Apple A1189 battery news:

Many notebook users upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows XP / Vista discovered, the new system severely shorten the Apple M4685 battery life.

Official Microsoft TechNet forums, there are users post and said he put himself in 2007 bought an HP laptop to upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7, but the  Laptop battery life but never became a mere two hours, half an hour, but Microsoft is repeatedly promote the new system which can significantly extend the Apple Powerbook G3 battery life time. Other parts of the web forum had a similar question.

It is reported that Windows 7 is the root of the problem and adds a new battery testing tool that can determine whether the battery needs to be replaced and inform the user, but in some cases, even though the Dell Studio 1436 battery business is as usual, the system will judge whether the error that the battery has been exhausted, and recommended that users immediately replaced, and sometimes even directly shut down the system. Some users reflect the frustration that he did you are prompted to replace the old battery, but the new battery or continue to receive the same warning.

Some people say that this issue as early as Windows 7 Beta testing phase existed, but some say that the official version of RTM where phenomena which was Posted by a user and he said: “In the RTM version of Windows 7 prior to installing the Dell Studio 1435 battery, I have been normal, in my installation of all the Beta and RC versions where can persist for nearly three hours. Now, only had about 20 Windows 7 minutes to put my notebook shut. This situation is in my shift from the RC occur when the RTM. Needless to say, I have a very bad mood like everyone else. ”

Microsoft said in a statement that the problem has been known and noted, and Windows 7 read the way the system firmware in many different types of notebook manufacturers are present. Microsoft said: “We are working with hardware partners to investigate this issue. Windows 7 with firmware information to determine whether the Dell Studio 14 battery needs to be replaced. We are working with partners to find root of the problem, to obtain the necessary information and guidance and then go in (TechNet) Forum Update. ”

Microsoft also claimed that sometimes the new tool is working correctly, in other words, if it prompts you to replace the Asus N10J battery, it is possible your battery really has to be hung, but the chances of false positives is clearly too high.

As far as it is known to every laptop fans, the original laptop battery is much dearer than the OEM. Sometimes you might be cheated and buy an OEM laptop battery at the original price.

The OEM laptop batteries are mainly composed of three parts: battery cells, PCB and the crust.

whether the laptop battery life is perdurable or not mainly depend on the battery cells, In this case, once ordering original notebook batteries, you must verify the information that whether the cells is in good quality or not, as far as we know, the battery cells plays an important part in laptop battery life.  And of course the good quality battery cell quality is much better and have good talented,

On the other hand, the hardware works to prevent the explosion.  Once an exploding happens, everyone around the laptop will be extremely dangerous. if the battery cells is defective , it is better not to use. After all safety will be the most important factor.

The last one factor will be insulation material, which is absolutely very important. For any situation that the insulation material fails to work normally, the circuit might be shorted, drawing a lot of current. In this situation once the material is too defective, the protection circuit can not run as well. A fire accident might be caused by this, and even the exploding happened once the battery is heated. It is very very dangerous

Another important thing will be the manufactured procedure, the laptop battery supplier should make it work with the original laptop, determining that whether there is compatible problem and other faulty issue.

Of course, it will be undoubted that it will be safe when the laptop battery has passed the CE, UL, Rohs and other certifications.

Have you ever been confused of short laptop battery life?
Have your new laptop battery could not reached to its standard capacity even when fully charged?
Have your ever thought of an idea of enlarging your laptop battery?
Do you know what you should do when the new laptop battery is in your hand?
Do you know the tips of how to Maintening your battery?

The following tips could help you:

Usage Tips：
If you find yourself with no electrical adapter or power source and need your laptop battery to operate for as long as possible, here are a few tips you can try when your notebook computer is in battery mode:
1. Use the notebook’s power management system
In Microsoft Windows the “Power Options” power management application can be found inside the Control Panel. In the Power Options Properties tab select the “Portable/Laptop” power scheme. Many notebook manufactories also provide their own custom power management applications, which help to optimize power usage and extend battery time.
2. Turn down the display brightness
You can lower the LCD brightness level to use less energy. In fact a lower brightness level also strains the eyes less and causes less fatigue.
3. Close any unused applications
Applications are a burden on the system and require energy to run. Closing any unused applications will reduce that burden and any energy consumption down the line.
4. Remove any unused PC Cards or USB devices from your notebook
These devices require energy even when they sit idle, so removing them can help to extend your notebook’s battery time.
5. Disable Wireless LAN or Bluetooth network adapter when not in use
Ditto for the Wireless LAN or Bluetooth network adapters.
6. Increase system memory
Your computer stores data for use by the CPU in system memory or as virtual memory in the hard drive. Increasing system memory helps to reduce the system’s reliance on the hard drive, which uses more energy than system memory.
7. Reduce unnecessary optical drive operation/activity
Avoid activities that require your optical drive to operate constantly, such as listening to CDs.
8. Avoid graphics intensive applications
The notebook system will run in a high performance settings when using these applications, causing the battery to run down at a very quick rate.

Let us also take a look at the Maintenance Tips：
Almost all notebooks today utilize rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries. Lithium Ion provides many benefits over earlier Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) or Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) Batteries, including less mass, better performance, and insusceptibility to the so-called “memory effect”. Despite these benefits you can maximize your battery’s lifespan by following these maintenance tips:
1. New batteries must be fully charged before use
To put your battery in optimum condition for long-term usage, please fully charge the battery before its first use. Very importantly as well, for the first 3 charge cycles, always fully charge before use and fully discharge before recharging.
2. Calibrate the battery every few months
Almost all laptop batteries are created with an internal microprocessor, which provides an estimate of battery conditions such as number of charges, discharges, full charge capacity and cycle charge count. The full charge capacity will become a little inaccurate after a few months and calibrating it can help restore the battery’s performance.
Some notebooks provide calibration tools in the BIOS or a Windows application. If your notebook provides either of them, you can follow these three steps prior to calibration:
1. Plug in your notebook’s power adapter and fully charge your battery.
2. When your battery is fully charged, disconnect the power adapter and use your notebook in battery mode. Disable all battery warning operations in Power Options Properties such as Shut down, Stand-by or Hibernation. When the remaining power is 3%, close all running application and allow the notebook to shut itself down.
3. Plug your power adapter in and fully charge your battery. Your battery has been sufficiently drained for calibration.
3. Use your battery in the proper conditions
Generally speaking, batteries work best at around 68°F (20°C), but temperatures between 32° to 95°F (0° to 35°C) will allow a battery to works in good condition too. Allowing your battery to work in conditions that are too hot or cold can lower its performance. It may also have a negative influence on the battery’s lifespan as well.
4. Store your battery in the proper conditions when not in use
If you don’t plan to use your notebook for a month or more, we recommend the battery be stored separately in a clean, dry and cool place. Please also ensure that the battery has about a 70% charge remaining. During storage the battery will perform a slow self-discharge, so we do not recommend storing it for a very long time (3 months or more), because it can impact the wellbeing of the battery.
Other Information：
Higher capacity battery or spare batteries
Some notebooks may be offered with an option on a higher capacity battery, which may also be offered as a separate purchase. You can take advantage of both to extend your notebook’s unplugged time.
Replace the battery
A battery that has been cared for properly should provide at least 300 full charge and discharge cycles. You can choose to purchase a replacement battery when your original battery longer is no longer able to serve you properly. The main symptom of this is a much shorter runtime even after calibration.
Battery recycling
Please do not dispose of old laptop battery in the rubbish bin as they can pollute the environment. Batteries should be recycled or collected for safe disposal through your local municipal or commercial programs.

Do you know what is the Li-ion battery?

In fact, the li-ion battery is being used for the power of the electronic products like laptop battery, camera battery, PDA battery, camcorder battery, mp3 battery, mp4, watch, and so on.

Lithium-ion batteries which is sometimes abbreviated as Li-ion batteries are a type of rechargeable batteries in which lithium ions move from the negative electrode (anode) to the positive electrode (cathode) during the discharging period, and from the cathode to the anode during the charging period.

Nowadays Lithium-ion batteries are very common in portable consumer electronics because of their excellent features- high energy-to-weight ratios, lack of memory effect, and slow self-discharge when not in use. In addition to consumer electronics, lithium-ion batteries are increasingly used in defense, automotive, and aerospace applications due to their high energy density. However, certain kinds of mistreatment may cause conventional Li-ion batteries to explode.

Let us take a look at the physical characters of its material.

The three primary functional components of a lithium-ion battery are the anode, cathode, and electrolyte, for which a variety of materials may be used. Commercially, the most popular material for the anode is graphite. The cathode is generally one of three materials: a layered oxide (such as lithium cobalt oxide), one based on a polyanion (such as lithium iron phosphate), or a spinel (such as lithium manganese oxide), although materials such as TiS2 (titanium disulfide) originally were also used. Depending on the choice of material for the anode, cathode, and electrolyte, the voltage, capacity, life, and safety of a lithium-ion battery can change dramatically.

In the coming days, novel architectures have been employed to improve the performance of these batteries.

Do you know the difference between the li-ion battery and li battery?

The point will be listed as:

Lithium-ion batteries are not to be confused with lithium batteries, the key difference being that lithium batteries are primary batteries, containing metallic lithium, while lithium-ion batteries are secondary batteries, containing an intercalation anode material.

In the current society, there are so many laptop battery in the markets, how to choose a good laptop battery for your notebook?

Here lists the sharing, hope this information could help.

 

1.   The packages.

1).   Take a look at the brands. Neutral non-branded packaging products could easily lead to inferior products or to buy second-hand and refurbished products;

2).   Take a look at the anti-static sealed bag, lined with anti-static sponge, etc. these are the basic configuration to protect your laptop batteries;

3).   Take a look whether there are bar codes or not. Barcode is the international product unified management standard recognized by the authority of identity.

 

2. The appearance

1).   Are there any scratches or obsolete sense? If yes, you might have already bought second-hand refurbished battery;
2).   Are there clear parameters, performance, model identification and approvals?
3).   Make sure whether the upper and lower seams in the battery have ever been opened or not

 

3. The price

Is there a unified price of identity?  If the offer is not so clear, you are recommended not to order, especially for original battery.

 

4. The guarantee

There must be a formal commitment to guarantee and after sales for the decent laptop battery with high quality.
  A professional laptop batteries company is always guaranteed to provide one year warranty. If there is no such commitment, the quality of batteries maybe is not so good.

In the markets, some companies declare to their clients that they are using the A-grade material cell. But in fact they keeps correcting the old cells of waste laptop battery and reproduce into the new laptop battery, which does do harm to your laptop battery.

 As the laptop battery life and after-sales warranty are two important factors for your consideration, in this case, we could not buy the laptop battery, just considering for the one-time price.    We must look into both of these two. For example ,to buy a 6-month warranty battery, the price might be USD 65;  to buy a one-year warranty battery, the price is USD 79. From the data it is clear that the former is much dearer.

 The total cost of those.

On the other hand, let’s distinguish the difference of the Warranty between the good and the bad battery:

 
(1).  In general, genuine laptop battery can be guaranteed to provide at least one year warranty.

(2).  for battery for six months or three months Warranty, because their manufactures used relatively inexpensive materials, omitted critical testing procedures, no complete incoming data for material, process, shipping detection, control processes and equipment, therefore, they have to make vague commitment to guarantee for three months or six months.

(3).  For the promised one-year warranty, how to distinguish between genuine and fake ?

A. to see if there is a clear quality assurance, and the specific provisions made in writing to the customer’s.

B. Are there formal Qualification?

C. Take a look at their shipping areas. Most of the decent battery company have their markets all over the world.

(4). A company can only produce one product. Therefore, if an enterprise can provide warranty 3 months, six months, one year products, it is likely that there might be a fake commitment to quality.

Because there is a lot of huge difference between three-month warranty battery and one year warranty in the procurement, quality control, technology. Especially for the quality control systems, they are completely different.

 Most of clients complain their bad one year warranty laptop battery in the internet.  It is likely that when they buy a year product warranty, but they just get a three-month warranty battery. The point is that Many customers just pay more money.
