Misconceptions about laptop batteries

                   Misconceptions about laptop batteries

      For everyone to correct the mistakes in the comparison of  laptop battery capacity, let's list several kinds of bad habits in the process of using laptop may seriously hurt the battery to see if you have the trick?

1. Do not install the battery to use the laptop

The thickness of the mainstream laptop is getting smaller, the battery also uses a built-in non-replaceable design, so the best unplug the battery when plugging in a laptop computer has basically disappeared. However, this argument is very common in the era of battery replacement, the author also found in university dormitories, not willing to install the battery using a laptop a lot of classmates. So what's wrong with this habit?

First of all, the battery is a fragile product, for the sake of protecting the battery, and unplug the battery when plugging in the laptop, this argument is not wrong. It shows that such people are very care for things, and nothing bad. However, if the battery is not used for a long time, you need to charge the battery approximately half of the charge (why is half the power? The following floor 47 users gave a detailed explanation), and need to charge the battery from time to time, otherwise if the battery is placed For too long, long-term in the absence of electricity may also hurt the battery, until you think of it when used, it is likely to appear fully charged condition. Batteries may be discarded when they are not in use, and unplugged laptops from batteries will lose their defense against power outages. Important information on running is lost and accidental power loss may damage the hard disk. On the whole, the installation of batteries to use laptop outweigh the disadvantages, it is recommended that you use the laptop or do not remove the battery.

2. often do not plug in the laptop

In addition to some of the great care of the battery reluctant to use friends, and very convenient to a class that is hard to use the user's computer batteries, I do not think the power cord, and wanting to work often use laptop battery, low battery alarm until the system was reluctantly inserted On the power supply, in fact, the use of these two types of extreme users, are harmful to the battery.

As mentioned earlier, the battery is a consumable, as long as you use the battery alone when the battery will be depleted. In general, there are limits to the number of lithium-ion batteries that can be used in the design cycle. A single charging cycle means that the battery is completely depleted but does not necessarily mean that the battery is charged once. For example, one day you might use your laptop for an hour or more and recharge it after using half the battery. If the next day is still the case, it can be counted once (rather than twice) charging cycle, therefore, to complete a charge cycle may take a few days.

So the number of cycles the battery is often used levels of computer use is an important reference factors such as the author of the MacBook Pro battery has cycled 131 times, for almost two years using a laptop, it is a relatively light Degree of use. The actual use of the battery capacity will increase with the use of the number of cycles and become smaller, which is why the longer the battery life, the shorter battery life reason. The actual size of the battery capacity, can reflect the health of the battery. For example, the author's laptop battery health is 7859/7981 = 0.98, which is 98%.

Therefore, if you often do not plug in the long-term use of laptop computers, will undoubtedly increase the number of cycles of the battery quickly to speed up the process of battery depletion, the battery life will be shorter and shorter, but will greatly reduce your laptop When selling second-hand price.

3. Use the laptop in high temperature environment

Lithium battery operating temperature is limited, in general, the operating temperature of lithium batteries are generally between 0 ℃ -40 ℃, below this temperature will lead to a drastic reduction in battery life, but the damage to the battery is not too Big. However, if the battery temperature is higher than the limit, it will rapidly exacerbate the battery loss. If the temperature is too high, it can cause serious consequences such as battery explosion.

In short, the battery is very afraid of heat. Therefore, when using the laptop in the summer, remember not to let the computer overheat, do not use the laptop in a hot environment, try to use the air-conditioned room. Otherwise, not only the battery is easily damaged, the internal components of the computer are also likely to malfunction。

On the contents of the laptop battery will be introduced to everyone here. Do not know whether we now know how to compare different battery capacity, whether to get rid of the bad habits of using laptop batteries?
