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.
