The Digital camera battery daily maintenance

At present, there are two types of digital camera batteries, professional lithium batteries and 5 AA batteries. The professional lithium battery is very light, high capacity, environmental protection, and no memory effect, but the price is expensive, and can’t be use generally. Ni-Mh battery with high capacity, and discharge deeply, and durable to charge and discharge, short charge time and other obvious advantage. The most important of all is cheap and can be use generally.

No matter what kind of Sony NP-BG1 battery, as long as it company sale with digital camera, the user manual will indicate the attention items, some manufacturers even print out a single user guide of Canon BP-511 battery, and charger. Those manual are the basic but useful maintain instruction, such as the charge method, charge time of the battery. It is necessary for the new users to take few times to read it.

Normal users don’t have a professional bag to store the Kodak KLIC-5001 battery when use the digital camera, they usually put the battery randomly no matter the place is clean or wet after replace the battery. It is easy to dirty the battery, and contact with metal things, such as key, it also maybe wet, those are the enemy of battery.

Suggestion: User should find a professional position for the Casio NP-30 battery, and keep its clean. In order to avoid the power losing or any other problem, keep clean of battery two side touch point and battery cover, you can clean it with soft dry cloth when necessary.

If long time no need to use the digital camera, then you must take out the Fujifilm NP-40 battery from the camera and store it in dry and cool environment. Regarding the Ni-Mh battery, it should be discharged fully then store it or store it with power? The two different point, should adopt which one? A lot of people choose the former, but I think it is more reasonable to store the battery with power. Because according to the test, the best condition of storing a Ni-Mh Olympus Li-12b battery is with 80% power. This is due to the Ni-Mh battery discharge itself at 10-15% monthly. As you can as well, the new Ni-Mh battery always have power, it is the same reason.

Notebook battery Maintenance New opinion

What are the laptop battery maintenance mode? What is the use of laptop battery maintenance of the taboo? Notebook battery maintenance of books in the end should be pulled out, pulled out if the power of how to do? Notebook battery maintenance of good access to the longest time? See below, it will know.

Notebook battery life is longer, often dissatisfied with sufficient, or even show damage, if the laptop battery maintenance of peace have not done enough good, then more accelerated the aging batteries! It is necessary to observe in the use of some maintenance tips. Whether you are using a notebook lithium battery as A1008 or nickel-metal hydride batteries.

As far as possible to the battery charge after the exhaustion of the basic (power less than 5%), which is to avoid the battery the best way memory effect. In fact, the lithium-ion battery has some memory effect, Ni-MH battery is more than just much smaller. However important to note that charge when the time is too long to avoid the general control within 12 hours. Notebook battery as A1061 maintenance free with the use with the filling!

Notebook battery life is not determined by the length of time, but by the number of charge and discharge decisions. This is the importance of maintenance of notebook battery - Li-ion notebook battery (M8403) life by the number of charge-discharge decision! If you are using a laptop when the battery has been installed on the notebook instead of taking down, even if the machine shut down and removed AC power, the battery would not like to imagine that as you have maintained a state of full power.

Used because the notebook battery is a Into a control circuit, even when the computer is shut down power consumption. After I connected to AC power, when battery power is not full, so it will start charging. In this way, when the power turned on or off, your laptop battery will repeatedly charge and discharge and shorten VGP-BPS5A battery life, this is the laptop battery maintenance bogey.

To this end, in the use of external AC power supply when the battery pulled out the best. Moreover, the laptop battery if exposed to heat their state will have an impact on life expectancy. Laptop battery for long-term maintenance of non-use, please red discharge at least a month to ensure that the activity of the battery. At the same time, when the battery in the custody of a problem we must pay attention to 8N544 PA3399U-1BRS battery.

That is, the vast majority of laptop battery currently used in lithium-ion batteries do not use if the long period of time, then, often prone to the phenomenon of excessive discharge, may no longer be able to charge a notebook battery. This is the laptop battery maintenance of a free! In order to prevent excessive battery discharge, in a state of semi-rechargeable battery stored in a cool place, and then once every six months, and then half of its electricity to the state of charge. Notebook battery maintenance free Latitude D800 battery storage for too long, as well as the battery over-discharge damage to the battery!

In addition, the impact of notebook battery life of factors including the use of the environment temperature (30 ℃ suggested that the use of the following), storage inspiron 8600 battery and battery temperature suffered shock size. In the use of laptop batteries after a certain period of time will be aging (no matter how maintenance can not be avoided!), As demonstrated by the internal resistance become larger, in charge when the voltage rise faster, so it is easy to charge control circuit has been found to have full capacity is of course also declined.

Laptop battery will be calibrated to deal with aging is an effective way to the laptop battery, which is many years laptop battery maintenance of a more commonly used! However, only a small number of notebook batteries have a dedicated calibration software. If your notebook does not discharge the exclusive use of the software, then the battery can be carried out in accordance with the maintenance of the following steps:

Disable the screen saver;

• In the Windows Power Management power scheme will be set to “always open”;
• General tab in the warning “insufficient power warning” is set to 10%, the operation is set to “no operation”;
• will be “a serious power shortage alert,” set to 3%, operating as a “wait”;
• the screen brightness to the maximum;
• confirm all the windows closed, and the preservation of all data prior to the work;
• confirm inspiron 630m battery after more than 80%, unplug the power and all external equipment.

Discharge after the end of the notebook will automatically shut down after the power plug so that the notebook charge, this process can be repeated 2 to 3 times the battery to enable continuous low current discharge, which discharge the state in our day-to-day use it is impossible achieved, the effect of discharge and those dedicated basically the same software.

Dell Laptop battery maintenance guide

Battery is the consumables, with a limited life expectancy, most manufacturers warranty for the notebook battery time ranging from three months to a year, Dell is to follow industry standards to provide a limited warranty for one year. For batteries, use the correct and proper storage, can significantly extend the Dell E1705 battery life of notebook computers.

First, the battery useing must follow some attention points.

1. When you use laptop with external power, you dont need to take out the battery.

1. There is a chip to prevent over-charging in the mainboard. When the rechargeable battery power to 100% state of charge, the charge control chips (FET) will stop charging the battery. We do not have to worry about damage to the battery.
2. Connect the 851UY 75UYF 1K500 battery to avoid loss of BIOS information.
3. To prevent a sudden loss of power break.

2. To prevent exposure to prevent damp to prevent the erosion of liquid chemicals, batteries to avoid contact with metal objects, such as exposure to short-circuit occurrence.

3. Long-term do not use notebooks, how to store the laptop battery?

We will have a period of time not to use the notebook, the 851uy 75uyf 1k500 battery is fully charged to preserve, or to be released after save electricity?

Put long-term preservation of photoelectric batteries will lose their activity and even lead to the control circuit protection self-locking and can not re-use, full of power will bring about long-term preservation of the safety problems, the best method is to save electricity use to 40 or so and then stored in cool dry place, about 20 degrees Celsius is the ideal storage temperature. Of course, the best month to come up with to use a battery, the battery can ensure a good state of preservation, but also does not allow the loss of electricity damage to the battery completely.

How can I exam the Dell battery power? (For example in cell D610 battery)

Remove the battery, press the Macbook Pro battery power signs, we can see the situation of the five battery status lights. For two bright, representing 40% of the electricity. Electricity on behalf of the entire light is sufficient, if the 135-light, that damage the battery.

Second, how to extend as much as possible the work of laptop battery time?

1. To reduce the screen brightness. How to adjust the brightness of the use of laptop batteries, boot by F2, into the BIOS to adjust the Brightness of Video. Or fn + down / up key combination to adjust the brightness quickly.
2. Open the CPU speedstep feature, you can greatly extend the working hours of latitude x300 battery; Cpu’s speedstep feature is enabled by default BIOS of. When using batteries, cpu will automatically down-use, in order to achieve energy-saving purpose. If not enabled, please start by F2, into the BIOS found in Performance, for the Speedstep Enable setting Enabled. (An earlier version of BIOS is the Alt + P to the sixth page, modify intel speedstep)
3. make the best use of standby, sleep and other functions. When a longer period of time without a computer, allowing notebook standby or hibernation, both to save power and extend the life of the computer. (Tips: Please confirm the successful installation of graphics drivers, power management options can be set up.)
   WINDOWS in the process of power management settings, we generally can be set to “portable / laptop” (Portable / Laptop).
   At the same time suggest that you will use the powerbook G4 battery when the wait time to close the monitor is set to 5 minutes, so when we do not operate within a certain period of time the notebook, it will direct the state of black screen, so other than the screen saver to run more power.
4. when using the battery as much as possible the closure of wireless, Bluetooth and infrared ports. At the same time to remove without the use of peripherals and to avoid the opening of a large 3D program, games and so on, in order to reduce unnecessary battery consumption.

Of course, on the controversy over the use of batteries, there are divergent views have any objection if we can http://bbs.dell.com.cn forum to ask questions, let us discuss how to maintain the battery.

Misunderstanding Five: can use compatible battery charger to charge the battery

Notebook computer power than mobile phones, the most extreme circumstances, the power needs of Dell D620 battery charging at the same time and running at full speed to meet the required machine power supply, laptop charger compatible with the general no, because the various models of voltage, current, or even interface are different, can be common in a variety of notebook “compatible chargers are” likely to be of genuine more expensive than the charger, even if the same interface, if the voltage and current below the nominal value of machinery, machinery working at full speed when the battery may not be able to obtain sufficient charge current, which damage the battery is a great one.

If the Dell D630 battery charger voltage and current much less than the nominal value, or even find that simply can not boot or will boot but can not be recharged, so choose the best power to choose the time and the same original, it can not be found, please pay attention to a certain voltage and current machines to comply with the nominal values of the different products with the plant in general the same interface, but the voltage and current may be different, we must pay attention to this point!

Misunderstanding Six: need fully charged battery (or fully discharger) before store the battery

Or whether it is full-discharge, in fact, is incorrect, put long-term full-discharge  HP DV2000 batteries will lose their activity and even lead to the control circuit protection self-locking and can not re-use, full of power will bring about long-term preservation of the safety problems.

The most the preservation of the ideal way is to discharge to 40% and then save, lithium HP DV1000 batteries are afraid humid and high temperature, it should be placed in a cool dry place to preserve, but the temperature not too low, otherwise the capacity will be greatly reduced, about 20 degrees Celsius is an ideal Storage Temperature.

Seven Mistakes: battery dying, but also for its own batteries

The battery is a lot of people for such a deadly, manufacturers seem to expect someone to do so long ago, many brands of laptop batteries are designed to have self-locking function, once the batteries from the control circuit, the circuit enters a state of self-locking

Only the use of specific means to be answered, before the control circuit will not work, that is to say the same end-of-life battery, notebook Inspiron e1705 battery batteries can not change the batteries, if you can not have to change batteries, please remember to find the specialized battery maintenance company to wield the sword, its own waste for just small, that after the failure of efforts to frustration and frustration is the worst.

Eight errors: 99% charge has been less than 100%, will continue to charge explosion

Notebook Dell 6400 battery almost no chance of explosion, the largest is the issue of high fever caused by melting of shell, but few give rise to fire, was released by a small number of incidents, the fact is that when the production technology of non-performing, leading to short-circuit in the use of a result, even if Most of this will be short-circuit the battery disconnect circuit protection circuit is not greater damage.

Unless it is in the protection of the circuit before the Dell 6000 battery short-circuit (before the COMPAQ laptop battery explosion is caused by time should be), and such a thing in my notebook a large number of contacts over the past 3 years, have only seen two cases. It is such a thing in cell phones a lot, in the final analysis or the quality of the battery problem, a large number of poor-quality mobile phone battery assembly, and almost never on the laptop’s battery did not sell, because there is no owner of a large amount of models that should be compatible battery production.

The reason why 99 percent to less than 100 percent after the charge is often because the record of the battery control circuitry and battery state of their own bias, the latitude D620 battery has not reached the record control circuit voltage, the power control circuit has been charging the battery in fact has been full of, such problems can usually be corrected through the solution, but even if there is no correction, because the majority of charging circuit will be filled in after a long time can not be disconnected automatically, and even automatically record wise 99% of the current set of 100 %, even the fool has been non-stop design, but also because of the current very small at this time and will not cause harm.

The current laptop batteries are basically the temperature detection circuit, when the Dell XPS M140 battery temperature is too high, most of the control circuit will be forced off the battery to prevent further temperature rise, so this kind of charge to the explosion in the notebook computer battery occurred no less chance of the first prize in the lottery.

No matter how scientific the maintenance measures, the battery will be aging are, like how the magic of cosmetics and beauty maintenance can not prevent the old woman into a maximum of just delaying it, the only way to avoid aging of the battery is not in use (so many people would Select the battery had to), but this laptop but have lost the meaning of the … … the D40 battery Grip is always used as the aging time, in fact, is a semi-consumables, for almost all notebook manufacturers regardless of the host how long the warranty, the battery in general insurance for one year only.

If you do the maintenance are in place to calculate the weekly use of a inspiron 640m battery, which can accommodate about one year later remained 60% ~ 70% of the capacity of my battery is probably the case, that if it looked increasingly haggard battery is a torture to you, the best way is do not get down and pray or not turn off power plug , or is it a buy as a backup, as long as the battery and notebook in order to bring value and fun enough, I would like to their sacrifices are worth it.

Go out of laptop battery maintenance eight Mistakes chapter One

In notebook computers, Pavilion DV8000 battery is a love-hate component, it gives the mobile use of notebook computers the ability to continue to work at every turn but a few days compared to a week or even mobile phones and MD, notebook battery time remains a tooth If the cell phone battery can only use eight hours, people would be reviled, but it results in the notebook PC which is the pride of the best, to say the development of notebook computers in the slowest parts, in addition to the keyboard should turn the battery

That there is such a joke: Intel’s investment and technology through participation in support of the new battery technology, “For us, the lithium batteries in the 1990s has been good enough,” director of marketing for Intel’s mobile platforms, said Mooly Eden, “Battery Improvement of teens just like the relationship between young people and the same: everyone talking about, but no one has done. ”

Maintenance Pavilion DV9000 batteries notebook computer users has been a hot topic, but in fact there a lot of misunderstanding, in the final analysis from two aspects, one is “thinking does not keep up with the nickel-metal hydride batteries to lithium batteries of changes”, while a more comedy, from the phone, because in fact the majority of mobile phone users access to the first use of the equipment repeatedly rechargeable battery, it will take for granted some of the habits of mobile phone to the laptop was an extension of.

I did not intend to cultivate the majority of notebook users into experts, then there is no need, I just want to bring some of the most vulnerable to clarify the misunderstanding and give the correct perspective and practices.

A misunderstanding 1 : the need for notebook computers bought three times repeated charge-discharge in order to activate the battery.

Unless you buy a notebook computer is more than one year of product inventory, or need not do so because there are Pavilion DV1000 batteries in the battery when the factory has been activated, and the batteries in the package when the battery into the notebook, after a equivalent to the activation of the test, so you get the battery in hand, already have been activated, and again three charge-discharge process was an increase in unnecessary depletion of the battery.

Misunderstanding 2: the first charge must be sufficient enough for 12 hours.

This early stage those who do not have the pavilion DV4000 battery control circuit of the Ni-MH battery models are applicable, but for now have a smart charging and discharging control circuit for the notebook battery is a joke, when the notebook computer battery is full, the charge current will be automatically cut off , even if you continue to charge 120 hours, there will not be any change in status, and generally speaking, even the slowest machine charge, 6 hours when fully charged, the rest of the “charge” is just a waste of their time. It is time to get new machines should be fully discharge first rechargeable Pavilion ZV6000 battery.

Misunderstanding Three: the need for regular battery calibration, the total charge released once a month.

Strong memory effect for nickel-hydrogen batteries, which is an essential task, but for Li-ion Pavilion DV2000 battery, the cycle is too frequent, and lithium batteries does not completely eliminate the memory effect, but has greatly reduced the memory effect, if you use the battery is frequent, then you should discharge the battery to the relatively low (about 10 ~ 15%) re-charging, but even if the discharge to the open machines are not (0 ~ 1%), belong to the lithium batteries have greater depth of injury discharge generally every two months to do the operation once it. If you rarely use the battery, then every 3 months as long as the first such operation carried out on it.

Misunderstanding Four: correction to enhance the battery capacity can improve the battery capacity

The so-called correction, when the actual capacity of the Pavilion DV6000 battery and control circuit capacity not the same as the record, the depth of a battery charge and discharge operation, so that a record control circuit to the battery close to the actual situation, this is a true performance of the battery capacity rather than enhance the capacity of the operation, the key factor here is the actual capacity of the battery, if the actual battery capacity than the control circuit in the capacity to record high, correction can increase the battery capacity seems, if the actual Pavilion ZV5000 battery capacity than the control circuit the capacity to record low, the correction will reduce the battery capacity seems also that many people debate the reasons for the effect of correction, keep in mind that correction is the true battery capacity is shown by the elimination of the battery and control circuit between the deviation, as demonstrated by the capacity will increase or decrease, this is the status of the battery itself, rather than corrected by your decision. Correction is likely because the battery discharge when the depth of injury, but a substantial reduction in capacity.

Many manufacturers provide a battery calibration procedure carried out, the Windows version and BIOS version, it is best to use these procedures to correct, Windows version can be carried out while working, BIOS version can not be like this.
