Take care of your battery
Von laptop, 04:35Optimal care of the battery can for some people to buy an extra battery superfluous, or at least postpone. That Li-ion batteries after two to three years to noticeably lose capacity, is only a rule of thumb. If a DELL Studio 1537 battery lasts a year or five years depends on the careful processing and the use and the temperature. Chemical modification of the electrolyte and oxidation of the electrodes according to experts, the main cause of aging.
Which battery is processed as allowing it not the customer. The case of notebook batteries we have in recent years, large differences in life span seen in devices from different manufacturers – which holds as long battery, you do not know in advance. On the manufacturing side there is a low profile and take the Dell XPS M1730 battery out rather from the appliance guarantee or is a shorter warranty period.
Despite this unsatisfactory situation can work against the limits of battery users in aging. If the battery in the laptop is not needed, it should be stored externally, for the notebook the housing is the worst possible place of storage: the warmer the Dell Latitude D520 battery, the faster it ages. Depending on the notebook model, the housing is heated considerably during operation.
Care
You should charge the battery for half of the best in the refrigerator – not in the freezer. One of the advantages of lithium ion batteries is their low self-discharge of a few percent per month compared to about Nickelmetallhydridzellen. It is therefore sufficient to charge the battery when not in use every few months. Basically, it brings because of aging even with optimal storage bit, buy a battery in stock.
Unfortunately wobble after removal of the battery for a few notebooks, because then as a stand because the Dell Latitude E6400 battery is missing or needed as a counterweight to the folded-up display – a no longer functioning battery in this case prefer not to dispose of.
Around the extension of battery life and battery life, the company has knitted Battery Life his business idea: a dark film called Activator is old batteries in cell phones and laptops into shape. Nanocrystals are using body radiation ions reduce deposits on the electrodes, the imaginative explanation. Battery Life promises “… up to 30% longer standby time, …, up to 30% longer battery life. ” A minimum requirement does not promise the producers.
We went to the test and took three old laptops to the test: Asus L8400 49-Wh battery in 2001, Dell Inspiron 1520 battery from the same year and Asus P6300 with 58-Wh battery, established in 1998. Over a period of one to two months, were performed first 7-9 cycles without foil, then 12-16 measurements with glued foil. Per day than there was a charge cycle.
Averaged over all measurements in each case without and with film, we have seen within the measurement accuracy of no effect: The average duration of the Asus L8400 remained at 81 min, the deteriorated Apple PowerBook slightly from 43 min to 41 and the Asus P6300 was 169 min and 165 minutes without foil.
Our results are the expenses for Battery Life films thus a waste of money. The company is a TüV-Rheinland-study (four discharges over a 30-ohm resistor) support to the field. We can understand not. Battery life is a branch of Elito-Elektronic in Pegnitz. Elito-Electronics is currently promoting a so-called Biophotonenlinse that Biophotonenlicht “… stored in a small slice of … to harmful electromagnetic waves, which are reinforced by TV, computers and laptops, into positive. “That will probably work just as good as the battery life extension per film.
