Simply put, a lot of people like laptops and phones and use them a lot. But it gets frustrating when the battery life seems to be shorter and shorter with each passing day. Here's a couple of tips to prolong your battery life as much as possible!
- Avoid frequent full discharges and charge more often between uses
Contrary to popular belief, charging your battery to full every time actually shorten your battery life. If full discharges cannot be avoided, try utilizing a larger battery. - It's at 100%? You can keep plugging it in
Under normal circumstances you should not be necessary to unplug it because once the lithium-ion battery is full, a correctly functioning charger will discontinue the charge and will only engage when the battery voltage drops to a low level. Most users do not remove the AC power, and I like to believe that this practice is safe. - Don't expose your battery to high temperature
To be exact, don't let it go over 30 C ( 86 F ) - Don't let your battery on full state-of-charge for an extended time
Don't let it dwell on high voltage above 4.10V/cell - Avoid using Wireless chargers
Because batteries are exposed to elevated temperature when charging with wireless chargers - When not in use, store the battery in a cool place
- For long-term storage, manufacturers recommend a 40 percent charge.
This allows for some self-discharge while still retaining sufficient charge to keep the protection circuit active. Finding the ideal state-of-charge is not easy; this would require a discharge unit with an appropriate cut-off. Users should not worry too much about the state-of-charge; a cool and dry place is more important - Don't use your laptop on bed
Running a laptop in bed or on a pillow may contribute to rising the heat in your laptop and battery by restricting airflow
Do that, and you'll have a better chance of having a good long battery life!
