Guidelines for Proper Laptop Battery Usage
1. Avoid using the battery while it's charging.
This is the primary reason behind battery 'wear out'. When you use the laptop while it's charging (especially when the battery is not fully charged), it charges and discharges simultaneously, leading to battery 'wear out'. Most laptops nowadays automatically stop charging when the battery is full. So, if you're using the battery, use it solely on battery power. If you need to charge the battery, turn off the laptop, charge it fully, and then resume usage.
2. Avoid letting the battery drain frequently.
You shouldn't let your battery drain completely to 0%, causing the laptop to shut down automatically. When the battery reaches around 10%, it's advisable to turn off the laptop and recharge it to full capacity.
3. Keep the battery at a cool temperature
Many people have the habit of using their laptops on blankets. This makes it difficult for the laptop to dissipate heat, leading to overheating and deterioration of the battery. In fact, there have been many incidents of laptops catching fire due to prolonged use on blankets.
Additionally, you can use the CPUID HWMonitor software to check the current status of your battery (if you haven't already, you can download the latest version of CPUID HWMonitor).
After installing and opening the software, you'll see the interface as follows:
Pay attention to the Battery section.
- Designed Capacity: Your original battery capacity, measured in Wh
- Full Charge Capacity: Your current battery capacity.
- Wear Level: Indicates the 'wear out' level of your battery (in the image, the wear level is 12%).
With these insights from Mytour, you'll learn how to use your laptop battery correctly and efficiently. Proper laptop battery usage will prolong its lifespan, prevent damage, and ensure stable and efficient laptop performance.
