Laptop battery are many different kinds, of course, the nature of different types of batteries will not be the same. Now widespread use of lithium-ion notebook computer batteries (or similar products); long ago, personal computers, A4-based notebook computer under the premise of the temporary use is used in nickel-metal hydride battery; but until the mid-nineties, using a nickel cadmium batteries. After the user to buy a notebook, first of all look at operating instructions, to confirm what kind of battery is used. If there is no manual you can view the battery manufacturer's home page specification.
Nickel-metal hydride batteries and nickel-cadmium batteries biggest problem is the "memory effect", if the battery has not run out on the charge (half-way charge), then next time you use the Acer batbl50l6 Battery when the charge used in the beginning there is no electricity in that place. If the continuous cycle of this process, the battery life will be shorter and shorter.
Although the Ni-MH battery memory effect is smaller than nickel-cadmium batteries, but also shorten the life of repeated half-way charging the reasons, so please try to recharge after the battery fully utilized.
Lithium-ion battery without memory effect, so even a half-way off and there will not be charging a big problem.
To extend battery life use
Although the lithium-ion battery without memory effect, but the incorrect use will greatly affect the life span. The use of lithium-ion battery should pay attention to the following points:
Full power state not to use AC power | Regulators Driver
Compared with no full power, full power state more easily aging. In particular, the use of AC is full of electric power-driven, the battery will bring a heavy burden. It also increases the amount of heat, to further accelerate the aging batteries. Therefore, the temporary use of laptop computers, once filled with electricity, a good idea to use battery power. Manufacturer recommends the use of AC power when you remove the battery (remove the battery, but if we must pay attention to unplug the occurrence of accidents such as power outages or cable, it will not keep losing the data).
Use power-saving features
The factors that affect the battery life is the charge and discharge cycles. In order to minimize the frequency of recharging, we can use laptop computers with power saving function (when using battery-powered, dimming the screen brightness, reducing CPU speed to reduce power consumption). By the same token, the battery there is electricity, it is best to try not to charge the battery fully utilized.
Fully discharge once every other months,
Another trick is to put each or a few months once the battery is fully discharged. A specific approach is to have zero power to the battery used to power after the zero to stop using, connect AC adapter, and then do not use personal computers, at a stretch to full power. Some personal computers have a "battery discharge (Battery Refresh) function." If we think that the Acer aspire 5100 series Battery is very easy to use, you can try using the battery discharge feature.
A long time when not in use, unplug the AC adapter
More than eight hours or more when not in use, in order not to burden the battery, please unplug the AC adapter. Also, if more than a month when not in use, please remove the battery from the machine and placed in the shade.
When replacing the battery?
The standard is to replace the battery charge can only achieve the original capacity of 6 percent or so. Because there are many types of cells, it is necessary to purchase personal computers being used on that kind of model. In addition, it is best not to pre-purchase of spare, because if not, the battery will be natural wear and tear.
There has been no need to buy genuine batteries, but to discharge the battery currently in use in order to restore the performance of services. "BAYSUN" is one of them a week's time to restore the battery performance.
This approach, compared with the purchase of authentic, not only cheap, there is no inventory in the factory, or second-hand laptop with the Acer travelmate 4200 series Battery can no longer use such occasions are particularly convenient.
