Don't believe these kinds of comments. no scientific at all. Today's batteries are different from old days.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. They don't understand modern batteries. Ignore them. When you go on battery, stay on battery until it warns you the battery is low. Go back to plugged in power to 100% charge and you will maintain a good battery health. I use mine all the time as my mobile PC and the battery is doing great with this procedure.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Unfortunately, exact battery run time and life span information is not available. I apologize for any inconvenience. Various factors, such as the temperature of the battery, the applications running on the notebook, any attached devices, the brightness of the display, and the notebook power management settings all determine the run time and life span of your battery. Also, the performance and charge times of Lithium-ion batteries decrease over time. There are suggested ways to help increase the run time and life span of your battery: - Reduce the brightness of the screen to the minimum readable level - Remove peripherals (External hard drives, CD-ROMs, Zip drives, PC cards, and other peripheral devices) when not in use; these devices can draw power from your battery even when they are not in active use - Reduce the speed of your processor - Turn off the Wireless On-Off button when it is not in use (If your notebook has one)
