DELL laptop battery applications and maintenance
When you first bought a new laptop, remember to fully charged, and then run Software Update to ensure that your computer is equipped with the latest software. DELL regularly releases software updates to enhance the performance of the battery.
Standard maintenance
It is very important for the maintenance of lithium batteries, is to the electronic let the battery at all times maintain a flow state. DELL Vostro V130 battery recommends that you do not always use the laptop power supply. The ideal use, use your DELL notebook computer batteries when they go out, and back to the office after the use of power for charging. This can maintain the flow of the liquid state of the battery. On the other hand, if you are using a desktop computer in the company, and only occasionally using a laptop while on the go, DELL recommends that you at least once a month for the battery charging and discharging time. Need to remind you? Add an event in your desktop's iCal calendar to remind you.
Long-term storage
If your laptop will be idle for over half a year, DELL recommends that you remove the battery, and maintained at 50% of the power of the state. If the store when the power is zero, the battery will result due to excessive discharge can not afford any charge. Instead, if the storage battery is fully charged, will be loss of battery capacity, that shorten battery usage time. Please remove the batteries stored in the appropriate temperature. (See "laptop temperature")
Optimal settings
You can choose the DELL laptop to use in order to maximize battery operating time.
Energy: Energy Saver control panel to provide you with multiple setting options to control the electricity consumption of the DELL laptop. As long as a boot, the computer will run to set. In the state of the power control settings, the computer will own screen brightness dimmed, and moderate use of other features. If you change the setting to maximize performance, the battery will run out faster. % N7 Z8 q: Q4 o / U-{2 V
Brightness: transferred to the screen the most low-grade comfortable brightness allows the battery to maximize the use of time. For example, when you watch a DVD on the plane, around all the lights off, you do not need the strongest brightness of the screen.
AirPort wireless network: Even if you do not use the AirPort networking capabilities, it will also power consumption. Therefore, in order to save power, you can turn it off in the control panel.
Bluetooth wireless connection: Similarly, the Bluetooth function also in the case of non-use electricity consumption, So you do not need to use this feature to turn it off, in order to extend battery usage time.
Applications and external devices: to disconnect temporarily use an external device and Exit unused applications. Exit do not need when you insert the CD and DVD from the optical drive.
Battery Life
DELL laptop battery properly maintained, after 300 charge and discharge cycles, is still able to retain 80% of the original battery capacity. When your battery has enough power can not be stored to maintain operating needs, you need to replace the battery.
Maintenance of the DELL XPS 15 battery
DELL laptop is a standard the composite lithium ion battery (lithium battery for short), the structure of the physical characteristics of the lithium is a high power, no memory effect. Any lithium battery power supply battery management controller (PMU), the implementation of the regularity effective charge control. Therefore, the lithium battery must use the original charging adapter, so as to achieve effective and safe application. Lithium that features no memory effect, which means no need for charge depletion capacitance, lithium at any power level, and are suitable for charging and want to charge to charge, do not want to charge on consumption dormant until the automatic shutdown. Lithium is generally calculated charge cycle life, the theory of the cycle is 500 (+ / -15%), full again considered a cycle consumes 30% of electricity adjourned to the charge, the PMU not count a cycle. DELL notebook power adapter, and DELL PMU / SMC is a smart, not depleted lithium batteries can not be 100%, therefore PMU / SMC will continue to monitor the charge level of the lithium battery, depleted to 5% of the electricity that is self-activation books dormancy, forced shutdown to protect the lithium battery does not run out of dead. This moment should then listed charge lithium battery power adapter with the PMU / SMC battery management controller, will achieve 70% recovery charge, fast charge, slow charge 70% in place, 95% of electricity implemented drip charge, until the drip charge to 100% auto-off charge. Therefore, the books often connected to the original charging adapter is 200% no problem. Lithium battery if less than 95% of the electricity capacity while connecting mains charging adapter itself implementation drip break automatically charged to 100% charge. Without dismantling lithium battery, it is ignorant, lost books mobility original intent, lithium batteries can also be invalidated because of long-term storage and is unable to implement the re-charging. DELL notebook lithium battery, without too persistent, like how to use despite the use, there is no need to calculate the charge cycle every day, the Tomahawk also seen some new DOA lithium battery, also seen some 700 cycles of lithium battery. In short, charging or not charging worth mentioning the books of the lithium battery connected to your DELL notebook, continue to let it play its proper function. DELL XPS 17 battery
