The first time you are charging your laptop’s battery be sure you have fully charged it. And do this every next time. I can understand that you are in hurry to open the laptop and use it right after you have bought it, but do not tempt, because this temptation can cost a lot of working hours less for laptop’s battery. Before the first use fully charge it. For the second recharge wait till the battery is totally dead. And fully charge again. This will guarantee work of the battery at full capacity. Do not forget that every laptop’s battery can be charged specific times. With every half charging your are decreasing the number of charges possible.
Be beware of “battery’s memory” effect. With this name specialist are calling the effect which happens when you do not charge fully your battery. This is what makes your battery charge to be stopped before reaching 0% or 100% or power. Laptop’s battery “remembers” the moment when the charging or emaciation has been stopped the last time. Although this is only for the old models of laptops, have it on mind anyway.
If you will not use your laptop for long time leave the laptop with the battery taken away. The battery’s power will be uncharged by itself with the time passing. BUT leave the battery partly charged. If it is fully charged you will “kill” your battery. Let it be charged at about 40%. You will keep it away from fatal consequences.
Use your battery at least once per month. When we are close to electricity we do not use our batteries. This is good. There is no need to blunt the battery. But the opposite is not good as well. So charge the battery and uncharge it once at least per month. This will keep the adequate capacity of the battery and will increase its life.
Cut away the extreme temperatures. Your laptop’s battery can work only at a common temperature. But while the laptop is working the battery starts heating. This heating is in some limits which are acceptable. Everything more is bad for the battery- too hot or too cold is not proper. Although batteries can work in wide range of temperatures do not make experiments with its durability.
It is not so difficult to keep your battery in good condition, is it?
