Help and tips with maximizing Dell inspiron 1521 laptop battery life

Dell has borrowed a few handy design features from its other laptop lines and incorporated them into the Inspiron 1521 series. First, media controls along the front edge, similar to those found on the XPS line of laptops, let you easily control disc playback. From the Latitude line, the Inspiron 1520 has adopted a built-in Wi-Fi Catcher, which lets you detect wireless networks even when the laptop’s lid is closed or the laptop computer is powered off.  Today AussieBatt notebook battery experts share some suggestions and tips that can be followed to help improve and maximize the overall life of your Dell inspiron 1521 laptop computers battery.

1. Fully discharge and recharge

If your battery is not a Li-ion battery it’s always recommended to fully discharge and recharge your battery at least once every month.

2. Clean the Dell inspiron laptop battery contacts

Try cleaning your laptop battery contacts at least once every few months. This can be done by using a cotton swab and alcohol.

3. Remove Dell inspiron 1521 laptop battery if not in use for a long period

If you’re mostly using the notebook PC while it’s plugged into a wall outlet keep the battery out of the computer.

If you don’t plan on using your laptop for more than a month the notebook battery should be removed from the computer, even if it’s kept off.

After putting the battery back in after it hasn’t been used we suggest fully charging it before letting it run off the battery again.

4. Full initial charge

A new laptop computer or battery should always be charged for 24-hours in its first use. After being fully charged we suggest letting the notebook battery fully discharge and then fully charging it again. Doing this multiple times may extend the Dell inspiron 1520 battery life even further.

5. Avoid extreme temperatures

Not only is it good for your battery but it’s also for your laptop to keep it out of extreme hot or cold temperatures. For example, don’t leave your laptop in your car during a hot summer day.
