about Laptop's maintenance and optimization

Welcome to a
Laptop Battery
of the Sony Laptop battery  First post by: www.itbattery.com
"Mobility" is different from the notebook computer desktop is an important characteristic. It is also because of the characteristics, so that the laptop inadvertently take on the responsibility of safeguarding the image. A lack of long Sony laptop battery

life of notebook capacity, it is impossible to take the needs of mobile office for a long time. And a lack of power to help the laptop, and its "Anytime, Anywhere" The advantage is that it is even more out of the question of.



At present, many users of laptop batteries for use just to stay in the primary stage, how to protect the as well as the rational use of all batteries do not know. Whenever these big customers to complain about life is too short or long life is not at the same time is first of all carefully from the normal use of their own look for the reasons for this? Of course, these two problems caused by the PCGA-BP2NX does not rule out the reasons for their quality, but the vast majority of the current situation, improper use of man-made is a very common phenomenon.



Many people think that the laptop's life is calculated in accordance with the use of life but actually it is not really play a decisive factor should be the number of full charge and discharge. This is not a special case of notebook computers, where all the rechargeable is so. Under normal circumstances, it is now generally used in notebook computer lithium-ion for the 400 or so take charge of life; Ni-MH life a lot longer to reach a thousand times take the necessary and sufficient, but has a strong Electrical memory effect, so although life expectancy than the previous lithium-ion batteries, but its day-to-day use of state, Ni-MH PCGA-BP1N performance is far behind lithium-ion.



We have the same human sickness and death, the is gradually after the aging and eventually death. As a result, proper use and maintenance of is particularly important.



General machinery of the new batteries will be in charge in advance to a certain degree of power for use in the test machine, so you will have to go home after the first machine to this part of the electricity charge for exhausted after work. And the future of every charge must ensure that the remaining PCGA-BP2NY power consumption by as much as possible and then to carry out clean.



If the needs to be shelved for a long time to save, then left in the to ensure a certain degree of power, all manufacturers of whether the stay of the remaining number of different power, but I suggest all of us still full of power after a good save; other long-term non-use of the In the at least once a month depth charge and discharge must also work to be done, it is aimed at preventing the long-ion batteries have not been used in case of loss of electricity caused by the activity no longer be able to charge again.



In the computer environment, the use of power supply stability, we proposed to remove the, and using a separate power adapter power supply. The aim is simple to avoid frequent is not fully discharged in the case was charging. Our environment is absolutely impossible for insulation, so even if the is not used will be the same natural power, so that when connected to power again, will be carried out on the PCGA-BP2R charge. This is a strong power of the memory effect of Ni-MH injury is a very large, although the lithium-ion batteries power the memory effect is almost negligible, but not a long period of charging and discharging will to a certain extent, reduce the PCGA-BP2S Life. Of course, if you use the computer's power supply situation is very bad environment, do not do this, and the price of tens of thousands of laptop comparison, a cell is still relatively cheap, the baby lost his melon on a cost-effective .

Battery maintenance, no matter how, if the method shall not be treated in use, will never be able to give full play to its effectiveness. The same specifications as the, why in the day-to-day use and promotion by manufacturers of the difference in time, the use of so many subjects? This is a lot of customers after the purchase is a matter of doubt. Of course, this information does exist a number of misleading, as advocated by the number of manufacturers are in the extreme power of the test results, and our day-to-day use is not possible to reach such an environment. Even so, the difference would not have a lot of time, PCGA-BP2T usually about 10-25 minutes (only writing word-processing, web browsing, and so simple to operate). In addition there may be a user of the power of some operations, such as watch video, play games and so on.



On the rational use of batteries and optimize methods, we have all the hardware from the laptop's own characteristics in terms of categories. Before talking about, let us come to the notebook computer in all hardware power of the smallest case for a simple sort, then followed by "LCD, optical drive, hard drive, memory and central processing unit, the other (interfaces, peripherals and so on ). "



1.LCD LCD



While the liquid crystal display LCD than CRT monitors have a lot of power, but in many laptop hardware, it is a big power. Among them, and the power consumption is directly related to the factors is the screen brightness and display refresh rate.



A. display brightness



LCD brightness of the full board from the rear of the screen placed in the back of the tube, it can be imagined, lamp brightness caused by the high and low power consumption is never the same. Therefore, if the use of PCGA-BP2V - powered, visually to the extent permitted by as much as possible to reduce the display's brightness can save some electricity. In other words it had broken down in the middle of the user's screen will be on the all-black background can be adjusted to reduce the power consumption of this LCD is wrong. The use of all-black background as opposed to those who fancy background can indeed reduce the consumption of the system, which to some extent played the role of energy-saving, but to do so by saving energy is minimal, but LCD is not brought about by Because no matter what kind of background, on the LCD's brightness is no change.



Moreover, many users prefer to use the laptop screen saver, which may CRT display also has a protective effect, but the use of PCGA-BP4V - powered laptop, it can be said is not useful . But now the screen saver can be said to be doing more and more fancy, running the screen saver when the system load it more, then naturally increased power consumption. It is therefore recommended that you leave the computer in time will have the option to close LCD, or the use of sleep function, or even shut down your computer. IBM users more fortunate, can be used directly FN + F3 to close the screen:).



B. display refresh rate



It is well known, LCD's refresh rate is a parameter in name only, because there is no LCD display is flashing, the general notebook refresh rate is fixed re-60Hz, reduce the increase is of no use. But when we refresh the screen a number of very fast operation, also will increase the power consumption. This explains why, as well as playing video games, VGP-BPS3 consumption will be very soon, apart from the CPU, video card, and other hardware to increase the load, constantly repeated the action Shuabing is also a crucial factor in power consumption.

Unfortunately, however, the problem is basically not a good solution, we can only suggest that the use of-powered as much as possible when the video to see less and less to play the game ... ...: (



For IBM notebook computer, its unique power management software can be adjusted MaxMiser laptop screen refresh rate, see figure, IBM's exclusive features:

2. CD-ROM



Many users believe that the drive was mainly due to the power of the laser head of the transmitting power. In fact, the first laser transmitter power consumption will necessarily despite electricity, but compared with the motor rotation, it is not a what.



In fact, the notebook has been in energy-saving drive up and down a lot of effort, we can feel the drive belt when the disk is idle, the motor will be in a very short period of time from the high-speed down to the last stop low-speed rotation. But read the CD-ROM, will be rotating motor, motor rotation must be consumed electricity. And the laptop PCGA-BP71 has a CD-ROM problems, and that is when, or insert boot disk with CD-ROM will first turn on a few of the buzz, which is to consume electricity.



In fact, this problem can be solved. In addition to the use of batteries in less time as far as possible the use of CD-ROM, also known as the use of a Nero Driver Speed CD-ROM software to reduce the speed.



This is a very good green software, no need to be installed to run in the Nero Driver Speed Options can click on "Detect" button to detect the current drive supported by the speed of file, and can choose the language interface VGP-BPS8. Language from the menu, we can see that this software can show support for Simplified Chinese.

In the interface, the drive can read the speed and load to stop the rotation after the time for the definition and can run the software on the way to conduct a detailed definition.

In addition, if your CD-ROM support for the DMA transfer mode, then certainly keep in mind that in the Device Manager will open the function, and do not use PIO mode. This will effectively reduce the share of the CPU, so as to achieve energy efficiency.



3. Hard



With a similar drive, turning the motor power is also a factor in one of the other heads of the hard disk seek time will also have a corresponding movement of power.



A laptop computer hard drive energy-saving design is a certain period of time when the hard disk for users to put an end to read and write operations, will head to the auto, motor idling into the state, but the weakness lies in the design of hard disk heads will be ready to re - Since the hard disk seek testing the use of state. Each head of the mechanical movement will bring a certain degree of power consumption, the power management in the process of "free hard disk closing time" is VGP-BPS9 set very necessary.



If your notebook computer using the IBM TravelStar hard drive, then you can use a software PowerBooster hard to achieve energy-saving operation, the software's interface is very simple, you just need to move on the "minimum energy consumption" and "the greatest performance" Between the blocks can be designated.

Another possible choice of models to update the hard drive because they can support a higher rate of transmission standards, but it also needs the support of the motherboard chipset. At present, the general might be able to see the hard disk are DMA/66 support and DMA/100 standard VGP-BPS10, although generally only for the speed to 4200 / notebook computer hard drive is concerned, DMA/100 in the transfer rate on the role of performance is not Out because of the internal hard disk transfer rate impossible to achieve the goal. But effectively reduce the share of the CPU, it does have a large role.



4. CPU and memory



Will be part of the reason why these two together is that they contain between the hardware is more obvious. When the computer's CPU speed is relatively high, compared with an hour of memory, the CPU is actually waiting for the memory; and when the CPU speed is relatively low, the memory is very large, there have been waiting for the CPU memory. In either case, the system will increase its operating capacity, at the same time is not conducive to energy conservation.



A. CPU



First of all, as far as possible choose to use mobile notebook computer CPU, as the mobile CPU for notebook computers has made energy-saving design. We were well-known features of the Intel SpeedStep is one of the great characteristics from the P3-600Mhz processor after, Intel mobile CPU in the official added this feature PCG-R505, which allows the CPU to use-powered clock automatically reduce the frequency of operation, In order to play the role of energy conservation. (Mobile Celeron processors do not have the features)



Intel SpeedStep:

If you are using Windows 98/Me/2000 operating system can go to the Intel Web site to download and install the program SpeedStep, in the process of the interface can be the CPU clock frequency definition, the user may need to use their own CPU running the designated frequency level. Such as IBM, , and other brand of notebook computer power management program also offers a similar feature, although the same is also based on Intel SpeedStep, but much more detailed, provided a wealth of energy-saving models to suit the theme of the use of demand. Although Windows XP already embedded in the process PCG-V505, but regrets that it did not provide the definition of the procedures manual, the system will automatically install after the end of the default power management program will be adjusted to energy-saving notebook computer program, which is why a lot of Users feel that Windows XP installed on the computer system after a slow one of the reasons why.

If you choose this, your processor at full speed in any situation Pao Bule:

This can only choose:

OSHIBA laptop power management program

If the choice is another Pentium 3 processor notebook computer, as far as possible to opt for the Tualatin .13 micron core Pentium 3-M processor, as compared to the old .18 micron copper core of the Pentium 3, new Generation of processors in the power saving and performance have a lot of good.



B. Memory



Many people think that the DDR memory than ordinary power SDRAM memory, in fact, this is wrong because they overlook the



The use of DDR memory notebook computer with Pentium 4 is more and Nvida Geforce (ATI Radeon) graphics card such a big power, in power naturally is not possible to be small. But the memory on its own terms, DDR rather than power SDRAM, DDR memory because the voltage is 2.5v, and ordinary SDRAM memory for 3.3v.

Of course, it is not possible voltage changes, and we can change only the amount of memory. Under the system needs to choose the right size of the memory is VGP-BPS3 very important, otherwise there will be because the memory is too small, causing the system to read a large number of hard disk space as virtual memory, it is natural to increase the power consumption.

The following is a different operating system memory proposals:

Windows 98> = 64M

Windows Me> = 128M

Windows 2K> = 192M

Windows XP> = 256M



5. Other (interfaces, peripherals, etc.)



We used USB, PCMCIA interface are charged, the power consumption is inevitable. Moreover, according to an external device used by different power consumption has also brought about by the will, for example, mobile hard drive power consumption than external mouse is great.



There is only one solution, which is in the process of using the PCG-Z505 as much as possible of those who spend less interface, unless forced to use. After the used equipment must remember to remove, because although the device to stop working, but the interface in order to maintain communications equipment and computers, must also consume electricity.

For some, we almost do not have to interface, you can consider it a temporary closure of the attention is not in the hardware manager of the property in equipment to disable the device, but the CMOS settings to Disable. For example, we are familiar with the infrared interface, it's time to time and then automatically open around the existence of infrared scanning equipment, this is the will power.



Finally, we made available to a proposal that is in the hardware configuration to allow as much as possible on the premise of the selection of the latest operating system, as in the energy-saving design, compared to their pre-generation operating system to improve many. In addition, a reasonable combination of Windows power management procedure or notebook computer manufacturers of specially designed power management procedures of the power savings are helpful.



Optimization of these operations can not play the role of the extended VGP-BPL2 life, but can really feasible as far as possible within the scope of the extension of life, so as to maximize performance. After more than one operation, life can be extended by about 10-15 minutes, the sounds seem to think that optimize the role of the less obvious, but it can not Xiao Qiao such a short span of ten minutes, it may be the most critical Computer has become an important moment in the life-saving information on the straw. protection is not the same everywhere, or do not have to worry about batteries, a reasonable operating under the premise of rest assured that you use bold, it's better for our effectiveness is the key.

The 20 Most Brain Dead Fad Diets In History

Welcome to a Laptop battery specialist
of the IBM Laptop battery  First post by: www.itbattery.com
1. Activating a new ThinkPad R40

IBM ThinkPad R40 battery&IBM ThinkPad R40 notebook battery pack

Generic manufacturers is a new notebook for the first time in the boot with a battery should be 3% of electricity consumption at this time, should not use an external power supply, but the battery's power than is used up, until the shutdown, and then add Power charge. And then also to the battery charge after the exhaustion of power, charging time must be more than 12 hours, repeated three times to do in order to activate the ThinkPad R60, ThinkPad T60.

2. As far as possible to reduce the use of the number of batteries

The number of battery charging and discharging a direct bearing on the life of each charge a battery to retire a step forward. We proposed to make full use of external power supply, the use of an external battery power will be removed. If you often several times a day in Plug Power, and notebook computers equipped with a battery, battery on the greater damage. Because each access to external power supply is equivalent to charging a 40Y6797, battery on the nature of the Zheshou.

3. Exhausted after the electricity charge and avoid charging time is too long

Whether the use of notebook lithium or Ni-MH electric power, it must be exhausted before sufficient power (electricity consumption of less than 1%), which is to avoid the best way to the memory effect. Li-electric memory will have the same effect, but its memory effect than Ni-MH only a small number, only to the full power of the battery / use it only after the charge. Part of the charge, could lead to discharge the battery inside the batteries of different chemical properties, so the 40Y6799 performance will back down. Recommendations on the battery every few months to carry out a deep discharge the ThinkPad R32, in order to optimize performance. This is accomplished through use of battery-powered, the battery capacity has been used to 0% (this time the system will automatically enter standby or hibernation state, according to the BIOS settings in different). And then connected to the AC charger has been full of up to 100%. After a long period of storage batteries, and battery discharge has a natural process, natural discharge has been finished, it does not affect the capacity of the battery.

The first charge, you should continuously charge the battery to 12 hours, and to completely Circulating charge, discharge three times (see the maintenance of a battery) in order to fully awaken to the new battery, this battery has not been stored for several months Use, it also recommended three complete charge and discharge. If a 02K6928 in a row after 12 hours, after three or charge-discharge cycle still can not charge, this battery will not be able to use the need to be replaced.

At present, notebook computers are used in lithium-ion battery as its power source, for they were not equipped with a battery of the notebook, the notebook has been totally lost their sense of self, and a mobile PC-like no, so that the notebook computer The battery for notebook computers as a very important part.

In the high-temperature environment to avoid the use of lithium ThinkPad A20M, ThinkPad A21M, expert research, a state of high-temperature lithium batteries will accelerate the aging process, and not to the same extreme low-temperature environments. Low temperatures will reduce the activity of lithium batteries to reduce the notebook's battery life. Lithium batteries on a regular basis to activate processing, is fully charged and discharged, to allow the resumption of the largest-capacity lithium batteries. Practice is to close all the power management so that the notebook slowly discharge until they have no electricity, and then fully charged, can be repeated two or three times. The hot weather, as much as possible to maintain their own notebook batteries, notebook computers can better play its role. I hope your laptop battery will not be a worry for the maintenance of parts.

Because the lithium-ion batteries have a small size, high-energy density, no memory effect, high cycle life, high-voltage battery and low self-discharge rate, the vast majority of notebooks now use the batteries; are allocated to BenQ joybook5000 Battery as an example for everyone on the composition of the battery. We have seen JOYBOOK5000 battery package is actually a good group of batteries, a battery designed by the shell, FRU 92P1141, FRU 92P1137, 02K6651, 02K6928, 02K6620, 02K7039, ThinkPad X60 and protection circuit group consists of three parts. Niche here for details on batteries and circuits to protect an important part of the two, so that we can all work on the principle of the battery has a basic understanding in order to be able to use the correct maintenance of your notebook battery so that it Better for you.

Forget Wii - Fit! I’m talking Laptop Fit Baby!

Welcome to a Laptop battery specialist of the IBM Laptop battery  First post by: www.itbattery.com
In addition to the notebook processing power by the people's attention, there is an indicator of considerable concern to users, and that is battery life. In addition to Chinese consumers for carrying a notebook, more importantly, it does not need to be limited by the power, do not have to need a long "tail", in the absence of an external power supply can also be occasions to use as usual, so the battery for users It is a very sensitive thing, if put in a notebook around, but no battery power, and that scales with a weight belt is no different. Therefore, to understand their own laptop battery life is the time users on the occasion of the imminent and urgent need to avoid the use of the IBM Laptop battery, IBM ThinkPad T40, IBM ThinkPad T41 when it "strikes". In this regard, what should we be more "authority" to detect the use of battery time? Nanbu Cheng us with a stopwatch to time? In fact, there is special software on the battery life for more objective assessment, for example, Battery Mark, Battery Eater, MobileMark2002 and so on. To introduce a more authoritative, but also the application of a relatively large number of software testing battery Battery Mark and the use of attention should be paid.

First of all, let us together find out the Battery Mark principle of it. In fact, Battery Mark use the built-in Graphics engine, Processor engine, Disk engine, Think engine, 4 engines to simulate the actual operation of the battery power consumption. 4 passage of the engine cycle between the non-stop operation of the simulation environment for users to a comprehensive IBM ThinkPad T42 of tests to the specific situation. Every 2 to 3 minutes to test the software will automatically save the data to a specific directory below. When the battery will run out to complete, automatic shutdown before the last save as a result of the test will be the end result.

(Small knowledge: Graphics engine simulation multimedia notebook during the course of the operation. Processor engine is simulated in the notebook IBM ThinkPad T43 in high-load environment. Disk engine simulation of actual use of them working hard. Think engine in practice simulation in a notebook idle state Environment.)

Usage

Some of the software to understand the basic situation, then let us take a look at how to operate the set.

Run the premise is that we have to charge the notebook's IBM ThinkPad R50 to full power, then the system shut down a number of related management systems, which shut down the specific needs, see below.

First of all, should close the screen saver, if the screen open procedure, the test process, there may be a matter of time and activate the screen saver. Right-click on the desktop, choose "Properties" and "Screen Saver" page to screen selected as the program "(no)", then "application."

Click on the next page in the lower right corner of the "Power" button, be able to enter the power management, power scheme will be following all the items are changed to "never."

Switch to the "warning" page will be "less IBM ThinkPad R51 alarm" and "a serious shortage of battery alarm" two Duigou are removed.

Switch to the "dormancy" of the page to see the "start dormant" in front of check whether there are (now the vast majority of notebooks will be able to activate dormant features of the system) and, if so, will remove the hook. Then click "OK", this has been shut down power management.

Battery Mark because of the Graphics engine needs to show some full-screen graphics, and some sub-standard screen resolution of 1024X768 resolution, the first adjustment will be mandatory for 1024X768, if more than 1024X768 resolution would not have had. Also due to ibm FRU 08K8193 , IBM 92P1060 Mark in full-screen display and in the middle between the switch and the task bar will have a negative impact, it is best to the task bar at the top of the total removal of the option.

All of the above are Windows power management bring their own set of procedures, some of the larger manufacturers will have its own dedicated power management procedures, the basic substance of the same, as long as the above, in accordance with the principles of setting it. (Of course, the above is set for the media for the evaluation, as individuals in the test of time, manufacturers can use its own allocation of special procedures, the test of time the IBM 08K8214, IBM 08K8195 will be a little bit long)

After a of settings above, basically there is no need to set up the other, then we can run the Battery Mark (the beginning of the procedure → → Ziff Davis Media BenchMarks → Ziff Davis Media Battery Mark 4.0.1), but we do not have to be anxious Disconnect the power supply, because there are behind the "long" things to look at it.

First of all we see is the screen License. At this point the page on the "Proceed" for the gray can not click, we simply rolled on the right side of the scroll bar at the bottom, "Proceed" button will automatically become available IBM 08K8193.

Then the software will be prompted to fill in with the names of organizations, here we can not fill, do not care.

Following the confirmation page, click "OK" on it.

After "a lot of hard work", has finally seen the "truth." That just spent a long time ago and have only a little more than the beginning. Here are a few options:

1.Run (test)

2.Save results (save the test results)

3.Compare results (results of the comparison)

4.Help (help)

Click Run, software, hardware platform will be tested to see if it meets the requirements, if not you can not continue to run IBM 08K8192 Mark. (Black mark in line with the machines that test the minimum requirements; yellow X machines, although that did not meet the minimum requirements, but also can finish the whole test; red X machines were unable to finish the whole test.)

According to the "next step" will show that the so-called Battery Mark minimum configuration requirements.

"The next step," there is a full page of English here, Battery Mark will once again stressed the resolution as well as the adjustment of the taskbar to hide the problem. At the bottom of the test is needed to install the font what the requirements are generally No missing fonts (not the lack of fonts).

You Dianfan feel, is an interface in the top of our concern is not specified. In order to avoid the testing process by the impact of other procedures, IBM 92P1101, IBM 92P1089 Mark will automatically detect the program is running, side by side, if the yellow X, will not have an impact.

Then this page has suggested that if the software runs on Windows Me system, the first ME "system restore" feature off, or will affect the test.

Zhongyu Ao under this end, than the feeling of the Long March was also hard at this point "to complete" could be the beginning of the test (if it happened in front of a red X, will complete the button is gray.).

Fainted, was to deceive the feelings of the software. This is a test page IBM 92P1087, IBM 08K8194 Mark and machine power management procedures compatible Continue at the beginning of testing. (As the old models for the power management compatibility, Battery Mark for a dedicated power management compatibility less)

If the point of no big changes (only the bottom), 60 seconds after the emergence of Retry with the Cancel option at this time we should be bold by Cancel, will not fall into the cycle of death.

At this point a warning will pop up, suggesting Battery Mark will be no power management of the operation, according to the F3 to continue, according to exit Esc.

F3 test by entering the selection window, where we can choose Conditioning Run and Life Test of two test mode. Conditioning Run full load model, which is called 3 engine: Graphics engine, Processor engine, Disk engine, simulation notebook in a large workload of the state for a long time IBM 08K8196, IBM 92P1102. Conditioning Run compared with the model, Life Test model with a multi-engine Think engine, the main simulation in the practical application of these notebooks. Under normal circumstances, Life Test mode than Conditioning Run mode for a long time 30% -40%.

Choose to test the project, according to the F3, there will be a warning (Does not have the power management of the test). At this point the power adapter disconnected, and then press F3 to start.

If the wrong selection of test items, the need to withdraw from the case by F3, and then again by confirmation from the F3. Choosing the right to re-test to test (to remember the first first full power).

As for the test of time, depending on the specific model. As measured by the author before the Sony TX, C mode, running a total of more than 4 hours, while the L model run, a night to sleep, wake up the next morning, not run, a full 7 hours. However, under normal circumstances, even if another big-power (or small-capacity IBM 92P1077, IBM 92P1073), have generally come to an hour, so we can go red cup of coffee, look at Bianhe Bian-series, read again, it is estimated that almost nine.

Notes:

1. Life Test in the test, the general is to adjust the screen brightness to 50 (some models in the use of batteries, will automatically reduce the brightness of the screen, this time to go without their adjustment), if the laptop's own Special software can be transferred to the best IBM 08K8199 performance mode. And Conditioning Run mode, then the best would be transferred to a maximum brightness of the screen, the software settings for optimal performance mode.

1.Battery Mark memory of a certain request, if the memory of the relatively low death may occur, the proposed system, Win98, at least 64MB RAM or more, Win2k more than 128MB system, WinXP 256MB or more in order to avoid the crash occurred.

2. Attention to the settings should be revised, such as the power to use the program, warning, status bar, the screen saver, hibernation, we should double-check if there are any omissions, affect the accuracy of test results.

3. Battery Mark sometimes run the wrong time, the user need not worry as long as a good restart, but also in front and then continued to interrupt the test.

4. Lithium IBM 08K8198, IBM 08K8197, IBM 92P1075 because of the limited number of charge and discharge, and occasionally you will not run on life have much effect, but if too frequent use of the Battery Mark test, will affect battery life.

what’s happening to spent rechargeable batteries

Welcome to a
Laptop Batteries
of the HP Laptop Battery  First post by: www.itbattery.com



Today’s common household batteries—those ubiquitous AAs, AAAs, Cs, Ds and 9-volts from Duracell, Energizer and others—are not thought to pose as great a threat to properly equipped modern landfills as they used to because they contain much less mercury than their predecessors. As a result, most municipalities now recommend simply throwing such HSTNN-DB02, Pavilion ZV5000 away with your trash.

Battery Disposal or Recycling?

Nevertheless, environmentally concerned consumers might feel better recycling such batteries anyway, as they still do contain trace amounts of mercury and other potentially toxic stuff. Some municipalities will accept these Pavilion DV1000 (as well as older, more toxic ones) at household hazardous waste facilities, from which they will most likely be sent elsewhere to be processed and recycled as components in new batteries.

How to Recycle Batteries

Other options abound, such as the mail-order service, Solutions, which will recycle your spent batteries at a cost of 85 cents per pound. To find a company near you where you can drop off your old batteries for recycling, check out the comprehensive national database at the Earth911.org website. Meanwhile, the national chain, PF723A Plus, is happy to take back disposable batteries for recycling at any of its 255 retail stores coast-to-coast.

Older Batteries Should Always Be Recycled

Consumers should note that any old Presario M2000 they may find buried in their closets that were made before 1997—when Congress mandated a widespread mercury phase-out in batteries of all types—should most surely be recycled and not discarded with the trash, as they may contain as much as 10 times the mercury of newer versions.

The Problem of Rechargeable Batteries

Perhaps of greater concern nowadays is what’s happening to spent rechargeable batteries from cell phones, MP3 players and laptops. Such items contain potentially toxic heavy metals sealed up inside, and if thrown out with the regular garbage can jeopardize the environmental integrity of both landfills and incinerator emissions. Luckily, the industry sponsors the operations of the Rechargeable Recycling Corporation (RBRC), which facilitates the collection of used rechargeable batteries collected in an industry-wide “take back” program for recycling.

Additional Recycling Options

Consumers can help by limiting their electronics purchases to items that carry the RBRC logo on their packaging. Furthermore, they can find out where to drop off old rechargeable batteries (and even old cell phones) by calling RBRC’s hotline at 1-800-8BATTERY or by visiting the online drop location finder at RBRC.org. Also, most Radio Shack stores will take back rechargeable Presario V2000, Pavilion dv2000, HSTNN-LB31 and deliver them to RBRC free-of-charge. RBRC then processes the batteries via a thermal recovery technology that reclaims metals such as nickel, iron, cadmium, lead and cobalt, repurposing them for use in new batteries.

HP 346970-001 battery

A, which is actually an electric cell, is a device that produces electricity from a chemical reaction. Strictly speaking, a F3172A consists of two or more cells connected in series or parallel, but the term is generally used for a single cell. A cell consists of a negative electrode; an electrolyte, which conducts ions; a separator, also an ion conductor; and a positive electrode. Continue with How Batteries Work/Battery Types

Timeline of History



1748 - Benjamin Franklin first coined the term "battery" to describe an array of charged glass plates.

1780 to 1786 - Luigi Galvani demonstrated what we now understand to be the electrical basis of nerve impulses and provided the cornerstone of research for later inventors like Volta.

1800 - Alessandro Volta invented the voltaic pile and discovered the first practical method of generating electricity. Constructed of alternating discs of zinc and copper with pieces of cardboard soaked in brine between the metals, the voltic pile produced electrical current. The metallic conducting arc was used to carry the electricity over a greater distance. Alessandro Volta's voltaic pile was the first "wet cell OmniBook 6000, F1739A " that produced a reliable, steady current of electricity.

1836 - Englishman, John F. Daniel invented the Daniel Cell that used two electrolytes: copper sulfate and zinc sulfate. The Daniel Cell was somewhat safer and less corrosive then the Volta cell.

1839 - William Robert Grove developed the first fuel cell, which produced electrical by combining hydrogen and oxygen.

1839 to 1842 - Inventors created improvements to batteries that used liquid electrodes to produce electricity. Bunsen (1842) and Grove (1839) invented the most successful.

1859 - French inventor, Gaston Plante developed the first practical storage lead-acid that could be recharged (secondary). This type of Omnibook XE is primarily used in cars today.

1866 - French engineer, Georges Leclanche patented the carbon-zinc wet cell called the Leclanche cell. According to The History of Batteries: "George Leclanche's original cell was assembled in a porous pot. The positive electrode consisted of crushed manganese dioxide with a little carbon mixed in. The negative pole was a zinc rod. The cathode was packed into the pot, and a carbon rod was inserted to act as a currency collector. The anode or zinc rod and the pot were then immersed in an ammonium chloride solution. The liquid acted as the electrolyte, readily seeping through the porous cup and making contact with the cathode material. The liquid acted as the electrolyte, readily seeping through the porous cup and making contact with the cathode material."

1868 - Twenty thousand of Georges Leclanche's cells were now being used with telegraph equipment.

1881 - J.A. Thiebaut patented the first F2024B with both the negative electrode and porous pot placed in a zinc cup.

1881 - Carl Gassner invented the first commercially successful dry cell (zinc-carbon cell).

1899 - Waldmar Jungner invented the first nickel-cadmium rechargeable.

1901 - Thomas Alva Edison invented the alkaline storage Omnibook XE3

.

1949 - Lew Urry invented the small alkaline.

1954 - Gerald Pearson, Calvin Fuller and Daryl Chapin invented the first solar.

Alessandro Volta

Biography of Alessandro Volta the inventor of the first practical in 1880.

Alkaline

Lew Urry developed the small alkaline in 1949. The inventor was working for the Eveready Co. at their research laboratory in Parma, Ohio. Alkaline batteries last five to eight times as long as zinc-carbon cells, their predecessors. This was not a patentable invention, since Volta and others long ago created the principles of batteries.

Solar

A solar converts the sun's energy to electricity. In 1954, Gerald Pearson, Calvin Fuller and Daryl Chapin invented the first solar. The inventors created an array of several strips of silicon (each about the size of a razorblade), placed them in sunlight, captured the free electrons and turned them into electrical current. Bell Laboratories in New York announced the prototype manufacture of a new solar 346970-001. Bell had funded the research. The first public service trial of the Bell Solar began with a telephone carrier system (Americus, Georgia) on October 4 1955.

The history of photovoltaics includes the discovery of the solar. PV is the technological basis for solar power.

For notebook computers, batteries can be said to be a more important component, and its performance is directly related to the lack of power in the notebook computer in an environment of the ability to work. The notebook computer HP laptop battery, HP F4809A battery in many of the components is also an out-of consumables, it involves the laptop battery maintenance and reasonable use of the forum is often discussed. On the notebook's battery kept on hold at the time exactly how much more than that to stay in power and whether or not the use of AC when the battery is removed, are not always what a unified answer. I watch a lot of foreign players in the experience, they will sum up the general point of view, for your reference. After reading this article, you will find many of their claims and generally we have received the recommendation of how many there are some differences.





Li-ion battery in a life cycle in general can be 300-500 times take the necessary and sufficient. Therefore, many people believe that as long as the use of batteries so that it can to a certain extent, played a role in extending the battery life. But they overlooked the battery is indeed the physical nature of the original, when the battery went down the end of the assembly line, its internal clock of life began to move about. Therefore, even if you do not have to set aside the HP F4809A battery, lithium battery life of only two to three years will be able to come to an end of. Battery capacity caused by the reasons for the decline is due to oxidation caused by the increase in battery internal resistance. When the cell resistance reaches a certain point, this time even though the battery still be full of electricity, but the battery has been unable to release the stored electricity.

Caused by lithium batteries that the rate of aging by the temperature and time set aside to preserve the state of charge and the decision. I will give a table to illustrate two different factors on the battery capacity.



 

Forms can be seen by the high state of charge and high temperature accelerated the decline of the battery capacity. Therefore, if possible, try to charge the battery to 40% placed in a cool place to preserve. This will in the long term preservation so that the battery protection circuitry themselves in a state of the work. If the battery is fully charged will be placed under high temperature, so that the battery will cause great damage, the table has seen a 100% charge in 60 ° C to preserve the environment, 3 months after the battery capacity dropped by 40% . Thus, in addressing how to preserve the HP F4812A battery, Compaq 319411-001 battery, Compaq Presario 2100 battery on this issue, at the same time we have been led to the focus of another controversy, and that is when we fixed the use of power, whether it is necessary to remove the battery? Until this question is answered in the Let's first look at the use of fixed-power battery when placed in the computer environment ... ... at this time due to the laptop charging circuit protection, so that the battery remained at 100% of full capacity, and this When the battery's temperature at least between 25-30 ° C, if the hot weather, the temperature will be higher, then from the table, you should be very natural to come to a conclusion that is so In fact would do damage to cells, which led to a decline in capacity.





However, despite the use of laptop computers, high temperatures will bring damage to the battery. However, the battery removed, only the use of fixed power, there will still be some danger that dust and moisture will cause some damage to the battery, and laptop computers in order to avoid the use of the environment for all of a sudden power notebook computers may be caused by injury, so In general, manufacturers are warning users not to remove the Compaq Presario 2500 battery. Of course, such a result can imagine the natural, often because of your battery in such a relatively poor business environment, it will not be long over, then you need to repair the new center to replace the battery, then the benefit The manufacturer is a natural.

Finally, an eye-catching is the focal point of lithium batteries how reasonable charge and discharge the problem. The lithium battery is carried out for the best part of the discharge, rather than fully discharged, and as much as possible to avoid the often complete discharge. Often the battery too low discharge of the battery so that the results can only be scrapped in advance, because if the battery on each unit below 2.5 volts, the battery's internal safety circuit will be switched on, this time of the battery would be some bad spent. Therefore, in order to avoid the occurrence of such cases, not to save Compaq Presario NX9010 battery power before it's too completely, but should be stored until a number of electric charge, and again before the first full use of electricity.

All in all, in order not to make your battery's too early to lose, so in normal use, you should try to abide by the following principles:

A. avoid full discharge, and often for lithium batteries. The repeated and arbitrary charging of the lithium battery damage is very small, almost negligible.

B. will need to be set aside to preserve the lithium batteries under the shade, remember not to put the refrigerator. Avoid high temperature on the car, such as long preservation, the battery will charge to 40% after the placement.

C. If you do most of the time in the use of fixed power, remove the batteries placed in the shade.

D. no need to purchase spare lithium Compaq Presario NX9000 battery,
HP F2299A battery for storage, so this is actually a waste of battery.

The laptop battery is used to use, as long as attention to the reasonable use and custody of the way, there is no need for excessive care, it's as much as possible for it to contribute more masters of the performance is what matters.

some errors of a battery factory

From the notebook of the birth of the day, the Pavilion ZD7000 on the controversy has never stopped, because of persistent use of laptops is a very important indicator of technology, and the capacity of the determines that laptop's important indicator. In the end how can we maximize the use of the to play the effect of extending the life of it? Now, we all set out for a few people often vulnerable to the misunderstanding: (without all that for now the most commonly used lithium-ion)

I, for the first time the use of batteries, three times before the need to charge 12 hours?

This is totally unnecessary. Because the laptop has improved power management circuits and charging management system, when the CGR-B1870AE, PP2182D , 338794-001 reached saturation, the control circuit will automatically switch to the open state, so long as the line is full, does not mean that you will be able to charge more for a long time with longer The.

Second, in order to prevent the memory effect, should it run out of electric charge it?

Every time charge of discharge before it is not necessary, but also harmful. Practice has proved that as: the depth of the will discharge unnecessary to shorten life, when the proposal to use about 10% of the Pavilion dv8000 can be recharged when the. When the, of course, there are still more than 30% of electricity when it would be better not to charge, because the memory effect is real.

Third, insert AC, the should be to win in order to prevent repeated charge and discharge it?

I suggest that is: do not have to! Of course, you can get lithium-ion Pavilion dv9000discharge natural to refute me, saying that in the natural discharge the, if there is access to power will be repeated charge-discharge, reduced life. I give you a "no" answer to the following reasons:

1. Notebooks now have the power control circuit design of the features: When the is 90% (as most of the models) or 95% of the charge will be, and to achieve this through the natural discharge capacity of 2 hours a week , When the Pavilion ZT3000 , 337607-001 , 337607-003 do not have to idle for about a month to complete in order to maintain the charge and discharge capacity at this time you should be concerned about the should be about training the body and not be left idle after the re-charging.

2. Even if the "unfortunate" was once again charge, the loss will not be brought about by the long period of time than the consumption caused by the large decline in the number.

3. Your data than you or your notebook batteries are much more valuable, not only power all of a sudden you have a notebook injury, is unable to restore the data it is too late to regret the.

Fourth, long-term need to preserve power is full of it?

Read the following table on this clear: (percentage of saturation at the time of the initial value of the relative percentage)

Storage temperature of 40% of the state-of-charge 100% state of charge

0 degrees 98% (after one year) 94% (after one year)

25 degrees 96% (after one year) 80% (after one year)

40 degrees 85% (after one year) 65% (after one year)

60 degrees 75% (after one year) 60% (3 months)



It is clear that if the long-term preservation of the F4486B, as far as possible on the dry and low temperature environment so that the remaining power in about 40% of the best. Of course, the best month we should come out with a, the can ensure a good state of preservation, and not let the loss of full electricity and cell damage.

Fifth, as far as possible in how to use the notebook to extend the use of time?

1. To reduce the brightness of the screen. However, large-screen LCD power consumption, reduce the brightness can be used to extend the time.

2. PowerPlay and open SpeedStep power-saving features, and so on. Now the notebook and display processor chips have a lower frequency and voltage to extend the use of the function of the time, open the corresponding options can significantly extend the Presario R3000 life.

3. The use of hard disk drive and the deceleration of the software: NERO DriveSpeed, PowerBooster software can reduce the drive, hard disk drives, such as speed, can effectively reduce the power consumption of the notebook.

4. Make the best use of standby, sleep and other functions. When a longer period of time do not have a computer that allows notebook standby or hibernation, both to save power and extend the service life of the computer.

Sixth, final:

Of course, talking about more than just five regular user experience, as well as the general situation compared to confuse users. For the maintenance of notebook Pavilion DV1000 , PF723A , OmniBook 6000 subject, I believe that as you use the more you will find, however, the same as the continuous development of the notebook computer, you may find problems in the future notebook computers may no longer Become a problem

to know something about laptop batteries

Welcome to a Laptop battery specialist of the Fujitsu Laptop battery  First post by: www.itbattery.com



Fujitsu FPCBP80 battery

We buy a notebook, is the value of its mobility. Today's laptop computers, are all built of Health have a good, so we are all generally small size of the view that mobility is better. In fact, not necessarily to decide whether the notebook mobility of qualified, but also an important factor - Fujitsu FPCBP80. Why? We can imagine that if you buy a smaller size laptop, but battery life is not ideal, but not the kind of depressed mood to vent. Today, on Xiaobian to tell you is that, on the notebook's battery-related knowledge.

First of all, we have to find out the type of notebook batteries. At present, the use of the laptop batteries were divided into three types: 1. Nickel-chromium batteries, 2. Ni-MH battery, 3. Lithium batteries. They said that on the side: Ni-Cd NI-CD, Ni-MH NI-MH, Li-electric LI.



Nickel-cadmium (niege) Battery: It is the end of the 19th century by the Swedish inventor of such batteries have the so-called memory effect, what is the specific memory effect, we just give an example, you: When a battery is fully charged, It can be a continuous electrical discharge 60 minutes. Now we have to use this section of the batteries for electric discharge, discharge to 30 minutes to stop, and then this section for charging the Fujitsu FPCBP77, Fujitsu FPCBP68, good and sufficient power to continue to discharge after 30 minutes, each time for not fully discharged, after repeated operations N This section will have a battery memory effect, after the use of the process, when the battery discharge after 30 minutes, it is no longer the output current, that is to say, this section of the battery capacity has been cut in half. Ni-Cd memory effect is very serious.



Ni-MH battery: Ni-Cr early battery alternatives, greatly reduces the nickel-cadmium batteries in the existence of a "memory effect", which makes nickel-metal hydride Toshiba PA2487U , Toshiba PA3107U-1BRS , Toshiba PA3383U-1BRS can be more convenient to use. Nickel-metal hydride batteries and nickel-cadmium Fujitsu FPCBP63 , Fujitsu FPCBP95 are basically the same as the cathode, are for the positive electrode nickel hydroxide. The main difference is the nickel-cadmium batteries used in the cathode active material is cadmium, nickel metal hydride batteries and high-energy based hydrogen storage alloy for the negative electrode, the nickel-metal hydride batteries have more energy.

Nickel-metal hydride batteries are the main characteristics of 5:00:

1, the energy density than nickel-cadmium Toshiba PA3384U-1BRS twice as large.

2, round after round of 500 to complete the cycle of charge and discharge.

3, with the door side of the charger can be recharged in one hour fast charge.

4, self-discharge characteristics than the nickel-cadmium batteries, rechargeable can be retained for a longer time.

5, up to 3 times more efficient discharge in a row.



Lithium battery: lithium battery is from a class of lithium metal or lithium alloy anode materials for the use of non-aqueous electrolyte solution of the battery. 20 of these batteries is the actual success of the development of a new type of high-energy Toshiba PA3285U-1BRS , Toshiba PA3191U-1BRS , Toshiba PA3166U-1BRS, has a high-energy, high-voltage battery, operating temperature range, long storage life, and other advantages.

Lithium batteries have a home page features 7:00:

1, high-energy high-density. Lithium-ion batteries are the same weight capacity of Ni-Cd or Ni-MH battery half of the volume is 40-50% of the nickel-cadmium, nickel hydrogen 20-30%.

2, high-voltage, a single lithium battery's voltage to the work of 3.7V (average), the equivalent of three series of nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal hydride Toshiba PA3331U-1BRS , Toshiba PA3098U-1BRS , Toshiba PA3084U-1BRS .

3, pollution-free, lithium-ion Toshiba PA3399U-1BRS , Toshiba PA3395U-1BRS do not contain such as cadmium, lead, mercury and such harmful metals.

4, does not contain lithium and lithium-ion battery does not contain lithium, which is not on the Prohibition of the transport plane carrying aircraft in the lithium battery, and other provisions.

5, high cycle life, under normal conditions, lithium-ion Toshiba PA3250U-1BRS charge and discharge cycles can be more than 500 times.

6, no memory effect, the memory effect is the nickel-cadmium batteries in the charge-discharge cycle, reducing the capacity of the battery. Lithium-ion batteries that effect does not exist.

7, the use of rated voltage of 4.2V voltage constant current charger can make lithium-ion battery in 1-2 hours to be in full charge.

Well, to find out about the battery type and characteristics, we come to find out the battery power of the issue.

There are a lot of people buy a laptop when the battery is about to start, and configure their business only on a single reading of the battery capacity of xxxxmAh not write battery voltage, in fact, the true reprint battery energy is not the size of the unit mAh but Wh. Battery power is based on a formula: battery power (Wh) = battery voltage (V) x battery capacity (Ah). Please note that here is the battery capacity Ah, not mAh, 1Ah = 1000mAh. For example, touch the Toshiba PA3356U-1BRS ,Toshiba PA3291U-1BRS block is the nominal 10.8V/2200mAh, it is the power of 10.8Vx2200mAh/1000 = 23.76Wh. The battery voltage and capacity in general will be marked on the battery, their calculations on the know. Some manufacturers will not be marked on the battery specifications, so we can only use the software to be tested.

Battery power in this respect we need to note that the replacement of the battery problems. And the battery charger is inseparable, that is, we are talking about normal power supply. If you want to replace the battery, you may choose the same model to use the same power, we can be assured that the replacement of business when you have to be clear. At the same time, the Chargers also need the attention. All notebook models of voltage and current, and even interfaces are different, common to a variety of models with "compatible charger", more expensive than the original. Even the interface is like, different voltage and current notebook is not working. If the voltage lower than the current standard of value, then the laptop at full speed in the work will lead to shortage of power supply, so that the battery is a lot of harm. If the voltage higher than the current standard of value, notebook and even the roots will not be able to boot or not to start charging, the board may eventually lead to burning. So choose a good charger, the notebook's Toshiba PA3506U-1BRS , Toshiba PA3591U-1BRS , Toshiba Portege 4000 maintenance is very important.

There are many of my friends are concerned about this problem because there is no knowledge that it dares not reckless action. On the one hand, is a charger, if the batteries die, you can replace the batteries.

In fact, there is also a battery inside the batteries, long way from our usual battery used almost only to be larger. Many of the batteries are designed with a self-locking function, in other words, once the Toshiba Satellite A10 Series , Toshiba Satellite A100 out of control circuit, it will enter the self-locking state. Into the self-locking state battery, will not be able to work on the battery become obsolete, only certain way in order to unlock, which only professional engineers can. Therefore, we can only choose to replace the battery core. Battery replacement batteries can not be so arbitrary, and we hope to find more professional personnel to replace. If his replacement, an end-of-life battery is small, but that effort did not succeed in the fight against what is the most depressing.



Most people should be worried about is that the bombing of the notebook, in fact, we may very puzzled why the battery and then the explosion? The main reason is that manufacturers should be poor-quality work, resulting in the use of short-circuit in an explosion injuries. However, there are also a part of the reason is because the user caused by improper use. Many users may encounter such problems, only when the battery charge to 99% charge is less than 100%. In fact, this is only a problem if the charge to 99% can not continue to charge the battery, Toshiba Satellite A70 , Toshiba Satellite A75 that has been filled. If we or always sufficient, the last on the battery is likely to lead to an explosion.

On the notebook's battery maintenance, Xiao Bian here with you no more, I believe there are many on-line article on battery maintenance. With knowledge of the battery Xiaobian only know so much, we can provide help so much, and I hope you can help
