Power Laptop Batteries Care Guide

Lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion) have several advantages over other types of chemistries, namely they don’t exhibit a memory effect, there is no need for preventive maintenance and it can keep it’s charge while not in use for a much longer time. It’s main disadvantage is aging. All Li-ion Asus A32-F3 Laptop Batteries age with time and use, so that their is a noticeable drop in capacity after it’s first year of use and batteries typically fail before their third year of use. Similarly, a Dell Inspiron 1520 Laptop Battery will typically be only useful for at least 200 cycles.

Avoid Long-Term StorageLithium-ion batteries are meant to be used. Because of their internal chemistry, all Lithium-ion batteries have a protection circuit that doesn’t allow the voltage to drop below a certain level. If stored for too long (typically more than 6 months without charge) the protections circuit will not allow further charge on the Acer as07b72 battery, rendering it useless. It is recommended to charge your battery every 3 months if not actively in use. For safety, avoid leaving the battery on a charger connected to the AC outlet.
Recharge as NeededLithium-ion batteries don’t need to be fully discharged to prolong their battery life, in fact, frequent recharges are better for the battery than deep discharge-charge cycles.
