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.
