Ideas: Let notebook battery have a long life

Friday, February 27th, 2009
Laptop is currently widely used lithium-ion batteries, in order to upgrade the battery capacity, manufacturers have been active efforts. How best to extend the battery life is also a large number of laptop users is extremely concerned about the things that today we take a look at some of the notebook battery maintenance skills.

The impact of laptop hp laptop battery are the key to standby time. To upgrade the quality of endurance capacity, pay attention to battery maintenance is essential.

1. In the use of laptop carefully read the user manual before the battery maintenance part of it;

2. When the first charge, you should continuously charge the battery to put 12 hours, and cycle to fully charge and discharge completely 3 times in order to awaken a new hp 338794-001;

3. If the prolonged use of external power supply, it is best to remove the battery. A lot of friends did not take note of this problem, use an external power supply not remove the battery will not only affect the battery life, but also to allow laptop cooling burden becomes even heavier, shortening the life of laptop. Lithium hp pavilion dv8000 battery ,charge and discharge the number of generally not more than 800 times, each time electric charge, it would shorten the life span of the first. If you use the half-way Plug Power required on many occasions, and the laptop does not pull out the built-in battery will give the battery , because each access to external power supply is equivalent to a battery charge.

4. Periodic charge and discharge. Even without the memory effect of the lithium-ion pavilion dv9000 battery exist a certain degree of inertia effects, a long time not to use lithium-ion will lose their activity, required re-activation. Therefore, if a long time (three weeks or longer) do not use a computer or the battery charge and discharge found that shorter time, the battery should be fully discharged before recharging, the general of each month at least one complete charge and discharge times.

5. Recharged when best to switch off the laptop, the sony laptop battery can completely full of electricity, do not unplug the power half-way in the charge. Shutdown charge than the boot more than 30% charge to shorten the charging time, and can extend the battery life. Best finish in 30 minutes after charging use.

6. To prevent exposure to prevent damp to prevent the chemical liquid erosion, avoid contact with the metal sony pcga-bp2nx contacts, such as short-circuit happened happen.

On the safe use of digital camera battery

Thursday, February 26th, 2009
1, do not mistake the battery positive and negative. AA rechargeable batteries to use digital cameras in particular, need to note that if the battery is a mistake (+) pole and the negative (-) pole to use, is likely to have short-circuit caused by the danger of batteries overheating, causing the machine will be unstable or even damage .

2, to avoid purchasing poor-quality counterfeit batteries or dell laptop battery . Many poor-quality batteries in the internal circuitry, batteries and other material the use of security risks exist, many mobile phone battery explosion cases are caused by counterfeit products.

3, as far as possible to exhaust the inspiron e1505 power to conduct a complete charge. This can extend the battery life, in addition, lithium-ion batteries should also be avoided as far as possible at a high temperature and low temperature environment, so as not to affect the results.

4, if the long-term non-use, it is advisable to charge the inspiron 6000 to half the rated capacity. Can be placed in room temperature environment. Save time and try to avoid contact with metal objects to avoid short circuit, not only undermine the battery, and is likely to result in a fire.

5 for the AA rechargeable inspiron 2600 battery. Best buy exactly the same as the composition of models of the battery pack, do not have the electric batteries and electric batteries not mix. Since both cases the battery huge difference between the resistance force led to substantial use of the power consumption of the heat in the battery itself, the weight will cause battery leakage.

Effect of temperature on the impact of laptop computer batteries?

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

In the mobile use of notebook battery life decisions, as the notebook with the lithium-ion batteries, in a non-normal temperatures, too high or too low temperature will bring a variety of questions, then the temperature is how it affected notebook battery?

1 ,0-40 ℃ are the most reasonable working environment

Notebook when in use, humidity, static electricity, temperature, etc. have an impact on it, but the lithium-ion batteries the most sensitive to temperature, excessively high or low temperature, the battery will bring negative impact to varying degrees, usually lithium-ion battery for the limits of the ambient temperature -20 ℃ ~ 60 ℃, and 0 ℃ ~ 40 ℃ is the most reasonable working environment, but to exert the potential of laptop battery performance, 20 ℃ or so is the best use of the environment.

Second, -25 ℃ the following will affect the battery life

Although the laptop battery in -20 ℃ permit the use of environment, but this will be the battery charge and discharge performance of a great Under normal circumstances, the lower the ambient temperature, the battery inside the actives activity the lower the electrolyte resistance and viscosity The higher the ion diffusion more difficult, not easy for battery charging and discharging.

For example, when the ambient temperature is below zero, the battery charge-discharge efficiency will be greatly reduced, thus charging speed will be very slow and full of electricity supply after the time and only the original 60%, when the ambient temperature falls below the minimum temperature limit (for example — 25 ℃), the battery electrode reaction rate is very low, even from the electrolyte freezing point, the battery performance may be only 10%, serious impact on battery life.

Three, 60 ℃ or more may be explosive

With the low temperature case, if the laptop battery in high temperature environment, which will affect the battery charge-discharge efficiency, but also for more serious damage to the battery, such as the use of inferior charger or charging time is too long, making the battery larger heat, When the charging temperature exceeds the maximum limit on the temperature, this will destroy the battery’s chemical balance, resulting in performance degradation of battery materials, to reduce battery life.

The same reason, the battery during the discharge time, that is, when we use the notebook, due to internal short-circuit the battery or battery design flaws, if the operating temperature exceeds the maximum limits, battery-powered ability, life receded, the situation will be serious emergence of the explosion, burning and so on.

Lithium-ion battery Working Principle

Everyone already know that lithium-ion dell inspiron 510m battery cathode materials are lithium cobalt oxide, are carbon negative electrode.

Lithium-ion battery working principle refers to the principle of charging and discharging. When charging batteries, the batteries have a lithium-ion cathode generation, after generation of lithium-ion electrolyte to the anode exercise. As the carbon anode was layered structure, it has a lot of microporous, the arrival of Li-ion on the anode embedded in the porous carbon layer, the embedded lithium-ion more the higher the charge capacity.

Similarly, when the battery discharge (that is, we use the process of the battery), embedded in the carbon anode in lithium-ion layer extrusion, and sports back to cathode. Back to cathode of lithium-ion more higher discharge capacity. What we normally refer to the battery capacity is the discharge capacity.

Is not difficult to see, in the lithium-ion battery charge and discharge process, lithium-ion at the anode from the cathode → Sports → cathode status. If we take the lithium-ion battery Saying for a rocking chair, rocking chair at the two ends of the bipolar battery, and lithium-ion as the best athlete in the running back and forth at the two ends of a rocking chair. Therefore, the experts gave a lithium-ion inspiron 600m battery lovely name rocking chair batteries.

Lithium-ion battery assembly process

Lithium-ion battery technology is very stringent, complex and here only a brief one of several major processes.

(1) Pulping

Use of specialized solvents and adhesives in powder form with the negative electrode active material is mixed, with high-speed mixing evenly, the paste made of the positive and negative material.

(2) coating

Will be made from pulp evenly coating the surface of the metal foil and drying, respectively, a pole piece made of positive and negative.

(3) assembly

By cathode film - divide - negative film - diaphragm placed the order from top to bottom, the battery made by winding a very core, then injected into the electrolyte, sealing and other process, namely the completion of the battery assembly process, the system into a finished battery.

(4) into

With a dedicated battery charging and discharging equipment for finished battery charge and discharge test, for each battery are tested only selected qualified latitude d500 battery products to be manufactured.
