Increasing Notebook Battery Power（五）

Increasing Notebook Battery Power（五）

Keeping good care of the battery also prolongs its life. To maximize performance of nickel-metal

hydride batteries, they have to be completely drained off before they are recharged. However,

lithium-ion batteries do not need cycling/ conditioning, and they do not suffer from memory

effects. Hence, they need not be fully drained off before recharging. When the notebook is not in

use for an extended period, the battery pack should be removed to avoid battery leakage. Before
removing the battery pack, you should charge it fully and then remove it, as all kinds of

batteries should always be stored in a fully charged state. Do not store your battery pack along

with metal parts, as this will short-circuit your battery. Utilizing the built-in battery saving

options and other means, you can significantly add one to three hours more in the total capacity

of your notebook battery. Sometimes, in critical situations, like an important meeting, this extra

hour of notebook battery power can help you clinch your desired deal.
