A laptop battery is a very important part of a personal computer. In order for it to serve for a long time, and its work remains stable, it is necessary to follow certain rules for the operation of this battery.
Instructions
Step 1
Choosing a laptop battery is a very responsible process. The fact is that damage to this particular element leads to the fact that your laptop "turns" into a stationary computer that requires permanently connected power.
Step 2
Check the battery when buying a laptop. Insert it into the appropriate slot and connect the power to the laptop. Wait until the battery is fully charged. The indicator should show 99%. If the value has stopped at, say, 96%, then the battery is defective.
Step 3
Considering the fact that laptop batteries use lithium ions (Lion symbol), it is necessary to carry out several full charge and discharge cycles of the battery. Turn off the laptop, connect the power to it. Wait until the battery is fully charged. Turn off the power and turn on the laptop. Let the battery drain completely. Repeat the described cycle 2-3 times.
Step 4
The battery is now ready for use. If you use your laptop often enough at home and you have the ability to plug it into AC power, then remove the battery during this period. This will help you avoid wasting battery life.
Step 5
To properly store the battery outside the laptop, it is recommended to follow some rules. Before removing the battery, charge it 50-60%. Wrap the battery in a plastic bag and store in a cool, dark place. Avoid direct sunlight under any circumstances. Avoid humid locations.
Step 6
To avoid problems with finding a suitable battery in case of damage to the first, purchase a second battery in advance. This will save you some time and money. The fact is that while this laptop model is quite popular, you can easily pick up a cheap battery for it. By the way, there is an opinion that the service life of such batteries is much higher than that of those that come with a laptop.
