Extending the life of Laptop Battery

Does your laptop shutdown when power is gone? Do you need to change your laptop's battery after short spans? Here are few tips to extend the life of a laptop battery:

*Every battery has got it own charge circle, some 100 times, some may be less or more.Take out battery when using AC adaptor, this way the battery won't charge every time you use it.The best method to retain the life of battery is always try to use the battery only when you need ,means if you have power supply then go for it and remove the battery. It minimises the circles of recharging the battery again and again.

*Charge your battery only when it run out or when you know you need to use it outdoor next day. Some laptop provide a program to recalibrate your battery, use it at least once every 6 months. (as Asus provide it under bios setting).

* NEVER EVER discharge the battery to below 20% capacity. Lithium ion batteries will be put under extreme stress with every deep discharge. If you keep the battery at 0% charge for a few months, a copper shunt will actually form in the battery and when you try to charge it the shunt acts as a short circuit and the battery will catch fire.

* If you're not going to be using the battery, charge it to exactly 40%, take it out of the laptop and store it somewhere cold. Do not leave the battery at 100% charge needlessly, because the wear process is accelerated at 100% charge and is significantly slower at low temperatures and 40% charge.
