the laptop computer (4)


the laptop computer Components


Battery - Current laptops utilize lithium ion batteries, with more recent models using the new


lithium polymer technology. These two technologies have largely replaced the older nickel


metal-hydride batteries. Typical battery life for standard laptops is two to five hours of light-


duty use, but may drop to as little as one hour when doing power-intensive tasks. Batteries'


performance gradually decreases with time, leading to an eventual replacement in one to five


years, depending on the charging and discharging pattern. This large=capacity main battery


should not be confused with the much smaller battery nearly all computers use to run the real-


time clock and to store the BIOS configuration in the CMOS memory when the computer is off.
