Discover ways to prolong the Toshiba laptop battery life is an excellent way for cost-saving since fresh laptop batteries are usually highly-priced. Toshiba laptop batteries has charge cycle for about 300-500 times, and for most people, after 12-18 months usuage, you will need to find a new replacement. Sometimes, instead of costing hundreds to buy a new replacement battery when it's dead, some people might consider buying a new laptop directly. Actually, by following a few simple tricks, you can maximize the run time and battery life.
One of the most detrimental conditions for a battery is high temperature. Short battery life in a laptop such as Toshiba PA2487U, Toshiba PA3107U-1BRS, Toshiba PA3383U-1BRS, Toshiba PA3384U-1BRS, Toshiba PA3285U-1BRS, Toshiba PA3191U-1BRS, Toshiba PA3166U-1BRS, Toshiba PA3331U-1BRS, Toshiba PA3098U-1BRS and Toshiba PA3084U-1BRS is mainly caused by heat rather than charge / discharge patterns. A battery heats up as you use the notebook computer but the Toshiba laptop battery will be overheating if you do not use it properly. Laptop fans is a key component for doing air exchanging and cool down the temperature of the laptop. If the fans can not work, you might get trouble on your laptop. The internal fans in laptops are designed to provide sufficient airflow to keep the computer from getting hot. When the fan in your Toshiba notebook fails and laptop over-heated, it might because you put the computer on a soft surface and clog the fan holes. Putting your laptop in bed or your lap, the Toshiba laptop battery may be overheating since soft surface cannot dissipate heat. Thefore, avoid doing so is important.
Let's talk about storage. In general it is not a good idea to leave your Toshiba laptop in your car. Extreme heat in the day and then cold in the night and cycling this over and over will not be good for your laptop. Hot batteries will discharge very quickly and this ruins the battery.
Charging a battery is a must for continued performance of laptop mobility. You don't need to totally discharge, then recharge the Toshiba Laptop Battery occasionally to make it last longer. Discharging and charging does not increase the life of a Lithium Ion technology battery. Also, the Toshiba battery is designed to stop using the charger when it reaches full charge therefore there is no worry about the "overcharging" problem.
The next important piece of equipment you need is the ac adapter. Without it, you wouldn't be able to use your computer after an hour or two. You can extend the life of the Toshiba adapter by treating it gently, never pulling the cord to remove the plug from the wall and never pinching the cord in drawers, under furniture legs or in doors.
If you're like me, your laptop spends as much time on your desk as it does on the road. If you are leaving the battery connected while on AC power in office, it's in the loss of charge cycles. Battery's temperature is higher on AC power resulting in accelerated aging. That's not good for battery's life. Thefore, just use the battery when you need it. When on traveling, try to rely only fitfully on your batteries. The optimal charge level is 40% for prolonged storage. For Lithium-Ion Toshiba laptop battery cells, full discharge/recharge cycles result in an increased loss of capacity, so, partial charge is better for keeping the battery life. If you run your laptop remotely all the time causing deep battery drains, you won't get as much life out of your batteries.
