Laptop battery purchase attention

We often see the 50$ original Dell laptop battery or Apple battery in Ebay. We are also asked about that : your battery is a original battery or not. You should realize that : the battery with the original Brand logo maybe not the original battery.

According to my 5-6 years market experience of laptop battery industry , http://www.battery4.us share some battery purchase note with you.

1. Now the laptop battery market is confusedly. Many low-cost “original” laptop batteries flooded the market. Most of these batteries are the original renovation battery (using a low-quality cells); the same pack with the original battery, no protection battery quality; Some of it is a true original stock battery, but most of them are produced for a long time (even more than two years).

The battery performance greatly reduced, as we all knows laptop battery is a consumable items, lose the performance even in stock; And there is no real brand new original laptop battery in the market, because battery manufacturers will be asked to produce the detail terms number battery by laptop manufacture, according to the amount of customized. The original laptop battery has an official one-year warranty, the market prices are mostly in the $150-200.

2. We all know, the lowest-cost maintenance approach to repair laptop battery (as Lifebook T4220 battery ) is replace the cells. Note that this is the least, sometimes you may have to replace protection board. A good imported batteries cell such as Sanyo, Sony, Samsung and other brands are 5.0$ or more in the market, high-capacity of 6$. Replaceme a 6-cell battery will takes about 35$ dollars or more.

Therefore, we can estimate the original laptop battery Price: 6 cell + battery protection board + enclosure + test fee + R & D costs + packaging + transportation + labor costs + a series of warranty after-sales and other costs, original laptop battery ex-factory price at least 60$, so You should carefully select these 40-50$ “original” Toshiba laptop battery in the market .

3. The main difference between High-quality and low-quality laptop battery Cells

I make the laptop battery as example to explain the diffenence for everyone. There are three kinds laptop battery in the market as following:

1. An original laptop batteries, good quality, need not any evaluation.
2. The famous brand laptop batteries like http://www.battery4.us, high quality and excellent price (the people’s favorite kind laptop batteries).
3. Waste batteries and “original batteries” gave as a gift when buying laptop, usually only stand 2 hours or less. Because these two kinds batteries capacity failed to reach the nominal capacity of standby time. So it is the worst laptop battery (Dell Inspiron 6000 Battery).
4. The replacement battery between 60$-100$ in the market. The battery can standby for 3-4 hours as original battery. But after used abour 10-12 months. The battery capacity reduced a lot or even scrapped. Although it can achieve the nominal capacity and the same standby time as original battery. But the other properties of the battery such as the battery charge and discharge times, the battery anti-aging properties simply can not up to standard. So it can only use 10-12 months.

Most of the 3-6 warranty months warrany “Original battery” and “OEM Dell XPS M140 Battery ” on the market are made of neutral batteries: It achieve the use of nominal time, but it is difficult to achieve the standard charge and discharge times, battery aging fast, average life between 3-6 months. (so they can only guarantee the battery up to six months).

In the end if you want to buy the high quality cheap price battery, just buy the 1 year warranty battery replacement in http://www.battery4.us/. Do not buy the “6 month or less warranty Original battery” in Ebay. As I know I saw many “original sony VGP-BPS8 VGP-BPS9 battery” in Ebay.

Make your laptop battery last longer in some daily habits

1. Use the lowest brightness settings on screen displays.

This will not work in bright areas like out doors, but sure works well indoors. Cell phones, lap-tops, and even watches have brightness controls that will help stretch the life of any laptop battery.

2. Fully charge and discharge all of your batteries.

Try to avoid “topping off” the battery if there’s enough of a charge in there to get by, then remove the battery or unplug from the charger only after it has had a chance to trickle charge at 100%, and your Sony NP-BG1, Canon BP-511, Kodak KLIC-5001 battery will last 2 or 3 years easily.

3. Use programs that take less RAM and keep useless programs closed.

A lot of laptops come with cluttered programs since the day you take them home from the store. Stuff like Yahoo messenger or Firefox with 20 tabs open takes a lot of RAM and eats up batteries super fast.

4. Keeping the volume level on all of your music playing devices is key to a longer Latitude D620 battery life.

You’ll be amazed at how much life loud music sucks out of your battery. This will also do wonders in preserving your ear-drums as well.

5. To go with #4, also turn down the volume on your cell-phone ringer.

Long ring-tones may sound cool, but hearing your favorite song play every time your phone rings will drain your Dell inspiron 6400 battery in a hurry.

6. Turn off your Bluetooth whenever you’re not using it.

This can be an easy one to forget about if you’re often switching between using a Bluetooth, and the phone’s ear piece. Most people use their Bluetooth way too much anyhow, so cutting back on it’s use will lengthen the life of your Dell Inspiron B130 battery.

7. I’ve always heard that when you get a new laptop, or anything with a rechargeable battery for that matter, you should charge it over night.

Pull that bad boy out of the box and give it a nice, long, healthy charge. Even if it says full, leave it in and charging for a while.

8. When I was little I would always find VGP-BPS2C VGP-BPS2 batteries in my grandmother’s fridge.

I always wondered why, turns out she was onto something. If you have extra batteries for your phone, laptop, or anything else, go ahead and store those in the refrigerator. Just make sure not to freeze 40Y7001 40Y7003.

9. Programs that are run from a CD or DVD can be copied to and run from the hard drive, which typically consumes less power than an optical drive.

If you have music and movies you know know you’ll be playing numerous times, just rip them onto your hard drive and you’ll be styled!

10. Lastly, just using basic common sense will help extend the life of all of your Dell KD476 Dell Inspiron e1505 Battery.

If you’re not using it, turn it off! If you don’t need it, get rid of it! This is probably the most practical and applicable way to get the most out of all of your batteries.
