Thread: Is it your laptop battery be above charged

Most laptops now utilize lithium Ion batteries. Overcharging Li-ion batteries is not a trouble and does not pretend the battery capacity span. These batteries can be charged 300 to 500 times, and they have an inner circuit to stop the charging process at entire charge.


The control system keeps overcharging, which can induce the lithium ion battery to overheat and potentially burn. This is why the Li-ion batteries are more costly. The just path for the Li-ion battery to overcharge is if the charging system malfunctions, and then the battery will heat up when in the charger. If you do not design to utilize your laptop for long period of time, you can extend the life of your lithium ion laptop battery through saying it with a 50% charge.




A entirely discharged battery left for a long period of time will miss its charging capacity. Entirely charged batteries discharge while they are left fresh, and will lose effectiveness. This is why it is recommended to discharge a Li-ion battery till it is nearly out early shutting down. Functioning a Li-ion battery down fully will diminish capacity. Maintain the battery in a cool space and do not save your PC for a long period of time while it is entirely charged.


Older laptops utilize Nickel-cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. They need more maintenance than Lithium Ion batteries. They must be entirely discharged and then completely recharged so that they do not miss battery capacity. These batteries can be overcharged just if they go by so many cycles of charging and discharging, which dilutes their effectiveness and capacity. It is excellent to charge complete batteries entirely before utilize; then utilize on battery power till the optimum level for every battery kind is reached, early recharging.
