Digital battery

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. If you need to run completely out of the battery in the specific practice is as follows: In the box Power Management dialog, select the battery is empty feeding particular, all 3 of its ongoing options batteries are fixed forever, this laptop on the run to continue. Select mode, then enter the Alerts tab, lift the battery low and critical battery Warning check box is a check mark (yes, when the battery is low, the machine will not go into the suspended state). Then leave the computer running the CPU time of tasks, such as the computer automatically perform a number of computational complexity of the 3D demo program, so running out of Aspire 3000 battery remaining, of course, these disposal N Do not forget to unplug the AC plug.

 

(8) How to calibrate the battery to the battery to achieve the best performance, certain models of laptop offers a calibration function of the battery, the first use of batteries can be used to calibrate the battery for this feature. Calibration procedures are exhausted supply, then re-filled with electricity, which allow Windows battery gauge to monitor the battery status correctly. Calibrating the battery, follow these steps.

 

(1) Into the laptop ac adapter.

 

(2) Restart the laptop, the startup screen appears, press F2 to enter the BIOS program.

 

(3) In the BIOS program, select Exit point, then select BatteryAuto-Learning option.

 

(4) Press the Enter key, select BatteryAuto-Learning (which will appear in front of a “√“, “number).

 

(5) Select Exit SaveandExit Project to save your settings and exit the BIOS.

 

(6) The system will reboot and start the calibration of the laptop battery.
