Extend laptop battery life
by admin on Aug.31, 2010, under battery tips
We prefer laptop to PC most for portable office work, the laptop battery is the most important part of the laptop working.So we must take a high attention to the laptop battery life.
We say the laptop battery life is not the laptop battery working time, but the battery working time determine the laptop battery life. Also the laptop battery life means that the using time (charge-discharge cycle of the battery). Generally this number always between 400-600 cycles. So we can prolong the charge and discharge rate to extend the battery life. That means you must try your best to extend the laptop battery working time. Also we can hack and revive the “dead laptop battery” to extend the laptop battery charge-discharge cycle.
As we all know, usually the 6 cell capacity laptop battery are only can last work for 2-3 hours in natural working. So we can extend the laptop working time by using the following tips:
Use high capacity battery : You can choise the higher capacity battery for longer working time. The inspiron 1300 battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a larger battery.
Only run what you need. Keeping programs running in the background will require more system resources, and use more of the precious laptop battery juice. There’s a reason that some programs load slower than others, and that’s because they need more system resources. Try to keep as few programs as possible open, and avoid programs that slow your computer down even at the best of times.
Dim the Lights :
Turn down the brightness of the LCD panel (via the Function-key combo, or in the Control Panel’s Display Settings dialog) to the lowest level you can tolerate. The backlight sucks power like the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree.
Charge and discharge : For lithium ion XPS M1210 batteries, you do not need to discharge them fully and recharge constantly. Since they don’t have the same “memory” as older nickel-metal hydride batteries, it is actually better to discharge a lithium ion only partially before recharging. You need to do a full discharge only about every 30 charges.
Be careful with the external peripherals too. Unplug USB devices, PCMCIA devices and any other crazy things you’ve got plugged in if possible. as your system uses power to interact with them.
Run your laptop in less performance : the more performance of laptop, the more power expend.
Take out your battery : Consider removing the inspiron 6000 battery from a laptop when running on fixed power.
Carefully maintain your battery : keep your battery in dry clean and cool place. Wet and dirty can erode your laptop battery. Avoid propping your laptop on a pillow, blanket, or other soft surface that can heat up. Your battery is a lot less efficient when not within its standard operating temperature range.
Revive dead laptop battery : continue use dead battery by using some methods to activation them.

In fact, how to make good use of laptop batteries battery, how to extend their use of time and the use of life issues, no doubt troubled by the majority of notebook users a heart problem, laptop computer batteries and use a variety of techniques, which requires us to usually use more learning and application.I got my Dell D5318 Laptop Battery as an example.
(A) fast into hibernation
Temporarily use the notebook computer, to save HP 346970-001 battery power, we can Shezhidianyuan management that allows system over time into hibernation Danzhe or long or short Duyaodengshang a few minutes, there any way the notebook computer system immediately enter the sleep state?
Notebook computer system to quickly into hibernation for a simple method is to directly turn off the display. Press the display is just little things, you can make notebook computers into hibernation immediately and effectively conserve battery energy. When you need to re-use it, simply open the display, the system will automatically return to operation as before.
(B)Screen saving method
TFT screen is the largest notebook computer power components, in order to reduce its use of the battery when the power consumption, notebook manufacturers have different tactics, but in general are based on the lower screen brightness, or even turn off the screen method.
In some notebook power management settings can customize the brightness of the screen, most laptops can be adjusted by a specific shortcut screen brightness, generally 6 to 8 level brightness adjustment.
(C)Alarm settings
Set your Sony PCGA-BP2NY Laptop Battery alarm in time to prompt the user to save the information. By clicking open the “Control Panel”, double-click “Power” menu, click on “Alert” menu bar “-battery alarm” bar Windows 98 default is 10%, “a serious shortage of battery alarm” bar Windows 98 default is 3% can make the appropriate modifications as needed. Click both the [alarm response] button, the “Sound Alarm” and “displays the message” is selected, the “power level” may from time to choose. Alarm limits so that when the battery is used, it will pop up a warning window, and the alarm buzzer sound to prompt the user to save information in a timely manner. Finally click [OK] button to exit the power management settings.
(D)Energy-saving features turned
In the “extended laptop battery technology” section, we have introduced, a CPU energy saving feature is the use of technology, it can make the performance of notebooks and its battery life to play to achieve the best balance between.
Most new models of notebook computers are on the CPU in the BIOS in the energy-saving technologies to support, is enabled by default, if not open as long as the option to enter the BIOS will support the open on OK.
(E)Deliberately used up battery
Run out of battery on a regular basis to ensure a full charge however your laptop is Dell Inspiron 710M Laptop Battery or not. If you need to completely run out of battery power in the specific practice: the Power Management dialog box, select the Battery Drain power of this particular model to all three Running on Batteries options are set to Never, this notebook is the computer on will continue to run.
Select the mode, and then enter the Alarms tab, remove the Low Battery and Critical Battery Warning check box in the check mark (so that when the battery power is low, the machine will not enter the suspended state). Next, let the computer run a lot occupied by the Ren Wu CPU time, such as computer automatically run a number of calculations Fuza the 3D demo program, it will run out of Dianchi Henkuai remaining power, Dangran Jinxingzhexie disposal, do not forget to unplug the AC plug.
Sony expanded the territory of the world’s new energy battery
by eva on Jul.30, 2010, under Battery news, laptop battery
It is said that IEA (International Energy Agency) data released on Monday show that last year China surpassed the U.S. as the world’s largest consumers of energy. Many people will think this again indicates that the new energy era.
As the world’s lithium-ion battery commercial originator, the battery business in the consumer electronics giant Sony that braved halo has not Visible in the group.
Until November 2009 Sony released the medium-term strategy, the status of the battery business to be completely reversed. The new energy strategy through the upper, Sony battery business from behind the scenes to the front, from the edge towards the core, jump with 3D electronic products, network services group alongside one of the three major engines of growth. China in 2010, including new strategic emerging industries, including energy policy for the first time into the “two sessions” in the government work report, Sony will expand the world’s new energy battery sights on the territory of China. Recently, Sony’s chairman and president of the energy components Shinichi species Mao accepted the “China Electronics News” reporter’s interview, for the first time the Chinese media described Sony’s new energy.
we all know that the Solar Energy have been used in laptop battery charging.
Before the release of medium-term strategy, the battery in the consumer electronics giant halo withstand the Sony Group, and the image sensor as playing a supporting role. “Intel chips is a special case, we certainly hope that one day Sony’s battery can be as widely known as Intel.” Kind of a Mao-Shen said.
As a supporting role, much less well-known Sony batteries WALKMAN, laptops and digital cameras and other consumer electronics end products as high. In fact, behind the scenery of these products can not be separated battery business quietly support. Back in June 1991, Sony achieved the first in the global commercialization of lithium ion batteries, Sony’s cameras and other products since then bid farewell to nickel-cadmium batteries, competitive shoot.
Sony acknowledged that its battery business is mainly B2B, in the Chinese market far less well-known Sony TVs, laptop computers, digital cameras. In the battery business, Sony eager to attract industry chain manufacturers in China-related concerns.

New Lithium batteries which can last for 20 years
by eva on Jul.26, 2010, under Battery news
New Lithium batteries which can last for 20 years———origin for Japanese research and development.

battery
Not long before,Japan Eamex researchers said the company has successfully developed a technology can greatly improve the life of lithium batteries. It is understood that this new technology can save time tin elements intact inside the battery, even after repeated lithium battery discharge and charge, its still a very long service life. Tin coating resin
absorption by more than the battery in the tin and the electrode structure can be more stable, lithium batteries can be used continuously for 20 years.
It is said that this new type of lithium battery can support 1 million full charge, rechargeable battery than the current number of 10 times, even the current laptop battery can not match. For example, the Apple MacBook or MacBook Pro is expected to have laptop battery can support about 1000, that is, the repeated charge of about 5 years, ordinary laptop battery can only support about 300 re-charge.
A few years ago,it also said that Sony company is also have taken measures to the battery’s research and development.it also took a great success.they have successfully make it come true.the battery is a new and environmentally friendly battery samples.which they do their best to do is to make it into use of Sony laptop battery,IBM laptop battery or any other Well-known brands.
Now,along with hidding quality laptop battery problem more and more serious.many company did their best to research and development.they all wish to successfully produce a new battery to replace it now.
New energy resources’ competition
by eva on Jul.22, 2010, under electronics news

new energy congress
Competition between West and China is often couched in terms of a zero-sum game — China ‘takes’ the manufacturing business in products like toys or clothes that the West can no longer do economically. But in other areas, China, the United States and Europe are competing in newer industries where the field is wide open. This poses new challenges for all sides. Green technologies like solar panels and wind turbines offer a glimpse into how this competition is shaping up.which is reported by thomas hout on Wall Street Journal.
we all know that the new energy resources have been used in many industy.In my opinion,with the new energy times coming,there will bring a promising future for development of the battery industry,whether it is in battery-operated car or e-bike,the product used electricity will be more.and many battery tech have many experience in computer and mobile.
many people expected the industry can make more mature tech.
Not long ago,on the SINOCES,many company had exhibited some product about solar eneger,such as,the international company SenFu exhibited the solar waist pack,Solar camera bag,Laptop bag(which can provied battery for laoptop) and so on.
As a businessman,we most care is that the laptop battery,so if we have an solar battery,what a beatiful thing!but it still have long way to make it popularity.Not only the tech,But also the price.
Now many company will pump money into the development of the new product.

Customer Review
“I bought a second laptop battery as I am often at client sites and need the time 2 batteries will give me. The original battery (18 mos old) is starting to show some signs of reduced life. The backup (1 year old) still gives me 2-3 hours. I make it a point to unplug my machine and cycle the batteries a couple of time a week. There is no faster way to kill a battery than to leave it plugged “for 99.5% of the time” as some of the reviewers admit doing. I learned that lesson on previous machines. There’s nothing wrong with either of Pavilion DV2000 batteries pavilion DV6000 battery I have – I am very satisfied. I think the problem with the other reviews is user error. BTW – you should expect to replace the battery every 18 months – shorter if you abuse it by leaving it plugged in. I’ve been using laptops exclusively since 1995 and I have never had a battery that didn’t completely die within 2 years. That’s just how they work. Cycle the battery all the way to 0 at least once a week. That will give you the maximum life from it. These are no worse than any other battery.”
“I have had my dv9000 laptop for 2 years, this past December. So that is roughly 26 months now and I leave my laptop battery in my computer ALL the time and it still runs. It all depends on what power setting I am using. On high performance, the battery will still last about 45 min to an hour and on power saver it will last roughly 2-2 1/2 hours. I try to take care of my computer, but it has over heated on numerous occasions (all my fault for not using a cooling pad) and the battery is still going. (Wish HP had better design to cool the laptops) To bad the replacement batteries are so expensive.”
“My business partner bought the Pavillion DV9000 battery as more useful office computers for the company in 2004. The HP laptops have been wonderful. The first battery that came with the laptop lasted about two years. The second about 18 months. The third barely made it through a year. I have had to park the laptop because it is eating up our media budget. The other laptop does not use batteries as quickly, but it is not used as often. No, the laptop does not stay plugged in all the time. It stays in its case, battery in a separate compartment. I was told that is the best way to store the laptop. So today, I am finally ordering battery number 4. At these battery replacement prices, we may have to go back to another brand, which I liked much less. What a shame.”
“Both the original battery and a replacement spare battery only lasted about 1 year before reduced run time made them only useful for moving from one AC outlet to another. I’m ordering another with hopes that the battery has been improved. I think my mistake has been to leave the battery in the computer and on AC most of the time. HP should have software on the computer to prevent destruction of the battery due to overcharging.”
Hopes that help you. Via laptop battery blog
Google Plans New Solar Mirror Technology
by Meggie on Jul.02, 2010, under electronics news
Google Plans New Solar Mirror Technology
Google’s Bill Weihl expresses his opinion, “We see a chance to make a difference in the field of renewable energy and energy information that can help bring the world to a lower carbon and more efficient economy.” Google is known for its Internet search engine lenovo thinkpad z60m 2529 battery. Now they want to make inroads into green technology too. They declared in 2007 that they want to invest in clean and green technology and want to do research of their own in the field of alternative energy. Now Google’s engineers are putting their effort and energy into solar technology. We all know that solar power is clean and green fuel. But the cost of solar panels prevents us from utilizing solar energy extensively. Now Google Inc. is trying to come up with its own solar panel with a reduced cost of 25%.
They are developing a new mirror technology for cheaper solar power. Weihl confirms, “Typically what we’re seeing is $2.50 to $4 a watt (for) capital cost. So a 250 megawatt installation would be $600 million to a $1 billion. It’s a lot of money.” That amounts to 12 to 18 cents a kilowatt/hour. They are using solar energy to heat up a substance that produces steam. This steam will turn the wheels of turbines. Mirrors will start the whole process by directing the sun’s rays on the substance to heat it up. Bill Weihl reaffirms his company’s commitment, “We’ve been looking at very unusual materials for the mirrors both for the reflective surface as well as the substrate that the mirror is mounted on lenovo ideapad y450 battery.”
Weihl said Google is trying to reduce the cost of making heliostats, the fields of mirrors that have to track the sun, by at least a factor of two, “ideally a factor of three or four.”
Google is trying to develop a feasible technology in a couple of months to show internally. They are also opting for the accelerated testing so that they can find out the impact of decades of wear and tear on the new mirrors while they are installed in desert. Bill Weihl confirms, “We’re not there yet. I’m very hopeful we will have mirrors that are cheaper than what companies in the space are using…”
Google is also going for another technology — gas turbines — that would derive energy from solar power rather than natural gas. This will help Google office to reduce their electricity bill further.
Weihl shares his enthusiasm for future power generation, “In two to three years we could be demonstrating a significant scale pilot system that would generate a lot of power and would be clearly mass manufacturable at a cost that would give us a levelized cost of electricity that would be in the 5 cents or sub 5 cents a kilowatt hour range.”
Google is aiming to make the alternative form of energy cheaper than the energy generated from coal. Earlier Google was investing in other green companies. But later on they decided to develop their own clean and green technology. They discovered that most of the companies lack innovative ideas to replace dependence on fossil fuels. That’s why they are actively involved in coming up with their own new green technology.
First, Google people have put their own house in order. Goggle’s data centers make sure that 300 million web searches take place smoothly. But these searches translate into huge costs as they devour mammoth amount of electricity. Google put his team of intellectuals to come up with more efficient and less power consuming designs. This step reduced the servers’ consumption of energy by half. Google’s Mountain View, California, headquarters installed solar panels producing 1.6 MW of solar energy. Their carefully selected carbon offsets, has helped the company become carbon-neutral. According to Weihl the side effects are quite pleasant, “In the process we’re saving ourselves a lot of money by making ourselves more efficient.”
