Since my Dell laptop is now already over three years in operation and the battery in his old age had to wear one of nearly 50 percent was from mobility now no longer really talk to. So needed a new Dell Inspiron 6400 battery.
What’s to be?
One should not let the rather high price to buy the original battery lead from inferior copies. The built-in Li-ion cells in the reproductions are often of poor quality, as well as the general condition of the Dell Inspiron 1520 battery. It threatens to wear faster and in rare cases, the replacement battery explosion.
For these reasons I have decided on an original battery for about 120 € from IPC computer.
Battery Calibration
In the Dell Latitude E6400 battery calibration of certain steps must be followed to reduce the maximum capacity of the new hardware is not permanent.
Acer notebooks are the steps as follows:
Insert the new battery into the notebook does not turn on this!
Connect the power adapter until the Dell Vostro 1520 battery is fully charged – to recognize the status LED on the notebook
Disconnect power supply
Switching on the notebook and use it with battery power, do not connect the AC adapter!
Battery consumption so far until the Dell Inspiron 1720 battery low warning appears
Connect the power adapter and fully charge the battery
These steps are repeated three times, then the conditioning of the battery completed and a maximum charge capacity is assured.
