subject: Top 4 Battery Lifecycle Tips For Hp Laptop Battery [print this page] A friend recently asked me how hecould prolong the hp life of his notebook? As we often get the same question from our customers as well, I thought it would be worth sharing The 4 Hp dv2000 Battery Lifecycle Tips from Fujitsu with you:Some background information beforehand:Each notebook battery gets used up like the brakes in a car. A hp with normal usage (office) has a limited lifetime of about 400 cycles (charge /re-charge). With each charge the battery capacity decreases by a small amount. In normal usage battery cells have a rest capacity of 60% after 400 cycles.Charging the battery: A battery pack normally consists of several cells. When the battery is charged, its temperature is increased due to chemical effects. Therefore it is mandatory to charge the hp according to the suppliers specifications. It is especially important that the battery cells are not charged too fast, otherwise the Hp dv9000 Battery are overheating this causes irreparable damage. Fujitsu notebooks feature a patented battery charging technology which automatically charges the battery in an optimal manner.Temperature of the environment/surroundings: The higher the temperature of the surroundings the faster the battery cells are used up.Usage of the battery: If the notebook is regularly used with highest performance powering only by Hp dv6000 Battery, the hp laptop batteries temperature will rise. The higher the temperature of the cells, the faster the battery is used up. Therefore, should the notebook regularly be used at the highest performance level, Fujitsu recommends powering the notebook with an AC adaptor if available.Sporadic notebook usage: If you dont use your notebook for a long period of time, Fujitsu recommends to load the battery up to 50-70% and leave the hp laptop batterieswith the notebook in a cold and dry room (around 10-15 Centigrade).
