Laptop Battery Questions
- Why do I need a main laptop battery? Sometimes the problem might be with another component of your laptop that might be shortening your battery's usual life. But yet again, you might need a spare one for those boring long flights (I made use of 3 in a trip once).
- How long do I need to run your laptop without the AC power source? This will determine what kind of batteries to choose but also to keep in mind that you need to make provision for the charging time.
Additional battery tips
- There are two kinds of laptop batteries: Main: this power battery operates the computer as a whole / Clock Backup: that's self explanatory.
- Lifetime of a laptop batteries can be up to 700 charging cycles
- Do take advantage of guarantees. If something goes wrong, (politely) ask your retailer for a new one.
- New ones will take longer than usual to charge up at first. This is fairly normal so wait before you send a frantic email to your dealer :)
- Your power management features will benefit your laptop and battery. When the computer is passive make sure that less energy consumption is used.
- Keep them clean and far from magnetic elements and away from extremely high temperatures. Think twice before you leave your laptop in a car on a sunny day.
- The more applications you run, the more direct impact it will have on your laptop batteries. Do you really need to have 7 applications running all at once. I am actually speaking for myself here. That's why my battery never lasts an hour and a half :(
- It's a good idea to let your batteries go flat completely and the charge them fully. Also, please recycle. The more responsible people like you this earth's has the better off it will be for our future generations.
