The laptop battery is a tricky part. The fact is that if it is used improperly, it can quickly deplete its resource. This, in turn, will lead to the fact that your laptop will be able to work without recharging not 3-4 hours, as it was when you bought it, but only 30-50 minutes. To avoid this problem, you need to know how to properly handle your laptop battery and not waste it.
Instructions
Step 1
One of the most important things to consider when choosing the right laptop and battery is to check it when you buy it. Request that the laptop be unpacked in your presence. This will avoid purchasing goods from the storefront. But it is they who, most often, serve much less.
Step 2
Make sure all individual items - battery and mains charger - are packed in separate bags. Turn on the laptop and charge it until the indicator shows 99%.
Step 3
Due to the fact that lithium ions are used in laptop batteries, they have a "memory effect" similar to telephone batteries. To achieve maximum battery capacity, the battery must be fully charged and discharged three or four times.
Step 4
A laptop battery has a certain resource. In order not to waste it, it is recommended to use the battery as little as possible. Those. if you use your laptop often enough at home, it is better to remove the battery.
Step 5
Never remove a fully charged or discharged battery for an extended period. It is recommended to charge it at 50-60%. Wrap it in a tight plastic bag (you can use the one in which you bought it) and put it in a cool, dark place (you can even put it in the refrigerator, but not in the freezer).
Step 6
Please note that when using your laptop without a battery, it is best to plug it into a power outlet through a surge protector. Do not disconnect the battery from the laptop for an extended period. Plug it in and do a charge-discharge cycle about once a month.
Step 7
If possible, purchase a second battery at the same time you purchase a laptop. This will allow you to save both nerves and money in the future.
