How to Prolong Rechargeable Battery Life
Dell Laptop Computer Prolong Your Laptop Battery Life by: 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.

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 batte
