Laptop batteries and batteries in general are paramount to our survival in this wireless mobile world. Without power for our devices, we will be standing still or looking for the nearest AC power outlet. Until a limitless power cell or Toshiba Laptop Battery
battery is invented, we are stuck with the ones that we have now and the only way to prolong the battery life is by taking very good care of the battery. Typical battery life is about 1.5 ?3 years which is about 500 ?800 charge/discharge cycles.
Laptop Battery Chemistries
Batteries contain chemicals which react together and produce electricity. The three main types of battery chemistries are Lithium Ion, Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metalhydride. One of the latest types is Lithium Polymer Ion. Due to health and safety and inefficiencies Nickel Cadmium batteries and Nickel Metalhydride batteries are being phased out.

Memory Effect
Ni-Cd batteries orget?their full capacity. This is called the memory effect. When a battery is put on charge whilst it is only partially discharged, it charges partially, not to its full capacity. To avoid this, use the device without AC power until battery is fully discharged and then recharge the battery completely. This should be carried out once a month, to obtain optimum results from the battery.
