MAINTAINING YOUR LAPTOP BATTERY

MAINTAINING YOUR LAPTOP BATTERY
Let me go straight to the points:
Make sure your laptop is not overheating every time it is in use. If this is so, take it to your technician to troubleshoot and solve the problem. It can cut-short your battery’s life span.
Make sure your laptop is not heating up whenever it is charging. This indicates that your laptop’s charging system has malfunctioned. Report it to your technician.
If you don’t plan to use your laptop for long period of time, you can maintain your battery by storing it with a 50 percent charge. A fully discharged battery left for a long period of time will lose its charging capacity. Fully charged batteries discharge when they are left unused, and will lose effectiveness.
Running your battery down completely will diminish its capacity. Instead, setting your laptop to hibernate when 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11 percent charge is remaining is a good practice.
Always keep your laptop in a cool environment.
