Some problems about your car batteries

Are Your Batteries Dead or Is It Time To Replace Your Electronics?

Now we all know that there is a Hp laptop battery time that the battery in your device will have gone through enough charge/discharge cycles that it decides to not play anymore and you need to replace it. There are ways you can tell that your battery just won’t last much longer. Such as when the device lasts for only a short time after a full charge, the cordless phone that only lasts 15 minutes into a conversation before sending you scrambling for the rarely used phone in the other room. Like when your laptop dies 30 minutes into a movie right after a good plot twist.

We had a call the other day for a camcorder battery, the device had all the earmarks of having a dead battery; it wouldn’t turn on, the charger “seemed” to be charging the battery, and it was an older battery having served faithfully for several years. As I searched for the battery for the camcorder (which the battery apparently is no longer made anymore) I learned Hp F4098A battery something interesting had happened to the camcorder.

One thing about electronics that anyone who has dropped their cellphone in the toilet or other water can attest to, is the fact that electronics and water do not usually mix well. This person’s camcorder apparently got hot in the heat of the day and decided to go swimming in the lake.

Having served the family so long, the owner could not bear the loss and jumped in to rescue the electronic servant. After letting the camcorder dry out and carefully wiping it down with a towel it was turned on. Realizing that nothing was happening the owner assumed the battery had finally given its last hoorah and needed Hp F4809A battery,replacement. However unless you own a device that is either water-resistant or waterproof such as an underwater camera the chances are pretty good that the device committed suicide when it took that plunge into the briny deep.

Can Batteries Freeze In The Winter?

Granted this is a question we hear mostly in the winter, it is however a question we get asked from time to time.

In a partially discharged state, the electrolyte in a lead acid battery may freeze. At a 40% state of charge, electrolyte will freeze if the temperature reaches approximately 16.0°F (8.9°C).

The freezing temperature of the electrolyte in a fully charged battery is -92.0°F (-68.9°C).

Don’t forget that a good percentage of the electrolyte in your lead-acid Hp F4812A battery battery is water (approximately 75% in a fully charged lead-acid battery).

So those of you in colder climates give your batteries a blankie and keep them where it will not get quite as cold to prevent them from being frozen, just when they’re needed the most.

Battery Powered Bug

It looks like Volkswagen and Sanyo have joined forces to work on an efficient lithium-ion battery to go into the next generation of hybrids for Volkswagen.

As companies clamor over each other to perfect hybrids and eventually more all-electric vehicles the race is on to develop the best and brightest combination with balance between performance, safety, and cost.

Car companies are scrambling to create more efficient combustion engines and to develop technologies to capture some Hp 319411-001 battery, of the energy created while we drive then turn around and use the energy to extend mileage.

Aiming towards a 2010 date before we start seeing these products from Volkswagen, what other companies will be into the fray by then? Daimler, BMW and others have all mentioned doing similar projects while the Chevy Volt has been all over the news. I think the next year or two will see a virtual explosion of vehicles that are highly efficient hybrids or all-electric. What are your thoughts? Battery powered Bug anyone?
