How to stop laptop battery life from reducing?

Question

My old laptop lasts about 5 minutes when it isnt pugged in. I now have a new laptop and dont want the same thing to happen. Should i only charge the laptop when the battery depletes fully? It is a lithium ion battery and i should be able to charge it whenever without any worry.

Answer 1

Unfortunately that kind of degradation happens to all batteries eventually, but yes there are ways you can prolong the life.



For starters try not to expose the battery to any adverse temperatures - try to keep it at room temperature as often as possible. Never let the ambient temp around your battery drop less than 50 degrees Fahrenheit (sp?) and never let it heat up above 90.



You are right, you can charge the battery whenever you want and it shouldn't hurt things, however it is good for the battery if you do occasionally deplete it entirely and then charge it all the way back up entirely. Do it maybe once every other month.



Next, try not to stress the battery too much. Adjust the power settings on your computer so that the energy demand doesn't slam the battery.

Yo whenever you charge it, charge it to its fullest before you unplug it. DON'T charge it again after you've just charged it, for example if the charger gets ripped out and it's still hot don't put it back in right away, that KILLS the battery life massive man so don't that's like the number 1 common thing that kills battery life so wait a while till its cool again and don't try to rip out the cord when ur charging each charge should be full, that's the best way to sustain battery life, and keep the battery, so basically the whole laptop cool and not hot, heat reduces battery life so if it feels really hot put a fan near it or something y know

When no external power supply situation, if the working conditions at the time slot being less than PCMCIA cards, it is recommended to remove the card first to extend the battery life.

* Room temperature (20-30 degrees) for the battery of the most suitable working temperature, the temperature is too high or too low, the operating environment will reduce battery life.

* Can provide a stable power supply in an environment using a laptop computer, remove the battery to extend battery life by not correct. On the ASUS laptop, when the full battery charge, the battery charging circuit will automatically shut down, so the phenomenon of overcharging does not occur.

* To an average of three months to conduct a battery power correction action.

* Power Adapter (AC ADAPTER) using the international reference voltage that

Answer 4

I was informed a few months ago by my computer geeks that a person should let their battery run down completely about once a month so that the memory in it doesn't decrease. Somehow if it never gets used it doesn't think it needs much time. Not sure how it works but it does.

Answer 5

That, and try not to use your battery too often when you can afford to be plugged on to the mains.
