Do You Know the Facts of Your Laptop Battery?

We all know that a laptop battery is what makes your laptop run, an array of electrochemical cells for electricity storage, or one such cell.Without it, you won’t be able to use your laptop unless it is plugged-in directly to a wall outlet.

These days, laptop batteries are made of lithium ion and have an average power of around 4 hours. Lithium-ion batteries (sometimes abbreviated Li-ion batteries) are a type of rechargeable battery in which a lithium ion moves between the anode and cathode. The lithium ion moves from the anode to the cathode during discharge and in reverse, from the cathode to the anode, when charging.

Lithium ion batteries are common in consumer electronics. They are one of the most popular types of battery for portable electronics, with one of the best energy-to-weight ratios, no memory effect, and a slow loss of charge when not in use. In addition to uses for consumer electronics, lithium-ion batteries are growing in popularity for defense, automotive, and aerospace applications due to their high energy density. However certain kinds of mistreatment may cause Li-ion batteries to explode.

To make the most out of your laptop battery, here are some tips on how to extend its life. What I did to extend the life of Dell Laptop Battery and my IBM Laptop Battery used on both of my laptops is that I made sure to use them efficiently.First, since we are limited to an average of 300 charges, when you do a recharge make sure to do it when your battery is nearly empty so as to do a complete charge. If you charge your battery when it is still half full then you are wasting the extra power in it while cutting back on its lifetime.

Second,try to minimize using your hardware. Examples of these are not to turn your LCD to its maximum brightness level and running only important programs when computing on battery. The more programs you open the more power your CPU would have to draw from the battery.

Next, try to cut back on some unimportant hardware usage. If you aren’t using your WiFi try to turn it off. If you want to listen to music from a disk, then create a backup of the record and store in your hard drive. So the next time you play your music, it will be directly from the hard drive and not from a CD or DVR ROM which cuts battery lifespan real quick.

Even after trying to squeeze extra life on your laptop battery, there will come a time when you really will have to replace it. If the original laptop battery isn’t available anymore then a replacement laptop battery is a good option. These batteries are easy to find, just search the internet for any online store that caters replacement batteries. Or I can also strongly suggest you to visit feevoo.com, find some original or replacement batteries.
