As the laptop battery belonging to the “expensive consumables, it has sparked much controversy on the use of laptop.
With the growing popularity of laptops, notebooks on all aspects of the problems appeared in various media on the largest number of arguments for the proper use of Laptop batteries, notebook batteries of certain items that the use of personal experience, while others claim expert advice, all sorts of stories, the number argument.
The author is also a notebook users, although not an expert, but with several years experience in the use of notebooks, the author through a friend recruited dozens of students university using a laptop, so they talk about their experiences on the use of cell phones, coupled with 1:00 on his own experience, summed up what made accessible to everyone as a reference, hope to give each a little help.
Argument 1
Activating a new battery
Point 1: Before you buy a new battery inside, there will be more than 3% of electricity, more than the Dell Inspiron 1521 battery inside the power exhausted, to rest, and reuse of ‘burden of external power. The charging time must exceed 12 hours, three times in order to activate the laptop battery.
Point 2: No, the battery for 10 hours of rechargeable battery to activate the activity of the normal load, the method of release for activation.
Survey Results: The author investigated 24 students and college notebook users, 18 are the second view and the manner and do not charge the battery for future use can hurt of course, exclude damage to the natural elements. The author himself is also the case when the normal use of a new battery for up to two hours and a half, now two years, the state of the hp 367759-001 battery is still good, still can reach more than two hours, so I was satisfied.
The proposed method: I agree with the second hypothesis, based on information available indicates that the activation of cell work should be completed at the factory and a plant cell battery with a capacity of some natural wear to avoid damaging the battery. The activation of the battery must be in no case to protect the circuit can be with its own circuit of lithium-circuit protection, the purpose of this part of the circuit is to prevent the battery charge and excessive discharge usually filled after charging the battery when the indicator light off, the battery can be recharged in electricity, and then you plug the power plug to recharge the battery in the face of what? Available from the battery can be seen on the battery status of any charges, another teaches you offer a simple way to be able to determine whether there during the battery charging, battery charge, where the phenomenon has a fever, when the sony VGP-BPS5 battery is full after one hour (power plug does not fire), you’ll try the battery to see if the battery is still warm, not hot? The result is undoubtedly the cold, because the battery is not charging and discharging state is certainly not the heat. Manufacturers of portable computers in the factory will offer a new battery for more than 10 hours. This sentence may be generated for some users the wrong point of view first, the author of this opinion, should be taken into account that some notebook manufacturers a new user in the battery again when n is not fully capture the skills, just so they can charge directly for 10 hours, which should be the business opportunity.
Argument 2
Whether to disconnect the power supply external laptop battery?
View 1: Use an external power supply when the battery removed.
Item 2: Use an external power supply is not necessary to remove the battery.
Survey Results: Most students in the use of an external power source, the battery removed, only a few use an external power supply when the battery is placed above, the little marks are used by students of several global brands.
The proposed method: In fact, if the toshiba PA3191U-3BRS battery is removed, the conflict has focused on the use of an external power supply when the battery is in charge of question. We must know that the number of loading and unloading of the battery life is directly related to the lithium-General established the number of loading and unloading are fixed number of charge cycles only 400-600 times, especially products modified, but 800 times, once for each rechargeable batteries a step toward retirement. The first argument is simply because they are afraid to use power, the battery will be conducted on the above charge, not only to increase the number of charge cycles, but also cause an overload. The second view is that the battery is full power on the computer using an external power supply will not recharge. In fact, both views have their right side, but also in the wrong place. Because only the views expressed by individuals is not very full after my investigation, many laptop manufacturers taking into account the vulnerability of the stack, and the proceeds added to technology protection battery, and therefore different laptop batteries corresponding brand protection technology pricing is different, as some large companies are doing very well in this area, such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Toshiba, Compaq, etc.. One of the most thoughtful consideration is that IBM, the IBM laptop can detect the location of the discharge of the battery, laptop battery ThinkPad only less than 95% of the time will reload automatically. This can play a very good protective effect on the TravelMate 290 battery, held today and many other manufacturers followed. So, as drums, you do not have time to use pull down, because only when the capacity is less than 95% of the time, he is responsible. But even so, if you are prolonged use of computers, or will be removed from the battery to compare well, because the long duration of heat generated when the laptop battery will cause some damage. However, some other “little brand” batteries, may not benefit from such treatment because he was not within the protection technology of the battery. I like to use a certain brand of computers phones if the battery is fully charged to the above, when you use an external power supply has been confirmed at the first charge on electricity, because the storage battery, will wear, can not reach 100 %, while not 100% as long as the power supply connected to the load. Each access to an external power supply is equivalent to recharge the IBM ThinkPad X60 battery once, although only a small charge will be yet. It therefore proposes that we use when the machine according to their own situation, look at the manual laptop, choose whether you want to use an external power supply when the battery removed.
Argument 3
How to load correctly?
Point 1: The battery pack should always be all exhausted, so that consumption of portable computers to automatically stop and then reload it, all must be completed.
Item 2: The notebook batteries have a very deliberate use of time to pay attention and use when I wanted to pay extra.
Survey Results: Most students said that, needless to the view first, as used in automatic standby mode, then load, but also as the second point of view, it is free. Are generally used when the Dell 75UYF battery must be recharged when the computer has prompted further charge, of course, calls per hour may be set, the default is 3%.
The proposed method: In this paper the method proposed with the majority of students is the same. In fact, if the laptop to use lithium or nickel-hydride batteries, metal, these batteries have a memory effect, nickel-hydride batteries has a metal memory effect is very obvious, but there wills memory effect lithium, but his memory effect smaller than nickel-metal hydride Bale. There is no memory effect on lithium-that only exaggerated and irresponsible to do business in advertising, is totally misleading. Well, since the battery has a memory effect, it should be noted at the load point, as far as possible, then run out of charge, but you do not need to say deliberately use the laptop for stop automatically, so that although there is no harm in using them (because the laptop battery has a charge and discharge protection cons and automatic shutdown in general has not yet reached the standards of protection for the laptop battery discharge), but you do not feel tired? In fact, less than 3% of the burden in this way is very good, memories will certainly effect compared to natural wear, there should be nothing. The second count on the charge to view the author is totally disagree and we have already said, if the Laptop battery nickel metal hydride, lithium, which has a memory effect, if in this way, then the battery life will be shortened.
