Laptop battery maintenance mode: What is the use of laptop battery maintenance taboo? HP Pavilion dm4t battery maintenance of the books in the end not to pull out, pull out the how to do if a power outage? Laptop battery maintenance is good if you can use up to how long? See below, it will know. Laptop battery a long time, it is often sufficient dissatisfaction, and even show damage, therefore attention must use some maintenance tips: Regardless of your notebook laptop batteries use lithium or nickel-metal hydride batteries, make may want to base after the exhaustion of the battery charge (capacity less than 5%), which is the best way to avoid the memory effect. In fact,the lithium-ion batteries also have a memory effect, but much smaller than the nickel-metal hydride battery nothing.But note that charging the battery, try to avoid too long, the general control within 12 hours.

Laptop  battery life  not by the length of the total use of time, but by the charge and discharge times to decide. This notebook is the importance of maintenance. If you always to the laptop without the battery installed to take down, even if the machine off and remove the AC power after the battery is not like the thought kept as fully charged state. Laptop battery because the battery in the integrated control circuit, so even when the power is also turned off the computer power. As one connected to AC power, the battery will start charging, when on or off, your laptop battery is repeatedly charged and discharged will affect battery life.

Therefore, when using the AC external power supply is best to unplug the battery, laptop battery for a long time in the heat or the state of their life affected. To maintain the battery for the long term do not, charge and discharge at least once a month to ensure that its activity. In the custody of the battery when there is a need for attention.Currently, the vast majority of laptop lithium-ion batteries used in a long time if not used, often prone to over-ischarge phenomena, may no longer be able to charge laptop batteries. In order to prevent over-discharge, charge state in half to save it in a cool dry place, and then every six months, then half of its electricity to the state of charge.

In addition, factors that affect battery life books also include the use of environmental temperature (below 30 ℃ recommended to use), battery storage and battery temperature shock suffered by size. Laptop battery will be used for some time after aging (how care is the same), specific performance is the internal resistance becomes large, in charge when both ends of the voltage rise faster, so it is easy to determine the charge control circuit has been filled with capacity is also naturally declined. The laptop battery calibration is an effective way to deal with aging batteries, there will be a small number of dedicated laptop battery calibration software. If your laptop does not discharge a dedicated software, then the battery can be maintained in accordance with the following steps:

● The screen saver is disabled;

● In the Windows Power Management power scheme set to “always open”;

● In the Alerts tab will be “insufficient power warning” is set to 10%, the operation is set to “no action”;

● will be “a serious power shortage alert,” set to 3%, operating as “wait”;

● the screen brightness set to maximum;

● Make sure all windows closed, and save all the data from previous work;

● Make sure the battery is charging more than 80%, unplug the power and all external devices.

After discharge the notebook will automatically shut down after the power plug for laptop charging, this process can be repeated 2 to 3 times the purpose of continuous low current discharge the battery, and this discharge state in our daily use, it is impossible to achieve , and the effect of the discharge with special software that basically the same.

Activate the battery

You are randomly assigned to high-energy lithium-ion HP Mini 2102 laptop battery , in the first use of lithium-ion battery, the battery may be only a few remnants of power, the battery power run out. Then please follow the method of operation, in order to activate the battery.First, continuous charging laptop battery for a long time. Tip: In the off state, charging time is greater than 5 hours; in the boot, charging time is greater than 8 hours. Note:
1, the charging process, please do not unplug the external power supply.
2, Please do not use any machine-specific batteries.Battery is fully charged, you can use. The first three use the battery to full charge and then finished using.
Moreover, the charging time can not charge less than the first time. To ensure maximum battery is activated, to ensure the effective use of battery time.The process is known to activate the battery. After three complete charge and discharge, the battery can be used normally.

Use Battery

When you do not use external power, the computer will automatically switch to battery power for the entire system.
The use of a fully charged battery for about 3 to 5 hours (Time is based on Battery Mark test program with a maximum test results). The specific use of time will change due to different factors, including LCD brightness, system power management features, applications, peripherals usage, battery cumulative use time and other factors. When used as part of or run out of battery power, you can access the laptop power adapter to charge the battery.
Battery state of charge through the front of the laptop’s battery indicator shows.
Tip: No matter whether the battery is installed in the computer, there will be the phenomenon of self-discharge (one day about 1%). If your computer has not been used, the battery self-discharge due to the long-term damage or even run out of electricity generated, which is the lithium-ion batteries due to the inherent characteristics, is a normal phenomenon. You should use an external power supply. If you still can not boot using the external power supply (charging indicator does not light), indicating that the battery has entered a state of self-protection, then in the off state, an external power supply Charging time (2-4 hours) to activate the battery, the battery can be normal charge, and then start to use. Tip: If your computer does not use a long time, we recommend that you unplug the battery, the battery is stored separately. Note: If the
battery will not be used, at least once a month for battery charging and discharging action, otherwise the battery may fail because of over-discharge.

Battery initialization

Laptop battery after prolonged use, you will gradually find the actual battery discharge time will be less time than many of the original discharge, which is the lithium-ion battery memory effect caused.You can initialize the battery to remove the memory effect. Initialization refers to the battery is fully charged, the power exhausted, and once again full of the process. Follow these steps to complete an initialization:1 Make sure the computer is off, then connect the external power supply charge.2 charged after boot. When the screen boot screen appears, press [F2] key until you enter the BIOS setup program, and allow the computer to stop in the area. Unplug the power adapter, let the computer continue to open until the battery is dead and shut down.3 Connect the power adapter to charge the battery.4 Use a fully charged battery will run out of power.5 steps above repeated 2-3 times, you can eliminate some memory effect, extending the battery life. Tip: Because lithium-ion battery has a limited life, when you can use an external power supply, use an external power supply, reduce the frequency of use the battery, can effectively extend battery life.
