: 1. Nickel-chromium batteries, 2. Ni-MH battery, 3. Lithium battery; they are generally expressed as: Nickel Cadmium Ni-Cd, Ni-MH Ni-MH, lithium Li.

Is the first laptop to use Ni-Cd nickel-cadmium batteries, as battery technology was not advanced enough, so a lot of nickel-cadmium batteries with the shortcomings of headache, such as: bulky, heavy weight, small capacity, short life, memory effects, etc.. So basically the current nickel-cadmium batteries have been eliminated, the following detailed description is not it.

Then began to use nickel-metal hydride notebook (NlMH) battery that has a good cost performance and higher power, while "nickel-hydrogen battery is one of the most environmentally friendly battery, pay attention to environmental protection are strongly promoting the use of state nickel-metal hydride battery, as it is easy recycling, and have the least damage to the environment. But NiMH batteries with lithium Xiangbi, or have some disadvantages. charging time is long, the weight of heavy, Rong Liang also smaller than the Li Dian, the battery lasts discharge time Taiduan, there is memory effect, its memory even without the nickel-cadmium batteries so much, but still need to discharge, the user must be exhausted after the charge.

Ni-MH battery lithium ion quickly (Li-ion) battery replacement. Lithium will have a long time ago and began its use is not safe, there is often in charge when burning, burst, and this may be because the lithium element too active reason. Then there is the improved lithium-ion batteries 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, lithium element added to inhibit the active ingredients, so that lithium truly achieve a safe, efficient, convenient, and also followed the old lithium eliminated. Distinction between them is simple, the label from the battery can be identified lithium as Li, lithium-ion battery Li-ion. Now, the notebook uses the so-called lithium, in fact, lithium-ion battery. Lithium-ion battery energy storage density, charge, and continued to discharge at any time a long time, usually about 3 hours. The size of the battery capacity from the marked mAh (milliamp hours) to determine the value, such as the 3000mAh, 4000mAh and so on greater value, the greater the capacity of the battery.

Of course there are defects in lithium-ion batteries, such as charge and discharge times of high prices and little more. Lithium battery charging and discharging of the number of only 400-600 times, specially modified products, but many times 800. Charge a per day basis, the best lithium batteries, but also more than two years. The NiMH rechargeable battery can reach 700 times more than some quality products to charge and discharge up to 1,200 times, such a comparison, Ni-MH battery live longer than lithium batteries, and NiMH batteries than the lithium battery prices much lower. Hence, there is no perfect laptop battery.

Most common brands of laptop batteries for the square. The market also has a small number of ultra-thin notebook using cylindrical batteries, such as SONY 505 series, Toshiba PROTEGE series. Battery weight varies according to materials and models, such as volume and shape of the same nickel metal hydride and lithium, but a difference of a lot of weight.

The size of the capacity marked mAh from the battery to determine its Chinese name is mAh. MA-hour size is directly related to the use of laptop time, but can not be generalized. Battery life notebook configurations with a great relationship, for example to speak, HP 6100 notebook with a PIII-M, MOBILITY RADEON graphics cards and many other energy saving technology hardware, with the 4000mAh battery, use the time up to 4 hours. Toshiba desktop CPU with 1800, although with a 4500mAh battery, use the time to 3 hours only. To meet the needs of the general going out to work. This also shows that the notebook is not only mAh battery related hardware, energy-saving technologies is very important.

It's Simple To do Laptop Battery Reconditioning

It's Simple To do Laptop Battery Reconditioning

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

It is common to a laptop computer battery to have a factory-preset on how many times it can be charged. Every time the laptop computer is being charged, it will continuously drain minute portions of its charged capability. It is recommended to have a your laptop battery reconditioned in the middle of its lifespan to gain additional charging power.

Follow the instructions below to have an effective laptop battery reconditioning.

1. Remove from the laptop computer the AC adapter, and let it run solely on battery power. Use the laptop computer and drain the battery completely until the laptop turns off by itself.

2. Let the laptop remain off in 10 to 15 minutes, and do not plug the AC adapter at this time.

3. Turn the laptop on using the power button. Do not try to connect to AC power yet. Let the laptop turn off by itself once more, making sure that the laptop battery is discharged fully.

4. With the battery still attached with the laptop, plug the laptop back to AC power. Charge the battery fully as indicated on the display. After that, charge it again for another thirty minutes.

5. By repeating the process for several times or possibly for days in which the laptop battery reconditioning will be fully attained.

6. It is advisable to download software for laptop battery monitoring application in order to oversee the charging, as well as the discharging cycle of the laptop battery such as Compaq EVO N620C Battery, Compaq Presario 1200 Battery, Compaq Presario 1800 Battery, Compaq Presario 700 Battery, Compaq Presario 900 Battery, Compaq Presario 1700 Battery, Compaq Armada E500 Battery, Compaq EVO N100 battery, Compaq Evo N1020V battery, Compaq Evo N1000C battery, Compaq Evo N115 battery. It will also keep tracking the laptop battery's overall performance.

Additional Information and Warnings:

. It is advisable to perform the battery reconditioning at night. This is to make the process continuous and free from interruptions.

. When the battery reconditioning has been attained, always discharge the battery fully every time before charging again. The reconditioning process should be repeated every 2 to 4 months.

. Keep the battery in a dry and cool place when it is not in use. Major laptop computer producers advise to keep the battery cool at about sixty degrees Fahrenheit in order to discourage discharging prematurely.

. Do not ever try placing the laptop battery in the freezer or refrigerator. It will damage the battery badly.

. Avoid dropping the laptop computer battery.

. Avoid exposing the battery under extreme temperatures.

. Never leave the laptop outside in cold weather.

. Do not leave the laptop inside a car that's parked on a hot day. The increase in temperature can cause premature discharge of the batteries.

. Always use power from electricity to keep the battery charged.

. Do not use the laptop computer for a long period of time.

. In some cases, laptops computer can be run using two batteries. When it is not possible, inquire with the producer of the laptop for the availability of battery with a high capacity. An external battery can be utilized for an extended period of laptop computer operations.

Taking care of laptop batteries is helpful and it will be ready in top condition every time it will be used.

Solid State Drives - SSD Facts You Should Know

Solid State Drives - SSD Facts You Should Know

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

If you're interested in the latest technology, then solid state drives have probably been on your radar for awhile now. Also, known as an SSD, these drives are being hyped as the next wave of greatness for laptops and for computers in general.

The big question, however, is do they deliver on all of these promises or, like so many grand advancements promoted in the past, just overhyped.

To answer those questions, we first need to learn a little bit more about these drives. Then we'll delve into how they stack up to their promises.

A Little Background

Basically, these drives aren't new but they made a huge splash in 2007 at the Consumer Electronic Show held in Las Vegas. They were heralded as the solution to many problems facing those of us who love portable computing.

Basically these devices are types of hard drives which do not rely on magnetic media for their memory storage. Instead, they use semiconductors much like flash memory drives already do. In fact, both of these storage devices use similar non-volatile memory chips.

However, the main difference between the two is that the solid state drive is not used as an external memory storage system like flash drives. They are built to be installed internally in place of a traditional hard drive.

If you're wondering why using SSD's would be a good idea, there are several advantages being promoted by industry insiders. This is where most of the promises come into the picture.

Basically, these drives are considered great inventions because they are believed to deliver three amazing benefits: reduced power usage, faster access to memory, and improved reliability. All of these benefits are a result of the differences in the way solid state drives and traditional hard drives work.

Most of us have at least a basic understanding of how our hard drives work. Inside them are spinning magnetic platters where everything we do on our computers is saved.

To work though, they rely on drive motors to move them. If anything happens to those motors or to the drive heads, then our hard drive ceases to function correctly and we'll end up shopping for a new laptop or desktop.

These alternative drives don't have all of those extra parts. Everything is done through Flash memory chips and most of us know that the portable Flash memory we use in our cameras and other storage devices does a pretty good job of saving quickly and of working when we need it to.

As you can imagine, having a drive that uses less power, is less vulnerable to damage, and is able to retrieve data faster would be a dream for most laptop owners. That's why it's important to look at whether or not these drives really deliver on these promises.

Do Solid State Drives Deliver?

Many laptop manufacturers have already released products contains solid state drives so there are some on the market which allow us to get an idea of how they are stacking up to these promises. First, we can look at the promise of quick data access.

Unfortunately, there have been some problems with customer satisfaction in this area because of the hype. People are promised the moon and are disappointed when the drive can't live up to their elevated expectations.

Evidence has shown that these drives do wonderful when you're reading average size files. You'll be able to access them quickly. However, if you're working with large files or trying to save large files, you won't see those fast speeds.

Now remember these drives are still in their infancy in terms of this type of use so that doesn't mean these problems won't be corrected down the line.

Another huge promise is improved battery ( such as Compaq Armada M700 Battery, Compaq EVO N400c Battery, Compaq EVO N410c Battery, Compaq EVO N600C Battery, Compaq EVO N610C Battery, Compaq EVO N620C Battery, Compaq Presario 1200 Battery, Compaq Presario 1800 Battery, Compaq Presario 700 Battery, Compaq Presario 900 Battery ) life for laptops because of the reduced power requirements. For one, this promise could never really deliver because the hard drive isn't what uses up most of your laptop's battery in the first place.

The screen, the RAM, and your CPU are doing most of that for you. Generally, you're only talking about a 5% improvement in battery life and that's not much of a bargain considering how much these drives add to the price of a laptop.

Finally, we can look at reliability. Since the drives haven't been available that long, we really need more time to evaluate this claim. However, we do know that unlike traditional hard drives which can be written on indefinitely. Solid state drives can only a certain number of times depending on the technology used.

This is still sufficient for most needs but given the costs , and whilst these writes will

Only time will tell if these problems can be rectified so that solid state drives can truly live up to everything they are promised to be.

1. If the battery is not being charged for a long time, or simply not been access ThinkPad, will lead the next charge time extended

2. Please use the correct ThinkPad power adapter. Use does not match the power adapter will charge the battery can not be filled to capacity, and will display the battery information is wrong (Appendix 1)

3. Monthly re your battery - that is, your battery is under 3%, this will increase your battery capacity FUJITSU Laptop Battery(Annex 2)

4. If you mainly use the AC power supply, only the occasional use of the battery, you can change the battery charge threshold, to increase your battery life (with 3)

5. When your computer for high-intensity operations, the battery and the temperature of the system are likely to rise. In this case, there may automatically stop charging the battery to ensure the performance and battery life are not lost. Once the battery to stop charging, the battery will only be reduced to the specified temperature after re-charging, but not immediately after you plug in the AC power supply charge (and, charging time may be extended)

6. Do not use the ThinkPad in the high temperature or battery. For example, the hot weather of the car

7. In the cold environment, the battery's performance will be temporarily reduced

8. When the long-term separation of the battery and the ThinkPad save the battery power reduced to 50%

1. Read laser anti-counterfeit mark. Leave the battery also has laser security signs, but generally not as good as the original electrical work. The original laser power strong security dimension. The second half is hands mark the intersection of design; upper part is a three-dimensional "tilted ellipse" is the top elliptical oval Nokia logo. Elliptical cylinder of the left, right, down, up, respectively, one, two, three, four black spots. The edge of the logo, take a closer look will find that written all in English "NOKIA orIGIANAL ENHANCEMENT".

2. Look at the top of the black part of the battery such as IBM ThinkPad R60 Battery, IBM ThinkPad T60 Battery, IBM 40Y6797 Battery, IBM 40Y6799 Battery, IBM FRU 92P1139 Battery, IBM FRU 92P1141 Battery, IBM FRU 92P1137 Battery, IBM 02K6651 Battery, IBM 02K6928 Battery, IBM 02K6620 Battery, IBM 02K7039 Battery. Because there are not any low-temperature injection molding technology, the Black part of the general use fake plastic material. The genuine should be similar to the rubber material. Some post said it feel more smooth, but I think it feel a bit shy and soft, anyway, and plastic is completely different feeling, you go to Nokia stores to see after the original call to know what flew like that.

There is about "positioning pin hole" in the Black part of the side, the injection will be left with holes, some posts that do not leave power. But I students battery, Suning bought the last 2 years, and the IMEI from the use of query terms, are true, but did not locate the pinhole. Individuals that may be the last of the original power is not the hole (the exact say in the side, the top has a round hole), so there is no imitation of power. Now the new battery has a pinhole, it is estimated false battery should have.

3. Cell shape, paper and printing. In general the more refined the original electrical work, and shoddy imitation of electrical power for more than catch up. Font wrong lines thick, paper wrong color and so on. But only for shoddy imitation of electricity, electricity is a lot of imitation, or a good process, difficult to distinguish between true and false. So work fine, but the necessary conditions for non-sufficient condition.

4. If possible, look at the battery serial number. The right side of the security signs, with black coating, scratch (some businesses have been scratched, and some businesses have been affixed with a label, no warranty after the scratch label), that string of No. 20, landing Web http://www.itsbattery.com, you can check the authenticity of the prompts. Note that in the database are finding out, and in the list did not choose the battery type BL-5CA (only BL-5C). Now most of BL-5CA machine, so this method is limited.

1, the label traps

From the color point of view, laser tag is really more a little gold in green, while the fake is the gold-based, other "NOKIA" out of encirclement, really just a circle surrounded by a very compact, are more false Great.

Please look carefully under the plan it really battery "NOKIA" tag surrounding the circle closer to the edge of the label, while the fake is closer to the middle;

Look at the effect of the label it, is really more wide viewing angle label, the label dimension is very strong, while the fake is more like a flat "paper", there is no dimension at all.

Of course, this is only one judge from the naked eye on the way comrades bad eyesight can use the following this method, but only in conditions permitting, is through the laser tag coating the following verification code, go online to certification.

when Your Notebook Is Performing Slower

when Your Notebook Is Performing Slower

Is your laptop not performing as it should? Do you find that you might be needing to keep it connected more often than not? Will it not charge all the way? If this describes you, then you're in need of a replacement laptop electric battery.

There are plenty of explanations why your laptop may need a replacement laptop battery. In some cases, battery is simply too old and needs to be changed. Other times it may be as you never fully charged your laptop battery. This is a very common problem among those who will not shut their laptops lower all the way once and awhile and charge their batteries manually. Furthermore, those who frequently leave your laptops on the whole night instead of leaving all of them in sleep mode could find that this wears lower their batteries significantly.

Sadly, another big contributor in the direction of needing a replacement laptop computer battery is poor storage space. This is why you shouldn't, ever store your laptop in places such as lockers, cars, storage garages, or even warehouses. Even one evening in these unstable places will result in your laptop overheating or getting too cold, which can accident havoc on your battery power as well as the remaining machine. Additionally, avoid resting your laptop on soft surfaces such as a couch or pillow, as this blocks the cooling vent that keeps your laptop coming from overheating.

How can you locate a replacement laptop IBM Laptop Battery such as IBM 02K7016 battery, IBM ThinkPad G40 battery, IBM 08K8026 battery, IBM ThinkPad T21 battery, IBM ThinkPad T20 battery, IBM ThinkPad X61 battery, IBM ThinkPad T61 battery, IBM ThinkPad X41 battery, IBM ThinkPad X40 battery, IBM ThinkPad X20 battery, IBM ThinkPad R60 Battery, IBM ThinkPad T60 Battery? It is not as difficult as it appears. Begin by learning your laptop's serial number, plus the make and model of the battery. If you've kept your papers, this should be simple. You can also find the numbers manually by discovering where they're located on your laptop. If you're having problems finding these numbers, twenty-four hours a day contact your manufacturer. They'll know where to look. If you still aren't able to find them, they can provide other ways to learn which batteries are compatible with your own laptop.

Once your search may be narrowed down this way, you'll find that picking out a replacement laptop battery isn't as difficult as it seems. Your allowance and personal preferences would be the only factors you'll need to worry about. Ideally, you should choose one that lasts the particular longest. An ideal one lasts up to three to four hours, though there are some that last for even more time.

A quality replacement notebook battery should be one which lets you use your laptop to its fullest without worrying about whether or not your laptop will randomly turn off due to low energy. After all, the whole place of a laptop is to be able to function or play in your favored coffee shops, libraries, along with other workspaces. By investing in a top quality replacement laptop battery, you are also doing your part to ensure your laptop will last a person for years to come. Find out more today!

Laptop Batteries, Some Important Things Every Laptop User Should Know

Laptop Batteries, Some Important Things Every Laptop User Should Know

While buying laptop, you should also consider the battery. Laptop batteries are of various types and they differ depending on the laptop model and make. Depending on the type of the battery, the life of a battery varies. For instance, a nickel metal hydride battery offers less back up than a lithium ion battery. The temperature inside the laptop also plays a very crucial role in the performance of a battery. If the temperature in the laptop reaches the 45°C mark, the battery loses half of its power. This happens due to cell oxidation. Lithium Ion, popularly known as LiON is the most popular type of battery in the recent times. This is lighter but has more battery cycles.

Wondering what is battery cycle? Every time a battery is charged or discharged is considered as battery cycle. Thinking how long your laptop battery last? Well, this entirely depends on your usage, and the way in which you maintain your battery such as IBM ThinkPad R40 Battery, IBM ThinkPad R32 Battery, IBM 02K6928 Battery, IBM 02K7054 Battery, IBM ThinkPad A20 Battery, IBM ThinkPad A20M Battery, IBM ThinkPad A21M Battery, IBM ThinkPad 240 battery, IBM ThinkPad 240Z battery, IBM ThinkPad A30 battery, IBM ThinkPad A31 battery, IBM ThinkPad 600 battery. Typically, the lifetimes of a battery ranges from 500 to 1200 cycles. Another important factor is battery run-time. It depends on a number of factors. Mostly, this is dependent on the design of the laptop and the power consumption. If your laptop has a large screen, and if you are using external hard drive and other accessories, this will significantly reduce the run-time.

Do you know laptop batteries are classified into two types? You will find some laptop batteries equipped with internal microprocessor circuits. The circuit helps manage battery energy as well as set the charger to the correct charge algorithm and predict running time. These batteries are known as Smart batteries. On the other hand, batteries that only provide power only and don’t have any extra feature are called dumb batteries. For laptop repair, get in touch with a remote computer support provider.

Now the question is how to optimize your laptop batteries. There are some very simple things that you can do to optimize your laptop battery. Charge the laptop battery fully before using it. You should clean the metal connecters occasionally to maintain good conductivity. You should never leave your laptop on overnight all the time while charging. If you are going for a long vacation and not taking your laptop with you take the battery out and store it in a cool, dry, clean place.

For more battery life, turn down the brightness of the LCD screen. If you would like to watch a movie from DVD, first copy it on your laptop. DVD drives consumes a lot of power. After copying, remove the DVD from your laptop and play the movie from the laptop. By doing this, you can stop constant use of the DVD drive which eventually result longer battery life.

If your laptop is performing sluggishly or if it is having any issues, consult a PC repair company. There are many remote computer support providers that provide troubleshooting support to the PC users.

Laptop does not start. Fixing the problem

Laptop does not start. Fixing the problem

If your laptop does not start at all or it starts but will not boot properly, it's possible that you can fix the laptop at home without taking it to a repair center. Here are some troubleshooting tips for you. I'm not sure if I can cover all situation at once, so I will update this post as more examples come into my mind.

Situation 1.

The laptop appears to be dead. You plug the AC adapter but the LEDs (power light, hard drive light, battery charge light, etc¡­) do not light up and the laptop will not react at all if you press on the power button.

First of all in this situation check the AC adapter. You can test the output voltage with a voltmeter. If you cannot do that, find a known good AC adapter and use it for testing the laptop. It is possible the laptop appears to be dead because the AC adapter is bad (and the battery is discharged). If you know that the AC adapter is working properly and it outputs correct voltage but the laptop is still dead, most likely you have a power issue on the motherboard (or power board on some laptops) and it has to be replaced.

If you have to replace the AC adapter, make sure you use a correct one. The output voltage must be exactly the same as on the original adapter. The output amperage has to be the same as on the original adapter or higher, but not lower.

Situation 2.

When you plug the AC adapter the power LED and the battery charge LED light up. When you press on the power button the laptop powers up but will not start. There is no video on LCD or external monitor.

If the power LED lights up it indicates that the laptop is getting power from the AC adapter. Most likely there is nothing wrong with the adapter but just in case test it with a voltmeter to make sure the output voltage is correct.

Also try this. Unplug the AC adapter, remove the battery such as IBM 92P1102 Battery, IBM 92P1077 Battery, IBM 92P1073 Battery, IBM 08K8199 Battery, IBM 08K8198 Battery, IBM 08K8197 Battery, IBM 92P1075 Battery, IBM ThinkPad R40 Battery, IBM ThinkPad R32 Battery and wait for 1-2 minutes. After that plug the AC adapter ans try starting the laptop again. Sometimes this trick helps.

It also could be a memory related problem. Try reseating the memory module, just remove it from the slot on the motherboard and install it back. Try installing the memory module into the other slot (if it's available). If you have two memory modules installed, try removing them one by one and start the laptop just with one memory module installed.

If the laptop starts fine with one memory module in both slots, but will not start with the second memory module in both slots, the second memory module is faulty. Replace the module.

If the laptop starts fine with both memory modules when they are installed in the slot A, but will not start with both memory modules installed in the slot B, the slot B is faulty and you will have to replace the motherboard or use only one memory slot.

Situation 3.

When you press on the power button, the laptop makes a series or short and long beeps and will not start up. There is no video on the screen.

In this situation test the memory module as I described in the situation2. Try installing a known good memory module. Most likely you are getting a beep error because of a faulty memory.

Situation 4.

You start the laptop. It sounds like the laptop is booting normally (hard drive LED is flashing) but there is no video on the screen

In this situation test the laptop with an external monitor. If the external screen works fine but there is no video on the laptop LCD, most likely there is a problem inside the laptop display assembly. Go to my previous post witch covers laptop video problems in more details.

Situation 5.

You start the laptop and it starts making repetitive clicking noise or grinding noise.

Most likely you hear this noise because of a faulty hard drive. You can remove the hard drive and start the laptop without it. If the noise is gone, the hard drive is your problem. Replace it.

If the laptop makes clicking or grinding noises and you still have video on the screen, you can run a hard drive test utility. I usually use Hitachi's drive fitness test. This test is reliable and easy to use.

Situation 6.

The laptop boots into Windows ans works for a while, but after that it shuts down by itself without any reason or warning. You restart the laptop but the same problem appears again

Most likely it's a heat related issue. Listen for the cooling fan, make sure it works.

Also this problem might appear because of a faulty memory module, try some tips from the situation 2.

The laptop still boots ans you still can see the screen, so you can run the memory test. I usually use Memtest86+. Run the memory test and if it fails, replace the faulty module.

Situation 6

The laptop starts normally but video on the screen has lines, some strange characters or other defects

It could indicate a problem with the laptop LCD screen, video cable, graphics card or motherboard. Here's my previous post witch covers troubleshooting bad images on the screen in more details.
