Some people think that one of the most important parts of a small mobile computer is its battery. It must be properly cared for to avoid premature deterioration.
Instructions
Step 1
Check your battery when buying a netbook. This option is available to all customers, except for the situation when you purchase a mobile computer from an online store. Connect the netbook to AC power and turn it on. Wait a while to allow the battery to fully charge. Now look at the readings of the indicator located in the system tray.
Step 2
If the charge level does not rise above 98%, then it is better to give up this mobile computer. Most likely, its battery is not quite high quality. Now learn how to properly charge the netbook battery.
Step 3
Turn off your mobile computer and reconnect it to an electrical outlet. If there is an indicator on the case of the device that shows the battery charge level or simply changes color if it is fully charged, then follow its indications. Unplug the netbook from AC power, making sure the battery has reached the maximum level.
Step 4
Turn on your mobile computer. Leave it on until the battery is completely discharged. Repeat this cycle several times. If you want to conserve battery life, try not to use it when you can connect the equipment to AC power.
Step 5
Never store a fully discharged battery separately from the netbook. It is recommended to charge the battery 40-60% before removing it. Even in a situation where you use your mobile computer at home most of the time, try to connect the battery to it every 2-3 months. This will prevent damage to the battery.
Step 6
Make sure to purchase an additional battery in advance. This will save you the hassle of looking for a similar model in the future. And you can go long enough without having to charge your netbook.
