How to Care for Laptop Computer Batteries

Posted by admin on April 29th, 2014

Laptop batteries should be cared for properly to sustain a longer life. At most, a laptop battery’s lifespan is from three to five years. If not cared for correctly, you may have to replace it after just a few months of use. Therefore, you must understand the proper care for laptop batteries.

Instructions

1 Make sure that your laptop is properly ventilated when in use. Check air vents. Do not place or use it on surfaces that avoid air from penetrating and leaving freely. The laptop must always remain cool, including its battery. Do not leave your laptop battery exposed to too much heat nor in freezing temperature. This can damage the battery and the laptop. Hot batteries are drained more quickly, while cold ones do not generate much power. Keep it in a place with an average temperature.

2 Place your laptop in a clean area, free from dirt and dust. Dust may find its way into your unit and can cause damage that will hinder it from working effectively, including the battery. Avoid locations near any kind of liquid that could spill.

3 Avoid using the laptop on battery when power is nearly drained. Recharge it before becoming fully drained. Draining the battery repeatedly may cause irreparable damage (See tip #1).

4 Do not plug your laptop charger directly into a power outlet. Use a power adapter, UPS or voltage regulator when recharging your laptop battery.

Posted by admin on April 28th, 2014

2.Separate the power cord from the Toshiba Satellite E300 laptop. Turn the laptop on. Let the laptop run on battery power until the battery dies

3.Repeat this process three times. The battery has now been reconditioned.

How to Calibrate an Sony VGP-BPL17 Battery

Posted by admin on April 27th, 2014

Your Sony VGP-BPL17 laptop has a small icon in the system tray that displays your battery’s current charge. Hovering your mouse over this icon displays your Sony VGP-BPL17 battery‘s charge percentage. Though this gauge is typically quite accurate, repeatedly charging your battery before you’ve fully exhausted it can cause it to fall out of calibration, which results in your displayed charge percentage not matching the actual charge level of your battery. Run your sx06xl through a complete charge cycle to calibrate the battery.

Instructions
1.Connect your Sony VGP-BPL17 power adapter and plug it into a wall outlet. Keep it plugged in until the battery is fully charged.

3.Click “Start” and type “Power” in the search bar. Click “Power Options” from the list of results.

4.Click “Create Power Plan” and type a name for it in the field provided. Use a name like “Battery Hog” or “Power Drainer” to ensure you know what it is later on..

5.Select “Never” in the drop-down list next to each item in the list of options. This ensures that your computer does not disable any devices to conserve battery life, which helps drain it faster.

6.Run the laptop until the Sony VGP-BPL17 battery is fully depleted and the laptop shuts itself off. Plug the laptop back in to recharge the battery.

You Can Replace Acer Power Cord With a Generic Brand

Posted by admin on April 22nd, 2014

Your Acer laptop requires an adaptor cord to power the machine and charge the on-board battery. Over time, this cord can malfunction, become damaged or be misplaced, requiring replacement. Although Acer offers official replacement cords for your laptop, the name-brand versions often cost more than identical generic replacements. In most cases, a generic, third-party replacement cord works just as well as the name-brand version.

Proper Wattage
When choosing a generic brand AC adapter and cord, one of the most important factors to consider is the laptop’s power requirements. The power specifications required by your laptop are printed on the underside of the machine, typically listed in volts (V) and amps (A). Multiply these two numbers together to get the wattage (W) the laptop requires to function. For example, Acer Iconia W700 AC Adapter, if your Acer requires 16V and 4A, you’ll need an adapter that offers at least 64W. You can use an adapter that offers more watts, such as 70W, but you cannot use an adapter with less, such as 60W.

Proper Connector
In addition to the correct wattage, you must find an adapter with the proper connector that plugs into the laptop. Laptop connectors come in varying sizes and shapes, and the adapter’s connector plug must match it perfectly to function properly. Most online shopping sites list which laptops the third-party adapters work with, taking the guesswork out of matching a Web-sized picture of an adapter connector plug with your laptop’s adapter port.

Universal Adapter
If your household owns several Acer brand laptops, each with a different adapter port shape, a universal adapter may work well for your needs. Universal adapters offer multiple connector tips that you can change as necessary for your charging needs. So long as each laptop fits the wattage offered by the charger, a single adapter cord can charge several laptops; you place the correctly shaped connector tip on the end.

Compatible Voltage and Plug
Because of the ease of ordering though the Internet, you may find yourself on a website of a supply company based in another country. When searching for a generic adapter for your Acer laptop, verify that the cord for sale works in the country where you live. Outlet voltage ranges differ between the United States and Europe, and the adapter’s outlet plug is shaped differently for each country. Read all available information regarding the adapter to make sure the adapter is compatible with your electricity requirements.
