Maximize Laptop/Notebook Battery Life Tips


  
Problems: Is any problem if I plug in my laptop/notebook all the time? Do I need take out the battery from my laptop if I use AC most of time?

Laptop/Notebook Battery Tips: With a little bit of care, you can maximize the battery life and lifespan of your laptop /notebook's battery.



The following are useful standard maintenance tips for a lithium-based battery. It will prolong your laptop/notebook battery life.
Temperature
Keep and store the laptop/notebook as near room temperature as possible (50° to 95°F). Don’t leave it locked in a hot trunk during the summer.

In portable
Keep the laptop/notebook in portable occasionally. Don’t leave your laptop/notebook plugged in all the time. It will damage and shorten the battery life.

Charging and discharging
Keep the laptop/notebook charging and discharging its battery at least once per month.

Removing the battery
Consider removing the battery from the laptop/notebook if you use it at home with access to AC power most of the time.

Long-term storage
Store the battery with a 50% charge for long-term storage. Neither fully discharged nor fully charged. If you store a battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding any charge. Conversely, if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience some loss of battery capacity, meaning it will have a shorter life.
