Laptop battery use precautions
To ensure the Laptop battery can maintain a better working condition when in use, there are some considerations.
(1) New bought battery should fully charged at least once, then power exhausted, formally use only after the second charge. This can fully activate the chemical effects of lithium batteries.
(2) When the notebook computer using AC power, remove the battery out would be preferable to avoid them always in charge state. It’s best to shutdown the laptop when charging, make the battery fully charged. Also, do not unplug the power in the charge half-way, and use after charging finished at least 30 minutes.
(3) If using battery-boot after a few minutes, it is best not to take over the external power supply, but to let the Dell Inspiron 5100 battery charge after runs out.
(4) Sometimes connect to AC power the battery may not charge, it is because some vendors designed to prevent battery record over-charge cycles and deliberately, and only less than 95% when battery started charging. When charging, if the shows the battery is already full, do not cut off AC power, because the battery power at this time may be just about 80%, it is best to maintain an external power supply for about 30 minutes charge time-out in order to ensure a fully charged battery.
(5) The battery should be placed in shade in order to weaken its internal self-passivation reaction speed if you don’t use it for a long-term.
In fact, there is not much to take into account about the battery usage, the difference number of times a cell can be used comes more from the battery itself and differences in the manufacturing process, choose the laptop has a good reputation is no doubt one of the guarantees for long-life battery in the future.
