Laptop battery maintenance, service technology

Laptop batterymaintenance is the most user issues of concern, perhaps the prevalence of mobile phone batteries to let people have a certain understanding, Oh…… but obviously not enough in-depth understanding of these, so much misunderstanding. First need to clear that the so-called lithium batteries no memory efficiency argument is absolutely wrong, lithium batteries and memory efficiency is not so strong nickel-metal hydride batteries only, with the charge for the use of lithium batteries is to a certain extent of the injury

The best course is to use once the battery will recharge its full shine, shine is the so-called completely shut down power management of energy-saving options used machine hardware or automatic shutdown of the alarm. The lithium batteries in laptop computers are charging and discharging control / protection circuitry, as long as these circuits are functioning properly, laptop battery recharging is not excessive, in order to reduce the batteries properly, laptop battery recharging is not excessive, in order to reduce the batteries discharge from the frequent charge, now laptop batteries The charge and discharge control / protection circuit will be in control of battery power consumption dropped to a certain extent when it started charging, rather than a decline in electricity consumption on the charge immediately, thus effectively reducing the number of frequent recharging, various brands of notebook computers have different control , Such as IBM’s is 95 percent of the models start charging, Compaq models are part of 92%, Toshiba models are part of 94%, but the same purpose.

Of course, than the control circuit is the better way to the battery had not (because the normal lithium batteries per day will automatically discharge 1 to 2 percent, the daily charge will automatically 1-2), but there will be a body Comparing holes ugly…… but for some ultra-light machine, the battery is part of it to balance the weight, remove the battery after the opening screen machines will be back inverted…… I also follow the fallen……

How to choose depends on your own, I personally do not want to because of a battery using a laptop computer and the impact of fun, so I will never win the battery, my method is to buy a piece of the same specifications of the old batteries, usually on the use of This one, the need to use the battery when the then state of good plug in the battery.

Various manufacturers generally have their own power management procedures were available, to make their own notebook computers to maintain performance at the same time get the most battery life, these power management procedures generally provide a lot of custom power management settings, and some also Provide battery calibration, can show the real power and battery charging and discharging number, Compaq, Toshiba, IBM and SONY power management procedures are among the best.IBM’s power management procedures can also automatically diagnose your battery status and use different colors, very advanced.

Even under the most standard approach to the use of battery life, battery or will the loss, it is because lithium batteries will be aging, just as our own even in the maintenance of good will, like the old……

For long-term use of the AC users, the proposed monthly release a complete battery charge, so you can keep the battery in the best condition, but do not do a thorough frequent charge and discharge operation, which will shorten the life of your battery.

Long-term use of laptop battery technology

how to avoid battery “aging”! Usually, due to internal resistance with the use of battery time and continue to grow larger, there will be a substantial voltage drop, the system voltage is not sufficient support, leading to acute shortage of electricity.The passage of time will form a vicious cycle, which has seriously affected laptop battery life.This is fortunate, and sometimes your laptop batteries will be in a very short time to failure, is very difficult! This is probably the result of the failure batteries, but in most cases took place on the lithium battery, in fact, books like household flashlight batteries, is a one composed of the batteries, as long as one of a failure, then Will lead the overall series, voltage blocked, on the whole scrapped!

Therefore, in charge when to use electricity, do not use electricity industry, as much voltage would affect the discharge of the curve! Start-up charge, will not choose fast mode (BIOS in the set), batteries, the way to constant current charging system load current small, can be avoided CPU, hard disk, LCD for power between the phenomenon. Discharge, let the CPU Jiangsu, hard to stop, transferred to the dark screen (or on a switch off), not to run any process until notebook computers automatically shut down, so as to achieve the purpose of small current discharge.In addition, if the market can be found on the “temperature protection,” then is the best! It can be achieved by regulating the overall balance is very good battery backup protection equipment.

The above-mentioned a lithium battery, battery at several books in the end it We have to look at the general laptop batteries into the battery of nickel chrome, nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium batteries three.Ni-Cr battery, the battery size, heavy weight, small capacity, short life, there are shortcomings, such as memory effect has been abandoned by the market. At present lithium and nickel-two for the mainstream market, including lithium with small size, light weight, high capacity, low memory effect, the advantages of short charging time, was widely used by manufacturers. Japan, South Korea, China produced laptop batteries, the price of single-China Taiwan Province to see the battery is relatively cheap, quality to Japan, South Korea is better!

IBM: laptop battery power-saving tips

How best to extend battery time is the use of many notebook computer users matter of great concern.Use of some small skills and in use to minimize unnecessary waste of battery you can make the fullest use, IBM Personal Computing Division engineers here to the majority of notebook users with a number of good suggestions, you can guarantee that the biggest Limit the extension of the use of laptop batteries, to enhance efficiency and enjoy a mobile office and entertainment without limit the fun.

    Reduce the brightness of the screen.At the same time, although IBM ThinkPad notebook computers equipped with a keypad light ThinkLight, but in order to energy saving, only the best in the dark under the conditions of access to care for her.

  •  Some users love open events are nothing CD or DVD play music, battery power with the music player will quietly flow away. We only want to propose in the enjoyment of music Add
  • Battery life process, as far as possible to complete the charging and discharging
  • To avoid very high or very low temperature use. For example, when you are sunbathing on the beach, the books Do not you stay in the car, Zheng Sangna.
  • For your ThinkPad using the correct AC adapter
  • IBM ThinkPad battery management software Battery MaxiMiser choose the most suitable for your power to extend the programme.
  • To monitor, hard drive and the system dormant for the standby time - because you do not let you work without the laptop still full load operation.
  • Intel SpeedStep technology role, in accordance with the current processor load, automatically adjust speed to avoid small Mara large carts, or the car of the Mara, the overall saving battery consumption.

In fact, the laptop battery is also a spiritual guy, after listening to the recommendations of experts, to protect him properly treat him, and he will also bring you to enjoy a better mobile.

Master teach you laptop battery calibration

many friends asked some questions about laptop battery. I have been saying that the actual laptop battery is only a necessary spare parts, we can protect as much as possible, no need to deliberate care, otherwise the day not to fast machines also keep a very - Why use the battery, you simply can only be used as bargaining chips in notebook transfer it. There is also a question we ask will be more, that is, whether there is any need to calibrate the battery, how to calibrate the battery

 Therefore regular battery calibration work is very necessary for one thing, such as the January-February time. Such as IBM and Compaq laptop computers on their own or in the BIOS power management process provides a battery calibration, the use of these two brands of friends as the prompts.For those who do not provide this feature brand users can I follow the following steps:
1. Screen will be set up to protect the “no”
2. Windows power management will use the power programme is set to “always open”, and closed below the menu all the related equipment is set to “never”
3. Alarm tab will be “electricity shortage warning” is set to 10 percent, operation is set to “not conduct any operation” will be “a serious power shortage alert,” set to three percent, operating as “standby”
4. Transferred to a maximum screen brightness
5. To confirm all the windows closed, and save all the data before
6. Confirmed batteries in more than 80 percent, to unplug the power and all external equipment, at this time if the screen brightness automatically reduces, then you hit it the most

OK, you can go to sleep, the discharge end of notebooks will automatically shut down after the power plug to recharge laptops, attention must be fully charged before, and so on, and then restored to power programme before the calibration settings.
