4 common problems of laptop battery

There are various kinds of problems a laptop owner may encounter when they use their laptops over time. Here are listed 4 detailed common problems that you may meet during the process of using your laptop.

1. Overheating

A little bit of heat produced by a laptop battery is completely normal, and laptop batteries are often warm to the touch while in use. However, sometimes batteries can get very hot and become uncomfortably hot to touch. Some batteries have been known to even overheat, causing the computer to shut off, or in the worst case scenario, catch fire. There are no home solutions to overheating batteries, and usually a new battery is required. So in order to extend the ife of your laptop, you had better not to exposure a rechargeable laptop batttery to a estreme hot condition.

2. The Memory Effect 

The "memory effect" is a phrase used to describe something that happens to all rechargeable batteries over time, although some more than others. Essentially, when a battery is not completely drained before it receives another full charge, the battery can be "tricked" into thinking it has a shorter battery life than it does. This shortens the overall time that a laptop can run on one battery charge. A battery can be fully charged and fully drained in four to five cycles to help reset a battery and remove some of this memory effect. If cycling through full to empty on a battery doesn’t remove the memory effect, it is likely time to purchase a new battery.

3.Slow or No Charge

If the battery is not charging when it is plugged in, be sure the battery is installed properly. Check that the outlet the laptop is plugged into is completely functional. If the battery will still not charge, it may be a case of a dead battery. After many charges, batteries can begin to charge very slowly, or sometimes charge at all. This is where a replacement battery is necessary. If  your newly purchased li-ion laptop battery can't be charged, you should check the compatibility and clean the contacts.

4.Sudden Shut Down

If a computer is suddenly shutting down, this can be quite annoying, as well as difficult to diagnose, because it can be caused by different things. If a laptop shuts down frequently, the user should look to see if the battery meter says it is holding a charge and whether the battery is inserted properly. If the issue persists, contacting the manufacturer is the next step. If properly charging and fully draining a battery, and checking that it is inserted properly does not fix the issue, a new battery is like necessary.

How to Choose the best suitable laptop adapter

Reprinted from: http://laptop-batteryorguk.over-blog.com/2014/04/tips-to-choose-choose-the-best-laptop-battery-charger.html

If you are a business man who constanly talk business with your oversea clients through laptop, you may eager to avoid running out of battery power while using your laptop, especillay when you are doing a great deal. So it is important for you to look for an external laptop battery charger. Here are some tips for your to choose the Best External Battery Charger for your laptop.

Even though there are various kinds of laptop battery charger available, you can first narrow down your choices by finding one that is compatible with your laptop since most chargers are brand or model-specific. In other word, if your laptop is ASUS you may need to buy a chager of ASUS brand and A32-K53 model. Different laptop charger models will lead to imcompatibility problem. So you should kep your eye on our laptop model.

You had better to puchase a laptop adapter with a warranty, especilay when you are going to buy a charge from online shopping and you are unable to test it before your payment. A warranty is a statement by the seller or manufacturer of a product that it will perform in the manner specified. As a consumer, you should realize that not all warranties are equal. They may be limited to term, they may have limitations that apply to the misuse of any product, and they may also cover only certain things. For a laptop charger, warranty is usually from 9 months to 12 months.

You should also pay attention to the size of the charger connector. Same model laptops may have different connector sizes. For example:There are 2 different sizes of ASUS XB02OAPW00100Q Laptop AC charger, that is 3.0mm*1.1mm and 4.0mm*1.35mm. You should make clear that you have purchased the right one. Othrwise, it will not fit your laptop.

Last but not least, we should never ignore the Output Voltage and Output Current which you can find it at the label of your charger.

Review of Asus K50C-SX009V laptops

Supporters:Bright screen;. Good design;. Largish hard drive.


"I am overwhelmed by design and quite astonished by the ASUS laptop battery performance."

"It is my first touch laptop, but it responds quickly and without error. Also, the built-in microphone doesn't pick up my voice unless I'm up-close and personal with the laptop."

"The  Asus K50C-SX009V laptop battery has a long lasting life which exceeds my demands."


“I like the touch pad, keyboard, mouse and touch screen.”

"The Asus K50C-SX009V laptop feels very solid when you pick it up -- there's very little give in the chassis and the lid is sturdy, too."

Opponents: Very sluggish performance;. Poor 3D capabilities;. Spongy keyboard.

"The cost-cutting becomes obvious when you take a look at the range of ports on offer."

"Wants to sleep-in like me, intense glare almost like a mirror; left click is dented in less than 1 month of use."

"For me, an annoying clicking sound with each pressed key"
 
Neutrals:The 15.6-inch Asus K50C-SX009V laptop may have a low asking price, but it only delivers netbook levels of performance.

 "The viewing angle is a little narrow, although not excessively so, and black levels aren't that deep, but on the whole it's sharp and delivers punchy pictures."

 The Asus laptops offers a sleek and durable design with strong performance and incredible display, and the price is acceptable. Asus has fitted a reasonably generous 320GB hard drive that provides a decent amount of space for storing documents and media files. There's also a DVD writer built in, so you can burn your own CDs and DVDs.

Given the laptop's low price, the screen is relatively good. Its resolution of 1,366x768 pixels may be average, but thanks to its LED backlighting and glossy coating, it conjures up bright pictures and vibrant colours. The viewing angle is a little narrow, although not excessively so, and black levels aren't that deep, but on the whole it's sharp and delivers punchy pictures. 

As expected the Asus K50C-SX009V offers generous viewing angles, with images holding up at 180 degrees on the horizontal axis with no noticeable distortion. The display proves to be just as flexible when tilting the display forwards. However, display did produce a faint sheen along with noticeable reflections when it was tilted backwards

Steps to Clean your laptop

Most laptop owners may find that their laptops become dirty (rom a smudged screen and a filthy keyboard to dirty, dusty vents and ports.) But they always feel confused to clean their laptops. Here are some steps to teach you to clean your laptop.

You need to prepare the following 4 tools to clean your laptop.
  • A can of compressed air
  • Mild dish detergent such as Dawn
  • sopropyl rubbing alcohol
  • Soft, lint-free cloths 
Steps to clean your laptops:
  1. Cut off the power of your laptop and unplug its adapter. Remove the battery and store it in a  dry and cool condition.(How to quickly and safely remove your battery from laptop, please refer: http://laptopbatteryorg.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/how-to-remove-battery-from-laptop.html
  2. Mix a couple drops of Dawn and a couple cups of warm water together, dip your lint-free cloth in the soapy mixture, wring out, and wipe down the surfaces. Rinse out the cloth with clean water and wipe down again. Lastly, to avoid water streaks, wipe down a third time with a dry cloth. 
  3. Clean the keyboard. Pay attention not to let any liquid drip down underneath your keyboard. Use your can of compressed air to remove any crumbs that are lying in the crevices in between the keys. After that, dab a lint-free cloth in isopropyl rubbing alcohol and gently rub your keys. You might be able to remove some stains with soap and water, but isopropyl rubbing alcohol is better for two reasons. For one, it evaporates almost immediately, which greatly reduces the risk of liquid getting inside your laptop. Secondly, it's effective in removing the oily residue left behind by your fingertips. 
  4. Use a can of compressed air to blow the dust bunnies out; this will not only make your laptop look better, but it can also improve performance by letting your laptop better control its temperature with a clean vent. If there is a dust bunny that you see is stuck behind the vent that you can't dislodge by blasting it with compressed air, then consult your user manual on how to open the case. Be sure you remember which screws went where for the reassembly; snap a picture or two of your laptop before opening the case for a handy reference.

New laptop battery can't be charged to 100%

Most  people who have purchased a new battery for their laptops may encountered this annoying problem: when they install their newly purchased battery into laptops and plug the adapter to charge battery for about 10 hours or more, however, to their disappointed, their laptop battery only shows 70% capacity or even less.Here are some advice to slove this problem.

Advice 1:

Many laptop batteries may have been put on the warehouse for a long time,so
it may shows inaccurately when used it at the first time. You can fully charge and discharge your battery to perfect is performace.
A typical charge and discharge cycle is as follow:

1. Install your newly purchased battery into your laptop

2. Disconnect the AC adapter and use your laptop until it itself shuts down. In this situation, the battery is fully discharged.

3. Connect the AC adapter and your battery should start charging.
  4. Charge until the battery is full.
Repeat this charge and discharge cycle a few times and your battery pack will be conditioned to perform at full capacity. But not to over discharge or over charge your battery.

 AS10D31 Laptop Battery

Advice 2:

Calibrating your laptop battery to optimize its performance.

Inside the laptop battery is microprocessor software, which calculates the battery volume during the charging/discharging. Batteries must be calibrated from time to time to ensure correctness of the time and the percentage displayed on the screen. You must implement a complete cycle of charging and discharging the battery at the beginning of using the computer, and repeat this cycle every two or three months. The charging and discharging procedure is as follows:

1. Set the Power Supply option first: Right click on the screen and select Property -> Screen Saver -> Power Supply -> Power Use Scheme -> Portable. In all the subsequent operations such as When Computer and Use Battery, select Never m,. Under the Alert option, deselect Alert for deficient battery and Alert for serious battery shortage.

2. Disconnect the power adapter and use the battery until the computer is powered off due to exhaustion of the battery.

3. Connect the power adapter until the battery is charged to 100%. Before initial use of the computer (or resuming use of the computer after long-term storage), the battery must be charged to full and discharged for 3-4 times to optimize the performance. The charging process takes more than five hours.


If your newly purchased battery can't be charged at all, please click the following article for more information.

Review of Asus Zenbook UX301

The supporters: The Asus Zenbook UX301 packs in a lot, including a better-than-HD touch screen, big 256GB SSD, and Core i7 processor, in a slim, smart design.
 "Parts are better than what you pay. Quiet effcient. Computer is responsive and fast."
"long lasting battery life, fast, quiet and cool"
"It also contains enough ports and has a decent keyboard and a very smooth mouse."
"I really like the battery support for this laptop. It lasts very long as of my experience."
 
The opponents:  It costs more than most comparable better-then-HP laptops, including the Retina MacBook Pro. The Zenbook doesn't feel as rugged as its price warrants, and its battery life is unimpressive.
"sound quality is ehh, the wifi card is a pain sometimes"
"touch pad bar click loud like a toy clicker, fingerprints easily lid and touchpad"
  
Neutral: Asus was one of the first PC makers to go ultra-thin with its Zenbook line. That latest UX301 version packs in nearly every high-end spec you'd want, but it's priced out of reach for most, and lacks an all-day battery.

The Asus UX301 joins the Toshiba KiraBook, Apple MacBook Pro, Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus, and others in offering a touch screen that goes beyond 1080p. In this case, it's a 2,560x1,440 display, which has so far proven to be slightly more common than the 3,200x1,800 version found in the Yoga 2 and Razer's upcoming Blade 14.  

In either case, it's a lot of pixels to push on such a small screen, but there are definite benefits in reading on-screen text and editing high-resolution photos. It's not an extra feature that counts as a must-have just yet, but just as touch screens have gone from oddity to standard feature in less than two years, I can see these higher resolutions coming to more and more laptops in the near future. 

Hopefully, many of those future models won't cost quite as much as as this one. At $1,899 (it's about $50 less at most online stores), this configuration of the UX301 is about as expensive as non-gaming laptops get. The components are appropriately premium, to be sure, with an Intel Core i7 CPU and big 256GB SSD, but only 8GB of RAM and no other particularly unique features, aside from scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 3 on both sides of the lid. A 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro with similar specs (but minus the touch screen, of course), is $1,799. Likewise, a similarly configured Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus can be found for about $1,750, with an even higher-res 3,200x1,800 screen. 

 Connections, performance, and battery (☞ http://www.laptop-battery.org.uk)

On a slim ultrabook-style laptop, you're not going to find a lot of ports and connections. The main compromise here is the inclusion of two off-size video outputs, micro-HDMI and mini-DVI, instead of a single full-size port, as in the case of the similar Toshiba Kirabook, which has a regular HDMI port. More options are great in theory, but you'll need to carry around a pocketful of dongles to make it work. Two USB ports is acceptable, but many ultrabooks offer three.
  
Design and features
The Zenbook was one of the first laptops to truly embrace the ultrabook vibe, with slim, tapered metal shells, and lids that stood out from the crowd with a circular pattern that some say resembled rippling water. Here the same effect is generated not in aluminum, but but under a Gorilla Glass 3 lid, over a dark blue background. The big difference between this and other recent slim ultrabook-style laptops we've tested is the incredibly high gloss finish on the back of the lid -- as one would expect from a glass top layer. 
The large clickpad-style touch pad is much better than the versions found on the early Zenbooks of years ago. Back then, touchpad response was finicky, and multi-touch gestures were near-useless. This version is as good as any Windows laptop, with quick response and natural-feeling inertial scrolling, but I had to turn off the Windows 8 edge gestures because they were too easy to accidentally trigger. 

The 13.3-inch 2,560x1,440 touch screen display is a system highlight. Covered with edge-to-edge glass, the touch response was excellent and off-axis viewing was decent, but not best-in-class. The ultra-high resolution allows for an amazing level of zoom, and you can pinch-to-zoom on pages of text to see the effect up close. The glossy screen does, however, have a lot of glare under normal lighting conditions, so you may end up twisting and turning to find a glare-free angle. (TOSHIBA PA5109U-1BRS batteries )

The speakers are from Bang & Olufsen ICEpower, a subsidiary of the famous audio company, and sound decent for such a small laptop, although that may be because they're fired from side-edge speakers, which gives you an especially wide stereo image.
