Battery Killers

Ever wonder what kills a laptop battery? It would be easy if there was just one answer, but it is far more complex than that. The fact is that there are many different things that can kill your laptop battery, and most of the time it's caused by the laptop user. We all know laptops are worthless when the battery is dead, so lets find out what cellular laptop batteries hate.

Most of today's laptops use Lithium Ion batteries such as Hp F4098A battery, Hp F4809A battery, Hp F2299A battery, Hp F3172A battery, Hp F1739A battery, Hp Omnibook XE battery, Hp F2024B battery, Hp F2024A battery, Hp HSTNN-DB02 battery, Hp HSTNN-UB02 battery, Hp HSTNN-LB31 battery, Hp EV088AA battery. These batteries are awesome because they are light in weight and hold their charge better than the batteries of the past. Lithium Ion batteries, although long lasting, have some evil nemesis enemies much like superman's kryptonite. The first enemy is other metals. Other metals, when in contact with the Lithium Ion battery can disturb the ions within the battery and make the battery defective.

A lot of reconditioned or refurbished batteries are often the product of the battery touching other metals. Even though refurbished batteries may be enticing to buy as a replacement, they are generally garbage. Refurbished batteries will hold a charge very well for only a short period of time before becoming defective again. The best remedy is to buy a replacement battery directly from the manufacturer of the laptop or a laptop accessory dealer.

The second enemy is water. Although you and I need water to sustain our lives, water will indefinitely end the life of a cellular laptop battery. Water disrupts the Ions and produces a battery that is defective, even if the rest of the laptop looks fine. Dropping your laptop is very common, and most of us drop our laptop at least once a week. Although the laptops are built to withstand occasional drops and look unharmed, the sudden jarring movement can also disrupt the battery attached to the laptop.

Be careful and try to eliminate accidental laptop drops as much as possible. Extreme temperature conditions are also bad for your battery. We had a client that worked in a freezer for a company and he would tell us that he had to replace his laptop battery every 3 months. Batteries naturally need a constant climate as much as possible to operate and function to their full potential. Extreme temperatures also encompasses leaving your laptop on a hot stove or in the hot sun. This amount of high heat will cause the battery to overheat or melt.
