Laptop Battery Maintenance

How to charge your new replacement laptop battery?

Your new laptop battery comes in a discharged condition and must be charged before use (refer to your computer manual for charging instructions). Upon initial use (or after a prolonged storage period) the battery may require two to three charge/discharge cycles before achieving maximum capacity.

When charging the laptop battery for the first time your computer may indicate that charging is complete after just 10 or 15 minutes. This is a normal phenomenon with rechargeable batteries. Simply remove the battery from the computer and repeat the charging procedure.

It is important to condition (fully discharge and then fully charge) the laptop battery every two to three weeks. Failure to do so may significantly shorten the battery's life (this does not apply to Li-ion batteries, which do not require conditioning). To discharge, simply run your device under the battery's power until it shuts down or until you get a low battery warning. Then recharge the battery as instructed in your user's manual.

If the laptop battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is recommended that it be removed from the device and stored in a cool, dry, clean place.

It is normal for a laptop battery to become warm during charging and discharging.

A charged laptop battery will eventually lose its charge if unused. It may therefore be necessary to recharge the battery after a storage period.

The milliamp-hour (mAH) rating of the laptop battery dot org batteries will often be higher than the one on your original battery. A higher mAH rating is indicative of a longer lasting (higher capacity) battery and will not cause any incompatibilities. An laptop battery dot org battery will, in most cases, outperform the original by 30% to 50%.

Actual battery run-time depends upon the power demands made by the equipment. In the case of notebook computers, the use of the monitor, the hard drive and other peripherals results in an additional drain upon the battery, effectively reducing the battery's run-time. The total run-time of the battery is also heavily dependent upon the design of the equipment. To ensure maximum performance of the battery, optimize your computer's power management features. Refer to your computer manual for further instructions.

How Can I Maximize My Laptop Battery Performance?

There are several steps you can take to insure that you get maximum performance from your laptop battery:

Breaking In New Batteries - new batteries come in a discharged condition and must be fully charged before use. It is recommended that you fully charge and discharge your new battery two to four times to allow it to reach its maximum rated capacity.

Preventing the Memory Effect - Keep your battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-ion batteries which do not suffer from the memory effect.

Keep Your Batteries Clean - It's a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and your portable device.

Exercise Your Battery - Do not leave your battery dormant for long periods of time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. If a battery has not been used for a long period of time, perform the new battery break in procedure described above.

Battery Storage - If you don't plan on using the battery for a month or more, we recommend storing it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects. Ni-Cd, NiMH and Li-ion batteries will self-discharge during storage; remember to break them in before use. Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries must be kept at full charge during storage. This is usually achieved by using special trickle chargers. If you do not have a trickle charger, do not attempt to store SLA batteries for more than three months.

For Notebook Users - To get maximum performance from your battery, fully optimize the notebook's power management features prior to use. Power management is a trade off: better power conservation in exchange for lesser computer performance. The power management system conserves battery power by setting the processor to run at a slower speed, dimming the screen, spinning down the hard drive when it's not in use and causing the machine to go into sleep mode when inactive. Your notebook user's guide will provide information relating to specific power management features.

laptop battery rebuild

Admit it. Come out of denial. You know your laptop that was supercool 2 years ago now gets 15 minutes of VGP-BPS2A battery life. It sucks and we all share the same problem eventually. Laptop batteries (and many others) will start to lose their total charging capacity after awhile. It's slow so we usually don't notice it until years later. But when it happens, you can't help but go insane. Laptop batteries usually cost a fortune (my 12-inch powerbook VGP-BPS2B battery is like $130). This is why you should take the road less traveled and rebuild your battery.


So what do you have to do? Well it's not too complicated, you just have to basically replace the individual cells inside of the latitude d620 battery casing. Ever have an R/C car and you had to buy those $20 battery packs at Radio Shack for them? Well if you take a close look, it's usually just 6 batteries saran-wrapped together with a proprietary plug. Same goes for these laptop batteries.


Now before we go any further, let me issue a warning. Although most of us think we're invincible, we're not. This is something that could lead to harm if you don't follow everything directly. If you're new to hacking apart electronics and what not, don't proceed. Have a specialist help you. We're not responsible for anything that may happen, mkay? Kay.


Allright so let's get started. Take your fork out of the electrical socket for a moment and check it.
Remove your vgp-bps2c battery from your laptop. Try to get it drained all the way if you can. Look at the label on your battery. Somewhere near the warning where it says 'Don't do this, don't do that'blah blah blah' you should see a model number for the battery pack. Probably something along the lines of 'Lithium Ion Battery Pack No.' Pry off the cover of your vgp-bpl5a battery pack like so.


....which will reveal something like below.


Individual cells.


If you have a powerbook like me, it'll look like this:


So. Now we've got a bunch of cells. Cute. Find the part number for them. As you can see in the pic above the powerbook pavilion dv9000 battery, the number is printed directly on the wrapping. In this case it's CGP345010. Ok great. What's that mean? Google it and see. Ahhh! It's made by Panasonic. Wonderful. Now we have to go get replacements. If there's 6 cells, you'll obviously need 6 new ones. Try this website for ordering them.


Get out your xacto knife, wire cutters, etc. for this. You'll need to carefully remove all the cells. Each battery pack is different so we can't say how it'll work out for you. Just be careful and don't throw away the old ones.


Take out all the l contacts etc. until you have yourself a blank thinkpad t42 battery tray.


Chances are your battery cells will come with wires on there for connecting it to something. No. We don't want these. We need this to lay in the tray! Remove your black and red wires but keep any others left. It's usually to keep them from short-circuiting. Next, take any coating and tops off your old batteries and move them carefully onto the new ones. After you're done, you should have naked old batteries, and new thinkpad x61 battery that look like the old ones.


Next, you need to get contact going. Obviously using l. You can either solder them together properly with a l strip on the front, or just try positioning the l correctly inside the case with the cells. I did the 2nd method and it worked for me after some tinkering around.


Almost there. Put everything back together like it was and make sure you check out your finished product with a multimeter to make sure there's a current. If all is well, throw it all back together and then into your laptop. Charge it up completely without using it and voila. You my friend, are set.


Much thanks to electronics lab, and reader [surfer] for the tips and pics! In my opinion, the PowerBook laptop battery is much easier, but don't let that stop you! Just take care!
