Notebook computer batteries to maintain Notes

December 1st, 2008 by ourelectronic

1. When no external power supply, if at the time the work situation for the time being less than the PCMCIA card slot, first proposed in order to remove the card to extend BATCL50L , TravelMate 290 life.

2. At room temperature (20-30 degrees) for the best of battery temperature, the temperature is too high or too low operating environment will reduce battery life.

3. Can provide a stable power supply in an environment where the use of laptop computers, will remove the battery can be extended by the battery life is simply not true. ASUS notebook computer on, when the full power rechargeable batteries, rechargeable batteries in the circuit will automatically shut down, so will not have been sufficient.

4. Proposed a three-month average of battery power correction action.

5. To minimize the use of the number of TravelMate 4000

The number of battery charging and discharging a direct bearing on the life of each charge a battery to retire a step forward. We proposed to make full use of external power supply,

6. The use of an external battery power will be removed.

Some users often several times a day in Plug Power, and notebook computers equipped with a battery, to do so, the greater the damage to the battery. Because each access to external power supply is equivalent to charging a battery, battery on the nature of the Zheshou.
7. Exhausted after the electricity charge and avoid charging time is too long

No matter your notebook to use nickel-metal hydride or lithium-electric power, it must be exhausted before sufficient power (electricity consumption of less than 1%), which is to avoid the best way to the memory effect. Li-electric memory will have the same effect, but its memory effect than Ni-MH small number of them.

8. Note the use of normal

Normally used to prevent exposure to prevent damp to prevent the erosion of liquid chemicals, TravelMate 2300 , Aspire 1680 Series , Aspire 1410 to avoid contact with metal objects, such as access to happen.

Laptop battery purchase Notes

The laptop battery life - as no more than 3-4 years, it may be in the process of users are most likely to be replaced. Two years later the use of laptop computers, battery consumption will find more and more rapidly. If possible, can replace the old batteries for new batteries to ensure the stability of the computer work.

When the need to replace notebook batteries, preferably with a selection of models to replace the battery. However, if the old computer is to use nickel-metal hydride batteries, in order for longer battery-powered, of course, can also be specified by the computer user’s manual or manufacturer’s recommended selection of models of lithium batteries. Although the nickel-metal hydride batteries because of cheap, but there is memory effect, but also in the same capacity next-to-weight ratio of lithium batteries, lithium batteries and have no memory effect, light and power for a long time, and other advantages, has become a laptop TravelMate 4500 standard . At this stage to use the notebook computer manufacturers of lithium BTP-ARJ1 ,A42-A3
due to the different power supply in time there are certain gaps and friends in the process of selection should be noted that different brands of batteries in the difference between the best of several brands compare.
In addition to the performance of the battery manufacturers supply a statement of the time, but also pay attention to the needs of its capacity. Battery capacity is usually AH (ampere-hour, ampere hour) calculation of the current notebook computer equipped with the most common is about 4000AH, and ordinary cell can be sustained for more than 2 hours. In addition to the battery power supply by the time the whole Computer power and heat dissipation, and other factors, the screen size (the bigger the more power), screen brightness, as well as the implementation of the work of all time will affect the power supply .

Now the prices of notebook batteries in 1000 up and down the ocean, accounting for about notebooks to 10% of the total price - about some of the ultra-thin models and even higher. The battery warranty, security of 3 months, half a year of security, but also the longest for 1 year; The reason why the battery warranty period is short because the notebook battery supplies belonging to the vulnerable, the frequency of recharging is a constant, A small one. Moreover, the notebook LCBTP03003 ,Aspire 1300 and other hardware, there is no room for repairs can only be replaced. For such a long period of warranty products (OZ), were invisible on the increased burden on manufacturers, so the purchase of laptop before the battery must ask the warranty period and conditions.

In addition, the purchase of second-hand laptop when not forget to try its built-in battery can be sustained for a long time and more work. Under normal circumstances, used in 2012 after sufficient power in notebook computers, Ni-MH battery can be some support for the work of the computer about 1 hour, lithium-ion battery can support nearly 3 hours, but relative to the terms of this new battery The request is already very low, less than the battery indicator shows a view from near the end of life.
Notebook Battery of the causes of damage
Laptop BTP-APJ1 , BTP-AQJ1 life is longer, often dissatisfied with the necessary and sufficient electricity, and even shows the battery has been damaged, the specific performance of the resistance is bigger in charge at both ends when the voltage rise faster. This charge was easy to control the line has been judged to be filled, the capacity of natural decline. As the larger battery internal resistance, discharge when the voltage drop, fast, so the system can easily mistaken for lack of voltage, less power consumption. Batteries found in the relatively short-time working hours, should take corresponding measures.

Notebook computer batteries on maintenance

December 1st, 2008 by ourelectronic

Notebook computers are specifically designed for mobile computer, it goes without saying that the importance of the battery. The battery is a delicate consumables, as it has a memory effect, the effect of discharge, and only a limited number of rechargeable (Li-ion Acer laptop battery
for about 400 or so), plus the notebook dedicated high-capacity lithium batteries is very expensive, so Peacetime use, in particular, should pay attention to maintenance. Not pay attention to the maintenance of the barbaric use, make your laptop battery life of the rapid decline. I see a lot of second-hand laptop battery can only insist on less than 20 minutes is a long-term consequences of not pay attention to the proper use of the! The following on my own experience, we should talk about how to defend our beloved books … … the battery. First of all types of batteries, we should be aware that the laptop’s battery at present there are mainly two: lithium batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries. a, Ni-MH battery Ni-MH battery is a product of the relatively backward, are being eliminated, commonly found in second-hand laptop and a number of “million” China-made models. Ni-MH battery with the shortcomings of memory effect, battery capacity is relatively small, the time required to charge longer. The advantage of the number of rechargeable more generally up to 800 times more than some of the technology to improve the product can be as high as 1,200 times or so. What is memory effect? Regular use of rechargeable batteries you will be aware that Ni-MH battery should be completely exhausted after the electricity in charge, or because of the incomplete chemical reaction and reduce the chemical activity, that is, if your BTP-43D1 power not useful End, on the charge of battery to carry out, the battery’s total capacity will reduce the rechargeable, battery life will be shortened. Memory effect to a certain extent, is reversible, in other words, we can be of some ways to eliminate the memory effect, bring it to reduce the power loss. However, these methods are very limited, in the event of a memory effect is not completely eliminated. Therefore, the use of nickel-metal hydride batteries friends must note that the battery used up as much as possible, conduct charge. b, lithium battery compared with the nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium batteries to a number of advanced. Lithium batteries also have a memory effect (some magazines that lithium batteries do not have the memory effect, it is wrong), but the lithium battery memory effect much smaller than the nickel-metal hydride batteries, and to eliminate more than good. Lithium batteries are characterized by: do not have a clear memory effect, TravelMate 220 capacity is far greater than Ni-MH BTP-73E1, charging a relatively short time, but it was also shortcomings is clear that lithium batteries can only charge about 400 to 700. Most notebook computers used lithium batteries, lithium batteries and is keep the technical progress, and therefore I can buy laptops, as far as possible to consider lithium batteries. Note the clear cell type, let’s take a look at how to use the Prevention of Cruelty to our battery: 1, the minimum use of battery. When you use the battery? Desk? Bedside? Car? The hotel? The author believes that unless it is a power not found, for example, in the car on the train, field and other places can not use the BTP-58A1 , BTP-60A1, but the use of AC power. Keep in mind that the battery is a consumable items, charge a small one, if you use the battery every day, then your batteries in about a year and you have to say goodbye (to count such ah, a day, 365 days once or twice a charge , Is almost 400 times a year or so, the lithium battery life will come to 400). You can look at your laptop warranty card: no matter what the brand is used, the battery warranty is up to a year (the cunning businessmen!), I recognize, of course, if you are in bed, with your ultra-thin notebook A novel look at the computer in a trailer behind the long line of AC power is a really nasty things, but taking into account the price of a new battery in 1000 to 3,000 yuan, I think I’ll wait for the poor or you forget to put up with: ) 2, the use of AC power, battery to get down to avoid frequent battery charge and discharge. And you think different, even if you do not use the battery, which will own some of the electricity consumption, which is called discharge effect. General lithium batteries per day to release its own 0.2 percent of the electricity, and the Ni-MH battery will go from 2 to 4% of the electricity. Effects of discharge is every minute of every hour going. The laptop charging circuit, once detected the battery power has not filled, it will immediately charge, so you can imagine, the use of AC power, due to the effects brought about by the discharge process and the power consumption of notebook aspire 3000 battery , BTP-42C1 charging circuits The charging process has been carried out alternately, may be an hour battery charge and discharge scores, so that the battery on the considerable damage. Many famous international brands such as IBM, hp, Sony, Toshiba and so on in the design of computer time to consider this issue very well, such as IBM laptop battery will discharge monitoring until the discharge of more than 3% of the total electricity consumption when Will be a one-time charge. However, some domestic brands - I will not name here, and poor design make this issue a number of models on a very serious, which is why some friends bought a new machine, a few months down the TravelMate 240 Series has not been used on how Almost can not charge it! Therefore, if your laptop is not a very famous brand, in order to better security in the battery when not to take it down for good. 3, a new notebook computer for the first time start, the battery should be a 1% -2% of the electricity (which is the international practice, if you buy a notebook computer battery is already full of open, please note: it is absolutely Is not only the opening of the new machine! Sure it was used!), Then you should not external AC power, let the machine run out of battery power and shutdown. Then once the battery is full of electricity, and electricity and then shine again filled. This cell was active on the complete inspired. If you yield to the temptation of easy and skip this step, the battery will total electricity consumption to a certain extent. Although this will not affect the very serious, but I believe that at their own expense to buy the laptops for every fellow battery performance and on this point of time. 4, due to the long-term care not to use so that battery life substantially reduced, that is, with serious memory effect, we can take to the laptop battery discharge sufficient way to a certain extent this problem. The discharge method is as follows: remove the AC power, use battery-powered, and then open the computer, and many brands of notebook computers are low-voltage protection, that is, if the battery power is too low to force the closure of the computer. This feature is good, but we will not fully discharge the battery. Therefore, before entering the Bios (different brand of notebook computer into the Bios of different ways, be aware that when they look at the boot prompt), the closure of the power management, preservation from the post. Restart, restart Windows before the start screen that appears, press the pause button, making the computer to stay in the boot screen. Then do nothing until the computer’s battery run out of electricity so far off. This process lasted about 1 to 3 hours, so that the battery power shine on the full. The BTP-550P is full again, take a look at the use of the time is not longer? (Note: This is a significant memory effect of the old BTP-52EW , BTP-63D1, if you are using a new laptop battery, it is no good!) 5, if carried out on the battery discharge, still to no avail , Or to the battery discharge method is too complicated, you do not, how do? Oh, I let you teach a trick to the ultimate nirvana - the battery discharge software! IBM’s software, which discharge very easy to use, it can be said of it is something rotten into something wonderful. I have had a P166mmx notebook computers, cell only 15 minutes, after the IBM software discharge after discharge, it can even insist on watching a VCD! So that battery life has decreased substantially friends may wish to try the software may give you a big surprise Oh! The IBM software can be downloaded from the ftp site above. The address is ftp://ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/mobiles/isbr01ww.exe. The download is an executable file isbr01ww.exe, it will automatically generate the implementation of a startup floppy disk. It starts with the system, we can achieve the automatic discharge. Concrete steps are as follows: (1) the implementation of this document isbr01ww.exe: Insert a floppy disk as required, according to the carriage return, followed by self-extracting process will generate a startup floppy disk and. (2) floppy disk with this guide to restart the computer, the screen appears Starting pc-dos … … (Note: The above operation by the AC power provided.) (3), and then unplug the AC power supply by tips, procedures for automatic discharge the BTP-44A3 until the machine Self-closing, said the discharge has been completed. (Note: When you see zero percent do not shut down the machine, it is necessary to wait for the closure of its own) (4) AC power plug, and then guide the computer floppy disk, the autoexec.bat automatically refresh operation procedures, ask you if you , Selected “yes”, according to the carriage return, the process will soon return to the dos prompt A:>, that have been completed. (5) to turn off the computer, but it is not pulling AC power, to charge the battery until the green light so far. (6) more than repeat the process 3 times to get the best results. 6, if the above methods do not line … … 5 minutes of silence, please, your battery has not saved … … Wait! Do not rush to buy new batteries, many second-hand computer business to provide all notebook batteries for the “core” services. That is, through the shell to replace the battery inside the batteries, the batteries so that you rejuvenated. Usually for core prices, according to the battery, 200 to 700 yuan between this than to buy a new battery is much cheaper, and the result was not to buy a new battery and almost. But you have to be careful if you js-for-one old batteries, it would be a big loss. The notebook’s greatest strength lies in its mobile performance. Have maintained a good, durable power of the laptop batteries, you can make anytime, anywhere, to work instantly and easily enjoy the high-brings you the convenience and freedom. I hope that the experience can bring you some real help and convenience.

How to protect your notebook batteries

November 28th, 2008 by ourelectronic

Nickel-cadmium batteries
Traditional rechargeable battery is a nickel-cadmium batteries. They are relatively rough, easy to recharge (there are slow-fast). If the charging process is not handled properly, that is, memory effect, will cause the Apple laptop battery
to reduce the capacity of the original. The so-called memory effect in the battery is charging, the battery power has not been fully release, which will cause the loss of battery capacity. You can re-regulate the use of battery, which is fully discharged and then fully charged to improve the memory effect. It must be emphasized, “full” is. In addition, nickel-cadmium A1175 , A1185 also have an impact on the ecological environment. Because it is toxic cadmium. Even if the battery recycling has become very common, these batteries are also due to natural selection may have been thrown away.

Ni-MH battery
The laptop technology is a nickel-metal hydride batteries, its production has a number of years. Ni-MH battery is no longer the use of toxic cadmium and nickel-cadmium batteries than the storage capacity by 20%. In addition, the fact there is no memory effect. Attention to the frequent over-charge will reduce the A1078 life, so to very good control of the charging time. Ni-MH battery for about the price of nickel-cadmium M9324 twice.

Lithium batteries
The latest laptop batteries are used in lithium batteries, which can be used in notebook computers and mobile phones. And nickel-cadmium batteries, lithium batteries provide about twice the energy. There is a substantial improvement in performance, its price more than three times that of nickel-cadmium batteries.

Most of the laptop is fully charged takes eight hours, but generally speaking, in the first four hours, they will be able to charge a good 75% of the electricity, while the remaining 25% will take more time to go. The important point is that the M8403 must be recharged before the release of electricity End. The majority of users to use their laptop computers will use the power socket on the wall, they rarely use the battery-powered laptop. So that your laptop has been flying there is nothing wrong power supply in most new notebook ,M8244 , A1079, a sleep mode, which only consumes very little power. As long as you re-open the screen, will soon return to the last time you left the state. If you plug in an external power supply notebook computer, you should from time to time about the release of M6091 power. If you want to prepare for the use of laptop computers 23 hours, a good idea to unplug the plug, use battery power until the dry battery power, and then, and then planted it. On the other hand, if you do not use your laptop computer, they open it, the batteries run out and then re-plug in the power socket. This month, at least one or two

Notebook batteries by battery material nickel-cadmium, nickel hydrogen, lithium ion, and so on a few, lithium-ion M7318 charging and discharging of the need for precision circuit protection, industrial production and more complicated, so lithium-ion battery production costs higher.

Repair Methods:
First battery shell with a special tool called, and then investigate the reasons for failure after the election will be a good test batteries welded together, it is best to control the board of the relevant parameters, accurate debugging will be a good case letters , This battery can be used to normal.
In battery production, we U.S. imports of used PowerBook G3 , PowerBook G4 characteristics of the battery analyzer screen analysis. Asked the same group of cells tolerance of not more than 1% of the requirements of each battery charge and discharge characteristic curves exactly the same, the most important steps, if done well, give rise to a variety of issues, such as the standby time is short, do not charge full Can not charge the normal stand-by, life is very short, out of battery charge when the liquid corrosion notebook, or even cause an explosion or burning of the entire battery of computers and other accidents.

So when the A1148 core, dedicated to the use of welding equipment, generally in 0.02 seconds or less to connect with the film battery welding in prison. Do not use iron hand to carry out welding, or cause batteries attenuation performance or shorten the life span of the PowerBook G4 15inch can cause serious leakage or explosion.

It should be noted that different manufacturers can not be the same or different manufacturers batch of batteries with a battery in place, otherwise it will lead to a variety of possible failure.

Restored:
Aspects of the appearance of most of the models have almost no traces of a small number of models will be left open a slight traces. Internal consumption, for the past two years, the production model, after the restoration of the general performance will be worse than the battery when not better when used batteries are now out of the quality parameters, such as production in 1998 The lithium A1012 , M8511 power-saving single-core capacity for the general 1600mAH, and now the products of the same type of production capacity in 1800mAh, for the models in the near future, after the restoration of the original battery capacity of the basic, original battery life with the basic The same.

How notebook battery explosion-proof

November 28th, 2008 by ourelectronic

Thin, large-capacity, long service life, these are the outstanding characteristics of lithium batteries. For this reason, lithium-ion FRU 92P1121
was quickly replaced by nickel-metal hydride and nickel cadmium 40Y6799 role as notebook computers, portable products, the preferred range of equipment. Near Period, discovered in a row of notebook battery explosion, the notebook battery time and again to the air waves, lingering fear that end users, lithium batteries in the end is the source of power or time bomb?

The study found the battery on fire mystery

In general, the current notebook lithium battery pack itself with better protection.

It not only by the series / parallel multiple batteries, also contains its own circuit substrates two modules: the protection of Circuit substrate (Protection PCB) module and the Smart Battery Gauge Board module, a set of FRU 92P1139 to protect its design, including the first-class Protection of the IC (to prevent the battery charge-off, let-off, short-circuit), the second-level protection IC (for the second time to prevent over-voltage), fuses, LED direction, temperature regulation, and other components.

In the multi-level protection, even in the power charger, notebook unusual, notebook battery can only be changed automatically to protect the state if the situation is not serious, often re-plug in after normal work can not Will be an explosion. Notebook battery exploded in the face of serious facts, ask the reporter of Xinhua professionals as well as a well-known manufacturers of design engineers.

According to the analysis of lithium 40Y6793 , FRU 92P1125 from Wu Waihu explosion or short circuit had caused sufficient, the biggest is the possibility of a lithium FRU 92P1141 at the time of manufacture, because the manufacturing process itself flawed, because the product can occur at any time there is a potential safety problems, such as should be The insulation between the metal poles of dust or copper foil and aluminum foil pierced the glitch is a lack of short circuits caused by micro. The former is the most serious, as a direct result of a large number of short-circuit and heat production, resulting in vaporization of some of the electrolyte, the battery case Stretch.

In addition, there is a rather exceptional power charger or laptop computers due to special reasons, lithium batteries to provide instant high-voltage / current strong lead over the serious charge, such as the charging voltage 12.6V by the sudden rise to 12.9V Or more, this time there will be a charge of high-flow generation, in-house circuit the battery charge current should be cut off action, but some of the lithium FRU 92P1137 over-voltage, over-current protection design is very weak, which may result in damage to the ThinkPad Z61t protection IC, So that the notebook battery to make the protection and the damage after a charge-off around the needle-chip lithium metal crystallization of the piercing point resulted in a number of micro-short-circuit, causing the battery temperature gradually increased until the final battery explosion, the fire occurred, This is a lot of notebook battery “hot” the main reason.

Add a layer of protective cover

At present, the mechanisms for the protection of the battery from the point of view, rechargeable 02K6651 pack in front of some of the traditional chip makers are mostly provided by the program play a precise control of charge voltage and charge current role in the over-voltage and over-current control does not provide corresponding Solutions. In this way, for the protection of the battery pack is entirely dependent on the battery itself, such as the charge-off protection, over-discharge protection, charge-off protection, have put current protection, over-temperature protection and so on.

Protection in place as a result of the need to prevent first-class IC protection MOSFET failure or short-circuit caused by over-voltage fault, so the second-level protection IC will generally be considered is the protection of the 02K6928 , 02K6620 , 02K7039 pack in the last line of defense. In this connection, e-convex (O2 Micro) Hong Shi Zhen product manager, said the different views, in his view, for the protection of the battery pack can be moved forward through additional controls on the charger to realize the detection and control of battery charging action, which will no doubt further enhance the level of protection, The use of lithium batteries on the protection of security.

To this end, O2 Micro in power management for portable devices developed by Cool Charge solutions, the integration of a project called Cool Battery Technology battery protection technology, which is the main feature of a traditional general Chargers do not have OVP (over Voltage Protection) and OCP (Over Current Protection) function to protect the two batteries, the technology has been Cool Charge IC chip embedded in them.

Cool Charge IC chip used, the power charger to a large extent, take on the responsibility to protect the battery. Cool Charge IC subject to the control of the charger in comparison with the traditional design (see Figure 1), needed to significantly reduce the external device And eliminate the need for Q3 and Q4 part of the design, reducing the failure rate. Preserved in the Q1 and Q2 (to improve the original design of components) between, Cool Charge IC set up a detection point, the factory settings, the Detection of point voltage and current settings are slightly smaller than the ThinkPad X60 , FRU 92P1167 manufacturers to set safety requirements. In this way, in charge voltage or current beyond the Cool Charge IC set up security after the voltage or current value, IC control Q2 off, the first battery Protective effect before the cut off charge; from the frequency of detection, protection, detection of ThinkPad Z60t time for the millisecond level, and through the chip to detect, you can easily achieve the level of seconds per million, can be very high The frequency of detection in a row, thus realizing the first step in the protection of the battery pack.

Notebook battery life skills

November 28th, 2008 by ourelectronic

1. Activating a new ThinkPad R40

Generic manufacturers is a new notebook for the first time in the boot with a battery should be 3% of electricity consumption at this time, should not use an external power supply, but the battery’s power than is used up, until the shutdown, and then add Power charge. And then also to the battery charge after the exhaustion of power, charging time must be more than 12 hours, repeated three times to do in order to activate the ThinkPad R32 , 02K6928.

2. As far as possible to reduce the use of the number of batteries

The number of battery charging and discharging a direct bearing on the life of each charge a battery to retire a step forward. We proposed to make full use of external power supply, the use of an external battery power will be removed. If you often several times a day in Plug Power, and notebook computers equipped with a battery, battery on the greater damage. Because each access to external power supply is equivalent to charging a 02K7054, battery on the nature of the Zheshou.

3. Exhausted after the electricity charge and avoid charging time is too long

Whether the use of notebook lithium or Ni-MH electric power, it must be exhausted before sufficient power (electricity consumption of less than 1%), which is to avoid the best way to the memory effect. Li-electric memory will have the same effect, but its memory effect than Ni-MH only a small number, only to the full power of the battery / use it only after the charge. Part of the charge, could lead to discharge the battery inside the batteries of different chemical properties, so the 40Y6797 performance will back down. Recommendations on the battery every few months to carry out a deep discharge the ThinkPad A20 , in order to optimize performance. This is accomplished through use of battery-powered, the battery capacity has been used to 0% (this time the system will automatically enter standby or hibernation state, according to the BIOS settings in different). And then connected to the AC charger has been full of up to 100%. After a long period of storage batteries, and battery discharge has a natural process, natural discharge has been finished, it does not affect the capacity of the battery.

The first charge, you should continuously charge the battery to 12 hours, and to completely Circulating charge, discharge three times (see the maintenance of a battery) in order to fully awaken to the new battery, this battery has not been stored for several months Use, it also recommended three complete charge and discharge. If a ThinkPad A20M in a row after 12 hours, after three or charge-discharge cycle still can not charge, this battery will not be able to use the need to be replaced.

At present, notebook computers are used in lithium-ion battery as its power source, for they were not equipped with a battery of the notebook, the notebook has been totally lost their sense of self, and a mobile PC-like no, so that the notebook computer The battery for notebook computers as a very important part.

In the high-temperature environment to avoid the use of lithium ThinkPad A21M , expert research, a state of high-temperature lithium batteries will accelerate the aging process, and not to the same extreme low-temperature environments. Low temperatures will reduce the activity of lithium batteries to reduce the notebook’s battery life. Lithium batteries on a regular basis to activate processing, is fully charged and discharged, to allow the resumption of the largest-capacity lithium batteries. Practice is to close all the power management so that the notebook slowly discharge until they have no electricity, and then fully charged, can be repeated two or three times. The hot weather, as much as possible to maintain their own notebook batteries, notebook computers can better play its role. I hope your laptop battery will not be a worry for the maintenance of parts.

Because the lithium-ion batteries have a small size, high-energy density, no memory effect, high cycle life, high-voltage battery and low self-discharge rate, the vast majority of notebooks now use the batteries; are allocated to BenQ joybook5000 Battery as an example for everyone on the composition of the battery. We have seen JOYBOOK5000 battery package is actually a good group of batteries, a battery designed by the shell, ThinkPad R60 , ThinkPad T60 and protection circuit group consists of three parts. Niche here for details on batteries and circuits to protect an important part of the two, so that we can all work on the principle of the battery has a basic understanding in order to be able to use the correct maintenance of your notebook battery so that it Better for you.

Notebook Battery test the software and how to use Notes

November 27th, 2008 by ourelectronic

In addition to the notebook processing power by the people’s attention, there is an indicator of considerable concern to users, and that is battery life. In addition to Chinese consumers for carrying a notebook, more importantly, it does not need to be limited by the power, do not have to need a long “tail”, in the absence of an external power supply can also be occasions to use as usual, so the battery for users It is a very sensitive thing, if put in a notebook around, but no battery power, and that scales with a weight belt is no different. Therefore, to understand their own laptop battery life is the time users on the occasion of the imminent and urgent need to avoid the use of the IBM laptop battery ThinkPad T40 , ThinkPad T41 when it “strikes”. In this regard, what should we be more “authority” to detect the use of battery time? Nanbu Cheng us with a stopwatch to time? In fact, there is special software on the battery life for more objective assessment, for example, Battery Mark, Battery Eater, MobileMark2002 and so on. To introduce a more authoritative, but also the application of a relatively large number of software testing battery Battery Mark and the use of attention should be paid.

First of all, let us together find out the Battery Mark principle of it. In fact, Battery Mark use the built-in Graphics engine, Processor engine, Disk engine, Think engine, 4 engines to simulate the actual operation of the battery power consumption. 4 passage of the engine cycle between the non-stop operation of the simulation environment for users to a comprehensive ThinkPad T42 Series of tests to the specific situation. Every 2 to 3 minutes to test the software will automatically save the data to a specific directory below. When the battery will run out to complete, automatic shutdown before the last save as a result of the test will be the end result.

(Small knowledge: Graphics engine simulation multimedia notebook during the course of the operation. Processor engine is simulated in the notebook ThinkPad T43 in high-load environment. Disk engine simulation of actual use of them working hard. Think engine in practice simulation in a notebook idle state Environment.)

Usage

Some of the software to understand the basic situation, then let us take a look at how to operate the set.

Run the premise is that we have to charge the notebook’s ThinkPad R50 to full power, then the system shut down a number of related management systems, which shut down the specific needs, see below.

First of all, should close the screen saver, if the screen open procedure, the test process, there may be a matter of time and activate the screen saver. Right-click on the desktop, choose “Properties” and “Screen Saver” page to screen selected as the program “(no)”, then “application.”

Click on the next page in the lower right corner of the “Power” button, be able to enter the power management, power scheme will be following all the items are changed to “never.”

Switch to the “warning” page will be “less ThinkPad R51 Series alarm” and “a serious shortage of battery alarm” two Duigou are removed.

Switch to the “dormancy” of the page to see the “start dormant” in front of check whether there are (now the vast majority of notebooks will be able to activate dormant features of the system) and, if so, will remove the hook. Then click “OK”, this has been shut down power management.

Battery Mark because of the Graphics engine needs to show some full-screen graphics, and some sub-standard screen resolution of 1024X768 resolution, the first adjustment will be mandatory for 1024X768, if more than 1024X768 resolution would not have had. Also due to FRU 08K8193 , 92P1060 Mark in full-screen display and in the middle between the switch and the task bar will have a negative impact, it is best to the task bar at the top of the total removal of the option.

All of the above are Windows power management bring their own set of procedures, some of the larger manufacturers will have its own dedicated power management procedures, the basic substance of the same, as long as the above, in accordance with the principles of setting it. (Of course, the above is set for the media for the evaluation, as individuals in the test of time, manufacturers can use its own allocation of special procedures, the test of time the 08K8214 , 08K8195 will be a little bit long)

After a series of settings above, basically there is no need to set up the other, then we can run the Battery Mark (the beginning of the procedure → → Ziff Davis Media BenchMarks → Ziff Davis Media Battery Mark 4.0.1), but we do not have to be anxious Disconnect the power supply, because there are behind the “long” things to look at it.

First of all we see is the screen License. At this point the page on the “Proceed” for the gray can not click, we simply rolled on the right side of the scroll bar at the bottom, “Proceed” button will automatically become available 08K8193.

Then the software will be prompted to fill in with the names of organizations, here we can not fill, do not care.

Following the confirmation page, click “OK” on it.

After “a lot of hard work”, has finally seen the “truth.” That just spent a long time ago and have only a little more than the beginning. Here are a few options:

1.Run (test)

2.Save results (save the test results)

3.Compare results (results of the comparison)

4.Help (help)

Click Run, software, hardware platform will be tested to see if it meets the requirements, if not you can not continue to run 08K8192 Mark. (Black mark in line with the machines that test the minimum requirements; yellow X machines, although that did not meet the minimum requirements, but also can finish the whole test; red X machines were unable to finish the whole test.)

According to the “next step” will show that the so-called Battery Mark minimum configuration requirements.

“The next step,” there is a full page of English here, Battery Mark will once again stressed the resolution as well as the adjustment of the taskbar to hide the problem. At the bottom of the test is needed to install the font what the requirements are generally No missing fonts (not the lack of fonts).

You Dianfan feel, is an interface in the top of our concern is not specified. In order to avoid the testing process by the impact of other procedures, 92P1101 , 92P1089 Mark will automatically detect the program is running, side by side, if the yellow X, will not have an impact.

Then this page has suggested that if the software runs on Windows Me system, the first ME “system restore” feature off, or will affect the test.

Zhongyu Ao under this end, than the feeling of the Long March was also hard at this point “to complete” could be the beginning of the test (if it happened in front of a red X, will complete the button is gray.).

Fainted, was to deceive the feelings of the software. This is a test page92P1087 , 08K8194 Mark and machine power management procedures compatible Continue at the beginning of testing. (As the old models for the power management compatibility, Battery Mark for a dedicated power management compatibility less)

If the point of no big changes (only the bottom), 60 seconds after the emergence of Retry with the Cancel option at this time we should be bold by Cancel, will not fall into the cycle of death.

At this point a warning will pop up, suggesting Battery Mark will be no power management of the operation, according to the F3 to continue, according to exit Esc.

F3 test by entering the selection window, where we can choose Conditioning Run and Life Test of two test mode. Conditioning Run full load model, which is called 3 engine: Graphics engine, Processor engine, Disk engine, simulation notebook in a large workload of the state for a long time 08K8196 , 92P1102 . Conditioning Run compared with the model, Life Test model with a multi-engine Think engine, the main simulation in the practical application of these notebooks. Under normal circumstances, Life Test mode than Conditioning Run mode for a long time 30% -40%.

Choose to test the project, according to the F3, there will be a warning (Does not have the power management of the test). At this point the power adapter disconnected, and then press F3 to start.

If the wrong selection of test items, the need to withdraw from the case by F3, and then again by confirmation from the F3. Choosing the right to re-test to test (to remember the first first full power).

As for the test of time, depending on the specific model. As measured by the author before the Sony TX, C mode, running a total of more than 4 hours, while the L model run, a night to sleep, wake up the next morning, not run, a full 7 hours. However, under normal circumstances, even if another big-power (or small-capacity 92P1077 , 92P1073), have generally come to an hour, so we can go red cup of coffee, look at Bianhe Bian-series, read again, it is estimated that almost nine.

Notes:

1. Life Test in the test, the general is to adjust the screen brightness to 50 (some models in the use of batteries, will automatically reduce the brightness of the screen, this time to go without their adjustment), if the laptop’s own Special software can be transferred to the best 08K8199 performance mode. And Conditioning Run mode, then the best would be transferred to a maximum brightness of the screen, the software settings for optimal performance mode.

1.Battery Mark memory of a certain request, if the memory of the relatively low death may occur, the proposed system, Win98, at least 64MB RAM or more, Win2k more than 128MB system, WinXP 256MB or more in order to avoid the crash occurred.

2. Attention to the settings should be revised, such as the power to use the program, warning, status bar, the screen saver, hibernation, we should double-check if there are any omissions, affect the accuracy of test results.

3. Battery Mark sometimes run the wrong time, the user need not worry as long as a good restart, but also in front and then continued to interrupt the test.

4. Lithium 08K8198 , 08K8197 , 92P1075 because of the limited number of charge and discharge, and occasionally you will not run on life have much effect, but if too frequent use of the Battery Mark test, will affect battery life.

On the notebook’s battery-related knowledge

November 27th, 2008 by ourelectronic

We buy a notebook, is the value of its mobility. Today’s laptop computers, are all built of Health have a good, so we are all generally small size of the view that mobility is better. In fact, not necessarily to decide whether the notebook mobility of qualified, but also an important factor - PA3384U-1BRS. Why? We can imagine that if you buy a smaller size laptop, but battery life is not ideal, but not the kind of depressed mood to vent. Today, on Xiaobian to tell you is that, on the notebook’s battery-related knowledge.

First of all, we have to find out the type of notebook batteries. At present, the use of the laptop batteries were divided into three types: 1. Nickel-chromium batteries, 2. Ni-MH battery, 3. Lithium batteries. They said that on the side: Ni-Cd NI-CD, Ni-MH NI-MH, Li-electric LI.

Nickel-cadmium (niege) Battery: It is the end of the 19th century by the Swedish inventor of such batteries have the so-called memory effect, what is the specific memory effect, we just give an example, you: When a battery is fully charged, It can be a continuous electrical discharge 60 minutes. Now we have to use this section of the batteries for electric discharge, discharge to 30 minutes to stop, and then this section for charging the PA3285U-1BRS , PA3191U-1BRS, good and sufficient power to continue to discharge after 30 minutes, each time for not fully discharged, after repeated operations N This section will have a battery memory effect, after the use of the process, when the battery discharge after 30 minutes, it is no longer the output current, that is to say, this section of the battery capacity has been cut in half. Ni-Cd memory effect is very serious.

Ni-MH battery: Ni-Cr early battery alternatives, greatly reduces the nickel-cadmium batteries in the existence of a “memory effect”, which makes nickel-metal hydride Tecra 9100 , Satellite 1900 , Satellite A60-662 can be more convenient to use. Nickel-metal hydride batteries and nickel-cadmium PA3166U-1BRS , PA3331U-1BRS are basically the same as the cathode, are for the positive electrode nickel hydroxide. The main difference is the nickel-cadmium batteries used in the cathode active material is cadmium, nickel metal hydride batteries and high-energy based hydrogen storage alloy for the negative electrode, the nickel-metal hydride batteries have more energy.

Nickel-metal hydride batteries are the main characteristics of 5:00:

1, the energy density than nickel-cadmium PA3098U-1BRS twice as large.

2, round after round of 500 to complete the cycle of charge and discharge.

3, with the door side of the charger can be recharged in one hour fast charge.

4, self-discharge characteristics than the nickel-cadmium batteries, rechargeable can be retained for a longer time.

5, up to 3 times more efficient discharge in a row.

Lithium battery: lithium battery is from a class of lithium metal or lithium alloy anode materials for the use of non-aqueous electrolyte solution of the battery. 20 of these batteries is the actual success of the development of a new type of high-energy PA3084U-1BRS , PA3399U-1BRS , PA3395U-1BRS, has a high-energy, high-voltage battery, operating temperature range, long storage life, and other advantages.

Lithium batteries have a home page features 7:00:

1, high-energy high-density. Lithium-ion batteries are the same weight capacity of Ni-Cd or Ni-MH battery half of the volume is 40-50% of the nickel-cadmium, nickel hydrogen 20-30%.

2, high-voltage, a single lithium battery’s voltage to the work of 3.7V (average), the equivalent of three series of nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal hydride Tecra 8000 , Tecra 8100 , Tecra 9000.

3, pollution-free, lithium-ion Satellite A65 Series , Satellite 2100 do not contain such as cadmium, lead, mercury and such harmful metals.

4, does not contain lithium and lithium-ion battery does not contain lithium, which is not on the Prohibition of the transport plane carrying aircraft in the lithium battery, and other provisions.

5, high cycle life, under normal conditions, lithium-ion PA3250U-1BRS charge and discharge cycles can be more than 500 times.

6, no memory effect, the memory effect is the nickel-cadmium batteries in the charge-discharge cycle, reducing the capacity of the battery. Lithium-ion batteries that effect does not exist.

7, the use of rated voltage of 4.2V voltage constant current charger can make lithium-ion battery in 1-2 hours to be in full charge.

Well, to find out about the battery type and characteristics, we come to find out the battery power of the issue.

There are a lot of people buy a laptop when the battery is about to start, and configure their business only on a single reading of the battery capacity of xxxxmAh not write battery voltage, in fact, the true reprint battery energy is not the size of the unit mAh but Wh. Battery power is based on a formula: battery power (Wh) = battery voltage (V) x battery capacity (Ah). Please note that here is the battery capacity Ah, not mAh, 1Ah = 1000mAh. For example, touch the PA3356U-1BRS ,PA3291U-1BRS block is the nominal 10.8V/2200mAh, it is the power of 10.8Vx2200mAh/1000 = 23.76Wh. The battery voltage and capacity in general will be marked on the battery, their calculations on the know. Some manufacturers will not be marked on the battery specifications, so we can only use the software to be tested.

Battery power in this respect we need to note that the replacement of the battery problems. And the battery charger is inseparable, that is, we are talking about normal power supply. If you want to replace the battery, you may choose the same model to use the same power, we can be assured that the replacement of business when you have to be clear. At the same time, the Chargers also need the attention. All notebook models of voltage and current, and even interfaces are different, common to a variety of models with “compatible charger”, more expensive than the original. Even the interface is like, different voltage and current notebook is not working. If the voltage lower than the current standard of value, then the laptop at full speed in the work will lead to shortage of power supply, so that the battery is a lot of harm. If the voltage higher than the current standard of value, notebook and even the roots will not be able to boot or not to start charging, the board may eventually lead to burning. So choose a good charger, the notebook’s PA3506U-1BRS , PA3591U-1BRS , Portege 4000 maintenance is very important.

There are many of my friends are concerned about this problem because there is no knowledge that it dares not reckless action. On the one hand, is a charger, if the batteries die, you can replace the batteries.

In fact, there is also a battery inside the batteries, long way from our usual battery used almost only to be larger. Many of the batteries are designed with a self-locking function, in other words, once the Satellite A10 Series , Satellite A100 out of control circuit, it will enter the self-locking state. Into the self-locking state battery, will not be able to work on the battery become obsolete, only certain way in order to unlock, which only professional engineers can. Therefore, we can only choose to replace the battery core. Battery replacement batteries can not be so arbitrary, and we hope to find more professional personnel to replace. If his replacement, an end-of-life battery is small, but that effort did not succeed in the fight against what is the most depressing.

Most people should be worried about is that the bombing of the notebook, in fact, we may very puzzled why the battery and then the explosion? The main reason is that manufacturers should be poor-quality work, resulting in the use of short-circuit in an explosion injuries. However, there are also a part of the reason is because the user caused by improper use. Many users may encounter such problems, only when the battery charge to 99% charge is less than 100%. In fact, this is only a problem if the charge to 99% can not continue to charge the battery, Satellite A70 , Satellite A75 that has been filled. If we or always sufficient, the last on the battery is likely to lead to an explosion.

On the notebook’s battery maintenance, Xiao Bian here with you no more, I believe there are many on-line article on battery maintenance. With knowledge of the battery Xiaobian only know so much, we can provide help so much, and I hope you can help

Notebook battery maintenance of the five major errors

November 27th, 2008 by ourelectronic

From the notebook of the birth of the day, the Fujitsu laptop battery on the controversy has never stopped, because of persistent use of laptops is a very important indicator of technology, and the capacity of the battery determines that laptop’s important indicator. In the end how can we maximize the use of the battery to play the effect of extending the battery life of it? Now, we all set out for a few people often vulnerable to the misunderstanding: (without all that for now the most commonly used lithium-ion battery)
I, for the first time the use of batteries, three times before the need to charge 12 hours?
This is totally unnecessary. Because the laptop has improved power management circuits and charging management system, when the FPCBP80 reached saturation, the control circuit will automatically switch to the open state, so long as the line is full, does not mean that you will be able to charge more for a long time with longer The.
Second, in order to prevent the memory effect, should it run out of electric charge it?
Every time charge of battery discharge before it is not necessary, but also harmful. Practice has proved that as: the depth of the battery will discharge unnecessary to shorten battery life, when the proposal to use about 10% of the FPCBP77 can be recharged when the. When the battery, of course, there are still more than 30% of electricity when it would be better not to charge, because the memory effect is real.
Third, insert AC, the battery should be to win in order to prevent repeated charge and discharge it?
I suggest that is: do not have to! Of course, you can get lithium-ion FPCBP68 discharge natural to refute me, saying that in the natural discharge the battery, if there is access to power will be repeated charge-discharge, reduced battery life. I give you a “no” answer to the following reasons:
1. Notebooks now have the power control circuit design of the features: When the battery is 90% (as most of the HP models) or 95% of the charge will be, and to achieve this through the natural discharge capacity of 2 hours a week , When the batteries do not have to idle for about a month to complete in order to maintain the FPCBP63 charge and discharge capacity at this time you should be concerned about the battery should be about training the body and not be left idle after the re-charging.
2. Even if the battery “unfortunate” was once again charge, the loss will not be brought about by the long period of time than the battery consumption caused by the large decline in the number.
3. Your data than you or your notebook FPCBP95 are much more valuable, not only power all of a sudden you have a notebook injury, is unable to restore the data it is too late to regret the.
Fourth, long-term need to preserve battery power is full of it?
Read the following table on this clear: (percentage of saturation at the time of the initial value of the relative percentage)
Storage temperature of 40% of the state-of-charge 100% state of charge
0 degrees 98% (after one year) 94% (after one year)
25 degrees 96% (after one year) 80% (after one year)
40 degrees 85% (after one year) 65 percent (a year later)
60 degrees 75% (after one year) 60% (3 months)
It is clear that if the long-term preservation of the battery, as far as possible on the dry and low temperature environment so that the remaining battery power in about 40% of the best. Of course, the best month we should come out with a battery, the PA2487U , PA3107U-1BRS can ensure a good state of preservation, and not let the loss of full electricity and cell damage.
Fifth, as far as possible in how to use the notebook to extend the use of time?
1. To reduce the brightness of the screen. However, large-screen LCD power consumption, reduce the brightness can be used to extend the time.
2. PowerPlay and open SpeedStep power-saving features, and so on. Now the notebook and display processor chips have a lower frequency and voltage to extend the use of the function of the time, open the corresponding options can significantly extend the PA3383U-1BRS life.
3. The use of hard disk drive and the deceleration of the software: NERO DriveSpeed, PowerBooster software can reduce the drive, hard disk drives, such as speed, can effectively reduce the notebook.

Laptop battery maintenance and optimization

November 26th, 2008 by ourelectronic

“Mobility” is different from the notebook computer desktop is an important characteristic. It is also because of the characteristics, so that the laptop battery inadvertently take on the responsibility of safeguarding the image. A lack of long Sony laptop battery
life of notebook capacity, it is impossible to take the needs of mobile office for a long time. And a lack of battery power to help the laptop, and its “Anytime, Anywhere” The advantage is that it is even more out of the question of.

At present, many users of laptop batteries for use just to stay in the primary stage, how to protect the battery as well as the rational use of all batteries do not know. Whenever these big customers to complain about battery life is too short or long battery life is not at the same time is first of all carefully from the normal use of their own look for the reasons for this? Of course, these two problems caused by the Sony PCGA-BP1N battery does not rule out the reasons for their quality, but the vast majority of the current situation, improper use of man-made is a very common phenomenon.

Many people think that the laptop’s battery life is calculated in accordance with the use of life but actually it is not really play a decisive factor should be the number of full charge and discharge. This is not a special case of notebook computers, where all the rechargeable battery is so. Under normal circumstances, it is now generally used in notebook computer lithium-ion battery for the 400 or so take charge of life; Ni-MH battery life a lot longer to reach a thousand times take the necessary and sufficient, but has a strong Electrical memory effect, so although life expectancy than the previous lithium-ion batteries, but its day-to-day use of state, Ni-MH Sony PCGA-BP2NX battery performance is far behind lithium-ion battery.

We have the same human sickness and death, the battery is gradually after the aging and eventually death. As a result, proper use and maintenance of battery is particularly important.

General machinery of the new batteries will be in charge in advance to a certain degree of power for use in the test machine, so you will have to go home after the first machine to this part of the electricity charge for exhausted after work. And the future of every charge must ensure that the remaining Sony PCGA-BP2NY battery power consumption by as much as possible and then to carry out clean.

If the battery needs to be shelved for a long time to save, then left in the battery to ensure a certain degree of power, all manufacturers of whether the stay of the remaining number of different power, but I suggest all of us still full of power after a good save; other long-term non-use of the In the battery at least once a month depth charge and discharge must also work to be done, it is aimed at preventing the long-ion batteries have not been used in case of loss of electricity caused by the activity no longer be able to charge again.

In the computer environment, the use of power supply stability, we proposed to remove the battery, and using a separate power adapter power supply. The aim is simple to avoid frequent battery is not fully discharged in the case was charging. Our environment is absolutely impossible for insulation, so even if the battery is not used will be the same natural power, so that when connected to power again, will be carried out on the Sony PCGA-BP2R battery charge. This is a strong power of the memory effect of Ni-MH battery injury is a very large, although the lithium-ion batteries power the memory effect is almost negligible, but not a long period of charging and discharging will to a certain extent, reduce the Sony PCGA-BP2S battery Life. Of course, if you use the computer’s power supply situation is very bad environment, do not do this, and the price of tens of thousands of laptop comparison, a cell is still relatively cheap, the baby lost his melon on a cost-effective .

Battery maintenance, no matter how, if the method shall not be treated in use, will never be able to give full play to its effectiveness. The same specifications as the battery, why in the day-to-day use and promotion by manufacturers of the difference in time, the use of so many subjects? This is a lot of customers after the purchase is a matter of doubt. Of course, this information does exist a number of misleading, as advocated by the number of manufacturers are in the extreme power of the test results, and our day-to-day use is not possible to reach such an environment. Even so, the difference would not have a lot of time, Sony PCGA-BP2T battery usually about 10-25 minutes (only writing word-processing, web browsing, and so simple to operate). In addition there may be a user of the power of some operations, such as watch video, play games and so on.

On the rational use of batteries and optimize methods, we have all the hardware from the laptop’s own characteristics in terms of categories. Before talking about, let us come to the notebook computer in all hardware power of the smallest case for a simple sort, then followed by “LCD, optical drive, hard drive, memory and central processing unit, the other (interfaces, peripherals and so on ). ”

1.LCD LCD

While the liquid crystal display LCD than CRT monitors have a lot of power, but in many laptop hardware, it is a big power. Among them, and the power consumption is directly related to the factors is the screen brightness and display refresh rate.

A. display brightness

LCD brightness of the full board from the rear of the screen placed in the back of the tube, it can be imagined, lamp brightness caused by the high and low power consumption is never the same. Therefore, if the use of Sony PCGA-BP2V battery -powered, visually to the extent permitted by as much as possible to reduce the display’s brightness can save some electricity. In other words it had broken down in the middle of the user’s screen will be on the all-black background can be adjusted to reduce the power consumption of this LCD is wrong. The use of all-black background as opposed to those who fancy background can indeed reduce the consumption of the system, which to some extent played the role of energy-saving, but to do so by saving energy is minimal, but LCD is not brought about by Because no matter what kind of background, on the LCD’s brightness is no change.

Moreover, many users prefer to use the laptop screen saver, which may CRT display also has a protective effect, but the use of Sony PCGA-BP4V battery-powered laptop, it can be said is not useful . But now the screen saver can be said to be doing more and more fancy, running the screen saver when the system load it more, then naturally increased power consumption. It is therefore recommended that you leave the computer in time will have the option to close LCD, or the use of sleep function, or even shut down your computer. IBM users more fortunate, can be used directly FN + F3 to close the screen:).

B. display refresh rate

It is well known, LCD’s refresh rate is a parameter in name only, because there is no LCD display is flashing, the general notebook refresh rate is fixed re-60Hz, reduce the increase is of no use. But when we refresh the screen a number of very fast operation, also will increase the power consumption. This explains why, as well as playing video games, Sony PCGA-BP71 battery consumption will be very soon, apart from the CPU, video card, and other hardware to increase the load, constantly repeated the action Shuabing is also a crucial factor in power consumption.

Unfortunately, however, the problem is basically not a good solution, we can only suggest that the use of battery-powered as much as possible when the video to see less and less to play the game … …: (

For IBM notebook computer, its unique power management software can be adjusted Battery MaxMiser laptop screen refresh rate, see figure, IBM’s exclusive features:

2. CD-ROM

Many users believe that the drive was mainly due to the power of the laser head of the transmitting power. In fact, the first laser transmitter power consumption will necessarily despite electricity, but compared with the motor rotation, it is not a what.

In fact, the notebook has been in energy-saving drive up and down a lot of effort, we can feel the drive belt when the disk is idle, the motor will be in a very short period of time from the high-speed down to the last stop low-speed rotation. But read the CD-ROM, will be rotating motor, motor rotation must be consumed electricity. And the laptop Sony VGP-BPL2 battery has a CD-ROM problems, and that is when, or insert boot disk with CD-ROM will first turn on a few of the buzz, which is to consume electricity.

In fact, this problem can be solved. In addition to the use of batteries in less time as far as possible the use of CD-ROM, also known as the use of a Nero Driver Speed CD-ROM software to reduce the speed.

This is a very good green software, no need to be installed to run in the Nero Driver Speed Options can click on “Detect” button to detect the current drive supported by the speed of file, and can choose the language interface Sony VGP-BPS3 battery. Language from the menu, we can see that this software can show support for Simplified Chinese.

In the interface, the drive can read the speed and load to stop the rotation after the time for the definition and can run the software on the way to conduct a detailed definition.

In addition, if your CD-ROM support for the DMA transfer mode, then certainly keep in mind that in the Device Manager will open the function, and do not use PIO mode. This will effectively reduce the share of the CPU, so as to achieve energy efficiency.

3. Hard

With a similar drive, turning the motor power is also a factor in one of the other heads of the hard disk seek time will also have a corresponding movement of power.

A laptop computer hard drive energy-saving design is a certain period of time when the hard disk for users to put an end to read and write operations, will head to the auto, motor idling into the state, but the weakness lies in the design of hard disk heads will be ready to re - Since the hard disk seek testing the use of state. Each head of the mechanical movement will bring a certain degree of power consumption, the power management in the process of “free hard disk closing time” is Sony VGP-BPS5 battery set very necessary.

If your notebook computer using the IBM TravelStar hard drive, then you can use a software PowerBooster hard to achieve energy-saving operation, the software’s interface is very simple, you just need to move on the “minimum energy consumption” and “the greatest performance” Between the blocks can be designated.

Another possible choice of models to update the hard drive because they can support a higher rate of transmission standards, but it also needs the support of the motherboard chipset. At present, the general might be able to see the hard disk are DMA/66 support and DMA/100 standard Sony VGP-BPS8 battery , although generally only for the speed to 4200 / notebook computer hard drive is concerned, DMA/100 in the transfer rate on the role of performance is not Out because of the internal hard disk transfer rate impossible to achieve the goal. But effectively reduce the share of the CPU, it does have a large role.

4. CPU and memory

Will be part of the reason why these two together is that they contain between the hardware is more obvious. When the computer’s CPU speed is relatively high, compared with an hour of memory, the CPU is actually waiting for the memory; and when the CPU speed is relatively low, the memory is very large, there have been waiting for the CPU memory. In either case, the system will increase its operating capacity, at the same time is not conducive to energy conservation.

A. CPU

First of all, as far as possible choose to use mobile notebook computer CPU, as the mobile CPU for notebook computers has made energy-saving design. We were well-known features of the Intel SpeedStep is one of the great characteristics from the P3-600Mhz processor after, Intel mobile CPU in the official added this feature Sony VGP-BPS9 battery, which allows the CPU to use battery-powered clock automatically reduce the frequency of operation, In order to play the role of energy conservation. (Mobile Celeron processors do not have the features)

Intel SpeedStep:

If you are using Windows 98/Me/2000 operating system can go to the Intel Web site to download and install the program SpeedStep, in the process of the interface can be the CPU clock frequency definition, the user may need to use their own CPU running the designated frequency level. Such as IBM, SONY, and other brand of notebook computer power management program also offers a similar feature, although the same is also based on Intel SpeedStep, but much more detailed, provided a wealth of energy-saving models to suit the theme of the use of demand. Although Windows XP already embedded in the process Sony VGP-BPS10 battery, but regrets that it did not provide the definition of the procedures manual, the system will automatically install after the end of the default power management program will be adjusted to energy-saving notebook computer program, which is why a lot of Users feel that Windows XP installed on the computer system after a slow one of the reasons why.

If you choose this, your processor at full speed in any situation Pao Bule:

This can only choose:

OSHIBA laptop power management program

If the choice is another Pentium 3 processor notebook computer, as far as possible to opt for the Tualatin .13 micron core Pentium 3-M processor, as compared to the old .18 micron copper core of the Pentium 3, new Generation of processors in the power saving and performance have a lot of good.

B. Memory

Many people think that the DDR memory than ordinary power SDRAM memory, in fact, this is wrong because they overlook the

The use of DDR memory notebook computer with Pentium 4 is more and Nvida Geforce (ATI Radeon) graphics card such a big power, in power naturally is not possible to be small. But the memory on its own terms, DDR rather than power SDRAM, DDR memory because the voltage is 2.5v, and ordinary SDRAM memory for 3.3v.
Of course, it is not possible voltage changes, and we can change only the amount of memory. Under the system needs to choose the right size of the memory is Sony PCG-R505 batteryvery important, otherwise there will be because the memory is too small, causing the system to read a large number of hard disk space as virtual memory, it is natural to increase the power consumption.

The following is a different operating system memory proposals:

Windows 98> = 64M

Windows Me> = 128M

Windows 2K> = 192M

Windows XP> = 256M

5. Other (interfaces, peripherals, etc.)

We used USB, PCMCIA interface are charged, the power consumption is inevitable. Moreover, according to an external device used by different power consumption has also brought about by the will, for example, mobile hard drive power consumption than external mouse is great.

There is only one solution, which is in the process of using the Sony PCG-V505 battery as much as possible of those who spend less interface, unless forced to use. After the used equipment must remember to remove, because although the device to stop working, but the interface in order to maintain communications equipment and computers, must also consume electricity.

For some, we almost do not have to interface, you can consider it a temporary closure of the attention is not in the hardware manager of the property in equipment to disable the device, but the CMOS settings to Disable. For example, we are familiar with the infrared interface, it’s time to time and then automatically open around the existence of infrared scanning equipment, this is the will power.

Finally, we made available to a proposal that is in the hardware configuration to allow as much as possible on the premise of the selection of the latest operating system, as in the energy-saving design, compared to their pre-generation operating system to improve many. In addition, a reasonable combination of Windows power management procedure or notebook computer manufacturers of specially designed power management procedures of the power savings are helpful.

Optimization of these operations can not play the role of the extended Sony PCG-Z505 battery life, but can really feasible as far as possible within the scope of the extension of battery life, so as to maximize battery performance. After more than one operation, battery life can be extended by about 10-15 minutes, the sounds seem to think that optimize the role of the less obvious, but it can not Xiao Qiao such a short span of ten minutes, it may be the most critical Computer has become an important moment in the life-saving information on the straw. Battery protection is not the same everywhere, or do not have to worry about batteries, a reasonable operating under the premise of rest assured that you use bold, it’s better for our effectiveness is the key.

Notebook battery maintenance guide

November 26th, 2008 by ourelectronic

Who does not want to be more laptop HP 338794-001 battery , HP PP2182L battery , HP 345027-001 battery for a long time, longer? Unfortunately, the Armada E500 is a consumable, has a limited life span. In the notebook of all the important parts, battery life almost as soon as possible accessories, but the right to use the appropriate charge and discharge, the correct storage, will be able to significantly extend the battery life of notebook computers.

A good habit to develop.
Want to live longer notebook EVO N410c, it has to be a good start, the new notebook for the first time in the boot when the battery in general with about 3% of the electricity, the first time do not use an external power supply, the battery’s power than is used up, until the shutdown And then charge an external power supply. But also to the HP 342661-001 battery charge after the exhaustion of power, charge time to 14 hours, repeated three times to do in order to fully activate the battery in order for future use to lay a good foundation.

Second, the attention of a number of batteries used in point.

1. Have to use an external power supply when the HP Pavilion dv8000 battery , HP HSTNN-DB20 battery need to take it?

Notebook computer batteries will be placed in the long computer, customers need not worry that lead to shortened battery life. When the battery charge to 100% charge control chips (FET) will stop charging the battery. Subsequently, the battery power will be used to reduce the natural process. When the power down to 95% of the time, FET will be carried out to the drip-rechargeable batteries until the electricity back to 100%. This product is designed to extend battery life of the natural, so keep notebook HP 395789-001 battery placed in the computer will not affect the natural life of the battery.

Of course, if the use of an external power supply, you can check the battery down, will not be affected. However, if the shutdown in the following states, not connected to external power or batteries fitted, then the notebook computer’s BIOS on the motherboard battery-powered electricity will not be added, which can lead to the maintenance of the system clock to run and maintain the BIOS information. Computer system itself should have an external power supply (including DC transformer or laptop Evo N600C , Evo N610C ), in order to continue to work; irrespective of whether the computer is open or closed, if the laptop HP 396008-001 battery is not installed, even if the computer is not being used, the computer should be With the external direct current transformer (external power supply) connected. In addition, your data than you or your notebook batteries are much more valuable, not only power all of a sudden you have a notebook injury, is unable to restore the data it is too late to regret the.

2. Notebooks do not have long-term, how to save the battery?
We will face a period of time not to use the notebook, how to save the battery. Is full of power save, or save electricity put END? All along, there are diverse views.

Whether it is full or shine, in fact, are not true, let a long-term preservation of photoelectric batteries will lose their activity and even lead to the control Presario 900 , Presario 1700 circuit protection and self-locking no longer be able to use the full power will bring long-term preservation of the security problems, the most The ideal of preserve is about 40% of discharge to the preservation and then, afraid of lithium HP Pavilion dv9000 battery , HP EV087AA battery and high-temperature and humid, it should be placed in a cool dry place to preserve, but the temperature not too low, or capacity will be greatly reduced, about 20 degrees or so is ideal Preservation temperature.

Read the following table on this clear: (percentage of saturation at the time of the initial value of the relative percentage)
Storage temperature of 40% of the state-of-charge 100% state of charge
0 degrees 98% (after one year) 94% (after one year)

25 degrees 96% (after one year) 80% (after one year)

40 degrees 85% (after one year) 65% (after one year)

60 degrees 75% (after one year) 60% (3 months)

It is clear that if the long-term preservation of the battery, as far as possible on the dry and low temperature environment so that the remaining battery power in about 40% of the ideal, of course, should be the best month to come up with a HP EX942AA battery that can ensure a good save battery , Also would not let the loss of full electricity and cell damage.

3. As far as possible in how to use the notebook to extend the use of time?

(1) reduce the brightness of the screen. However, large-screen LCD power consumption, reduce the brightness can be effective to extend battery life; how to adjust the brightness of the notebook, please refer to the specific:
http://support1.ap.dell.com/cn/zh/forum/thread.asp?fid=25&tid=45151
(2) to open and SpeedStep power-saving features such as the PowerPlay. Now the notebook and display processor chips have a lower frequency and voltage to extend the use of the function of the time, open the corresponding options can significantly extend the Evo N620C ,Presario 1200 life;
(3) notebook hard disk, it is one of the components of the power consumption compared with that as long as power will be in a state of reading and writing, the process of the hard drive, the more the number of visits, the more power will be hard, so under normal circumstances do not In the large-scale software running on your hard disk, do not use the HP Pavilion ZT3000 battery in a separate case for Disk Defragmenter. The notebook is also a notebook drive in big power, full-speed work under the hard drive more than the cost of electricity, but also have a greater heat, so when we are in a long time ago not to use the CD-ROM will be the best time to CD-ROM From out in the drive. For frequent users of CD-ROM, the best way is to use virtual CD-ROM software to its virtual Presario 1800, this is the most power.
Can try to install through NERO DriveSpeed, PowerBooster software can reduce the drive, hard disk drives, such as speed, can effectively reduce the power consumption of notebook;
(4) peripherals. As pcmcia card, as long as peripherals such as printers connected to the notebook HP 337607-001 battery , HP 337607-003 battery, even if it does not work in the notebook would consume power, so when we do not need to use these peripherals best when they get down from the notebook. If you do not often use the port facilities such as modem, com port, infrared, wireless LAN and so on, preferably in the BIOS to disable it.
(5) software. Suggested that the use of Armada M700 , EVO N400c , do not use some of the functions of the system, but demanding software. Regular customers have mentioned that the play of the game, or watch movies online, 6-cell battery can only be about 1 hour and many, in fact, this is a normal phenomenon, as well as the battery is too high expectations.
(6) heat. On the surface of the notebook and laptop cooling power of no contact, in fact, the relationship between the two are very close. As the notebooks are smaller and require its own cooling system to regulate the heat. When the temperature reaches a certain temperature when the program started fan, the notebooks will increase power consumption, so long as we can to help heat the notebook Presario 700, laptop temperature control, temperature control can reduce the time to start the fan, so it can be Extend notebook 398876-001 . PB992A life. On how to make a better notebook cooling, the specific reference to:
http://support1.ap.dell.com/cn/zh/forum/thread.asp?fid=5&tid=46556
(7) make the best use of standby, sleep and other functions. When a longer period of time do not have a computer that allows notebook standby or hibernation, both to save power and extend the service life of the computer. WINDOWS in the process of power management settings, we generally can be set to “Portable / laptop.” At the same time, you can display the proposed properties screen saver is set to direct “black” and the wait time is set to 5 minutes PB994A , PB991A, so that when we do not operate for a period of time notebook, it will direct black, than this Other screen saver to run more power.
Battery on the controversy continues, if we have any objection to the Forum http://bbs.dell.com.cn question, let us discuss this topic in the debate.
