Maintenance Tips
Almost all notebooks today utilize rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries. Lithium Ion provides many benefits over earlier Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) or Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) Batteries, including less mass, better performance, and insusceptibility to the so-called “memory effect”. Despite these benefits you can maximize your battery's lifespan by following these maintenance tips:
1 New batteries must be full charged before use
To put your battery in optimum condition for long-term usage, please fully charge the battery before its first use. Very importantly as well, for the first 3 charge cycles, always fully charge before use and fully discharge before recharging.
2 Calibrate the battery every few months
Almost all notebook batteries are created with an internal microprocessor, which provides an estimate of battery conditions such as number of charges, discharges, full charge capacity and cycle charge count. The full charge capacity will become a little inaccurate after a few months and c ali brating it can help restore the battery's performance.
Some notebooks provide c ali bration tools in the BIOS or a Windows application. If your notebook provides either of them, you can follow these three steps prior to c ali bration:
1) Plug in your notebook's power adapter and fully charge your battery.
2) When your battery is fully charged, disconnect the power adapter and usee your notebook in battery mode. Disable all battery warning operations in Power Options Properties such as Shut down, Stand-by or Hibernation. When the remaining power is 3%, close all running application and allow the notebook to shut itself down.
3) Plug your power adapter in and full charge your battery. Your battery has been sufficiently drained for c ali bration.
3 Use your battery in the proper conditions
Generally speaking, batteries work best at around 68 °F（ 20℃） , but temperatures between 32 to 95 °F(0 to 35℃ ) will allow a battery to works in good condition too. Allowing your battery to work in conditions that are too hot or cold can lower its performance. It may also have a negative influence on the battery's lifespan as well.
4 Store your battery in the proper conditions when not in use
If you don't plan to use your notebook for a month or more, we recommend the battery be stored separately in a clean, dry and cool place. Please also ensure that the battery has about a 70% charge remaining. During storage the battery will perform a slow self-discharge, so we do not recommend storing I for a very long time (3 months or more), because it can impact the wellbeing of the battery.
Other Information
Higher capacity battery or spare batteries
Some notebooks may be offered with an option on a higher capacity battery, which may also be offered as a separate purchase. You can take advantage of both to extend your notebook's unplugged time.
Replace the battery
A battery that has been cared for properly should provide at least 300 full charge and discharge cycles. You can choose to purchase a replacement battery when your original battery longer is no longer able to serve you properly. The main symptom of this is a much shorter runtime even after c ali bration.
Battery recycling
Please do not dispose of old notebook batteries in the rubbish bin as they can pollute the environment. Batteries should be recycled or collected for safe disposal through your local municipal or commercial programs.
