Laptops have long become an indispensable attribute of each modern person - skipping into the magical world of the Internet. We use them for work, games and communication from any corner of the planet. And if you do as a majority, then keep your laptop included in the home network and at work. And in vain.
If you want to squeeze out of your laptop batteries maximum energy, disconnect it from the network as soon as the indicator shows 100 percent of charging. And even a little earlier.
Cadex Electronics Chapter Isior Bushmann is confident that ideally you need to charge up to 80 percent, then disable, wait until the charge level drops up to 40 percent and turn on again. This technique will extend the life of your battery up to four times.
The reason lies in the voltage level of each element of the lithium-polymer battery. The higher the charging percentage, the greater the voltage level. The greater the voltage level, the higher the load on each element. This load leads to a reduction in the discharge time. According to the site Battery University, if the laptop can produce 300-500 discharge cycles when charging up to 100 percent, then when charging up to 70 percent, the number of these cycles increases to 1200-2000.
Busmann knows this well, because his company sponsors Battery University. In addition, he claims that the battery life shortens not only a constant connection to the network - the temperature also plays a considerable role in this process. From overheating, battery elements can expand and bubbles can be formed in them. Such a battery will not live for a long time.
To avoid these troubles, it is better not to close the lid of the laptop and do not keep it on the knees.
Bushmann admits that his advice to keep the level of charging ranging from 40 to 80 percent - it is easier to say than to do. Constantly keeping the indicator under control during operation is not very convenient. "But it's not so difficult to at least charge it every time about 80 percent. And when you are going on a journey, stop charging a bit no reaching 100 percent, "he says.
Some users have adapted to count the time that the computer is required to discharge from 80 to 40 percent and have a timer. They do the same with time when the batteries are charged. If this technique helps to save - why not?
