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.
