Notebook battery review

Permanent capacity loss of lithium-ion as a function of temperature and charge level.High charge levels and elevated temperatures hasten permanent capacity loss. Improvements in chemistry have increased the storage performance of lithium-ion batteries.Longevity of lithium-ion as a function of charge and discharge rates. A moderate charge and discharge puts less stress on the Aspire 3000 battery, resulting in a longer cycle life.

The mentioning of limited service life on lithium-ion has caused concern in the battery industry and I will need to add some clarifications.If someone asks how long we humans live, we would soon find out that the longevity varies according to Acer LCBTP03003 life style and living conditions that exist in different countries. Similar conditions exist with the batteries, lithium-ion in particular. Since BatteryUniversity bases its information on the feedback from users as opposed to scientific information derived from a research lab, longevity results may differ from manufacturer’ specifications. Let’s briefly look at the various living conditions of the lithium-ion battery as Pavilion dv6000 Battery .

The worst condition is keeping a fully charged battery at elevated temperatures, which is the case with running laptop batteries as HSTNN-LB31. If used on main power, the battery inside a laptop will only last for 12-18 months. I must hasten to explain that the pack does not die suddenly but begins with reduced run-times.

The voltage level to which the cells are charged also plays an important role to longevity PB995A. For safety reasons, most lithium-ion cannot exceed 4.20 volts per cell. While a higher voltage boosts capacity, the disadvantage is lower cycle life. Figure 2 shows the cycle life as a function of charge voltage.

Battery experts agree that the life of lithium-ion depends on other factors than charge and discharge rates. Even though incremental improvements can be achieved with careful use of the battery as Acer BTP-60A1, our environment and the services required are not always conducive to achieve optimal battery life. The longevity of a battery is often a direct result of the environmental stresses applied.

Simple Guidelines

• Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery as Dell Inspiron 1721 Battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there is no memory. (In this respect, lithium-ion differs from nickel-based batteries.) Short battery life in a laptop is mainly cause by heat rather than charge / discharge patterns.
• Batteries with fuel gauge (BTP-58A1) should be calibrated by applying a deliberate full discharge once every 30 charges. Running the pack down in the equipment does this. If ignored, the fuel gauge will become increasingly less accurate and in some cases cut off the device prematurely.
• Keep the lithium-ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level.
• Consider removing the battery from a laptop when running on fixed power. (Some laptop manufacturers are concerned about dust and moisture accumulating inside the battery casing.)
• Avoid purchasing spare lithium-ion batteries for later use. Observe manufacturing dates. Do not buy old stock, even if sold at clearance prices.
• If you have a spare lithium-ion battery as Dell KD476, use one to the fullest and keep the other cool by placing it in the refrigerator. Do not freeze the battery. For best results, store the battery at 40% state-of-charge.

Battery research is focusing heavily on lithium chemistries, so much so that one could presume that all portable devices will be powered with lithium-ion batteries in the future. In many ways, lithium-ion is superior to nickel and lead-based chemistries HSTNN-LB31 and the applications for lithium-ion batteries are growing as a result.

Lithium-ion has not yet fully matured and is being improved continuously. New metal and chemical combinations are being tried every six months to increase energy density and prolong service life with PB992A. The improvements in longevity after each change will not be known for a few years.

A lithium-ion battery provides 300-500 discharge/charge cycles. The battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a larger battery as HP 530 battery. There is no concern of memory when applying unscheduled charges.

Although lithium-ion is memory-free in terms of performance deterioration, batteries with fuel gauges exhibit what engineers refer to as “digital memory”. Here is the reason: Short discharges with subsequent recharges do not provide the periodic calibration needed to synchronize the fuel gauge with the battery’s state-of-charge. A deliberate full discharge and recharge every 30 charges corrects this problem about Toshiba PA3451U-1BRS. Letting the battery run down to the cut-off point in the equipment will do this. If ignored, the fuel gauge will become increasingly less accurate.

Aging of lithium-ion is an issue that is often ignored. A lithium-ion battery in use typically lasts between 2-3 years. The capacity loss manifests itself in increased internal resistance caused by oxidation. Eventually, the cell resistance reaches a point where the pack can no longer deliver the stored energy although the battery may still have ample charge. For this reason Toshiba PA3450U-1BRS, an aged battery can be kept longer in applications that draw low current as opposed to a function that demands heavy loads. Increasing internal resistance with cycle life and age is typical for cobalt-based lithium-ion, a system that is used for cell phones, cameras and laptops because of high energy density. The lower energy dense manganese-based lithium-ion, also known as spinel, maintains the internal resistance through its life but loses capacity due to chemical decompositions. Spinel is primarily used for power tools.

Manage your batteries can last the use-time of your laptops,but you should treat it seriously.I even have a experience about Sony PCGA-BP2NX and I scroop ,so I want to notice that who is or are eager to manage laptop batteries,”BE CAREFUL”,that’s my suggestions.Generally speaking, batteries live longer if treated in a gentle manner. High charge voltages, excessive charge rate and extreme load conditions will have a negative effect and shorten the battery life. This also applies to high current rate lithium-ion batteries.

Not only is it better to charge lithium-ion battery at a slower charge rate HP 530 battery, high discharge rates also contribute the extra wear and tear. Figure 3 shows the cycle life as a function of charge and discharge rates. Observe the good laboratory performance if the battery is charged and discharged at 1C. (A 0.5C charge and discharge would further improve this rating.)

Windows only software Battery Care helps the user manage laptop batteries in a better way by providing detailed information and advanced functionality that the operating system does not offer. The program is compatible with most Microsoft operating systems including the soon to be released Windows 7. Basic details are provided in the applications main window. This includes the remaining battery capacity, the remaining dell inspiron 1721 battery time, the battery status, battery charge cycles and the cpu temperature of the laptop.

It is easy to switch to detailed information which add information about the total, designed and active capacity of the laptop in mWh, the charge and discharge rate of the laptop battery, the tension, wear level and last calibration date.

One of the most interesting functions of Battery Care is without doubt the monitoring of the battery’s discharge cycle to Sony PCGA-BP71. The program will suggest a full battery recharge every 30 discharge cycles. The software to manage laptop batteries can also be configured to automatically switch power plans based on the power source of the laptop.

The remaining battery as A1185 time and charge percentage is displayed as a icon in the Windows system tray with additional information being displayed in a popup. Battery Care is an excellent laptop battery manager for the Windows operating system. It can be downloaded from the developer’s website.

Battery recycling plants require that the batteries be sorted according to chemistries. Some sorting must be done prior to the battery arriving at the recycling plants. nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal-hydride, lithium?ion and lead acid are placed in designated boxes at the collection point to Dell Inspiron 1501 Battery. Battery recyclers claim that if a steady stream of batteries, sorted by chemistry, were available at no charge, recycling would be profitable. But preparation and transportation add to the cost.

For the processor that best balances performance and battery life though, you need to turn to Intel’s Centrino technology or a later equivalent. Centrino is actually a combination of technologies including chipset, a wireless adapter and a processor. Processors included in Centrino models are either Intel Celeron-M or Pentium-M units, with the former being cheaper at a cost to performance MacBook Pro 15-inch Battery .

Clearly the processor, as with a desktop machine, has a huge role to play in defining the performance of a portable computer. It’s worth noting, though, that because portable machines tend to be used primarily for more mundane tasks, a lower spec processor can often be the wiser buy Apple A1008, especially as they tend to consume less battery power.

We’ll start with AMD. At the time of writing it has a mobile-optimised processor called the AMD Athlon XP-M, and it’s a comparably cheap solution. In terms of raw performance, it doesn’t hold up too well against Intel’s portable processors Dell Inspiron 5100 Battery, but it will happily process basic office tasks without breaking a sweat. AMD also has the useful Mobile Athlon 4, which again targets budget laptops, and again lags slightly behind the Intel competition.

Intel, meanwhile, has plenty up its sleeve. The Pentium 4-M, for instance, is a fast processor, albeit one that doesn’t necessarily maximise battery life. You can also find machines with a desktop Pentium 4 processor inside, but these generate masses of heat and eat battery life faster than anything else (although some machines also feature desktop AMD Athlon 64 chips that have a similar effect). That makes them suitable only for desktop PowerBook G4 Battery  replacement laptops, rather than a machine you’d take out and about with you.

So which should you plump for? If you’re looking for your laptop to be truly portable, then a Centrino-based processor is the best bet, although you will pay a financial premium for the pleasure. These processors will also Dell Inspiron 1525 Battery, incidentally, handle games a lot better than you may expect.

If budgets are tighter, then AMD’s low cost solutions are worth a look though, while if it’s a desktop replacement machine you’re looking for, then one laden with an Athlon 64 or Pentium 4 will neatly do the job.

A machine that’s never going to do more than a bit of office work and Web surfing is never going to require cutting edge specifications, and that’s why budget portables tend to come with 256MB of RAM. Normally when it comes to a desktop machine we’d recommend no less than 512MB and ideally 1GB, yet in the portable environment, providing you’re not one of those people who insists on having dozens of windows open at once, 256MB will get you by Dell Latitude D620 Battery . If the budget stretches, however, 512MB will give you a noticeable performance increase. Is it worth going up to 1GB? Not especially, unless you’re looking to use the machine for gaming or heavy multimedia work.

Laptop hard drives don’t spin as fast as their desktop counterparts, and this is down to the need to limit power consumption. However, it’s only when you take on intensive multimedia work and the likes of high-end games that you’ll really notice any kind of difference in everyday use ToshibaPA3356U-1BRS. Do note, though, that you can get portable machines with drives that spin at 4,200rpm and 5,400rpm, and if you must get optimal performance, then it’s the latter you should opt for. You may end up paying extra for something that doesn’t make an awful lot of difference, though.

As for capacity, this - as you’d expect - is led by what you actually want to do with the machine VGP-BPS8. If it’s a simple, robust office and Internet computer you’re after, then you could be fine with just a 20GB hard drive, although you may opt for 40GB as the price difference isn’t too much. Only if you’re looking at heavy multimedia work or gaming should you really look much higher, and 80GB units aren’t too costly.

The majority of portable machines rely on graphics technology that’s fully integrated into the laptop’s motherboard. Thus, while they’re fine for office applications, DVD playback and suchlike, they struggle when it comes to gaming.

That’s why graphics giants ATI and nVidia have invested so heavily in providing portable versions of their powerful desktop graphics technology. Their products, in terms of power, lag a generation behind their desktop counterparts, but for the vast majority of modern games with  Dell Latitude D620 Battery, that’s not going to cause too many problems (although clearly it’s a lot more difficult - yet not always impossible - to upgrade laptop graphics boards further down the line).

So, at the time of writing you’re looking for the likes of Radeon 9800s and GeForce Go 6800 (at the high end) when it comes to checking out the specs. Cunningly, where manufacturers tend to skimp here is by offering higher end graphics solutions, albeit with only 64MB of graphics RAM. This is probably pointless, and if you are buying a laptop with powerful graphics, ensure that this side of the spec has at least 128MB of RAM behind Dell Inspiron 1501 Battery . Note that this is listed differently from the machine’s main memory which we discussed earlier.

The tumbling costs of DVD burners mean that many laptops now come with a DVD writer as standard. Towards the budget end of the market, however, you may still come across machines that have a CD-ROM drive, or more likely a CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo to PB995A. This is a drive that will read and write to CDs, but only read DVDs. Usually, for just a few pounds more, you can add DVD burning capabilities.

The minimum to opt for here is the aforementioned combo drive, while if you’re going down the DVD burner route, opt for a dual format unit that is compatible with both the + and - DVD writing specifications.

You spend a lot of time staring at a computer’s screen, so don’t be tempted to overlook it. Many models are now coming with crystal clear widescreen displays; they’re generally quite strong, although they inevitably add to the bulk of the laptop VGP-BPS9A/B. That’s why many people still opt for a more conventional display.

Laptops come with LCD screens, the size of which tend to start at 12.1 inches diagonally, and head up to the 17-inch mark. What you plump for is ultimately down to straight user preference. You know what kind of screen size you’ll be comfortable using, and if you don’t, head down to a computer retailer and do a comparison. Before buying the machine itself online at a big discount, naturally…

Moving now to software: as with a desktop machine, it’s easy to end up paying more than you need for a package because it’s been buffed up with bloated software. You will, however, need an operating system, and the overwhelming majority of laptops use Microsoft Windows in some guise. Linux hasn’t really made inroads into the portable market as yet, and thus Windows XP Home or Professional will more than likely be bundled in dell inspiron 1721 battery.

Some leave it at that, others will include one or more of the following: DVD playback software (useful, but not that expensive to buy), anti-virus package (never to be sniffed at), some form of office package (if it’s Microsoft Office, that accounts for much of the price AT Pavilion dv2000 Battery, while the likes of Ability Office barely dent it) and CD/DVD burning software (the bundled stuff is generally quite limited, but enough to do what the majority of people need it to do).

If a portable machine goes awry, it costs a great deal more to fix than a desktop PC. For that reason it’s worth looking into warranty packages, although don’t instantly snap up the one that your retailer is offering you. Shop around some third party services dell 1721 battery and see if you can get a better deal.

Hopefully, all of that has given you some useful pointers as to what to look out for. The usual rules should apply when you do finally go shopping though: research your purchase carefully, ask as many questions of your retailer as you need and make sure you pick the machine you want, not the one they want to sell you C1295. Oh, and don’t forget to check out the machines we’ve tested at IT Reviews.

Now we come to the battery, which is the bane of the laptop computer user. We’ve already discussed processors, but they have a large part to play in the battery life of a laptop. Going back three or four years inspiron 1721 battery, the most you could expect from a single, fully-charged laptop battery was two hours of work time, or less if you were taking on processor-intensive work or DVD playback. Now, thankfully, you have a few options.

The machines with the shortest battery life tend to be those with desktop processors in them Toshiba PA3356U-1BRS. Conversely, they also have tremendous processing power, so it tends to be a bit of a trade off. However, as they aren’t optimised for mobile working, they eat power, and they eat it fast, sometimes giving just 70 minutes off a full charge.

That’s why such machines are often sold as ‘desktop replacement’ products, rather than laptops. At the time of writing, the clues to look for in the specs are processing power in advance of 2.8GHz, and if you’re buying a Pentium or Celeron based system A1185  , the lack of the letter M (ie Pentium 4 rather than Pentium M), or no mention that the CPU is mobile-optimised.

Longer battery life comes from chips that form part of Intel’s Centrino technology. The Centrino isn’t actually a processor itself, more a series of technologies designed to optimise battery life and wireless working. However, whenever you come across a Centrino machine Pavilion dv6000 Battery, it will have either a Celeron or Pentium processor within it that’s been optimised for portable use. And that means you can expect battery life at best touching the five hour mark.

Incidentally, there is another way round the problem of limited battery life, and that’s to simply buy another battery. You can either get one that sits inside the machine (if there’s room), or there are an increasing number of portable external batteries that will also do the job A1079. You can expect to pay into the hundreds of pounds for many of them, though.

Most modern laptops come equipped with USB 2.0 ports, an in-built 56Kbps modem and LAN ports as standard. Budget models may not have FireWire and wireless networking features as standard, although the overwhelming majority of laptops Dell GD761 also have a PCMCIA slot, which accepts expansion cards that can host these features.

For most people, connectivity is vital and a necessary consideration. For most of us, those USB 2.0 ports will be enough, but don’t overlook the fact that more and more laptops are shipping without floppy drives. CD burners, networking features VGP-BPS9, the Web and flash drives are now the most popular ways of getting data to and from a portable machine. You might want to think in advance of your favoured method, and ensure that your purchase supports it.

One factor you might not immediately think of when buying a laptop is just how portable it is. It’s easy to assume that every machine is as easy to carry around as another, but that’s simply not the case. The weight of a machine with a widescreen display and desktop processor on board can dramatically differ from that of a sleek Centrino-based portable. Most manufacturers will now quote you the weight of the machine in their specifications Compaq Evo N600C Battery, so if portability is important to you, be sure to seek this out. To help with portability, many manufacturers will now also include a special laptop bag as part of the deal. Happy shopping…

Although rechargeable batteries have their energy content restored by charging, some deterioration occurs on each charge/discharge cycle. Low-capacity nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries (1700-2000 mA·h) can be charged for about 1000 cycles for Sony VGP-BPS2, whereas high capacity NiMH batteries (above 2500 mA·h) can be charged for about 500 cycles. Nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries tend to be rated for 1,000 cycles before their internal resistance increases beyond usable values dell inspiron 1721 battery. Normally a fast charge, rather than a slow overnight charge, will result in a shorter battery lifespan. However, if the overnight charger is not “smart” and cannot detect when the battery is fully charged, then overcharging is likely, which will damage the Dell Latitude D620 Battery.

Rechargeable batteries self-discharge more rapidly than disposable alkaline batteries, especially nickel-based batteries; a freshly charged NiCd loses 10% of its charge in the first 24 hours, and thereafter discharges at a rate of about 10% a month Toshiba PA3395U-1BRS. However, modern lithium designs have reduced the self-discharge rate to a relatively low level (but still poorer than for primary batteries). Most nickel-based batteries as Toshiba PA3384U-1BRSare partially discharged when purchased, and must be charged before first use.

Degradation usually occurs because electrolyte migrates away from the electrodes or because active material falls off the electrodes. NiCd batteries suffer the drawback that they should be fully discharged before recharge MacBook Pro 15-inch Battery. Without full discharge, crystals may build up on the electrodes, thus decreasing the active surface area VGP-BPS9 and increasing internal resistance. This decreases battery capacity and causes the “memory effect”. These electrode crystals can also penetrate the electrolyte separator, thereby causing shorts. NiMH, although similar in chemistry, does not suffer from memory effect to quite this extent inspiron 1721 battery. When a battery reaches the end of its lifetime, it will not suddenly lose all of its capacity; rather, its capacity will gradually decrease.

“Deep-cycle” lead-acid batteries such as those used in electric golf carts have much thicker plates to aid their longevity Apple A1008?. The main benefit of the lead-acid battery is its low cost at VGP-BPS8; the main drawbacks are its large size and weight for a given capacity and voltage. Lead-acid batteries should never be discharged to below 20% of their full capacity, because internal resistance will cause heat and damage to dell 1721 batterywhen they are recharged. Deep-cycle lead-acid systems often use a low-charge warning light or a low-charge power cut-off switch to prevent the type of damage that will shorten the battery’s life.

Automotive lead-acid rechargeable batteries have a much harder life. Because of vibration, shock, heat, cold, and sulfation of their lead plates Dell Inspiron 1525 Battery?, few automotive batteries last beyond six years of regular use. Automotive starting batteries have many thin plates to provide as much current as possible in a reasonably small package. In general, the thicker the plates, the longer the life of the INSPIRON 2650 Battery. Typically they are only drained a small amount before recharge Sony VGP-BPS5. Care should be taken to avoid deep discharging a starting battery, since each charge and discharge cycle causes active material to be shed from the plates.

Secondary batteries must be charged before use; they are usually assembled with active materials in the discharged state. Rechargeable batteries or secondary cells can be recharged by applying electrical current, which reverses the chemical reactionsApple A1008 that occur during its use. Devices to supply the appropriate current are called chargers or rechargers.

The oldest form of rechargeable battery is the lead-acid battery. This dell inspiron 1721 battery is notable in that it contains a liquid in an unsealed container, requiring that the battery be kept upright and the area be well ventilated to ensure safe dispersal of the hydrogen gas produced by these batteries during overcharging. The lead-acid battery is also very heavy for the amount of electrical energy it can supply Toshiba PA3465U-1BRS. Despite this, its low manufacturing cost and its high surge current levels make its use common where a large capacity (over approximately 10Ah) is required or where the weight and ease of handling are not concerns.

A common form of the lead-acid battery is the modern car battery, which can generally deliver a peak current of 450 amperes. An improved type of liquid electrolyte battery is the sealed valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) Dell Inspiron 1525 Battery, popular in the automotive industry as a replacement for the lead-acid wet cell. The VRLA battery uses an immobilized sulfuric acid electrolyte, reducing the chance of leakage and extending shelf life. VRLA batteries have the electrolyte immobilized Sony VGP-BPS5, usually by one of two means:

Other portable rechargeable batteries include several “dry cell” types such as dell 1721 battery, which are sealed units and are therefore useful in appliances such as mobile phones and laptop computers. Cells of this type (in order of increasing power density and cost) include nickel-cadmium (NiCd), nickel-zinc (NiZn), nickel metal hydride (NiMH) and lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells. By far, Li-ion has the highest share of the dry cell rechargeable marketDell KD476. Meanwhile, NiMH has replaced NiCd in most applications due to its higher capacity, but NiCd remains in use in power tools, two-way radios PC764, and medical equipment. NiZn is a new technology that is not yet well established commercially.

Recent developments include batteries with embedded functionality such as USBCELL, with a built-in charger and USB connector within the AA format with inspiron 1721 battery, enabling the battery A1078 to be charged by plugging into a USB port without a charger, and low self-discharge (LSD) mix chemistries such as Hybrio, ReCyko, and Eneloop, where cells are precharged prior to shipping.

A battery is a device that converts chemical energy directly to electrical energy. It consists of a number of voltaic cells Toshiba PA3399U-1BRS; each voltaic cell consists of two half cells connected in series by a conductive electrolyte containing anions and cations. One half-cell includes electrolyte and the electrode to which anions (negatively-charged ions) migrate, i.e. the anode or negative electrode for inspiron 1721 battery; the other half-cell includes electrolyte and the electrode to which cations (positively-charged ions) migrate, i.e. the cathode or positive electrode.

In the redox reaction that powers the dell inspiron 1721 battery, reduction (addition of electrons) occurs to cations at the cathode, while oxidation (removal of electrons) occurs to anions at the anode. The electrodes do not touch each other but are electrically connected by the electrolyte. Many cells use two half-cells with different electrolytes. In that case each half-cell is enclosed in a container, and a separator that is porous to ions but not the bulk of the electrolytes prevents mixing of VGP-BPS8.

Each half cell has an electromotive force (or emf), determined by its ability to drive electric current from the interior to the exterior of the cell. The net emf of the cell is the difference between the emfs of its half-cells Apple A1008?, as first recognized by Volta.The terminal voltage of a cell that is neither charging nor discharging is called the open-circuit voltage and equals the emf of the cell. Because of internal resistance on PowerBook G4 Battery, the terminal voltage of a cell that is discharging is smaller in magnitude than the open-circuit voltage and the terminal voltage of a cell that is charging exceeds the open-circuit voltage.

An ideal cell has negligible internal resistance, so it would maintain a constant terminal voltage of MacBook Pro 15-inch Battery, then dropping to zero. If such a cell maintained 1.5 volts and stored a charge of one Coulomb then on complete discharge it would perform 1.5 Joule of work.In actual cells, the internal resistance increases under discharge,and the open circuit voltage also decreases under discharge over A1185. If the voltage and resistance are plotted against time, the resulting graphs typically are a curve; the shape of the curve varies according to the chemistry and internal arrangement employed.

As stated above, the voltage developed across a cell’s terminals depends on the energy release of the chemical reactions of its electrodes and electrolyte. Alkaline and carbon-zinc cells have different chemistries but approximately the same emf of 1.5 volts ot dell 1721 battery; likewise NiCd and NiMH cells have different chemistries, but approximately the same emf of 1.2 volts FOR VGP-BPS9/S.On the other hand the high electrochemical potential changes in the reactions of lithium compounds give lithium cells emfs of 3 volts or more.

Recently,my contact at FastMac tells me it’s something they’re working on for the future.I’ve been a diehard advocate of 15-inch laptops ever since Apple produced its first model, a PowerBook G4 variant. it’s the only laptop I use that doesn’t feel like a toy in my hands. Unfortunately, 15-inch models also tend to be pretty power-hungry, so I’m always looking for additional juice. Enter FastMac’s TruePower MacBook Pro 15- inch Battery?. It offers looks and runtime similar to Apple’s own battery, but it’s priced $30 less.

Cosmetically, the only visible difference between the FastMac battery and Apple’s is that the underside of the FastMac model is plastic, rather than metal, and is marked with FastMac’s info—the C1295 appears identical to Apple’s once it’s installed. The aluminum exterior matches the MacBook Pro, and the battery has the same style LED gauge that Apple uses to show you how much juice is left. The button to activate that gauge looks the same (a small, circular, metal pad), but it feels a bit different—more of a hard click than the soft touch of Apple’s model.

TruePower is what FastMac calls the circuitry within the battery. It uses sensors and an integrated circuit to prevent short circuiting or overload that can cause individual cells to swell. Although Apple has recalled MacBook Pro 15- inch Battery? with that particular flaw, it can happen to 15-inch units too—check out my Flickr account for the photographic evidence.That problem happened to me after using the Apple-branded battery for more than a year. I can’t say that it will never happen with the FastMac model, but the TruePower info gives me some reassurance that I won’t repeat that episode.

FastMac calls the MacBook Pro 15- inch Battery? “high-capacity, extended life,” which may sound like the battery lasts longer than Apple’s; it doesn’t. Although some of FastMac’s replacement batteries for Apple laptops do hold significantly more charge than Apple’s stock batteries, this is not one of them.

The TruePower battery such as VGP-BPS8 VGP-BPS9 VGP-BPS9/B? Sony VGP-BPS5? Sony VGP-BPS2? VGP-BPS9A/B? VGP-BPS9/S etc.That I tested held 6669 milliamp hours (mAh) of charge, according to System Profiler, compared to 6800 for a brand-new Apple battery. That’s a fairly negligible difference in runtime: On my 2.33GHz 15-inch MacBook Pro with 3GB of RAM, each battery lasted for about three hours under mixed use—half a dozen applications open, using Wi-Fi, and with Energy Saver set to the default “Better Energy Savings.”

If you’re replacing a battery that you’ve had since the MacBook Pro was first released, chances are you’ll see an increased runtime, simply because you’re swapping new for old—batteries lose charge capacity as they get older. But comparing FastMac’s TruePower model to a brand-new Apple-branded replacement you’d buy at an Apple Store, you won’t see a huge difference either way.

Ultimately, what makes FastMac’s MacBook Pro 15-inch Battery worth consider is its price tag. At ￡ 50.49, it’s ￡ 50 less than what Apple charges, and my experience is that the FastMac model works just as well. (Like Apple’s batteries, it comes with a one-year warranty.)
