Many people have been asking all kinds of laptop batteries, I have answered many times, because of various problems are similar, so I order a bit, want to help users find the answer in question, hope the same problem we do not repeatedly asked me, in the paste in their answers.

First tell you a little knowledge: Comparison of advantages and disadvantages of various types of Dell Laptop Battery.

http://www.any-battery.com/images/m/20100623/BIKC033219.jpg

    Introduced the first rechargeable battery nickel-cadmium batteries (NiCd), but this battery has "memory effect", each charge must be discharged before, very easy to use, and soon it was nickel-metal hydride battery (NiMH) are replaced, NiMH is not only no "memory effect", and make more per unit weight of 10% of the electricity. The most commonly used battery is a lithium-ion battery (Li-Ion), it is also no "memory effect", compared with NiMH, get more weight per unit of electricity, the price twice as high than the NiMH. Blue notebooks are now using lithium batteries, S12A polymer lithium battery, volume control, and life in even better performance. In the same weight, the three battery time than is 1:1.2:1.9.

Question 1: Direct charge the battery when it not run out , OK?

A: Most laptops use rechargeable batteries inside the lithium-ion battery (Li-Ion), no memory effect, you run out of power and not run out of charge is the same, do not worry. And buy something is to use, the notebook can play the largest role is the most important, considering the fear of damage to the battery can not charge contingency, that is the biggest loss.

Question 2: Why does my laptop battery will be useless broken a few times?

A: Many people have been inserted in the notebook battery notebook above, usually do not have life functions, a direct use of the adapter, this strange usage of the battery is not bad.

http://www.any-battery.com/images/m/20110702/AAPCK099912-1.jpg

    Are there any battery life, Dell Inspiron i1764 Battery life, but according to charge and discharge cycles to be calculated. But many people do not fully understand this issue, coupled with the general number of notebook battery charge and discharge are at least 500 times or so, so many of my friends think that laptop battery life is about two years.

Laptop battery even if not, there will be self-discharge phenomenon, once place for too long, there will be excessive discharge situation. Once this level, I am afraid a lot of battery power are not on the charge, battery, hey, they come to an end a few useless.

http://www.any-battery.com/images/m/20110630/AAPCK099923.jpg

In other words, even if you do not use the Dell Inspiron 1545 battery for a long time, not capable placed, preferably over a period of time on a charge and discharge, in order to maintain the battery's "state." However, because of lithium itself also has some memory effect (no memory effect Lithium generally say it is wrong, there are also memory effect of lithium, but it is small), preferably within the battery power runs out first, then charge, so The results will be better. Of course, the best control of the charging time of 12 hours, or over-charging can lead to reduced battery life.

    So remember usually at home, plug the power use, laptop batteries should be removed. There will not be used, as long as proper care, custody prior to discharge completely, not bad.

General notebook battery cell using a 10.8V or 11.1V, and a single cell can not meet the requirements of so many laptop batteries are based on single cells in series and parallel composition of the battery pack. As we often see in the battery case 3300mAh, 4400mAh and so refers to the capacity of the battery, it is indicative that the battery discharge current can be used for one hour, for example: 4400mAh lithium battery can discharge one hour current 4400mA . So the higher the number the better to prove it can work longer.
 
Charge and discharge control and protection circuit suggests that it is responsible for the Dell laptop battery charge and discharge control and protection, the principle it works like this, because the lithium battery in the charging process is very close to full voltage will drop slightly when the point, the control circuit to detect this kind of situation that the battery is already full, the protection circuit is also working to cut off power to prevent overcharging; discharge the battery voltage is basically stable and unchanging, the remaining battery power only rarely, when a sudden drop in only, when the control circuit detect this situation is that the battery power ran out and inform the protection circuit cut off power supply to prevent over-discharge the battery life shortened.
The internal structure of the Dell Inspiron 1545 battery, in fact, incredibly simple, a shell, a working circuit plus a battery pack.

7306314_1302695223819_1024x1024.jpg
Battery is mainly shell + board + batteries, it seems the most important part is the batteries, it is not true, the most important part of the circuit, because the process of using a battery itself, is recorded in the circuit boards. Maintenance of a Dell Inspiron 6400 battery, if simply replace the batteries, it is useless, because on the battery itself is good or bad, have always been recorded. So if you have to find out if the battery maintenance, you will find a word to unlock, lock the board in fact recorded information about battery replacement, such as number of charge cycles, and the use of time to re-set, with all the wires core mix will achieve the same with the new battery duration. These are some of the repairs to the back of our content.

Laptop accessories market, can say now is very confusing, especially this one laptop battery, original fake, old batteries refurbished, no company name address, warranty has become an empty word. So how as consumers buy to ensure their own interests?

1. Look at packaging
Are there brands. Neutral non-branded packaging as cohabitation, easily lead to inferior products or to buy second-hand refurbished products;
Whether there is anti-static sealed bag, lined with anti-static sponge, etc., these are the basic configuration to protect
Dell  laptop battery;
Whether the bar code. Barcode is the country identify the commodity standard unified management authority logo.

2. To see the appearance of
Are there scratches or old flu, or easy to buy second-hand refurbished goods;
Is there a clear parameters, performance, application type identifier;
Battery cover up and down the seams have been opened at the scene.

3. To see the price
Is there a unified price marking. If the offer confusion, it is recommended not to buy, especially for the product known as the original battery.

4 to see if there is a formal description of security and after-sales commitment
A formal professional grade batteries with products that can guarantee one-year warranty. If you can not have this commitment, then the use of batteries and other materials quality is class A material may not be present on the market with large numbers of poor waste batteries and notebook batteries battery conversion, this seemingly cheap products are actually profits products, and great damage to the laptop.

As the laptop battery life and the characteristics of after-sales warranty, so buy a Dell  laptop battery can not just purchase price, but look at the total cost of ownership. Such as buying a three-month battery warranty, the price is $50  to buy a one-year battery warranty, the price is $70, the former will be much greater than the total cost of the latter with the total cost.

Warranty difference:

1 In general, genuine  laptop battery can be used to protect the basic performance of the year.
(2) the product warranty for six months or three months, because of its batteries, using relatively inexpensive materials, and omitted critical testing procedures, and, no complete incoming, process, ship detection and control processes and equipment, so only vague promises warranty three months or six months.
3 year warranty for the promise, how to identify genuine and fake it?
A. see if there is clear written terms of quality assurance, and specific provisions are written to the client.
B. Is there a formal business qualification
4. A company can only do one product. Therefore, if a company can provide warranty for three months, six months, one year of product, it is likely that water quality and the commitment is there. Because, to do a three-month product warranty and one year product warranty to do the purchasing, quality control processes are very different, so the product quality control system for three months and do a year of product control system different. When you request is likely the product warranty for one year, I get a three-month warranty or product, but many customers to pay more money.

Laptop battery in use after a period of time will be "aging", the specific resistance performance is larger, smaller capacity. So how can we extend the battery life of it? Beijing HP notebook repair teach you to activate the battery trick: 
In the boot when charging, if we can select the charge mode, do not choose fast charge mode (Expresschargemode), to avoid premature battery "full." There is a time of low battery prohibit the use of the highest CPU performance in order to reduce the power of the competition. If the laptop's CPU to support SpeedStep technology, it is best to install the driver (responsible manufacturers are installed) to facilitate the adjustment performance.SpeedStep program icon is a blue flags, it can occur right-click performance tuning options. In the WindowsXP system, SpeedStep program will be problems, this time to modify the BIOS parameters, or to rely on a number of brand-specific conditioning program. 


Discharge of lithium or always-on, let the natural discharge better. Best not to use physical methods (string of resistors and the like). This is not to say no, but the risk is relatively large, if the internal protection circuit was not working, then the Dell Inspiron 1545 battery on the void, and the worst is probably the battery explosion, of course, this is unlikely. Circuit hidden dangerous is not impossible, some big companies have found that the design of the potential risk factors and a battery recycling, as when cell phone battery explosion is not heard of. 


These are the some tips to activate the battery, the laptop battery if you have a problem, please follow the above method, if the role or not, you will need to replace a new battery.

How maintenance Dell laptop battery should be right?This problem has plagued many loyal users of laptop computers, including me.

After reviewing some information, the opportunity recently consulted a professional in the electrochemical PhD and a well-known domestic battery, deputy director of the Institute. Now a number of recently acquired knowledge and experience to write out, to satisfy of you readers.


And deep charge-discharge lithium-ion battery can improve the actual capacity?

Experts clearly told me that this is meaningless. They even said that the so-called three times before use full charge and discharge of the "active" in both of them, Dr. knowledge in, could not understand what this is necessary. Why do so many people, however, after the deep charge-discharge capacity Battery Information in the label will change it? Will be mentioned later.

Notebook computer lithium-ion batteries are generally with management chip and charge control chips. Management chip in which a series of registers, there is capacity, temperature, ID, charge status, discharge frequency values. These values ​​are in use will gradually change. Personally, I think, in notebook computers for use in "one month after the full charge and discharge should be a" major role in the practice should be the correct value of these registers in the wrong, making the Dell laptop battery charge control and battery nominal capacity consistent the actual situation.

The main charge control chips control the battery charging process. Lithium-ion battery charging process is divided into two phases, constant current fast charge phase (the battery indicator light yellow) and reduced voltage current phase (the battery indicator light flashes green. Constant current fast charge phase, the battery voltage gradually rises to the standard battery voltage, then under the control chip into the constant voltage phase, the voltage will not rise to ensure that no over-charge, current battery, along with the rising gradually weakened to 0, and the final charge.

Statistics chip power consumption by recording the discharge curve (voltage, current, time) can calculate the sample battery, this is what we read about in the Battery Information wh. Value. The lithium-ion battery in the repeated use, the discharge curve may change, if the chip has been no opportunity to read a complete discharge curve, the calculated power is not accurate. So we need to calibrate the battery charge and discharge of deep chips.

Finally, my battery maintenance view is:

1. No need to make sure that each time a release is finished re-charge;

(2) a period of time to do a protection circuit placed under the control of deep charge battery to correct statistics, but it will not improve your battery's actual capacity.

3 long-term without the battery, should be a cool place to weaken its own internal passive reaction speed.

4 protection circuit is also able to monitor the laptop battery self-discharge, long-term without the battery, the battery must be filled to prevent the battery self-discharge in storage in the discharge of excessive lead to excessive damage.

In fact, the battery is not too much to take into account the use of attention, in other words is taken into account there is not much use. How many times a cell can use, perhaps more from differences in the manufacture of the battery itself, the individual differences, rather than use. Choose a good reputation notebooks, battery life is undoubtedly the future of long life protection.

1. to avoid high temperature
Some friends think that the batteries do not give up on one side as far as possible, or not to pull the power plug, so you can directly reduce the charge and discharge times, to achieve the Dell laptop battery's "longevity." In actual fact, the relevant professional tests, we can find that the Dell Laptop battery capacity due to their own and the surrounding temperature is too high and secretly slip away Oh!
Test, 100% charge state of the battery temperature can reach 60 ℃, long-term maintenance of this state three months after the battery capacity fell by 40%. Undoubtedly, the high temperature accelerated the decline in battery capacity, so we at room temperature until the battery is fully charged, unplug external power supply as soon as possible to reduce the temperature of the battery itself, to avoid excessive loss of battery capacity.

2. Mo exhausted
Because lithium-ion battery memory effect small enough to be negligible, so their damage is not too great charge halfway. In contrast, BIOS and external discharge light bulbs and other over-discharge (full discharge) method, tested harmful. In general, the lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries do not have to wait until the big friends go at 0% charge.

3. anti-high
In addition, the process of Hp laptop battery is also particularly important to stabilize the voltage. Users should avoid the notebook's power adapter and power appliances (such as air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines) connected to the same outlet.
The reason is simple, high-power electrical appliances on or off instantly when the pressure will form and lead to damage to the battery, so thunderstorms should also try to avoid charging the battery. Optional conditional friends UPS devices (uninterruptible power supply, can provide sustained, stable and uninterrupted power supply), allowing users to have plenty of time to cope with a sudden situation.

4. charge and discharge method
Front of the charge and discharge method, mainly for users who frequently use the laptop battery. Office of the white-collar workers and some imprisoned, but more often work directly with an external power supply. But the front said, the laptop battery when not in use will appear consumption, and its power consumption without knowing the level of indiscriminate charge, with small series that might as well consider the battery to change the threshold to extend its life.

Threshold, a field or the boundaries of a system known as the threshold, its value as threshold. Charge threshold that we set their own starting and ending point of the charge in the external power supply constantly open the case, the battery remaining capacity will be based on the situation to start or stop charging.
In general, long-term use of Acer laptop battery cases, battery charging start value should be set to 96%. Because the battery is fully charged due to the phenomenon of self-discharge, the battery capacity fell to 96% normally required for a lasting about 50 days or so, just about equal to half of each discharge and charge order interval.

But if you often need to live in the office and equipment back and forth between the AC adapter and battery-powered switch frequently between the words, you should start value is set to charge 6%, reduce the charge can be avoided with increase the number of charge cycles, and shorten the life of the battery.
Note:
1. charge threshold, or only comes later in the installation of the battery management software, operating conditions and effective;
2. charge-termination charge than the initial percentage of the high percentage of at least 4%;
3. due to battery aging, generally charging threshold set higher than the ideal value of 2%;
4. when the charge to stop a percentage less than 100%, please once every three months on 100% battery charge (usually try to avoid the battery is fully charged and fully discharged).
Routine Maintenance Tips
1. regular defragging
Regularly defragment the hard disk can improve file access speed, will to some extent, extend battery life. Of course, the defrag in the case of using AC for yo! At the same time, defragmentation is not for the hard disk light on the torture, so the refresh rate is best once a month.
2. dim your display
Currently, the dominant use of the LED and LCD display, LED low power consumption characteristics of their own, I believe the next will soon become the mainstream notebook display selection. But even if the LED LCD, its power is still there, so dim the display properly on in life as well as eye protection point of view, are very helpful.
3. shut down some background programs
Since many users do not want to be "superfluous" to open certain programs, so whether or not often use that are often set it as the default boot entry. In fact, these "extra" programs are quietly carving up battery power. Small lithium charge is not easy, we still good to her little, ha ha!
Well, more approachable method of
Dell Laptop battery maintenance of the basic divisions in the paragraph here. There may be a friend asked: "Why do the most basic, the method to correct the BIOS did not mention it?" The interpretation of this small series, this is not self-denigration that users can not learn, but at heart felt that "excessive" maintenance of little significance.
The original is a faster replacement notebook technology consumables, such as to comply with requirements of the times, a little also requires the user must have two or three years can tolerate. As for the books enthusiasts, the event will short more tolerable not to mention.

Laptop playing for many years, access to the machine is not small, a lot of experience, the other does not show oneself in front of the master. Today is to remind everyone to ignore a problem, the Dell Laptop battery consumption.

Damage to battery operation you look it on the Internet more, nothing more than conventional

1, the regular charge and discharge
2, use inferior charger
3, high-temperature environment for a long time operation
4, the battery is connected with high load peripherals plug is not standardized.
5, the transition charge and discharge (now has a protection circuit, but the occasional occurrence)
Today I wish to highlight that, and the most do not pay attention to the point:

On the bed, sofa and other media not to take the air using the contact is very, very easily lead to cell loss, this is the moment of injury, usually resulting in cell loss, but a few percent to more than a dozen, but it is the small errors, damage began, had to use 2-3 years the battery may want to change the batteries a few months it becomes a (severe cases).

In order to verify his guess, Dad just bought a new laptop, use this to test (because there are bad battery warranty ah).

Boot the machine with less than a month, check the battery, loss 0%

So the first night, full of power, play movies on the bed pillow, for fear of "the consequences are too serious harm to other parts of the" blank space for a little heat, about 2 hours later, the machine is not too hot. Once fully charged, a check, all right Oh.

Is it likely the problem, did not give up the next day to continue to try, but also two novels, a check or nothing.

Well, not special blank position on the third day heat, the laptop on the bed as normal. We guess what the result? Finally met, loss of 11 %.....

At this time, do not know is excited or worried about, in addition to immediately prepare the warranty card (of course tomorrow to repair you). Another is that some people will pay attention to the effect that is not fully closed (or closed lid standby mode) on a bag , I also tried once, the machine heat death, but fortunately not bad, but the battery definitely suffer. I can not wait to put these issues reflected. Many experts may disagree, although many manufacturers use the note reminds notebook cooling problems, as it will cause crashes or hardware problems,

And on the bed with or package is not put off the problem indirectly by heat, but did not specify.

I summarized from

1, on the number of poor conductor of heat on the use of laptop (such as the bed of towels, pillows),

2, is not completely shut down on a bag, laptop continue to work, heat, but the bag is unable to drain away the heat.

Laptop heat may not lead to crashes or hardware failures, but the Dell Laptop battery has been given in an instant loss of the. And according to my experience, the probability is very high.

The extent of loss and exposure to media, is close to the battery position, the heat situation, but denied that this behavior does not cause the battery to a very high probability of normal wear and tear, and this is our habit of using one.

Perhaps there are some laptop users are beginning to understand why the laptop is still quite common to use attention, but the new battery or loss quickly. Some because it is over the 2 years, so that is normal.

In fact, recall, the real beginning of a particular loss is not normal use.

I write not to be alarmist, on the one hand is used to remind you note, to refrain from corrupt temporary convenience (especially the girls, they do not know most of depletion of the battery, just do not know why the shorter the more you use laptop battery. )

Attention to what other manufacturers also hope, with special techniques to test, if indeed there is the risk (probability problems), to remind consumers, the use of which mention the battery is also a good protection, the Dell Laptop battery can be used longer (a little less batteries) is also a little contribution to the earth bar.

If you have the same experience or different views, welcome to explore.

Laptop batteries normally offer a predetermined number of charging cycles and are continuously losing a minute portion of their charge. As a lithium-ion battery sits unused inside a computer, running off the AC adapter, the computer heats up. The hotter it gets the more quickly the battery discharges. If the battery remains inside the laptop while constantly running off AC power, it is in a constant state of charging and discharging, needlessly eating up precious charges. It may be possible to recondition the battery and gain more charging power.

          * 1

            Unplug the AC adapter from the comp

Dell XPS M1330 Laptop Battery

uter. Run your Dell XPS M1330 Battery power solely. Let the battery drain completely until the computer turns itself off.
          * 2

            Keep your Dell laptop turned off for 10 to 15 minutes. Do not connect the laptop to AC power during this time.
          * 3

            Turn your Dell laptop back on using the power button. Do not connect the laptop to AC power still. Allow the computer to turn itself off again, which should take less than 10 minutes, at which point the battery will be fully discharged.
          * 4

            Plug your Dell laptop back into AC power, with the battery still inside the computer. Charge the battery until the battery indicator in the System Tray--in the lower right hand corner of the computer's display screen--shows it is fully charged. Charge the battery for an additional 30 minutes after the indicator shows it's fully charged.
          * 5

            Repeat the entire process three more times--possibly taking several days--at which time the Dell XPS M1330 Battery will be completely reconditioned.
          * 6

            Download a laptop battery monitoring software application to keep track of your battery's charging and discharging cycles and overall performance (there is one in the Resource section). Double-click the application icon once downloaded to launch the installer. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the install.


Tips & Warnings

    *

      Recondition at night to allow plenty of time and to avoid interrupting the process.
    *

      Once a battery has been reconditioned, allow the Dell XPS M1330 Battery to discharge fully each time before charging it again. Otherwise, reconditioning may have to be repeated every two to four months.
    *

      If the battery is not being used, keep it in a cool place. Laptop computer manufacturers recommend that batteries are kept cool--around 60 degrees Fahrenheit--to prevent premature discharging.
    *

      Never attempt to cool a laptop battery by placing it in the refrigerator or freezer. This can damage the battery.

Inspiron is a line of laptops manufactured and developed by Dell. Just like other laptops, you may experience battery problems, especially if you have used the device for a significant amount of time. Several factors such as overheating and using an incompatible AC adapter may result in battery damage.

* 1

Attempt to fully charge the Dell Inspiron 6400 battery 4400mAh. Plug the power adapter into the laptop and allow the battery to charge overnight.
* 2

Turn the Dell Insprion laptop off. Unplug the laptop from the power adapter.
* 3

Flip the laptop upside down so the battery is visible. The battery is located on the underside of the laptop.
* 4
AAPCK099921.jpg
Slide the battery lock switch and hold it in place. Lift the battery upward for removal. Once removed, release the battery lock switch.
* 5

Examine the battery. Look for signs of damage to the battery. If you notice any damage, the battery must be replaced.
* 6

Clean the Dell Inspiron 6400 battery 4400mAh contacts. Dip a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol and clean the battery contacts and the contacts inside the battery bay to remove dust.
* 7

Check the battery charge. Press the "Status" button on the back side of the battery. It has five lights that will display how charged the battery is. Five lit lights indicates a full charge, one lit light indicates a low charge and no lit lights indicates the battery has no charge. If the battery has no charge, it is dead and needs to be replaced. If the battery does indicate it is partially or fully charged, continue troubleshooting.
* 8

Recalibrate the Dell Inspiron 6400 battery 4400mAh. Place the battery back in the laptop. It will just pop into place. Turn the computer on and allow the computer to run on battery power until the battery dies. Once the battery dies, plug the power adapter into the computer and allow the battery to fully charge again. Remove the battery and check the battery charge. If it still has not fully charged, you need a new battery.

Tips & Warnings
*

If the battery is still not charging, you can try to flash the BIOS. Flashing the BIOS is only recommended for certain systems and involves downloading and running information on your computer. If you are unsure how to do this, seek help from a professional or follow the steps from Dell (see Resources).
