When buying a mobile computer, you need to pay special attention to its battery. This is a very important element, the marriage of which can be determined even before buying a laptop.
Instructions
Step 1
After choosing a model of your mobile computer, ask to install a battery in it. Connect your laptop to AC power. Do not turn on this device. Wait until the battery indicator shows 100%. Color indication is sometimes used.
Step 2
Turn on the mobile computer and check the readings of the indicator located in the Windows system tray. If the figure does not rise above 98%, then it is better to refuse to purchase a laptop with this battery. Ask to either replace the battery or test a similar mobile computer model.
Step 3
If the indicator in the tray shows 99-100%, then open the control panel and go to the "Power" submenu located in the "System and Security" menu. Include a balanced meal plan. (This is the Windows Seven system).
Step 4
Start your audio player and disable the laptop screen auto-off. Disable hibernation and standby. Time it for the battery to be completely discharged. This should require 75-85% of the manufacturer's maximum operating time. If testing the laptop did not reveal serious shortcomings in the battery, then feel free to purchase this device.
Step 5
To preserve the battery as long as possible, it must be used correctly. Avoid connecting the battery in situations where a mains connection can be used. If you store the battery separately from the mobile computer for a long time, then pre-charge it to 50%. Never leave a fully discharged battery idle. This could damage the device.
Step 6
Avoid wet locations when storing the battery. It is better to use a refrigerator, after wrapping the battery in a plastic bag.
