Digital battery

Lithium-ion battery circuit protection includes over-load protection, more protection against overcurrent / short circuit and over-discharge protection, and requires great precision charging protection, protection IC with low power consumption electric volt high-voltage and zero batteries and other features. This paper describes the principle of the three protection circuits, new functions and features required.

 

In recent years, PDAs, digital cameras, cell phones, portable audio devices and Bluetooth products get more and more use of lithium batteries as main power. Li-ion Laptop battery has a small size, high energy density, no memory effect, the high cycle life, high-voltage batteries and the advantages of low self-discharge rate, and nickel-cadmium batteries in nickel metal hydride are not the same lithium batteries must consider the charge and discharge of security so as to prevent deterioration characteristic. To overload the lithium battery, over discharge, over current protection and short-circuit is very important is usually the design of the battery circuit protection to protect Li-ion battery.

 

Because lithium high energy density-ion battery, it is difficult to ensure the safety of the battery. In the most charged, the battery temperature increases after the excess energy, so the decomposition of the electrolyte produced gas because of the internal pressure of the danger arising from the spontaneous combustion or broken on the contrary, over-discharge state, due to the decomposition of the electrolyte causing the Dell Inspiron 5150 battery characteristics and the degradation of sustainability, thus reducing the number of charge cycles.

 

Lithium-ion battery circuit protection is to ensure that this excess charge and discharge state of security and to prevent deterioration characteristic. Lithium-ion battery circuit protection is protected by the CI and structure of two power MOSFETs, including the protection IC for monitoring the battery voltage when there is excessive charges and the discharge state to pass the order to fill the power MOSFET to protect the battery, protect the functions of the IC during the load protection, over-discharge protection and protection against overcurrent / short circuit.

 

1, an overload protection

 

The principle of over-charge protection IC as follows: When an external charger for lithium battery, when, to avoid a temperature rise caused by increased internal pressure must end the state of load. At this stage, the need to test the hp 417066-001 battery voltage to protect IC when the time comes to 4.25V (assuming that the point of overcharging 4.25V) which activate the over-load protection, the MOSFET power to cut through the opening and closing the load.

 

In addition, attention must also be the result of excessive noise generated by the perception of dysfunction detected if determined to be overload protection. Therefore, the need to adjust the delay and time delay can be shorter than the noise.

 

2, over-discharge protection

 

In the case of excessive discharge, the decomposition of the electrolyte in case of damage caused by the characteristics of the battery and cause a reduction in the number of charge cycles. Protection of lithium-IC with on-rejection phenomenon can be avoided to protect the battery.

 

Over-the principle of discharge protection IC: To avoid excessive sony VGP-BPS2A battery status at discharge, assuming that the lithium battery connected to the load when the voltage of the lithium battery is less than the highest - point of discharge voltage detection (assumed to be 2.3V) will activate the over-discharge protection, so that the power MOSFET transition from open-cut and the threshold of discharge, to avoid battery-phenomenon discharge, and keep the battery low quiescent current in standby mode, yet current 0.1μA.

 

When the lithium battery is connected to the charger and the battery voltage lithium is greater than this period of excessive discharge voltage, over-discharge protection is lifted. In addition, taking into account the conditions of discharge pulse, excessive discharge detection circuit with time delay to prevent malfunction.

 

3, the current and short-circuit current

 

For unknown reasons (discharge or negative by metallic objects inadvertently) caused by over-current circuit or short to ensure security, you should immediately cease its discharge.

 

Terms runway Principles of protection against overcurrent IC, when the discharge toshiba PA3399U-1BAS battery current is too large or too short occurs, the protection IC is turned off (short circuit) current protection, over current detection at the moment is to power MOSFET’s Rds (on) as a sensor monitoring the impedance voltage drop in the case, if the ratio set by the voltage-current detection is higher when the discharge stopped, the formula is:

V = I × Rds (on) × 2 (V-for over-current detection voltage, I is discharge current)

Suppose V = 0.2V, Rds () = 25mΩ, and protect the current size of I = 4A on

Similarly, too much time current detection delay should also be provided to prevent current flow generated when there are unexpected failures.

Usually, after the election of overheating if they can remove the excess current factors (such as the charge immediately and out) will resume its normal state, may proceed with the normal load, the discharge action.

 

4 new protection features of the lithium-IC’s

 

In addition to the protection feature of the lithium IC attention the following new battery features is also interesting:

a. Charging over-current protection

When connecting the charger suddenly aware (as the charger is damaged), on-circuit current detection immediately, this time from top to bottom Court, the MOSFET power to cut the open position for protection.

V = I × Rds () × 2

(I is the load current; Vdet4 on voltage-current detection, Vdet4 to-0.1V)

 

b. Overcharge when the lock mode

Usually protect the IC in the over-charging protection will be after a period of delay time, and then it will cut the power MOSFETs to achieve the goal of protection when the battery voltage lithium dropped in points Lifting (hysteresis voltage overload), when it will resume once again continue to impose protection →Discharge charge discharge. Security issues in this state will not be able to get an effective solution, lithium batteries will always repeat the charge discharge →Action load discharge gate MOSFET power will be repeated alternately at high and low voltage state, which could make the MOSFET heater but it also reduces the battery life, if the lock mode is very important. If the circuit of the lithium battery protection detects over-protection mode load locked, IC will not get hot, and the relative security has improved considerably.

In the over-load protection, simply plug the battery charger, the charging time will be entered into lock mode. At this stage, even if the voltage drops of the lithium battery can not produce the recharge of the situation, remove and connect to load and unload the load can be restored condition.

 

c. Reduce the size of the circuit protection component

Will overload and short circuit protection with an integrated capacitor delay for the protection of the IC inside to reduce the size of circuit protection components?

 

5, the protection requirements of IC performance

 

a. Overload protection, high accuracy

When the lithium-ion battery charging excessive state to avoid a temperature rise caused by increased internal pressure required for the threshold state of charge. Protection IC detects the cbattery voltage, when the overcharge is detected, then detection of over-charging power MOSFETs in order to cut the load threshold. At this point should be noted that over-voltage detection burden of high precision, battery charging, battery to a state is a danger of the user, taking into account security issues and should enable the voltage when the threshold state of charge. To simultaneously satisfy these two conditions, there must be a detector of high precision, accuracy of 25mV current detector, the accuracy will be improved.

 

b. In order to reduce IC power consumption to protect

With the increasing use of time was enough lithium power-voltage ion battery will gradually diminish the value of the last low specifications below, this time need to recharge. If you do not charge for continued use, may lead to excessive battery discharge Ershi is not used. To avoid too much discharge protection IC to detect the battery voltage, over-voltage detection of the landfill once they reach the following, you must cut the discharge of MOSFET power and the threshold discharge. But this time, the BATCL50L battery itself, there are still protecting the natural discharge and IC current consumption exist, therefore the need to protect the IC power consumption to a minimum.

 

c. Protection against overcurrent / short-circuit the need for low-voltage detection and precision requirements

Short circuits due to unknown causes must immediately stop selling them. Over-current detection is based on power MOSFET RDS (on) for the impedance of induction to follow the voltage drop of blood at the time when compared with a voltage-current detection is also high at namely, to stop selling them. To MOSFET’s Rds (on) in the current charge and discharge current is the effective use of time is needed for the impedance as low as possible, at present the impedance is approximately 20mΩ ~ 30mΩ, if the voltage-current detection may be lower.

 

d. Resistant to high voltage

Battery and charger to connect the instant the pressure will be generated if the protection must meet the requirements of high voltage IC.

 

e. Low VGP-BPS2B battery consumption

In the protection of the state, its current consumption of 0.1μA rest must be small.

 

f. Zero-Volt Rechargeable

Some batteries may be stored in the process because it takes too long or unusual causes of tension as low as 0V, and therefore need to protect the IC can be achieved when 0V load.

 

6, the protection IC Prospect

 

As mentioned previously, the future protection of integrated circuits should further enhance the detection voltage accuracy and reduce current consumption to protect and improve the CI function to prevent malfunctions and so on, and the charger to connect the terminal High voltage is also the focus of research and development. In the package, at present has been a gradual shift SOT23-6 package SON6 the future, there are CSP package, even COB products to meet the requirements highlighted in a word, light.

 

In functions, protect the IC does not require integration of all functions, according to different materials, to develop a single lithium Dell Latitude D830 battery protection IC, the coverage only if overloaded or over-discharge protection, which can significantly reduce the cost and size.

 

Of course, the functional components is a single crystal of the same goals, such as manufacturers of mobile phones today have been directed towards protecting the IC, charging circuit and power management IC, and other peripheral circuits and logic is a two chip chipset, but rather of power MOSFET’s open reduction of impedance of the circuit is difficult to integrate with other IC, even if it is made of a special single-chip technology, I fear the cost is too high. Therefore, protection of single crystal integrated circuits should take some time to resolve.

Have you ever thought one day that the battery will be a paper thin, there is the tenacity to do? It is the dream of many scientists because it can greatly reduce the battery weight and volume of the corresponding electrical appliances. Recently, the University of Uppsala, Sweden Milan Yan and his colleagues have developed an essence of this paper is a new Laptop battery. It is lightweight, slim body, but it is not applicable to devices every day, but it has stores and the airport can be applied to the monitoring. The reason the battery is essentially a paper because it is mainly composed of cellulose.

The researchers stressed that the battery is based on electrochemical principles developed. Each cell has two electrodes immersed in the electrolyte. Typically, the anode of lithium-ion battery cathode carbon cobalt oxide, lithium, lithium salt containing electrolyte compared to the organic solution. When charging the hp 371785-001 battery, electronics will be sucked into the cathode, causing lithium-ion to leave the cathode in the anode. Battery discharge, the process of ion movement is exactly the opposite.

 

Milan-yen, the American Chemical Society Journal, “Nano Letters” (Nanoletters) a detailed description of cellulose on the battery. Cellulose is an essential component of paper, mainly from trees or cotton, made in the years mentioned but the source of cellulose used in the experiment is different from seaweed extract them all. Milan Yan said they chose to algae because of their cellulose is thinner, which can further enlarge the surface cells, thereby improving the performance of rechargeable batteries.

 

However, as the cellulose itself is not conducive to be coated with a layer of conductive material cellulose. Milan-yen options, a polymer called polypyrrole, when immersed in the algae with cellulose are then combined to form a conductive material with good performance. Then, the Milan-Yan manufactured with this material cathode and anode of the Dell Inspiron B120 battery. As for the electrolyte, it was used, it is soaked in brine in the filter paper. Therefore, the entire structure of the battery will be a cellulose filter paper sandwiched between two electrodes in the middle, while the electrode was again placed on glass slides. Tape with electrodes of platinum wire connected with the outside world. The energy released by chemical changes have been stored in the polypyrrole. In the process of chemical reaction, molecules generally exist in two states: “oxidized” or “restored” state. To participate in a chemical reaction when the molecule is in the circuit where there will be a current is formed in a second rare, as the completion of a volt rechargeable battery and can load and unload hundreds of times without affecting its performance.

 

Milan Yan is working to commercialize the technology. Although the current situation and the algae cells can completely replace lithium-ion batteries, but may apply to some of the most appropriate devices, such as installation of equipment containing a small radio. It is noteworthy that recently, some other researchers have also created the transistor with cellulose. Milan Yan battery invention can be applied to these electronic products.

Laptops are becoming more frequent, then it is probably the most finicky of the battery, so as to provide some knowledge basis for your machine you: 1. Single lithium-ion batteries are usually rated voltage of 3.7 V 【some manufacturers nominal 3.6 V, is the same. Voltage lithium-ion operating range: 2.75 ~ 4.2V】 …

  

Notebooks are now more common, although it is probably the most finicky of the battery, so as to provide some basic knowledge to you the machine you:

 

1. Single lithium-ion batteries are usually rated voltage of 3.7 V 【some manufacturers nominal 3.6 V, is the same. Voltage lithium-ion operating range: 2.75 ~ 4.2V】, Laptop battery for several general series and parallel structures.

 

2. Currently used in models of laptops batteries: 18650 【diameter 18mm, height 65mm】 cylindrical batteries, generally rated 2000mAh. Some rated 2200mAh, this nominal level and battery manufacturers have produced a beautiful relationship.

 

3. Usually called 6-cell battery, ie two or three structures channel (voltage series are added, the total capacity in parallel), the tension is to know 11.1V, Capacity 4000mAh (or 4AH) 9 battery cell as follows: 3 strings 3 and which is, 11.1V, 6000mAh, 4-cell battery as follows: four strings, which is 14.8V 2000mAh.

 

4. As lithium-ion battery recharges volatile situation, and use lithium-ion battery circuit protection must exist (to avoid the charge, over discharge). Protection circuit directly affects the quality of the safety performance of the IBM ThinkPad T42 battery and the battery life.

 

5. Lithium-ion batteries are not able, like nickel-metal hydride batteries, or dry, as a direct serial or parallel, must be adopted before the series, the ability to compare in parallel, voltage, resistance and other parameters of electrical performance, conducted with groups. This is a group of several performance parameters of single cell battery should be no difference. Consistency of performance parameters of most direct impact on battery life.

 

6. Protection circuit comprises: an overload on-chip discharge protection, and the balance of resistance and some electronic components. Protection circuit design and component quality is also very important. Circuit protection in case of problems, the Dell Inspiron 1526 battery does not work correctly. From the battery to the hospital (Maintenance Center), the emphasis has been scrapped.

 

7. We are very concerned about: the attention of the battery

 

A battery must be charged from 12 last three-hour claim is false. There is no need to explain. Error source: mobile phone batteries.

 

B using the AC adapter is best not to disconnect the battery. Reason: The battery is fully charged, the protective role of circuit protection, power adapter current is no longer a battery, the hp 367759-001 battery has no charge. Do not pull the battery can protect your computer (a sudden power failure situation).

 

C battery temperature must not exceed 55 degrees. Do not lower than -20 degrees temperature. This range of temperatures, the battery can function correctly.

 

D battery life factors have maximum impact on the battery with differences in group performance when the single battery to protect the quality of the circuit, the battery inside the anode and cathode materials and the electrolyte. The current technology of the sony VGP-BPS2A battery is relatively mature, the last principle can be ignored.

 

Such is the life of the battery when the factory decided. However, every book of the battery is not the same.

 

8. By the way: Now that some cells are not marked “rated capacity”, but what is the subject of Wh (watt hour)

 

This may be converted there. W = V × A, which is Wh = V * A * h, Wh divided by the nominal voltage is equivalent to the capacity (Ah).

9. And then he added: Lithium-Ion batteries self-discharge phenomenon is that you use or not, he will always have a capacity of an irreversible decline. The amount of attenuation, depending on the quality of various manufacturers, not the same attenuation.

 

10. Go on GB/T18287-2000 defined above, maintaining the toshiba PA3285U-2BRS battery: long-term do not use the battery when the battery should charge around 50% of electricity storage, and every 6 months during load and unload time, and costs 50% of electricity storage. This and GJB GJB4477-2002 is the same as above.

 

11. Estimated Market Price: 1 18650 batteries about 20 yuan, a protection circuit is about $ 80 (price differences broader general, prices of 80), injection molding shell cost of about 3 yuan. Therefore, the cost of the order of 6-cell battery: 20 × 6 80 3 = 123 yuan.

 

12. Some people say that since the battery is at the heart of 18650, so I went to the market to buy some of the 18,650 batteries, replace old batteries, the battery is new it?

 

This is false. I started to think, but chatted with an electronic engineer after understanding. The protection circuit of origin in the cell performance storage chip, which is, for each of the previous capacity of battery internal resistance and other information are stored in the chip. After changing the batteries have to brush the information from memory chips to a normal battery. Brush chips are aspects of the information, I do not know much. Initially, I intended to use the apple PowerBook G4 12 inch battery in my laptop a year later, a few self-produced batteries, and obviously we need to find someone else to chip brush and working properly .

 

13. According to the development of lithium-ion battery industry is currently the largest capacity of 18650 cylindrical battery is reached (2900mAh little devils Japanese society, I hated the Japanese, I will not write the name of the Company), a small Japanese devils most companies have been suffering for more than 2600mAh. 2200mAh domestic firms still soar. Therefore, the market there are lots of laptop BATCL50L battery nominal capacity of 5200mAh ~ 5600mAh is normal, the standard 5800mAh is more upscale.

 

Also: batteries for Apple laptops have all been the use of polymer batteries (eg, dimensions can be custom made). Therefore, we examine the capacity of batteries for Apple laptops can be made, and the other to compare.

 

Here will not help Apple’s advertising, and stop there.

Laptops configured power systems, including rechargeable battery and external DC power. Power in a case, the user can use an external power supply current for laptops, in the absence of food outside the office, and can be powered with batteries. Thus, when the Laptop battery is the key to the base of the laptop, users will need extra attention to him.

 

Tip: If long-term use of external power supply, DC, you can not remove the battery to extend battery life.

 

Small knowledge: the first launch of the battery nickel-cadmium batteries (NiCd), these batteries have a “memory effect”, each charge is required before the evacuation, very easy to use, and soon found himself nickel-hydride battery metal (NiMH) replaced, NiMH Not only is there no effect “memory” and make more per unit weight of 10% of electricity. The IBM ThinkPad R51 battery most commonly used is lithium-ion battery (Li-Ion), it is also ineffective “memory, compared to NiMH per unit of weight gain more power, the price two times higher than the NiMH . In the same weight, these three types of battery that is 1: 1.2: 1.9.

 

1. Good battery usage

 

The phones today are equipped with lithium batteries, but not nickel-cadmium batteries or nickel-metal hydride batteries, as a souvenir, but if you do not or can not be fully discharged the Battery is full of a whole, so every three months on the lithium-ion battery fully charge and discharge approach is very useful. To achieve the fully discharged battery when the Dell Latitude D500 battery remaining 10% must be allowed when the system in standby mode and the prohibition of 3% in hibernation to ensure that the battery fully discharged for actual results . If Windows XP, you can enter the “Control Panel → Power → Warning” label, respectively, click on “Low battery alarm” and “a serious shortage of battery alarm” 2’s “action alert” to delete all options in and then withdrew these two options (Figure), although the shortage of battery power will not be an alert, it will allow the battery run out and eventually shut down all power .

 

In addition, if the computer is not used for a long period, the lithium batteries will be inactive for 2 to 3 weeks through self-discharge all electricity consumed, so again, it should give before using it to recharge. At this point should be charging the battery for 12 hours straight, and the complete charge and discharge the hp 417066-001 battery three times to completely wake up. If a battery of 12 consecutive hours, or after the third cycle of charge-discharge still can not pay, this means that the battery in May were already gone, usually the battery at about 300 to 400 times (400 — 600 times better special) after loading / unloading capacity of the battery is the equivalent of about 75% of the new battery.

 

Little Argument: The view above is the official views of the manufacturers written instructions, is naturally supreme notebook users point of view. However, many users have found an interesting phenomenon that so that when the battery is full, after an hour (do not pull the plug), Zaiqu laptop batteries touch, the result is close to room temperature is because the sony VGP-BPS5 battery is not charging and discharging status. In fact, the circuit of the lithium battery protection with the circuit itself, the goal is to avoid overload and low battery. When the battery is full after charging indicator light went out, the battery is not charging into electricity, and you can then plug the power plug to recharge the battery in the face of what? In this regard, it is also a forum to discuss batteries laptop most intense.

 

2. Precautions

 

To ensure the laptop battery can maintain a better working condition when in use there are some considerations.

 

(1) New bought the fully charged battery at least once a power, then the power exhausted, the second only after fully charged formally. This can not fully activate the chemical effects of lithium batteries.

 

(2) When the laptop using the AC power from the battery when it is best to avoid them, they are responsible. It can be recharged when the best off the laptop, the battery can be fully charged. Also, do not unplug the power load in half-way, and finished 30 minutes after charging before use.

 

(3) If you use the battery, booting after a few minutes, it is preferable not to take over the external power supply, but to let the battery charge runs out after them.

 

(4) Sometimes it is connected to AC power from the battery May not charge, because some providers to prevent battery over-charge cycles and deliberately designed to record, and only less than 95% when apple A1022 battery started charging. In the notebook when charging, if the watch does not cut the battery is already full AC power, because the battery power at this time may be near 80%, it is better able maintain an external power supply for about 30 minutes time-out support to ensure a fullycharged battery.

 

(5) Long term have the battery must be placed in the shade to weaken its internal autonomy, the reaction rate of passivation.

 

In fact, there is not much to take into account the use of the battery of attention to the number of times a cell can use the difference in more people from the battery itself, differences in the manufacturing process, choose the laptop has a good reputation is no doubt in the future long battery life of these guarantees.

 

3. To use the software to perform full and free

 

If your laptop for a while, it can not be filled with the battery or the battery is full can not be used at the scheduled time when you can about the need to fully discharge and recharge the battery to solve the problem. UNI home now includes laptops, including providing the discharge of the CMOS battery and charging capabilities, these operations can refer to a specific user guide to complete the action. Of course, it is necessary to install the software to achieve this functionality, the following update on the procedures with IBM ThinkPad X60 battery as an example of the battery discharge and charge description.

 

First stage: official homepage Download the updated IBM battery program, if necessary based on their own laptop models to choose the relevant procedures, or they may not be the successful monitoring of action .

 

Second stage: In Windows, double-click the downloaded file to be, according to the procedures and prompts formatted disk in the floppy disk, press the Enter key to start the production system after the startup disk.

 

The third stage: In the laptop using the case of an external power supply with this disk to restart the computer, the screen displays the words starting PC-DOS.

 

Step Four: After the boot into the system, follow the prompts to unplug the external power supply, the program will automatically discharge the battery until the computer automatically closed until the completion of the battery so the discharge operation.

 

Tip: In the discharge process on the screen there will be a percentage of progress notes, does not see the spectacle of a zero per cent to finish, and the whole process does not remove disk .

 

Step Five: Wait 10 minutes then the A1045 battery has cooled a good external power supply, the reusing a floppy disk to restart the computer, once the disk in the autoexec.bat file runs automatically update program, and prompts to continue or not. Click “Yes” to return to the DOS prompt, indicating the process of refreshing the battery is full.

 

Step Six: Turn off the computer, but do not unplug the external power has kept the battery power until the green light.

 

With this operation can be performed on the laptop battery deep discharge and charge, which can not recharge the battery to allow it to have longer working hours. However, the overall operation requires relatively long time it usually takes 6-8 hours, and this step was repeated three times for best results, so the whole process is tedious. We also remember not to attend the deep cycle BATCL50L battery for laptop or notebook batteries provide a certain extent.

How to make good use of laptop batteries, how to extend the use of time and use of living and so on, is undoubtedly the troubled mind of the majority of laptop users, a problem the use of Laptop battery. There are many methods and techniques, which requires us to use more in peacetime learning and application.

 

(A) quick access to hibernation temporarily using a laptop to save battery power, you can set the agenda for power management, allowing the system to enter sleep mode after a period of time but it is a shorter or longer will have to wait a few minutes Is there a way to make the system of the laptop immediately enter a state of hibernation? To make the system computer notepad to enter the sleep state of a fast and easy way is to directly close the display. Press the representation would require little effort, you can make notebook computers to standby mode immediately and effectively save power. When you need to reuse the time, as long as the opening screen, the system automatically returns to pre-condition.

 

(B) the screen saving mode in notebook computers TFT screen is the most important components of power, to reduce its use of the IBM ThinkPad T60 battery when the power consumption, notebook makers have developed plans ingenious, but typically are based on the brightness of the screen below, and is well off-screen mode. In some settings management of laptop power you can customize the brightness of the screen, most laptops with a shortcut keys specific adjust the brightness of the screen, typically 6 to 8-setting brightness level.

 

(C) to set energy saving desktop using alternating current, most energy saving features for laptops May importance of not being great, but need to use BATCL50L batteries for laptops The use of energy saving features should be taken seriously a. How to design computer hardware more energy efficient, not a user problem to be solved. The user can be installed on the computer of the efficient use of energy saving option. Energy saving settings require the user to set two: First, the computer BIOS setup program on energy saving in the profile settings, the most important thing is that there Energy savings in many settings of the operating system and operations. In the practical implementation of computer systems, Windows systems should outweigh the energy savings settings in the CMOS settings.

 

1. BIOS settings for energy saving in the CMOS settings, has a great “power savings”, which may choose to “Maximum Battery Life” and “Maximum Performance” and other options. “Maximum Battery Life” is the recording power default setting mode. Computer power saving mode phones in several states such as Idle, Standby (standby) mode Suspend mode suspend (sleep) mode. Laptops, these parameters were able to regulate energy consumption, mainly in computer power saving state, the timely closure of some without the use of system equipment. If the wait state, turn off the screen and hard drive, in hibernation, apart from a rigorous monitoring and the hard drive, but also the memory contents can be saved on the hard drive, basic maintenance system throughout the computer closed, once activated, or restart the computer, Dell Latitude D410 battery office will be refurbished and pre-hibernation state. The energy saving settings in the CMOS, mainly determined by mode waiting to enter standby Timeout, set to enter Suspend mode from standby to suspend time Timeout. Travel BIOS Phoenix is the most common. Energy saving various BIOS settings may be somewhat different, it should carefully read the screen.

 

2. In the energy saving settings for the average user in the Windows operating system for a better understanding of energy management can be simpler. Windows Help file in the “management hardware and software” entries, there are two laptops equipped with energy-saving elements on “Manage Energy Use” and “use of mobile machinery “in the laptop power management.” Energy saving settings in Windows, read the contents. In the Windows “Control Panel”, “power management click, you can open the” Power Management Properties “dialog box. In the” Power Management Properties “dialog should be” power management “is set to “Laptop” and reasonable settlement “system delay”, “close the Monitors”, “Turn off hard disks” and other options. Another computer can control the opportunity to have some differences, options for the new plant and the latest computer software will be easier to implement, the detailed parameters should be based on characteristics of the computer and Windows files help to complete. In addition, if your laptop integrated infrared port, no time of the ban, you can also extend the life of the laptop hp F4812A battery.

 

(D) The alarm settings are set battery alarm in time to prompt the user to record information. Is to click on Open “Control Panel”, double-click “Power” option, point “alarm” menu bar, alarm, battery low “column, Windows 98 default is 10%, “a serious shortage of battery alarm” column, Windows 98 default is 3%, which may make appropriate changes as needed. Click the [Alarm Response] button, the warning “voice” and “displays” are selected, the “power level” May of time to select. Alarm limits so that when the sony VGP-BPS5 battery is used, it will display a warning dialog and the buzzer alarm sounds to alert the user to record information about the delay. Finally click [OK] to exit the settings of power management.

 

(E) opens the energy save function in the “technology of extended laptop battery life ’section, we introduce the energy saving feature is the use of processor technology, which allows play in making the performance of battery life for portable between time to reach the best balance. Most new laptop models in both the BIOS of the processor energy saving technology have given support , is enabled by default, if not open until the Enter the BIOS will support the option to open OK. The use of third party software to monitor the condition of the toshiba PA3399U-2BRS battery only from Windows built-in features power management, there are many utilities available to monitor the battery status. For example, PowerCenter is a power monitoring tool available for free download (http://me MBers.xoom . com / TimothyBug / PowerCenter / index.htm). Only 800kb, is designed for computer software notebook services.

 

In addition to the amount of PowerCenter shows the percentage of battery, but also to show the actual time and hours of time can be used. PowerCenter total of three display types.

 

(1) FullDisplay: In the window displays detailed information, including the use of battery or AC power, the percentage of the battery and the remaining time available.

 

(2) CompactDisplay: in use is always above the window.

 

(3) MinimizeDisplay: PowerCenter reduced to make the Windows taskbar, the display of information is relatively simple. PowerCenter is also attached to a control center may be composed of six types of warning. When the apple A1175 battery? Up to a certain level, a warning time user, save the file being processed. In order not to waste electricity and CPU resources, PowerCenter to automatically detect the changes of state of the batteries.

 

(Vii) deliberately turned off the battery ran out of battery on a regular basis to ensure a full charge.
