Battery life maximize W510

Hello

recently, I bought a W510. I installed Linux and now I wonder what thresholds of charge I should use in order to maximize the life of the battary. On http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tp_smapi#Battery_charge_control_features , there is a notion of start = 50 and stop = 80. These values are reasonable or better a?

I ask because tp_smapi is there for years and perhaps the battery technology could have evolved since.

Kind regards

Stefan

try to 90 per cent of the higher value. But make sure that you reset the battery every two months or so, to unload and reload again.

    Question: What is the best option to maximize battery life battery with Lithium-ion batteries?

    Hello

    I wonder why you n check the user's manual t or have you checked it?
    The manual provides many useful tips, it confirms the information provided in document Toshiba

    However, I assume that the information provided in the document of Toshiba relate to Toshiba laptops and the wikipedia article is general information

    I have several laptops at home and I still have the battery charged and completely acquitted in the first three, four times.
    You know, you can compare the situation of a laptop with the batteries of mobile phones battery. It s always advised to load and unload completely the battery because of the effect of stack memory.

    But from my personal experience each battery loses life after 1 performance 1.5 year.

    Hello

    What to say dude battery working time depends on the use of the laptop and on the performance of the battery.
    I put t know what exactly the battery delivered with this laptop, but as far as I know it s a common standard battery. If you want to use the laptop much more time, I advise you to buy the stronger battery; for example, with 6000-8000mAh with Adapter Cable.

    By the way; You can configure the use of battery power in Vista power options.
    If you wish, you can create a new configuration of the plant to get the best performance from the battery.

  • 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:

    All parameters are the same as sw1 outside heart monitor being active (the reason for the upgrade)
    I'm not currently using stamina mode.
    A few tips to maximize the prosecution and to last more then 2 days without stop the characteristics of the band?

    Yes, always load until the small LED turns off. I didn't know this at the beginning, but a few days ago the light and I guess it has reached State full. To extend the life of the battery, try to use it in normal mode and not heart rate monitor. Also, avoid having the two notifications and call about this if possible also of many notifications from facebook, google, mail etc. will reduce the battery life. I've had a life of maximum 3 days on this subject, the normal mode.

  • Battery life

    Someone else has problems with how long does the battery last? I just bought mine yesterday and the battery life is very short. I am very disappointed. He had a full charge to 01:00 and I put it and when I woke up at 7:30, it was like 26%.

    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. Tell the 'they' who says 'it is better do not reach' 04:20 occurs only twice a day and they have to keep it up to two times per day to book all the cells of the brain are left in hiding.
