Laptop battery memory effect.<\/p>\n

In lithium-based laptop batteries<\/strong> this is in fact a myth, it only applies to older Niquel-based batteries. So fully discharging and charging the battery is completely useless and even harmful as we will see below.<\/p>\n

The modern lithium notebook battery can be charged regardless of its current percentage, given that it has absolutely no negative effect in its performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Should I remove the laptop battery when\u00a0Dell Inspiron 1720 AC Adapter<\/a><\/strong> is plugged in?<\/strong>Many laptop users have this question and we will answer it right now:
\nThe answer is: YES and NO, it depends on the situation.Having a battery fully charged and the laptop plugged in is not harmful, because as soon as the charge level reaches 100% the battery stops receiving charging energy and this energy is bypassed directly to the power supply system of the laptop.<\/p>\n

However there’s a disadvantage in keeping the battery in its socket when the laptop is plugged in, but only if it’s currently suffering from excessive heating caused by the laptop hardware.<\/p>\n

So:<\/p>\n

– In a normal laptop battery usage<\/a><\/strong>, if the laptop doesn’t get too hot (CPU and Hard Disk around 40\u00baC to 50\u00baC) the battery should remain in the laptop<\/strong> socket;<\/p>\n

– In an intensive usage <\/strong>which leads to a large amount of heat produced (i.e. Games, temperatures above 60\u00baC) the battery should be removed<\/strong> from the socket in order to prevent unwanted heating.<\/p>\n

The heat, among the fact that it has 100% of charge, is the great enemy of the lithium battery and not the plug, as many might think so.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Full battery discharges (until laptop power shutdown, 0%) should be avoided, because this stresses the battery a lot and can even damage it. It’s recommended to perform partial discharges to capacity levels of 20~30% and frequent charges, instead of performing a full discharging followed by a full charging.<\/p>\n

Laptop batteries contain a capacity gauge that allows us to know the exact amount of energy stored. However, due to the charging\/discharging cycles, this sensor tends to be inaccurate overtime.t<\/p>\n

Some laptops include in their BIOS, tools to recalibrate this battery gauge, which is nothing more than a full discharge followed by a full charge.
\nSo to calibrate the gauge<\/strong>, it should be performed, in every 30 discharge cycles, a full discharge non-stop , followed by a also, non-stop, full charge.<\/p>\n

An inaccurate gauge can lead to the fact that the the battery capacity values are are wrong. The\u00a0Dell Vostro 1320 Laptop Battery<\/span><\/a> may report that it still has 10% of capacity when in fact it has a much lower value, and this causes the computer to shutdown unexpectedly.
\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Discharge (or charge) cycles<\/strong> consist of using all that battery charge (100%) but not necessarily all at once.
\nFor example, you can use the laptop for some minutes in a day, using half its battery capacity e then fully charge it. If you did the same thing in the next day, it would be counted a discharge cycle and not two, so it may take several days until a full discharge cycle is completed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
