Continuous discharge will make the laptop battery quickly 'bottle'

Should run the laptop with the charger and remove the battery full, this operation helps the battery in the laptop more durable. This unit will reduce the service life if both charging and operating the machine at this time.

Newly bought a laptop "top", Mr. Nguyen Dinh Trung cradled it from the crust to the energy storage component for the machine. Being advised by many people, Trung is very careful when every battery charge is full and withdraws it and only uses electricity.

However, another friend who is working as a computer technician advises him to leave the battery intact when plugged in. Even if the unit is full, it should not be removed when the machine is operated by charging.

Many other users are also wondering about this situation. According to Mr. Nguyen Van Hung, a computer repairman in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City, the battery should be run rather than using electricity directly from the charger and only when the battery is completely plugged into the charger. Mr. Hung explained, using electricity to run directly to the laptop will be prone to fire and explosion. Because the external power supply is often unstable. Besides, unexpected power outages happen easily. Technically the main components of the machine are at risk of being touched, resulting in machine failure. Furthermore, if the user is manipulating important information that is not yet saved, the possibility of data loss is entirely possible.

" Do not just charge the battery and operate the device. Just as the battery is full but still plugged in to use it is a must to avoid, " said Vo Van Hau, a longtime laptop repairer in Tan Binh district, HCM City.

In principle, when plugging in the charger for 3 minutes, the battery can charge for about 5 minutes. This difference allows the battery to fill up at a later time. But the thing to note is that just for the machine to operate and charge the battery, it means that the stuffing and discharging of energy takes place continuously. Meanwhile, battery manufacturers recommend using almost all batteries before charging them for full use.

Mr. Hau also affirmed: " Plugging the charger to use a laptop when at home or at work will achieve the maximum efficiency for battery life ". However, he also noted that it should not be too abusive to remove the battery and do not use it for a long time to a month.

Laptop battery construction is quite similar to mobile phone battery. Therefore, less use will help "loss" more. On the other hand, in terms of technology when not in use, the battery will automatically discharge with a very small amount. Therefore, if this phenomenon lasts for 2 to 3 months, the battery will be in a state of inability to charge or if the battery will not be full despite plugging in during 24 hours.

Many people encountered this situation and thought their battery was broken. But actually the cells in the laptop battery after dripping to near-empty ink return to the state they were just produced.

To overcome the user need to use plug and unplug operation continuously until receiving the signal light is charging on the device. Users let the charging system stuffed into the battery for about 8 hours (for 6-cell type). If after this time the battery is still not full, you should take this battery to a reputable repair place to recover the cell. This process is simply the use of a charging device directly into each cell contained in the battery and then inserted it into the old location. By this time the battery will return to normal.

Computer technicians said that to apply the above method, it is best not to leave the battery for more than 3 days.

Fully charge the battery and unplug it and use the device. After the battery is exhausted, plug in the charger. In this way the battery life may be slightly reduced compared to the above method, but the data safety is being manipulated or the risk of electrical explosion is greatly reduced. This is because the battery operated design from the manufacturer will always have a more stable current for all components of the machine. In addition, unexpected power shutdowns are unlikely when most laptops have a low-power battery signal mode.
