The battery is one of the major components of your laptop, it is also one of the most expensive and which tends to damage with time. To maintain your battery in good operating condition is important.

The batteries Ion lithium (Li-ion) of the current laptops lose their autonomy mainly due to two main reasons: Firstly the use, secondly the natural aging of the chemical components inside the battery.

Therefore, whatever the precautions which you will take your battery will be worn out with time. It is estimated that on average a battery has a lifespan of between 18 to 24 months.

The tips given here will only delay the expiry:

The first thing to understand in connection with your laptop battery it is that it loses a little its load permanently even if you do not use it.

The higher temperature of the battery is high more quickly it discharges. Thus the first thing to be made is to preserve your battery as fresh as possible. The manufacturers store their battery around the 15°C what they regard as the ideal temperature. On the other hand, cooling it too much (such as placing it inside the refrigerator) will risk damaging it.

The second thing to know it is that your battery decreases a little with each cycle of charge/discharge. When a laptop user leaves his battery in his machine with the power adaptor connected, the battery of will constantly go into a charge/discharge cycle!

A battery which remains utilised inside a laptop discharges a little more quickly than the normal because of the heat released from the computer.

Once that the level of load goes down below a pre-determined level (different for each manufacturer), the adapter reloads the battery until the maximum. As the battery ages this cycle is increasingly short what still accelerates the degradation of its properties.

Therefore, if you do not use your battery, store it out of your laptop in a cool and dry place.
