Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the dell laptop battery First post by: www.laptop-battery-stores.comLaptop owners are often told that they can easily repair laptop batteries to avoid the cost of buying new ones. This is a bit of a fallacy and is usually not the best idea.Is it possible to repair the batteries in your laptop? Well, yes, it is to the extent that pretty much anything can be repaired if enough money and effort is expended to do it. The idea of repairing batteries comes from the knowledge that the laptop battery actually consists, in most models, of several small batteries inside a plastic case. Inside the case is also thermo coupling device and a circuit board.The thermo coupling device is to protect against high temperature and the circuit board connects the batteries to the D.C. power supply, but also has connections for various data reading that indicate battery life and charging condition. The first thing you will notice when you are attempting to repair a normal battery is that it was not designed to be easily repaired by replacing the internal battery cells. The plastic case is glued together and needs to be pried open. This is often a hint that replacement of the cells is not the intended approach by the maker.Of course, the do it yourself type might ignore the intentions of the manufacturer in many cases. After all, they are in the business of selling replacement batteries also such as dell Inspiron E1705 battery. So, once you pry the case open, you are faced with a couple of problems. Telling the condition of the cells inside in dependent on the readings of the data circuits, but if they are the problem, replacement of the cells will not work anyway. Many of the battery cells require soldering to the circuits, so you must be prepared for this as well.Finally, for most models, the cost of the replacement cells is high anyway. By the time you have purchased replacements, you might as well have just purchased the whole new replacement battery. The price savings does not seem to justify either the time or the risk of trying to replace individual cells. The internet does have some sites devoted to this procedure, but like laptop repairs in general, the sites are mostly geared toward trained repairmen and are very model specific.Americans are used to tinkering and many of us are proud of our mechanical skills, but it is just possible that the laptop computer is one of those things that have progressed to the point where its size, the delicate nature of its circuitry, and even the intentions of its makers leave us little choice when there is a problem. The best advice available for repairs, even of the battery pack, is to establish a good relationship with a very qualified repairman.http://www.articlesbase.com/laptops-articles/the-misery-of-bad-laptop-batteries-can-you-fix-them-4559710.html
