Have you ever noticed that when you buy a laptop, the battery life time will be around 4 hours, then after three to four months the battery life will be 2 hours, and after using the laptop for two hours you have to recharge your battery. Here is a way to increase your battery life.
When you first unbox your new laptop, the first place it belongs (after installing the battery) is connected to an AC outlet. Even if the battery indicator shows a full or near full charge, it is a good idea to keep the unit plugged in for a minimum of 5-7 hours. After this initial and absolute full charge, unplug it and have your way with it! Drain that battery until you “force it to shut down” (save your work upon the low battery alert). Then proceed to charge it up again to 100% (this time just charge it to “full”). Go ahead and repeat the drain to zero. After 3 full charge and discharge cycles, your battery is ready for the road.
This process does 2 things. First off, it breaks in your new battery right. Second it calibrates it with your computer to give you a more accurate measurement of charge status from the software’s indicator. Over time your battery will slip away from calibration, so it is suggested that you repeat one “full charge” and “discharge” every 3 months.
Also I want to prefer that don’t plug-in while using the laptop if the battery is charged.
