• Does your laptop battery read “plugged in not charging?” or simply is your laptop battery not charging?

  More often than not this could be because you need a new battery for your laptop. Most Laptop batteries have a lifespan of between 2-3 years but at times even longer depending on usage and your charging cycle.

  Have you noticed that all of a sudden the number of hours in between your laptop battery charges has become shorter and shorter?

  What is a Charging Cycle: 

  A  laptop battery charge cycle is the process of charging a rechargeable battery and discharging it as required into a load. The term is typically used to specify a battery’s expected life, as the number of charge cycles affects life more than the mere passage of time. Discharging the battery fully before recharging may be called “deep discharge”; partially discharging then recharging may be called “shallow discharge”.

  What is advisable?

  A deep discharge of your laptop battery is therefore most advisable. However this may not be fully practical but if you expect a longer life from your laptop battery then this is the only option.

  What do I do to have a longer laptop battery life?

  1. Charge your laptop battery fully( till 100%), preferably as you use it

  2. Disconnect your laptop from the power adapter

  3. Continue using your laptop until the battery reaches 10-15%

  4. Re-connect the laptop charger and charge fully once again as you continue using the laptop

  5. If you prefer to get a full charge while your laptop is off then please ensure that you monitor your laptop closely. However this may prove to be a bit challenging
