The IBM laptop battery maintenance and storage measures–two

About the adjustment of charge Initial value

Set the initial value charge, pls click the the power plug icon in the system tray (when you use the AC Power) or the large white battery icon (when you use the battery to boot the laptop) / select “Improve Battery Health” / modify “the Start charging when below “the value .
Do not change charging set initial value in the battery management process to extend the full cycle and deliberately use substantially; because when you make charge initial value set be low(eg 80%), though with a battery AC power adapter “charge with the cycle” a period may reach to three months, when using the battery ,it is bound to have to re-activate its treatment, or the battery status and capacity are poor. That will increase the number of charge cycles and shorten the battery life. Furthermore, each battery in need of a discharge and charge order about half of month, which set a low initial value for charging (eg 80%)to extended the using period will appear meaningless.

After the Notebook computer battery fully charged,due to the self-discharged ,the power down to 96% generally will last for about 50 days, while the battery just a discharge and charge order about every month and a half, view of this, IBM’s default initial value is 96% charge is not unreasonable.

If the laptop battery leaks, how shall we do?

May 25th, 2010 admin Comments off

When some Internet users use the laptop ,the laptop often leaks ,and when touch the certain parts they feel there will be dumb, we write a solution process for your reference.

Step 1: First unplug the external power supply, use the battery power. If the leakage condition disappears, then shows the problem is ground socket,then into step 2:If it still leaks, then contact the dealer for maintenance.

Step 2: Make sure the socket doesn’t reach the ground, one of the most simple way is to test socket by the electric pen or multimeter . If the ground voltage is zero, it indicates the socket reaches the ground, then enter Step 3; exchange the socket or re-cloth ground.

Step 3: Your laptop power adapter or the insulation performance of the laotop is bad ,then we  should replace accessories. In addition, the low humidity is easy to produce the static electricity which also contributed to “shock”.

Mistakes 8: when the battery charges to 99% and can’t reaches 100%, if continue to charge , it

will explode.

The Laptop battery almost has no chance to explode,the worst thing is that its shell melts for the

heat, but rarely lead to fire.In fact, it leads by the poor process of

production and in use, leading to short-circuit , even if this short-circuit will be shut off by the protection circuit to avoid greater damage, unless it is the batteries short-circuit  before in the protection of the circuit . Instead, things like this often happens in the phone, the final analysisis the battery quality problems ,the mobile phone has a large number of poor batteries, and notebook computers almost never sell this battery, because no other models have a large to merit produce compatible battery.

The reason why the battery charges to 99% and can’t reaches to 100% which often because the battery control circuit of the records and the deviation of the state of the battery itself, the battery has not reached a record of the voltage control circuit, so power-control circuit has been charged, in fact, battery have been filled, this problem can usually be corrected for solution but even if it is not corrected does not matter, because most of the charging circuit will not disconnect automatically.

Misunderstanding 6: The laptop battery needs full power (or put photovoltaic) to be preserved

Either fully charge or shine are actually not correct, put long-term preservation photoelectric batteries will lose their activity, which even will lead to the control circuit protection self-locking and can no longer use the full power will bring long-term preservation security risks, the best save method is discharged to 40% ,then save it, the lithium battery fear of high humidity and temperature , it should be placed in a cool dry place to store, but the temperature should not be too low, otherwise the capacity will be greatly reduced, about 20 degrees Celsius is ideal for preservation temperature.

Misunderstanding 7: if battery is to die, we can also change the cells

Many people’s batteries died like this, some companies seem to long expected that many people will do like this, many brands of laptop batteries are designed with self-locking function, once the cells are out of the control circuit, the circuit will enter the self-locking state, Only use the specific means to unlock, before this the control circuit will not work, that is equivalent to scrap battery,the laptop battery cells can not be free to change the batteries, if you have to change batteries , please remember to look for specific battery maintenance company to do the job. worst.

Misunderstanding 5: the compatible battery charger can also be used

Notebook power consumption is much larger than cell phones, in the most extreme cases, the power requires to charge the battery meet the required power supply while the machine running at full speed, the notebook computers generally do not have a compatible charger, as each type of voltage, current, or even interfaces are different,”compatible laptop battery charger”  can be common in a variety of Notebook is likely more expensive than the original charger,even if the interface is same , if the voltage and current are below the nominal value of machinery,when the machine is working at full speed ,the battery may not be able to obtain sufficient charge current, which is a great damage to the battery. If the voltage and current are much less than the nominal value, or even found it impossible to boot or will boot but will not charge, so it is best to choose the power which is  the same as the Original ones, and if it can not be found, please pay attention to a certain voltage and current must meet the machine nominal value, different product interfaces with the same factory generally are same, but the voltage and current may be different, this must be noted!

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

For the Ni-MH battery which has the strong memory effect , this is necessary, but for the lithium battery, the cycle is too frequent, the lithium battery memory effect although not completely eliminated, but it has greatly reduced the memory effect, if you use the battery frequently, then you should let the battery discharge to the low (about 10 ~ 15%), then recharge, but even if the discharge to the machines can not be turned on (0 ~ 1%), which will damage the lithium battery. generally ,do this operation once every 2 months. If you rarely use the battery, as long as do the operation once every 3 months .

Misunderstanding four: calibration can enhance the battery capacity

The so-called correction is that when the battery’s actual capacity is not the same as the record of capacity in the control circuit,the battery charge and discharge a depth of operation, to control the circuit record, bringing them closer to the actual situation of the battery, which is a manifestation of the true capacity of the battery operation rather than enhance the capacity of key factors, here is the actual capacity of the battery ,if the battery’s actual capacity is higher than the control circuit volume record, correction can make the battery appear to increase the capacity, if the battery’s actual capacity is lower than the capacity in the control circuit record , then the correction will reduce the capacity of the battery looks, which is why many people are debating the reasons for correction effect, remember that the true correction is to make the battery capacity shown by the elimination between the 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 to laptop battery discharge when the depth of damage, but significantly decreased capacity.

The eight misunderstandings in the Notebook battery maintenance , do you know?–two

May 18th, 2010 admin Comments off

Misunderstanding 1: After we bought the laptop,it requires charge and discharge for three times in order to activate the battery .

Unless you buy a notebook computer which is more than one year of product inventory, otherwise, it need not do so, because the battery cells had already been activated when it is out from the factory , 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 which has already been activated off, and do three charge-discharge process so it is unnecessary to increase the battery consumption.

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

It is applicable for early control circuit that are not battery Ni-MH battery model , but for the current notebook batteries which have a smart charge and discharge control circuit, it is a joke, when the notebook computer battery is fully charged, the charge current will be automatically cut off , even if you continue to charge 120 hours, the state would not change, in general, even charging the slowest machine, 6 hours is also completely filled, the remaining “charge” is just a waste of their time. Instead, when get the new machines,we should shine the battery then charge.

The eight misunderstandings in the Notebook battery maintenance , do you know?–one

May 17th, 2010 admin Comments off

In the notebook computer, the battery is a very love-hate part. it gives the mobile ability to use  the notebook PCs, but compared to the phone and MD which continued to work frequently days or even a week , the laptop battery time remains little, If the phone’s battery can only use 8 hours, people will revile, but this results in the laptop which is already outstanding proud, to say that the component which developed slowest in notebook computer , in addition to the keyboard ,that should be the battery , so there is such a joke:

Intel is involved in supporting new battery technologies through investment and technology , “For us, in the 1990s, the lithium battery has been good enough,” Intel’s Mooly Eden, director of mobile platforms marketing, said, “to improve notebook battery is like a teenager’s relationship with sex: everyone is talking about, but no one did. ”

Battery maintenance has been a hot topic for the laptop users, but many in fact that the error inside the final analysis, comes from two aspects, one is “thinking does not keep up with the nickel-metal hydride batteries changed to lithium batteries ,” it is more Funny, from the phone, because the phone is the first contact device for most users which use the repeatedly rechargeable batteries, so will be taken for granted some habits of the phone used to extend to the notebook body.

How to calibrate the laptop battery

May 14th, 2010 admin Comments off

The Compaq and IBM laptop provide the battery calibration function in the power management or BIOS , so when you use these two brands,you can operate according to instructions . For those brands which do not provide this feature,the users can follow my steps below:

1. Set the screen saver to “None”
2. In the Windows Power Management,set the power scheme to “always open” and set shutdown equipment related to the following menu all to “never”
3. Set “insufficient power warning” of the alarm tab to 10%, the operation is set to “do nothing”; set  “a serious power shortage alert,” to 3%, operating as a “standby”
4. Set the screen brightness to maximum
5. Confirm that all the windows are closed, and save all the data before the work
6. Check that the battery charge power is more than 80%, unplug the power and all external devices, then if the screen automatically reduces brightness, so please hit it the brightest

after discharge notebook , it will automatically shut down after the power plug for laptop charging, pls note that the battery must be so completely full charged before turning on power, and then return to the power scheme settings before calibration.

Click to download: BatteryMon Chinese Version

When we buy the laptop battery, we often need to know whether it is the manufacturers Original product, the battery capacity, the longest standby time.
BatteryMon graphical approach allows us to visually see the battery performance parameters.

After put in the laptop battery and disconnect the External power, run BatteryMon and click “Start” button, you can see in the coordinate chart the decline curve of the battery.
Which vertical axis shows the percentage of current remaining battery power, horizontal shows the battery life. For more information on the left, “Total time” shows software testing out the battery is fully charged the maximum time which can be used.
Usually in 3 hours or so, it means that the battery charging performance is good.

instractions:
1. No need to install the original, direct install the finished version.
2. The finished version has been cracked program based on made of without registration.
3. Journal article the author: glacier wash sword, the original article titled: Hui “eyes” peripheral knowledge, Source: “Computer Digest” on page 65 2004.12
4. The finished version has a character in the laptop battery problems after the change garbled.
