Laptop Battery

Nowadays almost all laptops and notebooks use rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries. To improve battery performance further though the following tips are given:

1. Fully charge new batteries before use: To ensure laptop batteries are in optimum condition for long-term usage it is important to fully charge the battery. The first 3 charge cycles of the laptop battery must also be done on fully discharged batteries, and charged to their full capacity.
2. Calibrate batteries every few months: Most laptop batteries are created with an internal microprocessor which provides an estimate of battery conditions such as number of charges, discharges, full charge capacity and cycle charge count. As well as saving laptop battery power, this will also take strain of eyes and cause less fatigue.
4. Use the laptop’s power management system: When using Microsoft Windows the “Power Options” power management application can be found in the Control Panel. From the Power Options Properties tab select the “Portable/Laptop” power scheme.
5. Close unused applications: Applications require energy to run and become a burden on the system. Closing unused applications will reduce that burden and also decrease energy consumption.
6. Remove unused PC Cards or USB Devices: Even when these devices are left idle they are using energy, so by removing them consumers will be surprised at how much extended battery time can be gained.
7. Reduce unnecessary optical drive activity: Avoid activities that require a laptops optical drive to operate constantly, e.g. listening to CDs
