Battery Watch

Misunderstanding 1: Laptop bought requires repeated three times in order to activate the battery charge and discharge.

Unless you buy a notebook computer is more than one year of product inventory, otherwise, need not do so, because the battery when the batteries in the factory had already been activated, the batteries in the package into a laptop battery has been a considerable time in the activation of the test, so you get the hand of the battery, has already been activated off, and do three charge-discharge process is unnecessary to increase the battery consumption.

Misunderstanding 2: The first charge must be sufficient enough for 12 hours

This early who do not have the IBM Thinkpad x200 battery control circuit of the nickel-hydrogen battery model is applicable, but for now with intelligent charge and discharge control circuit of notebook batteries is a joke, when the laptop computer after the battery is full, the charging current is automatically cut off , even if you continue to charge 120 hours, the state would not be any change, in general, even the slowest machine charge, 6 hours and fully filled, the remaining “charge” is just a waste of their time. Instead, when the new machines should get the first rechargeable battery shine.

Misunderstanding 3: The battery requires periodic calibration, the total charge and discharge once a month.

For the memory effect of a strong Ni-MH battery, this is necessary, but for the lithium battery, the cycle is too frequent, lithium battery memory effect although not completely eliminated, but has greatly reduced the memory effect, if you use the battery is frequently, then you should compare the Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch battery discharge to the low (about 10 ~ 15%), recharge, but even if the discharge to the machines they can not (0 ~ 1%), on the part of the lithium battery has a greater depth of discharge damage generally done once every 2 months, so the operation on it. If you rarely use the battery, as long as once every 3 months so the operation on it.

Misunderstanding 4: enhance the battery capacity can be corrected

The so-called correction, is when the battery’s actual capacity and the control circuit in the record of a capacity not the same as when the battery charge and discharge operation for a deep and, the record control circuit to near the battery realities that yes a real Rongliang Biaoxian battery operation rather than boost capacity key factor here is the actual capacity of the Dell Vostro 1710 battery if the battery’s actual capacity than the control circuit, the capacity to record high, correction can make the battery appear to increase the capacity.

If the battery’s actual capacity than the control circuit the capacity to record low, the correction will reduce the capacity of the battery looks, which is why many people debating the causes of calibration results, remember that the true correction is to make the battery capacity shown by the elimination of between battery and control circuit deviation, as demonstrated by the increase or decrease capacity, which is the state of the battery itself, rather than determined by your correction. Because the correction is likely the battery discharge when the depth of damage, but significantly decreased capacity.

Misunderstanding 5: compatible battery charger can also be used

Notebook power consumption is much larger than cell phones, the most extreme cases, the power required to charge the battery while the machine running at full speed and meet the required power supply, notebook computers generally do not have a compatible charger, as each type of voltage, current, or even interfaces are different, can be common in a variety of Notebook “compatible charger” is likely more expensive than the original charger, the same interface, even if the voltage and current below the nominal value of machinery, machine working at full speed when the Dell Inspiron 1420 battery may not be able to obtain sufficient charge current, which is a great damage to the battery.

If the voltage and current much less than the nominal value, and even found it impossible to boot or will boot but will not charge, so choose the best time of the power to choose and Original the same, it can not find it, please note that a certain voltage and current To meet the machine nominal value of different product interfaces with the factory generally the same, but the voltage and current may be different, this must pay attention!
