How to Load Batteries in Smartphones and Laptops Properly

In smartphones and notebooks especially lithium -ion batteries are used and to this day there are different opinions about how you should charge them properly. Some are of the opinion that it would be the best equipment constant at 40 - 80 % load, while others think that you should wait until full discharge and then fully charge the batteries should.

This confusion stems from the fact that standard rechargeable batteries (nickel -cadmium abbreviated Ni-Cd) had been frequently employed to sogennten memory effect. These devices had to be completely discharged.

Lithium-ion batteries ( used in smartphones , digital cameras and MP3 players ), however, not have this problem , but again, its battery life is limited to only a few years and so we extended the life of Li -Ion batteries , you have this important advice note .

1 Charge your device regularly

Let unload it in any case to 0 %. It is better to charge them regularly.

2 Do not leave after full charging the device with the charger plug

Li -Ion batteries do not require constant charging to 100%. It is better if your device is in constant range of 40 - 80 % charged. So the most common cause of short battery life is charging up to 100% and let the plug in the phone charger. If you want to charge your batteries overnight, just use chargers with automatic shut-off.

Incidentally usual (not Chinese) notebooks and smartphones today have integrated charge controller, which itself after full charge (some even give appropriate signals) off itself.

3 Once the unit is completely discharged a month - and then recharge up to 100 %.

This statement may at first be a contradiction when you consider what is at the beginning of the article, but I will explain to you all the same. The full discharge-charge cycle is needed once a month to calibrate the device. In general, yes shows your notebook or Smartphone battery life in percent and in hours and minutes. After a large number of Aula endings indicating the battery life is slightly incorrect. That's why it makes sense, one per month to perform the calibration times.

4 avoid overheating

High temperatures adversely affect the life of your battery in the notebook. In the table below you can clearly see the dependence of battery power loss on the temperature in which the unit is located. So you protect your equipment against overheating and possible, do not take your laptop on your lap.

Battery Temperature Power Dissipation @ Avg. Charge 40 - 80% (recommended) power loss at the usual 100 % Charge

0 ° C in 2% 6% in

25 ° C 20 4% in % in

40 ° C 15% in 35% in

60 ° C and 25 % in 40 % in 3 months

Following these remarks will help you extend the battery life. However, do not be too hard on yourself, even if it takes one or two times to fully discharge or is charged to 100 %, it is not so tragic, because we care caring you deal with your battery, Li -Ion batteries can after 2-3 years of use no longer deliver their best performance.
