I could easily have spent a fortune replacing the motherboard, the memory, the processor etc when it all came down to 2 dollar battery. What's more is these batteries are easy to get. What you need is a CR2032 available at most hardware stores like home depot and I've even seen them sold in Safeways. Of course every reputable computer cobalt ontario store should stock them. Just check to make sure that your PC uses a CR2032 before you go to the shops!
So from the points I have raised above we can see that we no longer need to condition the battery in the way we did with the older Ni-MH cells. Having said all of that you should always check your lithium facts manual for battery advice and especially initial charge times.
Even the best solution has internal resistance, which it discharges through over time, thus that optimal 40% capacity drips away. Another thing Lithium-Ion cells absolutely loathe apart from heat and being overcharged is being fully discharged.
Laptop computer uses If you keep the lithium bettery stock battery in your laptop for everyday use and power it from the wall socket unplug the power every few days and let it run off the battery as a battery at capacity lasts longer than one at capacity if you don't travel with it you should remove the laptop battery when on fixed power.
Now you want to discharge the battery. If you disable the hibernation setting or anything else that might make the computer go into power saving mode, it would be better. Let the computer run until it shuts down due to loss of battery power, then turn it back on.
Today, many of the latest computers have a fast recharge feature where you can recharge 90 percent of the battery power by charging it for around one hour. The balance 10 percent is recharged slowly. If your laptop has this facility, do use it. This helps to extend the life of the battery. However, do not recharge the laptop battery until it has less than 30 percent charge remaining.
