Laptop Battery Care Guide
Important! Our recommendations relate only to the lithium-ion (Li-Ion) laptop batteries; nickel-metal hybride (Ni-MH) batteries require a different approach.
Li-ion batteries have a reasonably finite battery lifespan and can hold only a fraction of their original capacity after a few years. However, things like operating temperature, how long the notebook battery spends plugged in, how the laptop battery is used, and the charge cycling can contribute a longer battery lifespan.
Dell XPS M1330 laptop emphasizing both the “thin” and “light” aspects of the thin-and-light category without sacrificing features or performance. Dell XPS M1330 is designed for those that want power on the go. Sleek design coupled with a portable form factor and powerful components come together to make for a compelling laptop. The 9-cell Dell XPS M1730 Laptop Battery in you get an overall greater slope to the keyboard, we actually like this for ergonomics, it feels more comfortable for typing.
There are some simple recommendations on how to use a Dell Xps m1330 Battery
- Don’t let it discharge completely all the time; take the habit of discharging your battery to no lower than 20%.
- However, not letting your battery discharge enough (always keeping it above 80%) and recharging it, is not good for the battery either. If you pull the plug, let the battery work by running it down for a while.
- It’s not recommended to run the battery out very quickly by drawing a lot of power at once, for example, by running a graphics-intensive game on a laptop when it’s unplugged.
- Don’t keep a Li-ion Dell Xps m1210 Battery fully charged all the time either (by always using the power source) because of a Li-ion battery that doesn’t get used will suffer from capacity loss.
Li-ion laptop batteries cannot stand the heat. Unfortunately there’s usually not too much you can do about the temperature issue, however we can give some advice:
- If you’re going to be using a laptop plugged in at a desk for an extended amount of time, you can remove the battery to spare it the heat wave. In that case the best way to store it is at 40- or 50-% charge in a cool place, but not too cold, as extreme temperatures cause capacity loss as well.
- Keep the laptop out of direct sunlight, attics, heaters or anywhere there will be extreme temperatures.
Following of all these recommendations can significantly extend the life span of a Dell Xps M1330 Notebook Battery and will help you reach the upper echelons of manufacturer statistics.
