Notebooks are one of the essential productivity tools for many college students and professionals. Especially at a time when mobile office is extremely common, the endurance of notebooks has become the preferred factor for many people to buy notebooks, after all, battery life and endurance directly affect work efficiency, and no one wants to drop the chain at a critical moment.
The following points can help you effectively protect the battery and better extend the battery life.
Key 1: Does the newly purchased notebook need to activate the battery?
Now the battery of the notebook is basically a lithium battery, has been equipped with a very mature battery circuit system, and the product will activate the battery when it leaves the factory, and there is no need to activate it again. Therefore, the newly acquired laptop can directly use the battery power, or use an external power supply, which is OK and will not cause harm to the battery.
Key 2: The daily maintenance of the battery is more important
First, the attenuation of battery life is related to the number of cycles of charging. The number of cycles mentioned here does not refer to the charging process from 0% to 100%, even if it is charged from 70% to 90% and then disconnected, it is counted as a charging cycle. Therefore, when conditions permit, we can use an external power supply as much as possible to reduce the loss of battery life by the number of charging cycles.
Second, the notebook should be charged scientifically. In the process of battery use, while avoiding extremely low power, it is also necessary to avoid charging 100%, because deep charging and discharging will cause the battery to heat up, thereby accelerating the consumption of battery capacity. You should try to start charging when there is 20% to 30% of the power left, and ensure that you only need to charge 60% to 80% of the power.
However, many notebooks now have a threshold for charge protection, which can avoid overcharging, which can be set on the notebook itself.
Also, for notebooks with low frequency of use, there should be a sense of maintenance. Lithium batteries have no memory effect, need to avoid overcharge discharge, for low frequency of use, you can regularly discharge and charge the notebook battery several times, generally can maintain the battery power at 80% and then shut down.
Key 3: Can the battery continue to be plugged in after it is packed?
There are many reasons for the bulge of the notebook computer, such as the polarization reaction inside the battery, the electrolyte reaction, overcharging, the use environment is too high, and so on. Once the signs of the bulge basically mean that the life of the notebook battery is over, it needs to be powered off immediately, and the battery can be replaced in time before use, otherwise there may be a safety accident if the battery is continued, which is extremely dangerous.
However, unlike mobile phones, the notebook can also be directly powered by the power supply, if you feel that changing the battery, changing the computer is troublesome, and want to continue to use, you can remove the battery and use the notebook as a "desktop". Although it loses the portability of the notebook, it is barely usable.
To sum up, if you want to effectively extend the battery life of the notebook, scientific maintenance and attention are essential. Do you understand the above three key points? Welcome to communicate together in the comment area~
