My Experience Using The DELL Inspiron B130 battery
Von laptop, 04:06Two month ago, my DELL Inspiron B130 battery failed after its 1 year warranty. So I should buy a new one for my coming holiday in Hawaii. Now I will never shopping in Ebay or Amazon. As you know you buy someone there, and no guarantee of the product, also the money refund is impossible. And you can not cancel the order. So I decide use my paypal to buy the DELL Inspiron B130 battery.
I searched the DELL Inspiron B130 battery in google and found search resault. Then I click some of them, after long time comparison I order a battery from http://www.laptopbatteriesinc.com.au/ as Its price and 30 days money back and one year quality warranty. After 7days I recevied the battery and below is my battery using experience:
I was getting three red flashes and one green flash continuously on the battery light on the lower right side of the lid which according to the manual means defective battery which turned out to be true. I trashed the cheap Dell Inspiron 6400 battery (which I noticed was rated at 5200 ma vs the rating of 7200 on the Amazon battery)because I did not save the receipt. I am thrilled with this battery which is giving me about 3 hours before needing a charge, and charges to 100% overnight with no problem.
It works well with my BI30. I got 4 + hours out of this per charge. Saw some other people having problem with recognizing the batteries. When I was doing research for purchasing a replacement Latitude D620 Battery, I came across a lot of discussions online about Dell laptop not recognizing batteries. I wonder if that is a common issue with Dell. Luckily, mine has no problem. :) Everything is good. As long as it can last 1 year or so, It would be worth the money spent.
Tips to optimise your notebook batteries are described in the following:
It is a good investment to add more memory to your laptop as it saves battery power by reducing Windows’ dependence on the virtual memory swap file on your hard disk.
It is better to keep your laptop on standby mode when not in use for certain amount of time. Standby mode ensures all current info is saved in RAM with minimum consumption of battery power.
Charge your laptop battery frequently with a battery charger or AC adapter. It is very important to clean your battery’s metal contacts every couple of months to make it dust free. You can use a cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol to clean your laptop battery.
Try to set the screen brightness of the LCD panel of your laptop to the lowest comfortable level as very bright screen tends to consume more power from your battery.
Similarly it is better to get rid of the outer peripherals such as printers or digital cameras as they can still draw power from your laptop battery even when they are not used.
Turn of the unused features and technologies of your laptopo which are not frequently usable. For example, it is better to eject the CD or DVD when you are not using them as the optical drive has the tendency of reading CD or DVD it finds very often and this process consume extra battery power.
