HOW TO PROTECT YOUR BATTERY

Laptop batteries come with finite life spans. For instance, the Li-Ion battery will need to be replaced after for 2-4 years under normal working conditions. How can you extend the life of your battery? Is removing the battery and running from a power source a good idea?

The battery ages even if you don’t use it. So, you can’t probably extend its lifespan by simply removing it and running the laptop from a power source. You can, nevertheless, prolong its life by not using it every now and then. Keep the battery in a cool place. Don’t keep the battery in a fully charged or discharged state. The Li-Ion battery should preferably be stored at 40% charge levels. Most battery manufacturers keep them at 15°C and at 40 percent charge. Use your battery at least once in a month. Discharge it completely and then recharge it. Not using the battery for a prolonged period of time may reduce its life.
