The factors affect the dell battery life

Are you face with a lot of  problems  when you use a  laptop battery ?I'm sure you used to .In face ,there are  many factors   can affect the battery life. Such as :  power settings 、temperature、age and so on .

Charging New Batteries

1. If your laptop is brand new, you have an opportunity to maximize your battery’s health from the get-go.  Don’t recharge when the Dell Inspiron 8200 battery is only half drained. Do that for at least the first two sessions.” If you continue to do this every time you use your laptop battery, you will extend the length of time your laptop can run on battery power.

Power Settings

2. One of the main reasons battery life is so short on many laptops is because of the power settings. You can access the power settings on a dell either by right-clicking the Dell Inspiron 8500 battery tray icon in the lower-right corner of your screen and click “Power Options”, or by going to Control Panel > Power Options. Here, you can select the settings your computer will use when it is running on battery power, adjust when the display turns off, choose when the computer will go to sleep, and decide how bright your display is. The default “Power Saver” settings adjust the display brightness to about 40%, turn off the display after 3 minutes of inactivity and put the computer to sleep after 15 minutes. Think about which settings make the most sense for you, and adjust your computer accordingly to save power.

Temperature

3. Extreme temperatures can negatively affect your Dell Inspiron 8600 battery. According to Moses and Nadel, you should not expose your battery to extreme heat or cold. Heat causes batteries to lose their charge very quickly and cold batteries don’t perform as well. In addition, some Sony laptop batteries can detect when they have heated up too much, and will not charge even when the AC power is plugged in. The computer will display “AC power plugged in; battery not charging,” in this case. If this happens, you can charge the battery by shutting down your computer and letting the battery charge while the computer is off.

Age

4. Laptop batteries generally last for 2 to 3 years. If your Dell Inspiron 9100 battery is not holding a charge and it is older than 3 years, consider purchasing a new battery. Remember to fully deplete and fully charge the new battery the first few times you use it.

Still Not Charging

5. If you have considered all of these possible Dell Inspiron 9200 battery problems and find that they are not the reason for the problem, try taking the battery out and gently cleaning the contacts on the battery and in the laptop’s battery compartment with a dry, lint-free cloth. If there is no improvement, you may need to look into updating the computer’s BIOS or using the recovery CD that came with the laptop to clear any internal problems that may be affecting your battery.
