More and more people start using laptop, it has brought convenience to the users so that we can fully enjoy the benefits and pleasure of mobile office. But have you ever thought about what’s allowing laptop bring such convenient? In fact, it is the batteries, the laptop with same function as the desktop if without laptop battery. Meanwhile, laptop battery is the expensive consumable part in the laptop, the longer working life, the lower cost we spend, and now let us talk about how to maintain your laptop battery when during the using process.


1.A new Laptop batteryneed activate or not?

In fact, the activation task of laptop battery should have been completed in the factory, the few electricity in the laptop battery when leave the factory is in order to avoid the nature waste damage the laptop battery. The activation work of laptop battery should be proceed in the condition which without protective circuit, but lithium laptop battery with protection circuit itself, the purpose of designing circuit block is to avoid the laptop battery over-charge and discharge, generally, when a laptop battery full of charge, the charge indicator light out, the laptop battery is not in charge status, then it is useless that if you put the charge plug to charge again. We can identify laptop battery is charging or not from the laptop battery status, there is a simple way to judge the laptop battery whether is in charge status or not, the laptop battery will throw off some heat when in charging task, after the laptop battery charge 1 hour (please don’t pull out the charge plug), you can touch the laptop battery, then you will find that the laptop battery is in normal temperature condition, this is because the laptop battery is not in charge status, so it won’t generate heat.


2.How to charge correctly?

Regardless the laptop use lithium batteries or nickel-hydrogen batteries, these batteries have memory effect, Ni-MH laptop battery has clear memory effect, lithium laptop battery also has memory effect, but its memory effect is smaller than the nickel-metal hydride relatively. We have heard that the lithium laptop battery without memory effect, but that is some exaggerated saying just in order to mislead consumers, now that the laptop battery with memory effect, so we should use up the electricity then start charging, please don’t charge it whenever you like, even it is very convenient to use, but it will shorten the laptop battery working life. However, we completely no need to charge after the laptop battery run out of electricity, it is too trouble. Although this is because laptop battery under the protection of circuit protection and won’t damage the laptop battery, but there is so special need. In fact, it is okay to charge when the electricity less than 3%, the memory effect is exist objectively, but it is nothing to compare with the nature waste.


3.Is it required to unplug laptop battery when use the external power?

This is have to look at whether need to charge for the laptop battery or not when you use the external power supply, the charge cycles times is directly related to the laptop battery working life, the charge and discharge times of lithium laptop battery is fixed under normal circumstances, the charge cycles is around 500 times. We charge for the laptop battery per time, correspondingly, it is to reduce once chargeable chance. But current many laptop manufacturers are all take the vulnerability of laptop battery into consideration, after increase the protective technology, the laptop battery will not be chargeable if it can’t meet certain conditions. Even so, when you use external power supply in a long time, we suggest you to unplug the laptop battery when you use the laptop, because high temperature is one of the opponents for the laptop battery, the laptop will generate certain high temperature during using process, this is harmful to the laptop battery. Of course, if you have no confidence about your laptop battery, we suggest you to unplug the laptop battery and then use the external power supply, because not all the batteries have a protection circuit.
