This stage is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. Most laptop battery cases are glued together. This makes them extremely unrepairable. There are models that are assembled on latches, but this is an exception to the rule. There are even cases made of solid plastic. In order to get to the battery cells in such models, you will have to cut them, and glue them after repair.
But most battery cases are held on with glue. To disassemble them, it is recommended to slightly heat the plastic along the seam and lightly tap with a hammer. Next, use a scalpel, knife, screwdriver to pry the plastic along the seam and gradually open the case. Control the force so as not to pierce the plastic and damage the lithium cells. This may cause them to ignite.
After disassembling the case, the first thing to do is visually inspect the battery assembly.
Check the controller for burned out cells and the batteries themselves. On normal banks there should be no smudges, swelling, damage.
Next, use a multimeter to check the voltage at the terminals of the connector that connects to the laptop.
If this does not work, then you will have to disassemble the assembly, unsolder the battery cells and work with each separately. If they can be brought out of their stupor, then good. If not, then battery repair will involve replacing the cans.
If you have to change the battery cells in the battery, first make a scheme for assembling your battery. That is, draw the arrangement of elements with the designation of positive and negative conclusions. Also put on the paper the connection of the assemblies, the places of their soldering to the controller board. Remember where the thermal sensor was soldered in the circuit, if there is one in your battery.
Before you repair a laptop battery, you need to purchase new cans that are similar in parameters to your old cells. The bank in the laptop battery is a 18650 battery.
It is difficult to give advice for all occasions here. You need to look at what kind of batteries it is in each case. Most often, lithium batteries 18650 with a voltage of 3.7 volts and a capacity of 2200 mAh (2400, 2600) are installed in laptop batteries.
After new batteries are found, you can start replacing the cells.
After soldering and all battery assembly operations, check the voltage at the connector terminals. The value should be near the nominal value for your battery. After that, the assembly of the body is carried out. If it has latches, then everything is simple. If the case was glued or solid, then the task will be more difficult. You will have to glue it with some kind of glue for plastic or universal. If it doesn't work, you can try to fasten it with electrical tape.
After that, the battery is inserted into the laptop and charged, if necessary. You can spend a couple of charge-discharge cycles, drive the battery with some programs. You can look at the programs that calibrate the laptop battery. Now do-it-yourself laptop battery repair is completed.

In conclusion, a few words about how to properly maintain a laptop battery.
If you often turn on your laptop from the outlet and use it mainly at home, then free the battery from the load. Charge it and take it out of the laptop. Your laptop will work quietly from the mains power supply. The only negative with this approach is that when the power is turned off, you will not be able to save data, unless you work through a UPS;
If you do not use the laptop for a long time, then charge the battery by 50-60% and store it separately. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Once every 2-3 months, carry out a charge-discharge cycle of the battery;
Make settings on your laptop and operating system that help save battery power. This is setting an energy-saving mode, reducing the brightness of the display (not at the expense of comfort), turning off Wi-Fi and other wireless modules if they are not required.
Laptop batteries are expensive equipment, so if you have an old laptop that works fine but needs a battery replacement, then before you consider whether or not to throw away your dead laptop battery and replace it with a new one, you'll want to know how you can still revive a dead or dying battery if it is at least 60% of the total capacity. Fortunately, there are many ways to help recover a dead battery, some of them are technical, some of them are beautiful, and some of them are strange.
Actually, it sounds ridiculous that freezing a dead laptop battery can bring it back to life, but it's true. You can freeze your laptop battery and thus prolong its life. To do this, follow this procedure on how to do it:
Step 1: First, remove the battery and place it in a sealed bag or plastic bag. Step 2: After that, put the bag in the freezer and leave for 12 hours. (You can also leave it for a longer period, but not more than 24 hours) Step 3: Once you take the battery out of the refrigerator, remove the plastic bag and let it warm up to room temperature.
Please note: once it warms up, make sure you wrap it in a towel and wipe off any condensation. Step 4: insert the battery and charge it fully. Step 5: Once it is charged, unplug it from the mains and let the battery discharge until it is completely discharged.
Then repeat steps 4 and 5 at least 4 times, fully charge the battery and then discharge it completely.
Note: this process is performed only on NiCd or NiMH batteries. Avoid trying this method on a lithium battery as it will only make things worse for the battery. Unfortunately, there is no way to regenerate a lithium battery, but it may help extend battery life. We follow method 2.
If you have a lithium-ion battery installed, you can extend its life by cooling your laptop. In case you have a laptop that gets really hot while working, it can damage the battery and shorten battery life.
I have personally tried this method on my Sony VAIO laptop and have greatly improved the laptop's battery life.
This process is not necessary for a new battery, but if the battery dies, then it is a fairly old battery. So, in this case, the inter-verification test will be beneficial for her. Battery recalibration is done because in some cases the OS cannot figure out how much power is left in the battery. This happens when the laptop is always plugged in or if the battery has never been removed from the laptop.
If your battery isn't charging to 100%, let's say only 95%, or if the OS says you're experiencing 35 minutes of battery life but the machine dies sooner or much later, then your laptop battery needs to be calibrated. There are many laptop-specific calibration tools available online to do the process automatically, but if you have to manually calibrate the battery, follow the process below.
Step 1: first, charge to 100% or the maximum the battery can reach and then leave it to cool down for 2 hours. Step 2: Then turn off the power and let the battery discharge. You can do this in two ways, first let the battery drain while the laptop is running and then set it to sleep or hibernation by about 3 to 5%. Also, you need to make sure the display stays on until it either turns off or goes to sleep. Step 3: next, let the machine be turned off for 3 to 5 hours > then turn the laptop back on and charge it to 100%.
Hopefully after doing this your laptop should be able to give you a more accurate reading of the actual battery capacity.
If your laptop has a removable battery, then try removing the battery while plugged in. You need to check at the same time how the laptop will work normally with the battery removed.Although, if the laptop is working fine and connected to a power source all the time, you can simply remove the battery.
Chemical reactions continue to occur in the battery whether it is installed in a laptop or not. But, it can increase battery life, since the battery is cool when it's plugged in.
In this method, you need to charge the battery to 100% and then unplug the laptop from the mains and when it dies (less than 5%), then plug it into the computer and charge. Conversely, it shortens battery life on a new lithium-ion battery; so in this case, you can't let the level drop from 35% to 45% and then charge it from 75% to 85%. This will apparently be aiming for better battery life, as this method won't use as many charges and recharge cycles.
If the laptop battery charging lamp no longer lights up even when connected to the network, the problem is either in the memory or in the battery. Everyone knows that when a laptop battery finally fails, finding exactly the same can be very difficult, and often impossible, because past models quickly become obsolete. What if the battery has finally exhausted its potential, and there is no way to purchase a similar one? There are three options: still spend a certain amount of time in order to find the same battery somewhere on the Internet, or contact a professional service center, or try to repair the laptop battery yourself.
In this case, battery repair does not mean a partial replacement, but a complete replacement of the entire battery pack. It should be noted right away that this task is not the easiest and will require not only certain knowledge, but also tools, which are also not so easy to acquire.
First you need to open the battery pack itself to see how many cells are installed there and which company - although, in fact, this is not so important. It also does not matter what model the computer in need of a battery replacement has: for an Asus laptop, you can purchase the same batteries as for an HP laptop without overpaying for a brand or logo.
First of all, it is important that the number of batteries matches the number of old cells: it can vary from 4 to 12, depending on the type of laptop. When choosing cells, you should pay special attention to the following indicators: capacity, rated voltage, internal resistance and battery type. All these parameters, as a rule, are affixed to the laptop itself and the battery pack. Regarding the laptop battery type, all laptops now use advanced lithium-ion batteries.
The capacity of cells for laptops is recommended to be set either nominal (the one that was in old batteries) or more: in this case, the battery can work much longer than the old one. For example, if the battery capacity was 1800 mAh, you can set 1800, 2000, 2100, 2200 mAh. Of course, elements of a larger capacity will cost more, but over time they will really justify themselves.
The battery pack must be opened carefully so as not to damage the plastic case. You can use a screwdriver without sharpening it too hard. Carefully remove the old batteries from the housing, paying attention to the fact that adhesive materials can be very strong. It is important not to damage the controller board and wiring. It is necessary to separate the batteries from the electronics from the larger plus sign to the small one, and you can easily determine which sign is which, visually. If there are difficulties with the definition, you can use a multimeter.
Before starting the welding process, the batteries are connected together overnight: with a positive charge - to positive, and with a negative - to negative, which is necessary to equalize the potential on them.
First of all, they must be soldered together in the same way as the previous ones, and at first one should not rush to throw away the old bunch of batteries: it never hurts to look at the soldering principle. Despite the fact that brave electronics lovers fearlessly weld a battery bundle with an ordinary soldering iron, it is still strongly not recommended to use it. The fact is that the conductors are soldered until the place of soldering warms up. Such heating is very harmful for the elements: irreversible chemical processes can occur from the soldering iron, which “kill” the battery capacity.
If, nevertheless, the incentive and desire to repair the battery does not disappear on its own, care should be taken to purchase a special machine for microspot welding. When using it, welding occurs very quickly, in a split second, and the batteries simply do not have time to heat up during this time. There is another option: order a bunch of batteries with already welded petals in the workshop, and at home you can already weld the petals in the right order with a soldering iron.
After the welding of new elements has been carried out, one should not immediately rush to solder them to the electronics. Before this, it is imperative to reprogram the battery controller, which “remembers” all the information about the old battery: how many “charge-discharge” cycles were carried out, what was their capacity level.
For example, if once the capacity of the old battery was 4000 mAh, and after several years of operation it dropped to 200 mAh, the controller will “remember” these numbers and will not accept the indicators of the new battery without first resetting the previous data.
The process of resetting the old data of the controller (in other words, flashing), in theory, can only be carried out by experienced specialists in the field of electronics. But, thanks to the existence of a special Battery EEPROM Works program, this do-it-yourself laptop battery repair becomes possible. It is carried out ten times easier and is available to a large number of people.
The EEPROM chip containing the memory is connected to the charger. The RESET button is pressed, and the software will automatically do all the other options. Battery capacity (Full Charge Capacity) will show the real capacity of the batteries that are currently available. Cycles Count is reset, the date also becomes the one that is in the laptop at the moment. The blocking (Permanent Failure Flag) is removed, and all other necessary changes are made automatically. Thus, the battery controller database is reset to zero and is completely ready to accept a new battery pack.
After completing all the manipulations with the controller, the battery is finally inserted into the laptop to check its operation, followed by charging. To see how the battery is charging, just look at its indicator, which is available in the laptop itself. But it is best to install the BatMon program for this purpose. Expect a 100% battery charge for some time. How to charge a laptop battery without a laptop, read here →
When the battery is 100% charged, create a new scheme in Windows, in the "Power Options" section, called test. With it, for convenience, the screen always remains on. All signaling devices should be turned off. Run the BatMon program, disconnect the charger from the computer and follow the battery discharge curve, which should descend smoothly, without hesitation. If the curve descends normally at first and then dips, the new batteries are bad.
Next, you need to wait until the laptop turns off on its own and put the battery back on charge.It is recommended to carry out at least two or three such cycles. It is important to consider that after the very first cycle, the curve may quickly drop down, and then the laptop may work at 0% for a long time because the self-shutdown option was temporarily disabled.
After doing this, the computer turns off, but there is no need to panic. The electronic circuit of the battery has not yet fixed where the main “points” of the batteries are located, ensuring their charge and discharge. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a full charge and discharge cycle at least 2-3 times - to ensure the correct operation of the battery electronic circuit.
Largely due to the creation of certain programs that allow you to reprogram the controller with minimal effort, it became possible to repair the laptop battery with your own hands. However, you should always remember that the use of a specialized spot welding machine when soldering is also an important condition in order to carry out repairs without “destroying” new batteries. If these two conditions are met, the risk of failure becomes much less, and the opportunity to do something useful on your own is much greater.

Each user, choosing which laptop to purchase, pays attention to the main factor in the duration of his work - the power and quality of the pre-installed battery.
A powerful battery will allow the computer to remain portable for a long time. A few years after the operation of the laptop, it becomes noticeable that its life in a state disconnected from the mains has significantly decreased. Laptops with failed batteries become unable to work autonomously even for 15-20 minutes. The surest way to fix the problem of an old battery is to purchase a new one.
The main and most common reason for poor performance of a laptop battery is its deterioration. However, battery failures can occur not only due to its aging. Other causes of battery failure:
Wrong charging method.
Incorrect operation.
Moisture in the computer, in particular on the battery.
It is extremely important for every user of a portable laptop to have comprehensive information on how to and how not to charge and connect their device to the electrical network. Do not constantly connect the computer to the mains. This should not be done if the battery is fully charged. Battery operation should be cyclical: you need to wait until it is completely discharged and only then connect the power supply. Also, do not interrupt charging in half. Wait for the power supply to fully charge the laptop battery. Remember that improper charging of your portable computer battery significantly reduces its life and further life cycle.
Battery failure may be that the laptop stops charging or is partially charged. In any case, third-party intervention is required. If the warranty period of your device has not yet expired, then it makes sense to contact a specialized service center for professional computer support.
Remember that each battery has its own lifespan and the number of possible full charge cycles. Having exhausted its resource, the computer battery becomes unusable, so you should not try to bring frankly old batteries back to life. It will be much easier and more efficient to purchase a new one. Repair the battery only if it has not yet exhausted its resource, but has been mechanically damaged by the user of the device.
If the device is powered by the mains, but does not want to function autonomously, you should check the device software for errors and eliminate them as much as possible. Possible troubleshooting steps:
You should only do repairs yourself if you are well versed in the battery operation scheme and understand its principle of operation. Otherwise, important contacts inside the battery can be damaged and the final repair will become more expensive.
To begin with, consider the principle of operation of a laptop battery. The main and most common types of laptop batteries are:
Nickel-based metal hydride batteries. Their main feature is that such batteries are advised to be brought to a state of complete discharge, and only then charged to one hundred percent. This should only be done for the first third of the battery life. If you do not follow this simple rule, the reserve of such a battery will be exhausted very quickly. You can find out what type of battery your device has by removing the battery. It will show the view.
Lithium ion. Throughout the entire period of use, this type of battery must be charged and discharged from start to finish. Do not interrupt the charging process and do not charge the laptop prematurely.
Polymer-lithium. Due to their low weight, such batteries can be charged even though they are not fully discharged. The life of such batteries is higher than that of other types of similar products.
In order to start repairing a damaged battery, you must first remove it and disassemble it. It should look something like this:
In ninety percent of all laptops, the battery is not disassembled, so you need to carefully cut the plastic case into two halves with a knife or blade. You should act carefully, because there is a possibility that important battery cells may be damaged.
Measure the rated voltage. This can be done by counting the number of battery cells and multiplying the resulting number by 1.2. The resulting number is called the nominal voltage (HV) of the laptop battery. Connect the elements in series at the extreme terminals of the battery and measure everything with a multimeter, if the device shows HH exactly the same as that obtained by calculations, but the laptop still cannot be turned on, then the malfunction lies in the battery controller. In order to fix the problem, you need to completely discharge all the elements of the laptop and then recharge them a little. Then assemble the battery, insert it into the laptop. The error should disappear.
Thus, you can repair all laptop batteries, however, before you start repairing yourself, watch a few videos on the Internet. In which they disassemble the battery of the same type as you have on your computer. If you are experiencing difficulties in repair, it is better to contact a specialist.
Often laptop users are faced with the fact that the process stops in the middle of charging the battery. When you hover over the battery icon, a message similar to this appears: "The power supply is connected, but the laptop battery is not charging." In fact, nothing serious has happened and every ordinary user can solve the problem. The cause of the malfunction is the incorrect inclusion of the operating system.
The problem is solved as follows: turn off the laptop, disconnect it from the power supply. Remove the battery, then wait 1-2 minutes and insert it back. Start your computer in safe mode, wait for the system to fully boot. Plug in your charger. Thus, the error disappears and the PC starts the charging process again. This type of malfunction may occur from time to time.
I bought a battery here ➤ https://ali.pub/2ig6ip
I decided to restore the laptop battery, which showed no signs of life. I wanted to try to repair the battery for a long time, but some people say that it will be necessary to carry out some manipulations with the controller.About a year ago I bought another battery pack for a laptop in China, but it worked for a rather short time, the batteries in it began to lose charge very quickly.
In general, I took two 18650 cells and replaced them in the battery pack from my laptop. I didn't do anything with the controller because I don't even know what to do with it. The battery repair was successful, the laptop was able to charge the battery pack again and work from it.

In fact, repairing a laptop battery is not a difficult process if you have experience with power tools, as well as knowledge of the battery process and tools to complete the task. By following some simple tips, laptop users can quickly do a DIY laptop battery repair while saving $100 on a new one.
Laptop batteries consist of rechargeable batteries and a circuit board. A typical 6-cell laptop battery has several hundred charge cycles, when they are depleted, the cells can no longer hold a charge. And the easiest way is to replace them.
Battery cells can be purchased for a fraction of the cost of a new battery. However, you must have experience with electronics to avoid the danger of electric shock, as this type of battery can explode. To ensure the safety of the repair, it is imperative to take all necessary precautions.
Before disassembling, you need to make sure that the laptop battery is completely discharged. Once the charge is completely depleted, you should double check the laptop before removing the battery. It is important!
Do-it-yourself Asus laptop battery repair procedure:
Open the battery case. To do this, carefully unpack it using a flathead screwdriver and a utility knife. Once the battery case has been opened, the type of batteries required can be analyzed and the wiring diagram for installing them can be determined. Before disassembly, it is better to take a picture or draw a connection diagram of the elements so as not to forget before restoring. It is also important to take all measures when opening to prevent deformation or breakage of the plastic case of the battery. Cell replacement. Use a voltmeter to make sure old cells are fully discharged before removing them. This will prevent possible electric shock. Use the model number on the battery to find suitable replacement cells. Solder the new cells to the wires, making sure they connect to the correct wires. Protective goggles are used when replacing lithium-ion cells. They are handled with care as they are capable of exploding. Once the battery case is closed and placed back into the laptop, it must be fully charged.
Laptop batteries are made up of lithium cells called 18650 cells. They don't last forever and have a lifespan of about 2 years. If the laptop is fully charged, but charging does not last even half an hour, this means that the cells inside the battery are dead.
With an old laptop battery in stock, some wires, and tools like a wire cutter and electrical tape, you can start repairing your laptop battery yourself:
Open the old battery and take out 6 cells that are in a 2 x 2 parallel connection. Check the voltage with a multimeter of your own battery. As a rule, a voltage of less than 3.6 volts for batteries indicates that they need to be replaced urgently. Using one wire, connect all cells in series. The circuit should provide about 12 volts. Open the original block, remove the faulty cells and, keeping the scheme, replace them with working cells. Assemble the circuit on the native battery.The battery pack will also have 4 wires - 1 negative and 3 positive (one connected to the end and two between the battery pack). Check the circuit with a multimeter before closing the unit. Close the battery case, insert into PC and start charging.
This equipment is designed to last about 2 years under normal circumstances, but its lifespan is often much shorter. Before attempting to repair a laptop yourself, consider how dangerous it is.
Lithium-ion batteries in particular are highly flammable and may cause an explosion, and not all battery types can be repaired.
These tips apply mainly to do-it-yourself laptop battery repair for lithium-ion type. Repair consists of the following steps:
Computer cooling. Recalibrate the battery. Wake up a dormant lithium-ion unit.
If the laptop battery is draining quickly, you can try to cool down the computer further.
Many laptop batteries today feature lithium-ion cells that need to stay cool so the battery lasts longer. If this part shows clear signs of slowing down because it has become too hot, you should immediately turn off the computer and cool it down.
When hot work is a common occurrence for a PC, then you need to purchase a cooling pad for your computer. It costs 5 times less than a new battery, and will not allow the laptop to quickly lose battery power.
If the operating system is confused about battery capacity, this means that recalibration may be required. The main reasons for this problem are:
the battery is not completely discharged; the user keeps the laptop on all the time.
Regardless of these reasons, there are two ways to solve the problem during DIY laptop battery repair.
The first of these is to search for an online battery calibration program with a tool designed and released by the manufacturer specifically for the desired laptop model. If the required software is not found online, you will have to use the second method and recalibrate the battery manually:
Charge the battery up to the maximum value it can reach. Let it cool down for 2 hours and completely discharge it. After turning off the laptop completely, do not turn it on for the next 3-5 hours. Turn on the laptop and fully charge the battery - this time it will be able to reach 100%.
Lithium-ion batteries contain a protective circuit that protects the battery from accidents when over-discharged. The transition to sleep mode can occur when the lithium-ion package is stored in a discharged state for any period of time, when self-discharge gradually depletes the remaining charge. Depending on the manufacturer, the Li-ion protection circuit is cut off between 2.2 and 2.9 V, and you need to know how to repair the laptop battery in this case.
Some chargers have a wake-up or "boost" feature to turn on again and recharge batteries that have "fallen asleep". Without this provision, the charger renders them unusable.
Boost applies a small charging current to activate the protection circuit. If the correct cell voltage can be reached, the charger starts normal charging. If the storage of lithium-ion batteries presents a clear uncertainty, then manufacturers recommend keeping them at a state of charge of 40-50%. But at the same time, they warn about the possible loss of the device due to excessive discharge. There is a wide range of action between these criteria, and if the user is in doubt, it is better to store the battery with a higher charge and in a cool place.
Very often, poor battery performance is not related to design flaws, but is caused by various software failures in the computer, in particular due to damaged drivers.
This error is easy to fix:
Remove the battery from the computer and start the PC through the power adapter. Go to the "Batteries" tab in the device manager, after which you can see the "Battery ACPI-compatible controller" drivers on the laptop and you can start restoring the laptop battery yourself. Uninstall the main driver, select it first, and then click on advanced options, click on "Uninstall" and "Confirm device removal" to completely uninstall this driver from the laptop. Turn off the laptop and put the battery back in its place, and then start the laptop again. After that, most likely, the problem will be solved. If the problem is still not fixed by the above solution, then it is quite possible that the registry of the operating system is corrupted by some kind of virus or malware. Then the only way to fix it is by using a best-in-class registry cleaner or BIOS reset.
To resolve the issue, you can try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC). Restart Mac in Recovery Mode:
Go to the menu in the top left corner of your Mac screen and click Restart while holding Command and R together to open a window. Erase your Mac hard drive and click Continue. Select your boot disk and click "Erase" using the buttons at the top of the "Disk Utilities" window. Select Mac OS Extended (Journal) from the menu and click "Erase", then boot the PC as usual.
Turn off your Mac. Disconnect the power cord from the PC. Hold power for 10 seconds and release the button. Boot your PC as usual.
Note! It may take a little longer than usual for the download to start after resetting the SMC.
Based on battery repair experience, users share their tips:
Some laptop batteries require a constant power source to protect important data in the device's memory. When replacing cells in these types of batteries, it is necessary to provide secondary voltage by connecting a 100 ohm resistor to remove old data. Only when installing new cells, the user can remove the resistor, and then start repairing the laptop battery with his own hands. When replacing cells, only rechargeable batteries of the same charge may be used (difference within 10%). Cells with different chemical bases, ages, or abilities cannot be used (i.e. do not use nickel cells if they use lithium cells). Insert lithium cells with the correct polarity as they are sensitive to reverse polarity. When charging or discharging or repairing a lithium cell battery, a protection circuit must be used. Copper shunts can form inside the cells, which can lead to a partial or complete electrical short circuit. When recharging, such a cell can become unstable, causing excessive heat or other anomalies, up to and including an explosion.
Knowing these secrets of quality laptop batteries can save consumers the hassle and money of repairing their own laptop batteries.
Choosing the right battery manufacturer is important. There are many laptop manufacturers that advertise extremely low prices for laptop replacement laptops over the internet, Amazon and Ebay. Many of these low-price companies are based overseas and are not subject to safety and manufacturing standards to ensure lower costs. When a consumer is evaluating potential replacement suppliers, they should be able to contact the manufacturer's representative, not the seller. This information is carefully hidden from consumers through various tricks, such as giving them only an email address.
It is not worth paying extra for branding and labeling in laptops before repairing a laptop battery yourself.Even top brand laptop batteries are made with third party components. In truth, most brand name laptop parts are made using various components from other companies.
Laptop batteries determine the performance of a battery. They consist of three main components:
Rechargeable batteries. Printed circuit board. Battery case.
The quality and safety characteristics of each of these parts will determine the overall quality, life and performance of the replacement battery. Laptop batteries are the most expensive component in batteries. Cells are classified into classes and fall into categories A, B, or C. A class A battery from a well-known manufacturer (such as Samsung or LG) generally lasts longer and has better performance than a class B battery.
Expected battery life. High quality components lead to longer loads. Life expectancy for any laptop battery may vary depending on usage. In general, a laptop battery will provide between 400 and 800 life cycles, depending on usage and battery quality. Poor quality or poorly manufactured batteries provide fewer cycles and shorter overall life:
Top quality batteries (Class A cells) - 12-18 months. Medium quality batteries (class B cells) - 10-15 months. Poor quality batteries (class C cells) - 5-10 months.
Video (click to play).
Warranty coverage for laptops. Since most batteries fail within the first few months, it is important that the purchaser is covered by a warranty for at least one year after purchase. Therefore, he should always check the documents for the battery.
