Docking station ruin the battery?

Hello
My old laptop was a something Lenovo that has been duplicated for me 1 and the same version for my parents...
I use to keep my AC when 100% or my battery out when I'm at home. |
While they were trendy - overload 24/7...
After 2 years mine was still great as their is now barely 10 minutes autonomy... You simply unplug the AC and the low power of the Cree PC...

Well now I have a new laptop: HP EliteBook 2570p, with a good docking station for she...
I was half ear said that the docking station should intelligently protect my self and I can count on her for not keeping feed my PC when 100% is reached.
It may seem credible to the size of the docking station and the fact that its almost impossible to connect the battery keeps the PC first and it would be a bit ridiculous if she would not keep him... BUT... I don't want to take the risk...

A Google search would not give me an appropriate response and the manual doesn't talk about this...

Could any expert please vote for a real answer if it could go wrong or not
An explanation is also recommended

Thanks in advance!
Jordan.

Hi McJordan,

HP laptops don't keep charging the battery when it reached 100%.  Gennerally speaking, if the battery is equal to or greater than 95% charged when it is plugged in, the laptop will not charge the battery more far.  Load will occur only after the battery went down below 95%, and only then it will be up to 100% of load, then stop.  It is true, with or without the docking station.

My own Probook, is currently sitting at 97% available (sector, no charge) as I write this.

There are two things to keep in mind when you use a docking station with a laptop, one is that the heat is the enemy of batteries and other components in a notebook, then make sure that the laptop is overheating not ensuring that the vents are clear and clean and there is adequate air circulation around the laptop.  Also if you mainly use Notepad in the dock so it is still connected to an electrical outlet, at least once a month, take out the laptop from the docking station and allow him to use the battery up to where you will get the warning you need to plug it in, then back into the docking station and leave the battery recharges 100%.

I also recommend to consider the following two documents for additional advice on maintaining the performance of the battery:

    I have questions get all the sounds from my motorola docking station speaker. He's running ok, but the sound does not work... any advice/suggestions?

  • the update of the 2.2 defy had a docking station as the droids MODE option?

    Hi I was wondering if upadate motorola for challenges to froyo 2.2 has added a new feature DOCK MODE as the motorola droids can't, I saw my phone in standby mode once with a dock mode on it, but when I type it it is returned to the main screen, any ideas how I can turn this option?

    Thank you!

    Nothing should be plugged into the microUSB port, there is a magnetic sensor near the port that allows to the docking station. It may have just come up through error, but this is the way to activate it.

  • docking stations for the view

    Sansa claims the im413 Altec Lansing is compatible with the view.  He also had a remote control and FM, these two elements I want.  However, I called Altec Lansing and they did not like being reported as being compatible with the view because it has not been tested.  I emailed Sansa about this and they told me to call their 866-726-3475 tech support number, which I frankly don't believe that they are particularly useful or well informed.  Once, when I called they told me to download the software for something else, that I wonder. Well, that didn't work and I called again and was told by another representative of different to use software. Why aren't all on the same page?

    In any case, I would be grateful if someone had actual experience with the view using a docking station where I can use the remote control and FM.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I have the iM413, and as long as you are ready to use the new firmware, then it will work fine...  All functions of work, on the remote and the player himself...  Not to mention that the systems sounds GREAT!

    Just buy it already!  You will not disappointted...

  • Mode docking station using the magnetic charge

    I noticed that whenever I connect my phoine to a dock, magnetic, my phone is sort of the 'changes' mode. IE im using XHTML, CSS, and every time I connect my Themer phone restarts. It can become particularly irritating sometimes, espeically when it stop what im doing, like games.

    Is there an option anywhere to turn off the mode of magnetic charge docking station? I looked everywhere, but no one else seem to be mention or provide all the solutions.

    I'm afraid, it is not possible to disable this behavior. It is the application to manage change in the configuration of the device in this case: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/runtime-changes.html

  • Docking station indicating the program activity of the other user

    In recent days a colleague and I have found that two of our Mac Dock have a separate block on the left of the main dock to burst open and closed in accordance with the activity of each and other.

    In other words, when I use Chrome or by post or similar, they see the Chrome or Mail app icons popping up in their Dock.

    I googled this and found nothing on this subject.

    Any ideas what this feature and how to turn it off? It of really annoying, is without impact on the our office machines.

    We miss all day El Capitan 10.11.5 (15F34).

    Looks like the transfer procedure. The two machines are configured with the same iCloud account.

  • Will be a docking station for the earlier works to connect with the lighting cable, if I have a match?

    I have a really great dock I want to use it with my new iPhone. but he has the old type of connector. If I buy an adapter, it will only load, or it will play music from the phone as well?

    If you buy an authentic Apple adapter, this should work, although I saw some errors with a 30-pin lamp CAP in my car for the connection of the iPod.

  • W510s question, docking station and the blue screen

    I have 4 W510s that works perfectly when undocked, but when it is docked, that they either a blue screen when you use them, or hang after loading windows page (just has a display empty afte RL loading page), or after the page load they restart Windows.

    I've updated the bios, updated graphics drivers,.

    Please I need help on this

    I would be really appreciated it

    Thank you

    they have all their own separate docks.

    But anyway, I found the answer, I downloaded the updated nvidia driver since

    http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-Win7-WinVista-64bit-275.33-WHQL-driver.html

    and they all work very well now.

    I always thin it's weird that they all had this problem at the same time, I guess it's a windows update that has been deployed which triggered it.

    but thanks for your concern, duly appreciated.

  • Satellite click on Mini L9W-B-loading the battery/questions

    Hello

    I just got my Satelite click Mini a few days ago, and there seems to be a problem with the battery in the keyboard.

    When I got the laptop I have completely loaded him and everything was fine. I have often used the laptop and I noticed today that the main battery had fallen to 3%. I assumed that the power would return to the 2nd battery but it didn't and firm. Then I rebooted and powered it however the charge seemed to stall at about 40%.

    After checking the forums I thought that an update of the bios (at 1.7) it would solve however there no and other issues have marked up. The first battery charge very slowly and seems to stall at 70% the second battery is showing zero percent (before the update it is 100%), it indicates also that its plugged in and not charging.

    In addition, and I don't know if it's related, but I found it very hard to type in this forum that the screen is blinking and I have to wait after pressing each key. I had this post on another laptop.

    Any help would be appreciated, I'm afraid that this laptop has to return to the factory.

    Thank you very much

The first battery charge very slowly and seems to stall at 70% the second battery is showing zero percent (before the update it is 100%), it indicates also that its plugged in and not charging.

    As far as I know that the BIOS v1.7 has solved the problem with the keyboard dock charger status which was not recognized by the system of window correctly.
    You said that before updating the status of the battery was 100%. He was wrong.

    You should also know that the battery
    #1 refers inside the Tablet and the battery
    #2 refers to the battery in the keyboard docking station.
    The battery status can be checked in the Windows Mobility Center window.

    When you use the tablet with the keyboard dock, the second battery (battery inside the keyboard docking station) is the first source to power!

    If you use the keyboard for the first time, it might be possible that the battery is deeply discharged and the need to maintain the Tablet and keyboard dock to recharge for at least 24 hours.
    The tablet should be connected to the power adapter and moored at the keyboard docking station.

  • Internal network card is cut off when I remove my XPS M1710 the docking station

    Hello

    I have a xps M1710 laptop. I normally use a docking station and the internal network card works fine when the laptop is in the docking station. But now when I remove the laptop from the docking station for the network adapter is disconnected.

    I know that it stops when the battery mode to save energy, but it is always closed when I connect to a power supply for laptop. I tried the plug before you turn on the computer and it does make a difference.

    It's not happened before and I have to go to the internet on my laptop earlier, when not to use the docking station.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?


  • Using ISA cards in the Tecra 8100/8200 docking station

    Is it possible to use old pc ISA cards in the PCI slots in the Tecra 8100 docking station?
    The Deskstation V Plus for the 8000 series seems to allow dual use in some of its slots so I wonder if it's the same for the 8100/8200 series.

    You can also the Tecra 8100 can be anchored to the Deskstation V to allow access to the ISA slots?

    Hello

    where did you get this with the AIS in the PCI slots? I've never seen a combo slot in my life so I can't believe :)
    But what about the v: Deskstation

    Yes, it can be anchored, it s integrates without problems, then you will be able to use the ISA-machines built slot.
