Most Laptops in the market boast to give a maximum hour per charge upto 7 hours but these laptops hardly last for 3 hours.
A record has been set up when last week Lenovo and HP released laptops battery with maximum 32hrs per charge.
Lithium Battery
Ni-MH battery
Lenovo introduced T-420 that gives 33% longer battery life than its earlier versions. T-420 has 9-cell battery that offers upto 15 hours of battery life and goes upto 30 hours with an extra snap over 9-cell slice battery.
HP launched Elitebook 8460 with 32 hours of battery life per charge.
With the testing the analyst has found that Apple Battery lasts longer per charge than their competitors.
Whether you take HP, Lenovo or any other laptops, few points you should remember for your battery’s longer life.
1) The first thing you should keep in mind is to keep your battery contacts clean. Plug off your system first and take out your battery. There would have been lot of metal contacts gathered over the battery which you have to wipe using a cotton swab dampening it with rubbing alcohol. Allow your battery to dry wholly and then you should reinstall your battery. Do it in every 2-3 months.
2) There are two types of batteries older Nickel based batteries (NiMH) and modern Lithium ion Batteries. Modern Lithium ion battery which is the most effective can discharge and recharge partially without any harmful effects but here you don’t have to be careless. What you need to do is to avoid complete discharge of the battery. When it comes to Nickel Based batteries completely discharge it periodically. What I mean to say is that unplug it and discharge the battery fully and then plug it to charge it fully. Do this once every two to three months as instructed by manufacturers.
3) The most common strategy is to store your battery at cool place. Do not rest it on your bed or pillow which has the every possible chance to trap hot air from the machine. One more step you can follow is to let your laptop cool before you put it inside your laptop bag.
4) If you are not using your laptop for a week or two, please remove the battery and store it in some cool place. Ideally what the manufacturers says, the battery should be half charged for storage.
5) Close your wifi connection, unplug your USB devices such as cameras, pendrive, printers when not in use.
6) Switch on the optimized battery or power feature. This option is there in your laptop system's built-in power management control panel. Control Panel-> Power Options -> Power Schemes.
7) Adjust the Lighting conditions of your laptop. When generally on battery minimize the lighting of your laptop.
