Dell for Beginners: Battery care

The first thing I instill into NeubesitzerInnen a portable device, is that they should treat their batteries with care.

In the current MacBooks, iPhones, iPods and iPads no lithium-ion and certainly not a nickel-cadmium batteries, but lithium-polymer DELL Latitude D620 batteryare installed. Supposedly, this current memory no longer know the dreaded memory effect. But despite everything, I swear it, only battery completely discharged and only fully charge and most of all my equipment is not permanently leave the mains.

My MacBook succeeded with the first Dell Inspiron 1545 battery to a ripe old age of three years nor reliable three hours (initially there were four), even today I use this battery, alternating with the newly purchased and thus reach more battery life of about two hours.

If a battery shows some weaknesses, helps with the MacBooks, a Dell Inspiron Mini 9 battery calibration. This requires two hours, the battery is fully charged. Then you separate the connection to the power supply and works until I get the message that the Dell Vostro 1510 battery is almost empty. Still working. Important documents should be secured now, of course. The computer falls into the following minutes in a kind of deep sleep. This makes him one. Furthermore, with no connection to the mains. For at least five hours. Then recharge the computer as usual. The DELL Latitude D830 Battery should now get noticeably better performance.

Makes the most sense to you, of course, with the drain overnight. At dinner, for example, in a nearly empty battery run music.

This procedure should be repeated according to Dell, at least every eight weeks.

You might want to leave with a logging before and after the show via program change Coconut Battery.

Left my battery in about four weeks, right akutell.

The respective upper value indicates the current battery level. The average value of the total capacity of the Dell Inspiron 1501 battery. As you can see here, in this improved my battery from 83 to 93 percent.
