How to Prolong Your Rechargeable Battery Life
Prolong Your Laptop Battery Life
1. Avoid deep discharge and instead, try to charge your laptop battery more often between uses. The smaller the depth of discharge, the longer the battery will last.
2. Avoid storing the battery in full discharged state. As the battery will self-discharge overtime, its voltage will gradually lower, and when it is depleted below the low-voltage threshold (2.4 to 2.9 V/cell, depending on chemistry) it cannot be charged anymore because the protection circuit (a type of electronic fuse) disables it.
3. Lithium-ion batteries should be kept cool; they may be stored in a
refrigerator if deemed necessary. The rate of degradation of Lithium-ion
batteries is strongly temperature-dependent; they degrade much faster
if stored or used at higher temperatures.
4. Having a battery fully charged and the laptop plugged in is not harmful, because as soon as the charge level reaches 100% the battery stops receiving charging energy and this energy is bypassed directly to the power supply system of the laptop.
5. However there's a disadvantage in keeping the battery in its socket when the laptop is plugged in, but only if it's currently suffering from excessive heating caused by the laptop hardware. In a normal usage, if the laptop doesn't get too hot (CPU and Hard Disk around 40ºC to 50ºC) the battery should remain in the laptop socket;
In an intensive usage which leads to a large amount of heat produced (i.e. Games, temperatures above 60ºC) the battery should be removed from the socket in order to prevent unwanted heating.
