15 - f004dx: battery life

With my old laptop to windows, I always left it plugged in with the battery installed and killed slow charge/discharge cycle the same battery if we rairly used the laptop off the coast of the plug.  It is this always true with my "new" laptop (I just brought home, but realize it's a low-end computer)?  I know that Mac do not have this problem.  Given the choice, I prefer to leave the battery in the random Quick disconnect and move, but don't want to kill the battery.  Thoughts?

Thank you

Nor / HD was more like 20 years ago and NiCad was like 25-30 years ago. Li - ion is released at the time of Windows 95 and the so-called "memory effect" is more since then, but you hear always prople give advice on how to run a laptop battery based on the chemistry that has not existed for a quarter century. There is no need to 'condition' of a battery for example.

The problem of leaving it plugged to 100% of the time is the chip inside the battery that counts cycles. She can count a discharge up to 95% then the upper part as a cycle, and when you get about 350 cycles the smart chip will actually stopped battery Li - ion batteries with too many cycles is a very low risk of fire.

This effect is a very small problem in real life, because the batteries are smart enough to ignore ranges small charge/discharge that occur when it is permanently connected and does not count it as a cycle. The 'problem' with a laptop plugged in all the time of departure was largely an urban myth with a very low base in fact.

    Hello

    Battery life varies depending on use and other factors.

    During tests, for example, Apple has reached 18 hours of battery life with the next use: 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of usage of the app and a workout of 30 minutes with Apple Watch Bluetooth music playback.

  • Is it true that only charge your iphone at 100% can shorten its battery life?

    Because some say it may decrease the battery life if you always or often recharge your iphone to 100%. They said that it is better not to load it 100%, and some have said it's ok to charge your phone to 100%.

    your phone/ipad/computer laptop/ipod is designed to be loaded until it reaches capacity. That's what it is designed by engineers. Then no.

  • 5s short battery life iPhone, phone like new 6 months.

    I bought my iPhone about 6 months ago. I have problems with the battery life. I plug all night. Unplug in the morning and about 4 hours he spends 100% to 40%, even without me using the telephone. I thought to buy a new battery from Amazon and change myself. I found videos on YouTube showing how do, and it seems very easy to do. Someone out there chaned their own battery before? Was it easy to do? And your phone has worked for you once you have changed your battery yourself?

    Just thought I ask. I am one of these people if it's something I can do for my part, I do. Does anyone has an entry on the situation before I try this on my own?

    Hello

    The battery on the iPhone is not replaceable by the user. The battery - if that is the real problem - is covered by the limited warranty of one year of Apple.  If the iPhone is out of warranty, Apple also offers a service of the battery. The cost for this varies across countries (currently $79 in the United States, for example).

    However, as a first step, I suggest that you try to solve the problem of life battery. You can, for example, to consider measures such as:

    If the problem persists, I suggest you contact Apple technical support or make a Genius Bar reservation for assistance in identifying / confirming the issue and, if necessary, to set up your service from the available battery options, time and cost.

    To check your warranty status:

  • 9.3.3 iOS seems to hit the battery life

    On our iPads, battery life seems to have taken a severe blow after installing 9.3.3. For example, one was at 97 percent before bedtime and 3 percent the next morning with the "battery" showing that "home and lock screen" as the culprits. Is this common?

    No it's not. I suggest that you reset the unit by keeping the power and Home keys pressed until the Apple logo.

  • Why battery life decreases significantly when I use Safari?

    I upgraded to El Capitan 10.11.5. on my Macbook air early 2014.  Just when you open Safari, it is listed as using the significant energy and the battery life decreases by several hours.

    I have no software extensions or third running.  I didn't have bugs or other problems since the installation of El Capitan, just this matter of battery life.

    If anyone has any recommendations on how to investigate this, I would be very grateful.  Thank you.

    Please, back up all data before proceeding.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

    ~/Library/Safari

    A right click or Ctrl-click on the line and select

    Services ▹ Open

    the contextual menu.* should open a folder named "Safari". Quit Safari runs. One or more files in the open file must have a name begins as follows:

    History.DB - wal

    Move these files and only those who, in the trash, leaving the window open. Restart the application and test. If there is no change, stop again and place all other files with a name starting in 'History' of the Safari folder to the trash. The browser history will be empty. If possible, restore the file named "History.db" from an earlier backup problem.

    * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  • MacBook battery life

    I just bought my macbook two weeks ago and at first, the battery life display 10 hours of use but after I have updated to OS X EL Capitan, it seems that the battery life has become much shorter than 5 hours of use. I set the brightness to save battery, but the battery consumption is always the same. Is it normal to be like this or what should I do to save the battery. If anyone knows how I should improve my macbook battery, it will be very good to know that for the most part, I need to travel and need more autonomy.

    Open the activity monitor (in the Utilities folder). Click the CPU tab and click the column heading of time CPU. All items showing a very high number?

  • Short load cycles affect the battery life?

    Hello world

    2 weeks ago, I bought a car with Apple Carplay. Before, I was charging my iPhone 6 more at night, have it completely recharged when I wake.

    Then, since I plug it to my car to use Carplay everytime I go somewhere, the battery has multiple short consecutive charges along the day. I was wondering if this kind of accusations could affect my battery life in the wrong direction? Does my battery prematurely die compared to 'normal' load cycles every night

    Thanks for your replies.

    No, many short sessions of loading will not harm your battery. At the risk of anthropomorphism, lithium-ion batteries "prefer" kept topped up.
