Hope everyone own a laptop now a days , even a school student have one in his hand .So this article will be helpful to those who are loves their lap and taking care of it . Here I just going to share some information about laptop batteries & to increase the battery life cycle .

Battery backup time is based on its capacity which is usually mentioned by its unit mA . Higher the capacity value you will get long backup time . And also it depends on the load which is driven by your laptop ,for example your applications and hardware inside your laptop .High gaming and multimedia applications will drain more power sources it will shorten your battery . Display contrast of your laptop screen also plays important roll . So these all factors drains your battery power . We may notice the performance of the laptop will be good always when we plugged in to the Ac adaptor or main source .
You may ask the questions and have doubts like this..Charging and discharging the laptop frequently will degrade our battery ? or charging the battery till 100 % full and after that it is necessary to disconnect our ac adaptor every time? or Full charging will affect our battery ? how to increase the battery life time ?
So the answer may depends on the “situations” or “needs” or “How you use”….
At a glance Charging is storing the energy in your battery and Dis-charging is releasing the stored energy to your device . Discharge-cycle is a time period of charging and Dis-charge completely .Normally manufacturers defines charging and dis-charging to some percentage , for example 20 % for complete dis-charge and 80 % for complete charge , to protect and increase the life time of the battery.
Dis-charge cycle and temperature are the two important factors with affects directly day by day will degrade your battery life time .So considering these points we need to effectively utilize the battery depends on their needs.
-
After the full charge of battery complete , your laptop will start using the AC source from adaptor. It means that after complete charge, your battery will not be used by laptop .
-
The heat may increase your battery performance and also affects the battery life . So remember that the temperature from your laptop will affect the battery life . So some people removes the battery from laptop even we may notice in shops when we going to buy the new one.
-
And always avoid the complete dis-charge till the end will degrade battery life always.
-
It is recommended that always use your laptop in ac adapter in home and use some software to restrict the charging capacity to some level.
-
Remember that,every complete dis-charge is counted as a discharge cycle .That’s y we limit the charge level.

In my case I use the battery Lenovo Energy management software by default . There is two options to choose,
Optimize for battery runtime and Optimize for battery life .
Optimize for battery life is the best option to increase the battery life , If we enable this option , battery will not accept more charging after some level ( from 40 to 50 % charge ) . So it will protect our battery our battery and extend battery life by alleviating battery cell degradation .
There is a free software called Battery care ,
BatteryCare is created to optimize the usage and performance of the modern laptop’s battery
It monitors the battery’s discharge cycles and helps increasing it’s autonomy and improving its lifetime
But I have not used it before..If you want just try it…and share your experiences by putting your valuable comments below. And share it to your friends if you found useful…
