The use of new laptop batteries

When you buy a new battery or a new notebook computer, you will find that the battery is very little or no electricity, no computer has been launched. This is because the batteries after a long period of storage, and the laptop battery has a natural discharge process, the natural discharge has been completed, it will not affect the battery capacity. The first charge, you should continuously and to charge the battery to 12 hours, and cycle to fully charge, discharge three times (see maintenance of a battery) to fully awaken a new battery. If a battery by 12 hours after a row or three times after the charge and discharge cycle is still unable to charge, this battery can not use the need to be replaced.

Laptop battery maintenance

The rechargeable batteries are generally through chemical reaction to store the electronic energy, so its capacity is likely because of temperature, not the length of time, load the environment and affected by the frequency of use.

Following is on how to optimizing the maintenance batteries to extend battery life.

Began to charge the battery, the best, and so it is entirely necessary and sufficient, again after good use of it. If this is a new ibm battery, or you give it the first charge, it is possible because the batteries of the chemical properties but not sufficient to full capacity. To receive the maximum performance, battery of chemical materials must be fully activated. Specific:

Charge the battery completely discharge three times;

If this battery is stored for a few months does not use, I suggest you have it all three times the charge, discharge;

Only battery power to fully use it to end after the charge. Part of the charge, could lead to discharge the ThinkPad X60 battery  inside the batteries of the chemical properties inconsistent and therefore battery performance will retreat down.

I suggest you batteries every few months to conduct a depth of discharge to optimize the performance of the battery. Specific approach is to use battery-powered, the battery capacity has been used to 0% (when the system will automatically enter sleep or standby status, according to different settings in the BIOS). Then connect the exchange has been full of chargers to 100 percent so far.

Buy a new laptop batteries are generally a start-up capacity, the first use of electricity must be exhausted before the laptop battery charge. After every 30 days to fully discharge the battery and recharging it to saturation.

Note: the battery is fully discharge refers to the use of battery-powered laptops to work, due to power until the computer automatically shut down too low. In this respect you will see on the screen prompts the power is too low, too low or the power to hear the sirens, but not hands to the Commissioner notebook computers, notebook computers continued to boot, until it had exhausted all the automatic shutdown of electricity .

Notebook computer batteries, usually have a “measured”, can calculate the battery power, battery meter on the ibm battery to the memory decided to stop charging or discharge. Regularly charging and discharging will guarantee the accuracy of measurement is, if often not fully charged or not fully discharged, the battery memory will be disrupted in a vicious cycle, Shijianyizhang battery life will be greatly reduced.

To extend battery life, usually used to save electricity as much as possible and pay attention to the following three points:

1. Using a laptop computer power management features, the use of these features will help to save ThinkPad T30 battery  power.

2. Liquid crystal display great power, to use visual discomfort, is the brightness as much as possible transferred to the minimum acceptable level, this can save a lot of power.

3. Unplug from the notebook computer peripherals do not have the time being, as far as possible not to use the closure of the current procedures, this can save electricity.  Gansu Yang Jianxin 

Editor Comments: laptop battery life is limited, maintained a good or bad or not, ThinkPad X60 battery  life is certainly not the same. Notebook computer batteries because of the expensive, we hope that the careful care of their own books batteries
