laptop battery care
for the past few months i have had a couple of laptop batteries die on me. its not the spectacular fiery end that they have on the news a couple of months ago. fortunately. a couple of the battery packs are just a little over 12 months old. they shouldn’t be dying this early. so i’ve come up with a short list of care tips:
when the battery pack is fully charged you can either:
- take out the power supply from the laptop and work on battery power or;
- take out the battery pack from the laptop and work from the power supply
if you’re just going to stay in the office or home, take out the batter pack and use the power supply.
completely drain the battery at least once each month. this would help “exercise” the battery pack.
