These days it’s easy to consolidate all your work and media on a high-end laptop like the Dell Latitude D620 D630. You can store endless digital text files, arrange your music library, watch movies and surf the internet all from a machine no bigger then a briefcase. While this is very convenient, it’s not very useful with an empty dell latitude d630 battery. The good news is that the Dell Latitude is so user-friendly that charging the battery is a relatively simple and straightforward procedure. All you need to do is connect an AC cable to your computer, and you are ready to go.

Instructions

When you connect the computer to an electrical outlet or install a dell latitude d620 battery while the computer is connected to an electrical outlet, the computer checks the battery charge and temperature. If necessary, the AC adapter then charges the battery and maintains the battery charge.




If the battery is hot from being used in your computer or being in a hot environment, the dell d830 battery may not charge when you connect the computer to an electrical outlet.

Turn the computer power off and make certain the laptop battery is secure in its dock. Look underneath your computer and ensure the two battery-bay latches on top of the rectangular battery compartment are locked in place.

Connect your computer to a 110-volt outlet with the dell AC adapter that came with your Dell Latitude to begin charging. It’s more efficient to charge the battery while the computer is off because it cuts charge time in half. However, you may charge the battery while the computer is powered on.

Check the battery charge by either looking at the flashing lights on the charge gauge of the battery, or if your computer is on, click on the battery icon on your computer’s taskbar. This will tell you how much time is left to reach a full charge. If the battery light on the AC adapter flashes alternately green and orange, the battery is overheating. Disconnect the dell latitude d620 adapter and wait a few moments for the battery to cool down.

recommends that you charge and discharge your dell d630 battery at least once every month. That means charge it to 100%, then use it until you get a low battery warning, then charge it up to 50%, then you can remove the battery and leave the ac adapter plugged in. Repeat this at least once a month. Before you remove it temporarily, be sure to charge it up 50% first.

Their portability and size make laptop computers a common electronic device found in homes and offices around the world. However, their batteries don’t last forever, and need to be charged often. A universal laptop adapter is the perfect tool for this task. Understanding how these handy adapters work and the types available is important in choosing the correct one for your needs.

What Adapters Do

1. When operating a laptop, constant access to an laptop AC adapter is needed. Running on battery power, a laptop will only last a few hours at best. Add the fact that a laptop’s lithium-ion battery naturally degrades faster over time and when it’s exposed to heat (something a laptop produces plenty of), and you’ll find that it needs to be plugged in almost every day. Universal laptop ac adapters provide the laptop’s power supply with the energy it needs to run the computer and charge the battery. They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to fit almost any brand of laptop computer.

Choosing the Right Adapter

2. Keep in mind that all laptops come with a proprietary dell AC adapter that plugs into the wall. When shopping for a universal adapter, you’ll see that there may be specific plug adapters to fit a wide range of computers. If you want to charge your laptop in your car, choose one with a car adapter. If you have multiple laptops, an adapter with interchangeable plug attachments will allow you to easily swap the adapter from one computer to the other.

Many universal laptop adapters offer automatic voltage switching, USB device charging and compatibility with MP3 and other portable music and video players. A quality adapter should also have an automatic shut-off safety feature if its internal temperature goes above a certain limit.

Where to Buy an Adapter

3. Universal laptop adapters are available at most big-box electronics or computer stores. Online retailers also sell a myriad of adapters and offer much more choice in features and price range. When buying online, however, keep in mind that you’ll have to pay shipping costs, and the brands are often not as well-known as the recognizable brands of adapters found at your local store.

Troubleshooting Adapters

4. Generally, laptop AC adapters don’t require much maintenance. If one stops working, however, it’s a good idea to simply buy another, as repair would cost more. Since they deal with high voltages, it’s not advisable to open an adapter and see what’s wrong. It is normal for it to get warm during normal use, but if it’s too hot to touch, consider replacing it to prevent future problems. Keep in mind that car adapters draw power directly from your car’s battery through its cigarette lighter, so don’t keep it plugged in for extended periods without running your car engine.

“Should I keep my laptop plugged in all the time?” This is a question we hear a lot from our customers and many people have different ideas on the proper answer. Some believe if you keep your laptop plugged into the dell ac adapter for too long, it can harm the battery. Others believe keeping the laptop plugged in will actually help preserve the battery. So, will keeping a laptop plugged in all the time ruin the dell inspiron 1520 battery? “Should you run a laptop battery

down every now and then?” Here’s what we’ve found while researching the issue.

Laptops almost exclusively use lithium ion batteries. These batteries are not susceptible to the memory effect that some older batteries suffer from. So the first thing you should know is that you do not have to run the laptop battery all the way down and charge it all the way back up every time you use it. These batteries are designed to withstand irregular charging habits that often accompany the use of portable electronics. When these batteries became widely used in laptops, the laptop manufacturers began building the laptop batteries and AC adapters such that, after the battery is completely charged, it stops taking a charge and the electric current from the dell inspiron 1520 adapter runs directly to the laptop to power it. This means that keeping the laptop plugged in all the time will not overcharge the battery. In fact, many manufacturers encourage users to keep the laptop plugged in as much as possible. This is because the battery will run down more, as in lose overall usability, the more the battery is relied on to power the computer.

This is where it may get a little confusing. Some people who keep their computer plugged in for a very long time try to use inspiron 1520 battery power at some point only to find that the battery does not last nearly as long as it originally did. The tendency is to place the blame on overcharging the battery, but we’ve covered the reasons why this probably not the case. What has actually happened in most cases is that the battery, as all rechargeable batteries do, has simply lost some of its runtime as a result of its age. This is an inevitable fate of any laptop battery and the dell laptop battery should be replaced if runtime is no longer satisfactory. There is little you can do to prevent this, so some people prefer to use the battery as often as possible to get their money’s worth before it dies completely.

So don’t worry about keeping your computer plugged into the dell inspiron 1520 charger as long as you need to. In fact, it may be useful to have an extra AC adapter somewhere in your house or office to allow more portability without relying on the battery. If your battery has lost a significant amount of runtime as a result of the conditions detailed above, consider purchasing a replacement laptop battery to take back your portability when using AC power is not an option.

Question : “Should keep Laptop plugged in while using it.I’m wondering what’s the best way to use my laptop and extend my battery’s life. When I’m near a power supply should i use it or run on battery and then when it’s depleted plug it in
What’s the best way I mostly use my laptop as a desktop and i want my laptop battery to never dye out,Does leaving the laptop ac adapter in a laptop damage it”

Answer: “No it does not damage the laptop in any way. It is the same when you keep a desktop computer plugged in all the time. However, remember that the ac adapter is also the charger for the laptop battery. And keeping it plugged in will not increase the life of the battery.

If you have the lithium ion battery that is common in most laptops today, you don’t have to worry about a memory effect like the old nickel cadmium batteries had to contend with. When your computer gives you a low battery warning, that is the time to charge it. You do not have to wait until the dell inspiron 1520 battery completely discharges (like with the older nickel cadmium batteries) before recharging it.

Generally speaking, most laptop batteries come with a short warranty period and are excluded from all extended warranties for a reason. That is because the life of most laptop batteries degrades noticeably after one year. This one year life is not set in stone. Some will last longer and some will last shorter. So expect to notice that, after about one year, your fully charged hp dv4 battery will require more frequent charging.

Keep your battery away from extreme temperatures as much as possible. Room temperature is ideal.

Lithium ion batteries generally age (wear out) at the same rate. However, it is the ac adapter/charger design and the number of charge/discharge cycles that can affect the aging rate. One charge/discharge cycle is charging up the battery and then using it until you receive a low battery warning indication.

Apple recommends that you charge and discharge your dell xps m1530 battery at least once every month. That means charge it to 100%, then use it until you get a low battery warning, then charge it up to 50%, then you can remove the battery and leave the ac adapter plugged in. Repeat this at least once a month. Before you remove it temporarily, be sure to charge it up 50% first.

So basically speaking, you can keep the dell ac adapter plugged into your laptop computer so that you can use it like a desktop. Just follow the suggestions above to get the most life out of your laptop battery. This is the way my wife and I do it with our laptops.”

Dell recommends: “The battery is automatically charged whenever the computer is plugged in. Dell advises that you leave the battery in the system at all times so it will retain its charge. It will not harm the battery to leave it in the system, even if you are always using the computer on AC power.”

forum.notebookreview list the Pros and Cons:
“Things to consider if:
You are removing the battery while on AC power:
Pros:
Preserves charge cycles
Keeps the laptop battery temperature lower thus slowing the aging process
Cons:
Lose the battery as backup power during power outages and voltage drops
Unsaved work will be lost and data may be corrupted without backup power
UPS (uninterruptible power supply) needed to serve as backup power source

You are leaving the laptop battery connected while on AC power:
Pros:
Battery serves as backup power during power outages and voltage drops
More convenient for “grab-and-go” use
Battery doesn’t require sufficient warming time (as it would after being stored in the refrigerator)
Cons:
Loss of charge cycles
Battery’s temperature is higher on AC power resulting in accelerated aging”

Sony VGP-BPS2C Battery are made from a grade cells and highest quality parts, the Sony laptop battery are tailored made according to the original size, whether the battery appearance, size and quality are the same as with the original. Every Sony VGP-BPS2C laptop battery should be under strict quality control including filtration and safety testing of voltage,capacity and battery core before leaving the factory, and has passed the authentication of CE, UL, EMC, CQC,ROHS, etc.

Tips for Charging a new Sony VGP-BPS2C Battery

A new battery usually comes in a discharged condition and you need to fully charge it before use. You may need to run the charge and discharge 2 to 3 times for maximum capacity of your battery before your initial use ( or the first time use after an extended storage period like 6 months)

You may notice that the first time you try to charge your laptop battery, your Compaq laptop may indicate that the charging is complete within just 10 to 15 minute. This is pretty normal with rechargeable battery. Simply remove the battery from the computer and repeat the charging procedure.

Tips for Sony VGP-BPS2C Battery Care:

1. Condition all laptop batteries regularly: fully discharging and then fully charging the battery for your Sony VGP-BPS2C. This should be done at least every few weeks and it will help you maintain the full capacity of the laptop battery. Leaving it plugged into the wall at all times will shorten the life of a battery.
2. Proper storage: Your Sony VGP-BPS2C laptop battery should never be stored in an area that drops below 50?F (10?C) or rises above 95?F (35?C). Never leave your laptop battery in the car during hot summer days or cold winter when temperature can not be controlled. If you need to store your battery for 6 months for more, leave it at 50% charge and remove it from the computer. Your battery may lose the ability to charge fully when you store it with full capacity. Storing it in a fully discharged state may never be able to charge again at all.

Customer Reviews From Amazon:

“This battery pack slides in my Sony VAIO very easily and provides long sony vgp-bps2c battery life to last at least a good 5-6 hours. A little heavy and bulky when you try to carry around or sit the laptop on your lap, but if you just set your laptop on a table or desk, it works really well.”

“The replacement vgp-bps2c battery is great for the price. It fits perfectly onto my laptop. The only problem is that the overall shape of this replacement battery is NOT the same as the Sony battery which prevents me from being able to use my Sony docking station with the battery attached. This also means I cannot recharge the battery with my docking station. A minor inconvenience. “

Question:
“in the power settings, I can see the laptop battery and it says it is charging, but it remains at 0%. If I double click on the battery, it shows me the battery info. When I run the laptop battery diagnostics from Dell, it runs through a series of tests, including an initial charge test that should take 6 hours. I started it, and it is supposed to show the charge as it goes, but it stays at 0.0%.

My question is, does it sound like a dead battery or is the charging part of the computer messed up? I have always had it plugged in, so I’m not sure if the dell inspiron 1525 battery somehow died, and lost it charge. It would make sense if it was at 100%, but it says 0.0%.”

Solution:
”

If your laptop works fine while plugged in but stops working while unplugged it’s likely that either your dell xps m1530 battery is bad or your laptop is not charging the battery properly. Below are steps that can be taken to help identify the cause of this issue.

Leave power plugged in

Make sure the computer has been charging from the power plug for at least two hours before attempting to unplug it.

Remove and reconnect dell latitude d820 battery

In some situations the battery can become loose. Removing it and then put it back into the laptop. If you need assistance removing the main computer battery.

Third-party utility

Use a third-party battery utility to determine the total capacity of the dell inspiron 6400 battery. For example, BatteryCare is a free software utility capable of doing this.

Refresh battery

Some laptop manufacturers allow for batteries to be refreshed through the CMOS. Refreshing a battery can help restore older batteries and give them more life, and in some cases report if the dell inspiron 1520 battery is bad. .

Replace battery and/or laptop AC adapter

If your computer is still in warranty we suggest skipping to the next step.

If the above steps have been completed, we suggest replacing the battery in the computer and/or AC adapter. In most situations it’s simply a bad battery. See our battery buying tips for additional suggestions and help with buying a computer battery.”

One of three things has happened – and its happened to your dell laptop battery. Either it has been over charged, over run (run until empty) or over heated.

Li-Ion batteries are extremely delicate in that they must be treated right. Running the battery down until it is nearly empty and then charging it puts a tremendous strain on it and damages the cells. This is the exact opposite to the old Ni-Cad batteries. Many people will tell you to discharge the batteries and charge them up as much as possible, but this is very wrong.

If you run your inspiron 1520 battery down low on a regular basis then you have killed it.

If you allow your battery to run down too low on even just a single occasion, it will have been damaged. Cells in laptop batteries are very rarely matched, which means that whilst 4 cells may be at 10%, 1 cell may only be at 6% and the last may be at 2%. This means that it is very easy to have a cell get to 0%. At that stage it will suffer from reverse polarity and that cell will never hold a charge again.

Over charging does not happen easily. However, if you leave your laptop plugged in for long periods of time whilst switched off, the trickle charge effect can over charge the cells for just the same reason given for reverse polarity above. Again, if a cell is overcharged it will never recover.

Finally heat. Li-Ion batteries degrade with heat. This means that if you allow them to operate at too high a heat for periods of time they will easily become damaged. A Li-Ion battery that has over heated will simply stop holding charge.

The basic end to this is simply that you will need to replace your dell inspiron 1520 battery.

In order to keep your batteries running as long as possible:
1- Do not run them down if you can help it. Better to recharge when your battery gets to 50% than lower.
2- Li-Ion batteries do not have ‘memory’ issues. NEVER discharge your battery to recharge it like you would do with a Ni-Cad battery.
3- Do not leave your laptop plugged in for extended periods of time when not in use.
4- If you use your laptop on the mains for long periods – it is better to remove the dell inspiron 1520 battery completely.
5- If you do have to use your laptop on battery power for long periods, set your laptop to auto-hibenate when your battery gets to about 15% (not 10% or 5%).

Other Answer
Also remove and replace your dell inspiron 1520 laptop battery (after shutting down). Sometimes connections need “exercise”, sometimes R&R will “reset”. >> Restart.

Depending on your operationg system, on most you can also ’right-click’ on the “desk top”; select ’Properties’; goto ’screen saver’; select ’power’ button.

>>> From here you can check &/or modify settings {CAREFUL}

Beyond this, I would get an experienced friend or go to Dell website for assistance. One of the reasons I used to recommend Dell for “newbies” that I assisted into ’Putr-land was that they are very good computers and they are good about helping buyers with problems.

Be sure to have your “Service Tag number” or Model & Serial Numbers handy- they will be needed for specific info!

You should be able to buy accessories there, including AC power adapters. An Toshiba AC adapter is a small device that connects an electronic device to a wall outlet. It enables electricity from the wall outlet to travel through the adapter into the device, thus providing it power and giving it the ability to operate. If your toshiba PA3715U-1ACA AC adapter breaks, this can be a major problem. Luckily, you can find a replacement at any major electronics retailer.take for “Toshiba PA3715U-1ACA AC Adapter” example:

Toshiba PA3715U-1ACA AC Adapter 19V 3.95A 75W

Input: AC100-240V (worldwide use)

Output: DC19V 3.95A

Power: 75W

Connecter size ( tip):5.5*2.5mm

Item Includes: AC Adapter and Power Cord.

1 Find out what kind of input your toshiba PA3715U-1ACA charger has. The input is the part of the adapter’s cord that plugs into the electronics device. A laptop computer will have a different input than, say, a Game Boy. You can check to see the exact specifications of the input in your electronic device’s users manual (on the “Specifications” page), or you can make sure you buy an laptop AC adapter that is specific to your kind of device. It will say what kind of devices it works with on the packaging.

2 Make sure the new adapter you buy will provide the proper voltage to the device you are trying to power. This is very important, as providing too little power will not enable the device to work properly and providing too much can damage it permanently. Compare the voltage your electronic device requires (as noted in its user’s manual) to the voltage the toshiba PA3715U-1ACA adapter provides (as noted on its packaging).

3 Make sure you get a new adapter (toshiba pa3468u-1aca ac adapter)

)with the proper wall plug. Some AC adapters will have a standard two-prong plug, while others will have three. Look at the wall outlet you intend on using the most and see what kind of plug you need. You can plug a two-pronged adapter into a three-pronged wall outlet, but you can’t plug a three-pronged adapter into a two-pronged wall outlet.

Question:

“I have owned my Vostro 1500 for nearly a year and a half since purchasing it from the Outlet. I have had no problems at all until Sunday night when it just died. No warning. Just dead. I first tried these suggestions found here and elsewhere on the web… Press Fn key while pressing power button, reseat DIMM A & B. No signs of life.

Since the dell vostro 1500 battery is out of warranty I feel like I have nothing to lose, so this morning I took everything apart looking for anything that looked melted or dislodged or overly dusty. Everything looks great. My husband has the same laptop, so I have been able to test the battery and AC adapter and in his and both work fine. One thing I have noticed though is this. When my dell AC adapter is plugged into the wall but not into the computer, the light is green. The second I plug it into the laptop, the light goes out. If I then plug the AC into the good laptop, the green light does not come back on until I separate the AC cord from the adapter (brick part) and plug it back in. This leads me to think that it could be a problem with the DC Power Jack where the AC Adapter is plugged in. But why wouldn’t it still work with the vostro 1500 battery?? Why would that cause it to just shut down mid use? Is there any chance it can be revived? This laptop has been like my right arm. I feel lost without it.

Any thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated. I’m out of work, this couldn’t have happened at a worse time. My resume is on that computer! Yes….I know I should have backed it up…”

Answer:”

Sounds like your mother board is shot. Looks like it would be something possibly in the power supply section.

As to your data the hard drive may very well be good and you could get an laptop ac adapter to put the drive in and plug it into your husbands computer to be able to access your files.

this is starting to become a pattern with Dell. This is about my 5th product that has had premature failure. First it was issues with the laptop batteries at our company. Then 3 of our Optiplex GX280 systems died with defective capacitors on the mainboard, they replaced the mainboards within the short extended warranty window but then about 6 months later, the new mainboards failed again, same issue – oozing capacitors. By now the extended warranty period was over and they wouldn’t replace them when we called, so we had to toss those. 6 months ago we ordered 30 dell 2208WFP flat panel monitors. Almost all but 3 have died from backlight failure. Luckily they carry a 3 year warranty and dell has replaced all of them with refurbs so far. Now this with the vostro 1500. So after all of this, I have finally made the switch and am now buying strictly HP and some IBM/Lenovo. I just ordered an HP proliant dl380 g5p and I will say it is one top notch piece of hardware. I did have an issue with what HP specs state on their website and what was delivered with the server. (it was missing a dell vostro 1500 laptop battery for the write cache on the RAID card, they promptly shipped out the missing part overnight). At any rate, I contacted dell regarding this vostro 1500 to see about getting it inspected for premature failure/defect. I pretty much got the run-around. First few calls I was transferred to different departments that were closed. When I finally made my case to someone about this laptop, and all the troubleshooting i tried (swapped out mem, replaced dell vostro 1500 battery pack, diff power supply) and how this has to be manufacture defect (I also brought up the Nvidia GPU issue), I was told my only option was to pay a 1 time $49 fee to have him troubleshoot over the phone with me or contact warranty repair at 800-822-8965. I also asked about how I can get an investigation going in to a possible recall or system defect, volunteering to mail my laptop in as it is useless. I was told just to call the warranty repair dept.
