Madrid on September 26, according to Xinhua news agency EFE, the Spanish used battery recycling laws come into effect from 26, the merchants sell to their customers in a variety of  laptop battery  at the same time, it should be used for free recycling of used batteries.

Spain is a waste battery recycling laws in the country to promote the development of the environmental protection department, in February this year, approved by the Government to promote the recycling of used batteries and dispose of properly. Act sets the minimum recycling of used batteries: in 2011 the recovery rate of 25% in 2015 to 45%, covering the recovery of dry batteries, Compaq battery , batteries for industrial use such as used batteries.

Act provides that the IBM battery manufacturers, vendors have to bear the recycling of used batteries responsibility, an obligation to consumers will be submitted to the recycling of used batteries point. Battery manufacturers through the establishment of recycling, public finance to pay handling fees involved in the recycling of used batteries. In addition, the Act also prohibits the sale of businesses or mercury cadmium content of the standard battery, and that departments concerned should adopt the most advanced technology for recycling of used batteries for dealing with environmental protection.

The  Evo N600C battery  used in its focus against mainly contained a small amount of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and so on. After a long battery wear and corrosion, internal, such as heavy metals and acid-base will leak out into the soil or water, and then through a variety of ways to enter the human food chain. Into the human body, these toxic substances difficult to rule out long-term savings would damage the nervous system, blood and bone function, or even carcinogenic.

It is reported that the annual consumption of about Spain 400,000,000 battery, battery waste recovery rate of only 18%.

Beijing on September 26, according to foreign media reports, though Apple has not notified consumers in a timely manner of its iPhone battery life is limited, this does not replace the batteries at a cost of 86 U.S. dollars, but will not face prosecution.

U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Kenna Li (Matthew F. Kennelly) on Sept. 23, Apple agreed to the request, in accordance with the relevant evidence and the law, the implementation of the so-called “easy decision” procedure, the trial that is rejected Related litigation. Kenna Li said: “Apple iPhone in the outer state, and its batteries have ‘a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced by Apple PowerBook G3 battery service provider’. In this case, no rational jury will determine Apple Fraud. ”

iPhone users Jose Trujillo he  2007 years 7 months Apple to court, saying guilty of consumer fraud crimes, seek class-action suit against Apple’s launch, Apple will be followed by the transfer of the federal court handling the case. Telujiluo lawyer James R. Rowe have not yet Kenna Li’s decision to comment.

Although Apple has been out of this litigation, but AT & T is still the defendant in this case. Kenna Li on September 22 rejected the AT & T services under the agreement calls for mandatory arbitration and litigation rejected the application, saying the purchase Telujiluo iPhone, he “has not been mentioned in description or terms of service agreement (in particular the provisions of the Arbitration ), A copy of any document. ” Kenna Li is scheduled for Sept. 29 to convene a hearing.

AT & T spokesman Walt Sharp (Walt Sharp) and Apple spokesman Zhannifubo Hancock (Jennifer Bowcock) has not yet made the remarks.

Most of today’s conventional camera in the field has been replaced by digital cameras, traditional film is also stylish and electronic components ccd replaced. Followed by large dc power into the use of the new issues, the current dc laptop battery solutions 2: special lithium batteries and nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries. Lithium-specific power, light weight, high capacity, environmentally friendly and there is no “memory effect”, but very expensive generic poor, and a lot of fakes. Ni-MH battery has a high capacity, the depth of discharge, have been resistant to excessive discharge and charge, charge a short time, and so obvious advantages, the most important thing is nickel-metal hydride batteries are cheap, very versatile.
Intelligent control technology to protect the product
General battery in the statement, there will be a matter of the use of attention, and some companies even printed a separate battery charger and the use of guidelines. Note that these are some of the most basic but very necessary for the maintenance of way, such as rechargeable batteries should choose the way of charging time, and so on. Unfortunately, quite a number of these that are often ignored and shelved.
In order to fully take care of us, “careless” of users, a number of manufacturers in the charger specially made from the article: By adding intelligence ic control of microcomputer chips, can adapt to the charger automatically switching power supply 100-240v, so can the whole Free world, but also because it avoids the voltage difference in equipment damage caused by the accident; In addition, Chi iamx like to have such a strong independent research and development strength of the companies, additional products are also automatically detects the thinkpad battery charge state functions, such as tz2300 plus you can use the slow trickle charge mode full of rechargeable batteries to carry out additional charge, can effectively prevent the battery overload, over-temperature without artificial regulation. Repair of automatic identification technology to allow the use of more peace of mind
In the use of rechargeable batteries, because we often do not charge for a period of time, and it was available battery power, this will lead to a large extent, repeatedly charging the battery life shortened. In the IMAX tz2100 quick charge in the suit, an increase of automatic features to determine the battery capacity, when more of the remaining capacity of the battery into, circuit judge, there is no green light, the charge said, is because the remaining excess capacity, Re-charge the battery on a negative charge and stop, but the trickle circuit the battery still supplement.
In addition to power with the automatic judgments, charger Chi can also be different types / battery hybrid of different electricity charge, the charge does not affect the results, which are home to a variety of brands of cell users, it is very convenient.
With the popularity of electronic products, a wide range of applications aa growing number of battery products, rechargeable batteries and charger is also widely used. In general the family that often appear in a one-time alkaline batteries and rechargeable batteries are mixed. At this time must be distinguished, or alkaline battery as a one-time charge placed on the battery charger on the charge, resulting in charge-off caused by an explosion, fire or even, very terrible consequences. Chi tz2300 charger can be used to determine a one-time auto-dry technology. Can effectively prevent the occurrence of the phenomenon of charge.
If you do not use the ThinkPad T20 battery  for a long time, we want to be sure to remove it from the machine and kept in dry, cool environment. Ni-MH battery charged should be preserved because the tests showed that the nickel-metal hydride battery to preserve the best conditions for the preservation charged 80% of the state. This is because Ni-MH battery self-discharge more (10-15% a month), if the battery completely discharge and then preserved for a long time not to use, the battery self-discharge phenomenon will result in excessive discharge of the battery and damaged Battery.
Of course, even if the battery is the emergence of such a failure should not worry because the IMAX imax package of laws including the automatic restoration of excessive discharge of the functions of the battery, to a large extent, to make up for deficiencies in the use of the.
At present, the highest capacity in the market for Sanyo 2500mah, the shortest time charge of Sanyo charger is a 15-minute quick charge, but the price is very expensive. The number should be the most cost-effective IMAX imax the 2300 plus (1 +4) and the tz2100 quick. IMAX Corporation is the rechargeable battery in recent years in the field of a star product from the 800mah ThinkPad T22 battery on the 7th of 2300 to 5 batteries from the cr123-a rechargeable lithium battery to the cr-v3, very rich product line, whether the general user Or professional can photographers to find their own choice.

With regard to the maintenance of several small notebooks common sense! ! Please take a look at that time pump! ! !
Bought a new laptop battery should be three complete charge and discharge, in order to activate the internal battery of chemicals, so that the battery into the best condition. Usually do not frequently open and close the laptop, or else they will consume a large amount of battery power. If the computer is not a short period of time, it can be in a state of sleep or hang. The use of the Windows power management features, battery power consumption can be reduced to a minimum. Can also download a power management software used to manage power of books, recommended Le Power Center is a free service designed for notebook power management software!
First, the battery charge
In order to improve efficiency and ease of use, in the notebook battery charge is generally used when the fast charge mode, a charge time in the 1.5 to 3 hours. Ni-MH battery current approach to the general charge, and temperature control (that is, to a certain time interval check the battery’s temperature rise) or law-ΔV (Ni-MH battery capacity reached 100% before the battery voltage was gradually increased However, 100% charge capacity, because of its heat through the battery cell voltage drop, and so have a drop-ΔV) measured as a result of control of charging on the basis of whether or not to terminate, together with the TCO of control (with temperature Based on the charge to cut off, cut off the temperature of 60 ℃), to ensure the safety rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries. Lithium-ion inspiron battery chemistry in its decision to charge, first with the constant current charging mode, constant current charge to 4.2V when the (single-core or a few energy-saving power when the voltage batteries in parallel) into the charging voltage, Pressure dropped to 100mA charge current around, stop charging.
Although many notebook computer batteries using the wisdom of the battery technology can be accurately measured and the state of charge of battery life, allow users to use many of the worry, but the battery charge when we should pay attention to the following:
1. Rechargeable batteries should be for the ambient temperature 0 ℃ ~ 45 ℃ temperature scale. The process of charging the battery temperature will affect the charging efficiency and service life, so when conditions permit, the best lithium-ion batteries in 10 ℃ ~ 30 ℃ temperature range for battery charging, so as to achieve the best efficiency of the charge . Ni-MH battery is the use of temperature control or law-ΔV to detect whether the battery is full, the experiment showed that: charging the higher the temperature, the more it is not easy to judge whether the battery is full. Therefore, Ni-MH battery charge when the desired temperature in the 10 ℃ ~ 20 ℃ between.
2. If the laptop’s AC power adapter is not a great power, rechargeable batteries, if conditions permit so that the machine should be shut down or in standby mode without any operation. Because the notebook computer power adapter to power is provided by a certain, large load system (such as the use of hard disk drive or load time, and so on) the time allocated to the Latitude CPi battery  power on the small, it decreases the charge current, the current AC power adapter from the power margin decision. If the battery is less than the current requirements of the charge current, so if things continue this way will affect the battery’s working life. Some notebook computers on the statement called for the laptop battery will not operate this is the reason. We can power adapter and notebook computers rated voltage and current power adapter to calculate the margin of power, which decided to charge the battery when the need for shutdown. The method is simpler: To compare the shutdown and shut down both cases, rechargeable batteries used in time, if the difference more, this laptop’s battery charge in the best when it shut down.
3. To ensure that the use of your laptop’s power adapter match. Inappropriate power adapter may not be fully charged battery, or Latitude CPX battery  meter can not correctly display the battery power.
Second, the battery discharge
1. Can discharge the battery in -20 ℃ ~ 60 ℃ temperature range, preferably at -10 ℃ ~ 45 ℃, because the temperature is below -10 ℃ or 45 ℃ higher than when the battery discharge capacity Will be less than the rated capacity, leading to lower battery performance (with the exception of special applications, the vast majority of laptop users, the ambient temperature is generally not lower than -10 ℃ or higher than 45 ℃).
2. Whether or Ni-MH battery lithium-ion batteries, once the battery to the laptop power supply, and so that the best discharge the battery completely before recharging, which will help extend battery life. The so-called “full discharge” the battery is not fully put the power to do, but according to different types of batteries used to power batteries to allow the value of the minimum values to the battery voltage as a basis, such as nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride batteries single Discharge batteries should not be lower than 1.0V, lithium-ion battery power-saving single-core discharge should be an end to 3.0V (should not be less than the minimum 2.7V), otherwise they will damage the battery. Because the notebook computer (or battery) has an internal control to monitor the discharge circuit (it will be based on the battery discharge condition and the work of the current machines to determine whether the Latitude C640 battery  can continue to work to maintain the machines), so in actual use, and we only need to battery The power to put 1% to 5% charge to start worrying about the battery discharge would be excessive. If the practice can not fully discharge each time, then at least every other month to conduct a full battery discharge, as the notebook computer on a regular basis to the full discharge can increase the storage capacity of the battery, extending the battery life of service.

The laptop battery is a kind of material consumption, and its performance over time will gradually reduce. But as long as the proper use, or it could be as much as possible the extension of the life of. So in actual use, to master the maintenance of a number of laptop batteries and maintenance approach is also very positive. Actual use, we must pay attention to the following:
1. A new battery put into use, there should be 3 to 5 times the full charge and discharge, in order to activate the battery chemicals, so that the battery’s rated capacity to meet the design for the future lay a solid foundation for normal service. After long-term storage battery re-use, should also be carried out several full charge and discharge, in order to restore the original capacity. Specifically: in the BIOS, turn off the power saving options, then enter the “Control Panel” in the “power management” and “the use of power” in “battery” at the bottom of the 3 options are set to “never . ”

And then select the “alert” category, for “lack of battery alarm” and “a serious shortage of battery alarm” two options before the “√” removed, and then close the screen saver, and then to the battery-powered laptops, Prompted inspiron battery to 3% to 5%, the screen brightness to a minimum (or close the screen), power up to 0%, and then connected to AC power adapter for charging batteries, has been sufficient to 100%.

2. Machines do not use without a battery charge state, the machine should be pulled out of the power plug.
3. Do not put batteries to direct sunlight, the battery should not be kept in the high-temperature environments, such as the summer’s car, and so on, otherwise it would lead to reduced battery performance. According to the nickel-metal hydride batteries and lithium-ion batteries should be kept at low temperature storage properties, they kept in a temperature of -20 ℃ ~ +20 ℃ environment is the best, easiest way is to compare the battery on the refrigerator cold Interior, so as to effectively prevent the deterioration of the characteristics of the battery.
4. When we remove the laptop Latitude CPi battery  intended to be stored for a long time, Ni-MH battery to full power; lithium-ion battery and storage, according to official data, should ensure that the battery is full of state and a half (that is, about 50% in electricity ), In order to reduce the wear and tear of the battery. If a long period full of power, or fully discharged, the battery will have a negative impact on life expectancy.
5. In order to give notebook computer batteries to extend the duration of power supply, we should also conduct a number of energy-saving settings. The energy-saving notebook computer set up. Have been able to reduce power consumption, mainly because of a computer into the state of energy-saving, closed in a timely manner, that do not require the use of the equipment.
The energy-saving BIOS settings: in the BIOS settings, enter the “Power” option in “Power Mode for Battery” select “Maximum Battery Life” (the largest battery mode, that is, energy-saving mode). In addition, some do not have to manually shut down the equipment in order to save energy, such as the closure of the serial, parallel, infrared, and so on. Some BIOS settings can also idle machine shut down automatically after a certain period of time displays, hard disk or standby mode, which can be based on actual need for a corresponding set of (different types of BIOS settings may vary).
Windows in the energy-saving settings: general users, in the Windows system for the management of energy-saving operation may have a better understanding of some simple. “Control Panel”, select the “power management” option, “Power Management properties” dialog box, should “use of power” set to “Portable / Laptop” reasonable arrangement “Latitude CPX battery ” at the bottom “Turn off monitors” and “shut down hard” and “System standby” option 3.

If the battery has significantly shortened the time, then try to use 3 to 5 times the full charge and discharge the battery to restore some capacity. If you are using a Ni-MH battery, you can try IBM’s software-specific discharge isbr01ww.exe (This is IBM’s software for use nickel-metal hydride battery of the ThinkPad 390 series notebook computers designed by the trial found that a certain general ), This software can be downloaded http://epocn.chouge.com/nbsoft/sbr01ww.exe or ftp://ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/mobiles/isbr01ww.exe. It should be noted that these methods not only because of frequent discharge as a result of the decline in battery capacity and effective, the service life of the Latitude C600 battery -effectiveness of the latter is highly unlikely. Of course, still some way to save, and that is invited to the master cells for batteries.

Today, people are closely linked through electronic products, electronic products and each has a function more and more. As the demand for a different way of life, as well as requiring electronic products must have the function of the Internet, wired or wireless transmission media, as well as the ability to carry out a large number of different applications for data processing. For example, you can only willing to carry a dialogue without music, video, games, e-mail, pictures, and storage features of the phone you? Stage, we can see that has a camera and even more advanced features of the phone. Since each electronic products or equipment to increase the number of features, laptop battery power, density and volume also increased. This gives us the living environment of a large amount of energy consumption, waste of energy, as well as the hundreds of millions of discarded batteries can not be recovered. If not handled properly, will be to our great harm to the environment. To solve this problem, we do not need to waste energy, or energy, each of the functions of electronic products designed for low energy efficiency. Of course, we do not want to limit the functions of electronic products, but we can-the-art design, technology, system components as well as the framework for better integration of energy conversion and reduce power consumption. The following presentation on the direction of efforts in this regard.

Design

From the design point of view, whether in the chip level or board level, through the use of energy-saving technologies and power systems with a variety of modes of operation of the process to minimize the function, and is not expected or required at the expense of the quality of output (regardless of What are the requirements). Let us take the phone, for example, may be at different levels to save electricity, see table 1.

Technology

In this context, technology plays an important role, involving every device or equipment for a specified function or performance, how the effective use of power. For example, the chip manufacturing process of IC will determine what kind of voltage operation, each of the devices (transistors, logic gates, and so on) how to work a minimum of power. The transistor, we will consider the device gain. If the MOSFET, for example, we have to consider what Vgs the output intensity of what’s Ids. In addition, the consumption may be considered valuable and the loss of power and parasitic leakage. For example, when the turn-on transistor, FET will Rdson the instructions on how conductive loss. The current flowing through this resistance will be transformed into heat energy, equipment for the loss of power output is concerned.

Freescale pioneered the use of technology SMARTMOSTM achieved excellent results. The technology of high power output can be optimized and the key demand for portable devices, such as low leakage and low Rdson with high accuracy and good performance.

Devices / building block

Whether active or passive device, working in the state, will have a loss of power. For example, the capacitor will have a series resistance (ESR), it will be converted into heat loss, and inductors will have a DC resistance (DCR), it will constitute a line or system losses. Faraday tells us that in an ideal situation, the equipment will not be lost, but the reality is that anything is not ideal. Even without resistance is also a component of non-ideal, it would constitute a loss. For example, the step-down converter in the FET switch is turned off, diode flow requirements of a continued bias toward the adoption so that the flow of current. The pressure drop through the diode would constitute a loss as a result it does not have a power output of any contribution, but only so that the output current flows. Similarly, LED bias towards the need to open it for some color LED, this value may be as high as 4V. Fortunately, with advances in technology, these characteristics are more and more unpopular smaller. As the package and the formation of inductors and capacitors has made progress in reducing parasitic, which may ESR or reduce the DCR. If the LED is now lower Schottky diodes bias toward the production, and thus more output voltage can be used. Similarly, LED bias is also getting smaller and smaller.

Pollution in the environment, which may not be used in devices than portable devices (digital cameras or mobile phones) battery is even more worrying. Now we are in accordance with the standards of consumption, will be a year away billions of batteries. Once a depleted Dell battery  , in respect of the termination of their life, will be thrown away if there is no proper disposal, including the acid and toxic chemicals will be harmful to the environment. In essence, that we will have a direct environmental harm, and said in front of the power loss and is parasite indirect harm. Nevertheless, as human beings we need ever-increasing functionality, as well as the low efficiency of energy use, fuel cell waste. Now we can see that the battery manufacturers to adopt advanced production technology for longer battery life. For example, 20 years ago, most of the NiMH battery is a battery instead of lithium batteries (Li ion), and battery unit of energy than today’s much lower. Now lithium batteries or lithium polymer batteries in portable devices such as cell phones widely used. People have begun to introduce more advanced, under the same conditions with a higher energy density, longer battery life. From portable electronic devices triggered by the battery technology for the next wave of its main characters Iron-Li-ion (FeLi) batteries. These fast battery charging, long life and a safer, higher capacity storage units. Another technology that is currently highly sought after fuel cell, the battery more environmentally friendly, without charge, as long as the supply of hydrogen fuel can provide energy. In fact, it is speeding up the development of portable applications for RFID (radio frequency identification) of the fuel cell, and strive to make it to market as quickly as possible. In addition, government and professional bodies such as the US Fuel Cell Council, or the fuel cell industry associations are also established in the United States and is committed to the development of fuel cell and universal.

Finally, I come to the end in order to display the list of building blocks, many large and small companies, scientists and engineers try to launch the province more power display. If you look at electronics, the human interface is the most direct display. You need to visit the display, play games, view or you are writing or control the content, or you want to enter the running. This is also a digital camera or cell phone LCD displays increasing, more and more high-resolution color. This also lead to more power consumption and battery consumption. In order to resolve this conflict, came into the Bi-stable display technology can power consumption need not show that picture content. We have seen in Japan as e-books e-books are already using this technology. The technology need not show that power has been shown in the picture, but do not have forever. Only to be replaced or refreshed when power consumption. Moreover, with its reflective light means no need for backlighting, only ambient light on it. This is in sharp contrast to traditional displays, such as STN, LED, or LCD’s electrical energy needs in a row to visit or stay in the picture screen. The new technology will enable end products lighter weight and can run very low energy, which means that more energy can be saved, to make our environment more environmentally friendly. The best technology is no need to change the frequent display of the content of the application, such as eBook, or electronic timetable for the airport and railway station. The technology is also widely known as the ePaper display (EPD), or eInk radio show.

In 2007 the notebook market, we see more of the platform is to upgrade and lower prices, but also in view of this appears to be “exaggerated” in 2007 led to the hot notebook market. But many consumers, especially students to buy friends in the notebook computer when it is often only concerned about what this notebook uses Processor, is an independent graphics and so on, but it has forgotten its own notebook computer characteristic, and that The ability to move. But the editors here said mobility is not the size of the book, and its laptop battery performance.

Editor’s actually a lot of friends in 2007 to buy a notebook computer, even though a lot of time to buy again at the beginning of the editors repeatedly stressed the importance of the battery, but many people still choose the configuration of the notebook is relatively high, and that their small mobile Use. However, in this matrix “is a new energy” after the beginning of his notebook to use at work, only to find due to the high configuration brought about by the low asus battery capacity, making notebook computers in the power outlet to leave more than 1 hour after paralysis Lost.

That is why we see those special business notebooks tend to adopt a lower performance Core 2 Duo U / LV series of processors. In earlier testing, we can see that the adoption of Core 2 Duo U or LV series of notebook computer processor to reduce a lot of processor performance, but this performance brought about by the loss is a good A3H battery performance Accordingly, as well as better mobility.

At this point in 2007 by various manufacturers introduced rotating screen notebook can be more obvious to see. (Rotary screen notebook position in the high-level general business notebook computer) processors and power consumption is only one other independent, such as graphics, high-speed hard drives, and even more memory will be an increase in the consumption of some power M2 battery .

From the notebook of the birth of the day, the laptop battery on the controversy has never stopped, because of persistent use of laptops is a very important indicator of technology, and the capacity of the battery determines that laptop’s important indicator. In the end how can we maximize the use of the battery to play the effect of extending the battery life of it? Now, we all set out for a few people often vulnerable to the misunderstanding: (without all that for now the most commonly used lithium-ion battery)

I, for the first time the use of batteries, three times before the need to charge 12 hours
This is totally unnecessary. Because the laptop has improved power management circuits and charging management system, when the battery reached saturation, the control circuit will automatically switch to the open state, so long as the line is full, does not mean that you will be able to charge more for a long time with longer The.

Second, in order to prevent the memory effect, should it run out of electric charge it?
     Every time charge of battery discharge before it is not necessary, but also harmful. Practice has proved that as: the depth of the battery will discharge unnecessary to shorten battery life, when the proposal to use about 10% of the battery can be recharged when the. When the asus battery, of course, there are still more than 30% of electricity when it would be better not to charge, because the memory effect is real.

Third, insert AC, the battery should be to win in order to prevent repeated charge and discharge it?
I suggest that is: do not have to! Of course, you can get lithium-ion battery discharge natural to refute me, saying that in the natural discharge the battery, if there is access to power will be repeated charge-discharge, reduced battery life. I give you a “no” answer to the following reasons:
1. Notebooks now have the power control circuit design of the features: When the battery is 90% (as most of the HP models) or 95% of the charge will be, and to achieve this through the natural discharge capacity of 2 hours a week , When the batteries do not have to idle for about a month to complete in order to maintain the battery charge and discharge capacity at this time you should be concerned about the battery should be about training the body and not be left idle after the re-charging.
2. Even if the battery “unfortunate” was once again charge, the loss will not be brought about by the long period of time than the A2 battery  consumption caused by the large decline in the number.
3. Your data than you or your notebook batteries are much more valuable, not only power all of a sudden you have a notebook injury, is unable to restore the data it is too late to regret the.

Fourth, long-term need to preserve battery power is full of it?
Read the following table on this clear: (percentage of saturation at the time of the initial value of the relative percentage)
Storage temperature of 40% of the state-of-charge 100% state of charge
0 degrees 98% (after one year) 94% (after one year)
25 degrees 96% (after one year) 80% (after one year)
40 degrees 85% (after one year) 65% (after one year)
60 degrees 75% (after one year) 60% (3 months)
It is clear that if the long-term preservation of the battery, as far as possible on the dry and low temperature environment so that the remaining battery power at about 40% of the best. Of course, the best month we should come out with a A3H battery , the battery can ensure a good state of preservation, and not let the loss of full electricity and cell damage.

Fifth, as far as possible in how to use the notebook to extend the use of time?
1. To reduce the brightness of the screen. However, large-screen LCD power consumption, reduce the brightness can be used to extend the time.
2. PowerPlay and open SpeedStep power-saving features, and so on. Now the notebook and display processor chips have a lower frequency and voltage to extend the use of the function of the time, open the corresponding options can significantly extend the M2 battery  life.
3. The use of hard disk drive and the deceleration of the software: NERO DriveSpeed, PowerBooster software can reduce the drive, hard disk drives, such as speed, can effectively reduce the notebook.

The use of laptop computers to worry about most is the laptop battery. Recently extended battery life, but even then, people have to always keep in mind that a battery supplies.

Although the factory to stop production after 8 years, will continue to provide models of the original battery, but the purchase of personal computers three or four years, regardless of machine or have been behind the battery, in which case if a specially bought old-fashioned flowers The battery is very uneconomical.

Based on this consideration, as far as possible to extend the battery life can be said to be economical and practical.

Different types of cells are different in nature

The widespread use of laptop lithium-ion battery (or similar products). Not long ago, and the PC, A4-based notebook computer for the time being in the premise of the use of nickel-metal hydride batteries are also used. The move again before the mid-1990s, is used in nickel-cadmium batteries.

First of all, look at the operation manual, used to confirm what kind of sony battery. If there is no statement by the battery manufacturer’s home page to see specifications.

Nickel-metal hydride batteries and nickel-cadmium batteries, the biggest problem is the existence of “memory effect”, if the battery has not run out on the charge (half-way charging), the next time the use of batteries, used to start the charge that there will be no local power. If the constant cycle of the process, the battery life will be shorter and shorter.

Although the Ni-MH battery memory effect than nickel cadmium batteries to be small, but repeatedly charging half-way life is shortened. So please try to be all used up battery recharge.

Lithium-ion battery memory effect did not, so even if it is off half-way charge is also no problem.

To extend battery life use

Although the lithium-ion battery is no memory effect, but also how to use a great impact on life expectancy. The use of lithium-ion VGP-BPS5  Please note the following:

Full power of the state not to use the power AC drive

And not full of electricity compared to the full power of the state more vulnerable to aging. In particular, is full of the use of electric power AC drive, the battery will give a great burden. At the same time increase the amount of heat to further speed up the aging batteries.

As a result, the use of laptop computers for the time being, once full of power, it is best to use battery power.

Manufacturers suggested that the use of AC power supply when the battery is removed (However, if the battery is removed, we must pay attention to unplug the cable or power failure occurred, such as accidents, the loss would not keep data).

The use of energy saving features

Impact on battery life is the charge and discharge the number of times. In order to minimize the frequency of recharging, can be used with notebook computers the power function (in the use of VGP-BPS3 -powered, the screen brightness dimmed and CPU speed to reduce power consumption in order to reduce).

By the same token, there is battery power, it is best not to charge as much as possible, the battery fully utilized.

Full discharge once every few months

Another trick is to put the battery every few months or a full discharge. Specific practices that have been used to zero battery power, to zero after the cessation of the use of electricity, the AC adapter to connect, and then do not use personal computers, together with the electricity.

Some personal computers have a “discharge the battery (Battery Refresh) function.” If the battery is very easy to use, try using the battery discharge function.

Not for a long time, unplug the AC adapter

More than 8 hours or more do not have to, in order not to burden on the battery, unplug the AC adapter. In addition, if not more than a month, you remove the VGP-BPL2  from the machine and placed in the shade.

When the battery replaced?

To replace the standard battery is recharged after only reach into the original capacity of about 6.

There are many types of cells as a result, it is necessary to purchase personal computers being used on that kind of model. In addition, it is best not to purchase back-up ahead of time, even if not, the battery will be the natural wear and tear.

There has been no need to buy genuine batteries, but is currently being used to discharge the battery to restore its performance. “BAYSUN” is one of them a week’s time will be able to resume the performance of the battery.

This compared with the purchase of genuine, not only cheap, manufacturers do not stock, or second-hand laptop PCGA-BP71  attached to no longer be able to use the occasion is especially convenient, and so on.

Digital camera is powered by batteries, but if you are using does not match the savings of not pay attention to the battery or the laptop battery will not take you long time run out. Of course, the battery will eventually run out, when you find they are depleted, you will need to replace them.
       Save the battery, carrying a lot of attention should be paid. Just bought rechargeable battery power is low or no general electricity, should be used before the charge. After the full power of the hot cell, it should be cooled and then into the machine. In order to extend the shooting time, shooting process should not try to use the LCD viewfinder; reduce the number of times optical zoom.
       When in use as far as possible we want to save battery usage. First of all, as far as possible to avoid unnecessary use of the zoom operation, if it is to zoom, we encourage you to move the location of the camera’s zoom to get the same results! This was followed by the lights to avoid frequent use of photography, photographic light power is large, the recommendations have no choice if we do not normally use. Further adjustments in the image when the best use of the viewfinder, rather than LCD display. LCD display of astonishing power, so the best use of as ordinary shooting through the viewfinder can be completed. Of course not, in order to save electricity it will be blocked, such as shooting at close range when the LCD display is an indispensable component. Finally, remember not to use the camera when its closed.
       For the sony battery clean, and most people do not pay attention to. In order to avoid the loss of electricity problems, please keep the battery at both ends of the contact point and the internal battery lid clean. If necessary, use a soft, clean dry cloth to gently wipe away. Must not use or cleaning of chemical such as solubility of the detergent, such as thinner, or with alcohol solvent cleaning your digital camera, batteries, or charger. In addition, the use of charge, please use the soft, dry cloth clean the battery contacts at both ends, as far as possible to allow both ends of the battery clean and maintain contact so that it can ensure that the batteries can be completely adequate electricity. If the battery electrode oxidation of the situation there, the need to wipe out, if it is serious or oxidation drop the case should be immediately replaced with new batteries.
       The right way to use rechargeable batteries for about a great impact, supporting the use of the original battery and charger, will help extend the battery life. The charging time depends on the used batteries and chargers, and the use of voltage stability, and so on. If this is the first time the use of the VGP-BPS5  (or several months have not used the battery), it is necessary to keep in mind that rechargeable lithium batteries when the number of its provisions to more than 1 hour charge time around, Ni-MH battery must be more than 14 hours, or in the future Battery life is shorter. After several normally takes charge / discharge process in order to achieve the best efficiency. And there are remnants of battery power, as far as possible not to repeat the charge to ensure that the battery life.
       In the use of lithium batteries should be noted that for a period of time after the battery is placed into hibernation, lower than normal capacity at this time, the time has also come to shorten. However, lithium batteries can easily activated, as long as after 3-5 times the normal charge-discharge cycle of the battery can be activated, the resumption of normal capacity. As the battery lithium own characteristics, its decision is almost no memory effect. Therefore, users of the new lithium battery in the activation process does not require special methods and equipment. This is not only in theory, from the very beginning, the use of standard methods of charging that “activation” is the best way.
       Lithium batteries for the “activation”, a large number of claims: the time to charge more than 12 hours, repeated three times to do in order to activate the VGP-BPS3 . “The first three necessary and sufficient to charge more than 12 hours”, it is obvious from the nickel battery (such as nickel-cadmium and nickel metal hydride) inherited. This is why it can be said is the beginning of miscommunication. Lithium batteries and nickel battery charge and discharge characteristics of a very big difference, and can tell you that I have access to all information technology are emphasized and the charge-off will discharge lithium batteries, in particular liquid lithium-ion battery causing great harm . According to the charge and therefore the best time and method of charging standards, in particular for not more than 12 hours of super-long charge.
     In addition, the lithium battery in the battery charger will automatically stop after a charge, there is no electricity nickel charger for 10 hours the so-called “trickle” charge. In other words, if your lithium batteries in full, on the white charger is also sufficient. And we can not guarantee that no one VGP-BPL2  charge and discharge protection circuit features and never change the quality of safety, so your batteries will be in the long-term hovering on the brink of danger. This is also another charge against the chief reason.
