Get back the original backup time from your laptop batteries
Laptop batteries tend to develop a memory effect after a while. Use this tip to eliminate the side effect of constantly recharging laptop batteries when it is not required.
Battery memory occurs when it gets conditioned over time to run for less time than it is designed for or capable of . Say for example, you run your computer on its battery for an hour and then you plug it back in to let it recharge. The battery will be come conditioned to run only an hour before it runs out of juice.
To correct Battery Memory problems, you must completely drain the battery and recharge it. To completely drain the power of your battery, you need to go to your Windows Control Panel and select ‘Power options’, here you must first disable any ‘Power Management’ settings.
Next, you must go into your BIOS and make sure that if there is a power management setting, you turn it off as well. In most cases, once you are inside the BIOS, you will highlight ‘Power Management’ and select no action for ‘Critical battery’ setting. Once these steps have been completed, use the Escape key to return to the top level menu, and select ‘Save Settings’ and exit.
Once you have completed turning off the power management in both the BIOS and the Operating System., you must unplug the computer from the AC connection, turn it on and let it run until it completely runs out of power. Then you should change the battery for 12 hours. At the end of the charging cycle, run the computer again until the battery is dead, and then charge the battery for 12 more hours. You should repeat this process of recharging the battery for half a day at least four times, before your computer returns to its original factory power management settings.
As far as the battery usage goes, it is recommended that you should use the battery once every two weeks, and keep the battery in the system so that the AC adapter can keep the battery charged at all times even when not being actively used. This reduces possibility of memory effect.
It is also highly recommended for more than two weeks, you should completely discharge the battery (drain its power) and store it at room temperature.
