How to charge your new replacement laptop battery?
Your new laptop battery comes in a discharged condition and must be charged before use
(refer to your computer manual for charging instructions). Upon initial use (or after a
prolonged storage period) the Dell Inspiron 6000 Battery
may require two to three charge/discharge cycles before achieving maximum capacity.
When charging the Dell Inspiron 6400 Battery for the first time your computer may indicate
that charging is complete after just 10 or 15 minutes. This is a normal phenomenon with Dell
Inspiron 6000 rechargeable batteries. Simply remove the battery from the computer and
repeat the charging procedure.
It is important to condition (fully discharge and then fully charge) the HP Pavilion dv4 battery
every two to three weeks. Failure to do so may significantly shorten the Hp Pavilion dv6000
battery’s life (this does not apply to Li-ion batteries, which do not require conditioning). To discharge, simply run your device under
the battery’s power until it shuts down or until you get a low battery warning. Then recharge
the battery as instructed in your user’s manual.
If the Dell Inspiron 6400 Battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is recommended
that it be removed from the device and stored in a cool, dry, clean place.
It is normal for a HP Pavilion dv4 battery to become warm during charging and discharging.
A charged Hp Pavilion dv6000 battery will eventually lose its charge if unused. It may
therefore be necessary to recharge the battery after a storage period.
The milliamp-hour (mAH) rating of the laptop battery dot org batteries will often be higher than the one
on your original battery. A higher mAH rating is indicative of a longer lasting (higher capacity)
battery and will not cause any incompatibilities. An Pavilion dv4 battery dot org battery will,
in most cases, outperform the original by 30% to 50%.
Actual Dell Inspiron 6000 Battery
run-time depends upon the power demands made by the equipment. In the case of notebook
computers, the use of the monitor, the hard drive and other peripherals results in an additional
drain upon the battery, effectively reducing the battery’s run-time. The total run-time of the battery is also heavily dependent upon the design of the equipment. To ensure
maximum performance of the battery, optimize your computer’s power management features.
Refer to your computer manual for further instructions.
How Can I Maximize My Dell Inspiron 6000 Laptop Battery Performance?
There are several steps you can take to insure that you get maximum performance from
your Hp Pavilion dv6000 battery:
Breaking In New Batteries- new batteries come in a discharged condition and must be fully charged before use. It is
recommended that you fully charge and discharge your new battery two to four times to
allow it to reach its maximum rated capacity.
Preventing the Memory Effect - Keep your Hp Pavilion dv6000 battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging
it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-ion batteries which do not suffer from the memory effect.
Keep Your Batteries Clean - It’s a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps
maintain a good connection between the battery and your portable device.
Exercise Your Battery - Do not leave your HP Pavilion dv4 battery dormant for long periods of time. We recommend
using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. If a battery has not been used for a
long period of time, perform the new battery break in procedure described above.
Battery Storage - If you don’t plan on using the battery for a month or more, we recommend storing it in a
clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects. Ni-Cd, NiMH and Li-ion Dell Inspiron 6400 Battery will self-discharge during storage; remember to break them in before use. Sealed Lead Acid (SLA)
batteries must be kept at full charge during storage. This is usually achieved by using special
trickle chargers. If you do not have a trickle charger, do not attempt to store SLA batteries
for more than three months.
For Notebook Users - To get maximum performance from your Dell Inspiron 6400 Battery
, fully optimize the notebook’s power management features prior to use. Power management
is a trade off: better power conservation in exchange for lesser Dell Inspiron 6000 Battery
computer performance. The power management system conserves battery power by setting
the processor to run at a slower speed, dimming the screen, spinning down the hard drive
when it’s not in use and causing the machine to go into sleep mode when inactive. Your
notebook user’s guide will provide information relating to specific power management
features.
