This stage is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. Laptop battery cases are mostly connected with glue. This makes them extremely unrepairable. There are models that are assembled on latches, but this is an exception to the rule. There are even solid plastic cases. In order to get to the battery cells in such models, you will have to cut them, and after repair they glue them.
But most of the battery housings are adhered to. To disassemble them, it is recommended to slightly warm the plastic along the seam and gently knock with a hammer. Next, pry the plastic along the seam with a scalpel, knife, screwdriver and gradually open the case. Be careful not to pierce the plastic or damage the lithium cells. This could cause them to ignite.
After you disassemble the case, the first step is to visually inspect the battery assembly.
Check the controller for burnt cells and the batteries themselves. Normal cans should be free of 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 you can get them out of the stupor, then good. If not, then battery repair will involve replacing cans.
If you have to change battery cells in a battery, first draw up an assembly diagram for your battery. That is, sketch out the arrangement of the elements with the designation of the positive and negative pins. Also draw on the paper the connection of the assemblies, the places where they are soldered 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 an 18650 battery.
It is difficult to give advice for all occasions here. You need to look at what kind of batteries they are in each case. Most often, lithium 18650 batteries with a voltage of 3.7 volts and a capacity of 2200 mAh (2400, 2600) are installed in a laptop battery.
After the new batteries are found, you can start replacing the cells.
After soldering and all operations on assembling the battery, check the voltage at the connector terminals. The value should be close to the nominal value for your battery. After that, the body is assembled. If it has latches, then everything is simple. If the body was glued or solid, then the task will be more difficult. We'll have to glue it with some kind of plastic glue or universal. If it does not work, you can try to fasten it with electrical tape.
The battery is then inserted into the laptop and charged, if necessary. You can carry out a couple of charge-discharge cycles, drive the battery with some programs. You can see the programs with which the laptop battery is calibrated. Now do-it-yourself laptop battery repair is complete.

In conclusion, a few words about how to properly operate your laptop battery.
If you often turn on your laptop from the outlet and use it mainly at home, then release the battery from the load. Charge it and take it out of the laptop. Your laptop will run smoothly from the AC adapter. The only drawback with this approach is that in the event of a power outage, you will not be able to save data, unless you work through a UPS;
If you do not use your laptop for a long time, then charge the battery by 50-60% and store it separately. Keep it away from direct sunlight or near heat sources. Perform a charge-discharge cycle of the battery every 2 to 3 months;
Adjust your laptop and operating system to conserve battery power. This is setting an energy-saving mode, dimming the display (without sacrificing comfort), disabling Wi-Fi and other wireless modules if they are not required.
Laptop batteries are expensive hardware, so if you have an old laptop that works fine but needs to be replaced, then before considering discarding your dead laptop battery and replacing 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 restore a dead battery, some of them are technical in nature, some of them are beautiful and there are some strange ones.
It actually 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 therefore extend its life. To do this, follow this procedure, how to do it:
Step 1: First, take out the battery and place it in a sealed bag or plastic bag. Step 2: Then place the bag in the freezer and let it sit for 12 hours. (You can also leave it for a longer period, but not more than 24 hours) Step 3: Once you remove the battery from the refrigerator, remove the plastic bag and let it warm up to room temperature.
Please note: as soon as it gets warm, make sure you wrap it in a towel and wipe off the condensation. Step 4: insert the battery and charge it fully. Step 5: Once it is charged, disconnect 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 the battery worse. Unfortunately, there is no way to repair a lithium battery, but it might help to extend the 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 does get hot during use, it can damage the battery and shorten the battery life.
I have personally tried this method on my Sony VAIO laptop and has greatly increased the battery life of the laptop.
This process is not necessary for a new battery, but if the battery dies, it is a fairly old battery. So, in this case, the intertesting 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 does not charge up to 100%, and let's say only up to 95%, or if the OS says that you are experiencing 35 minutes of battery charge, but the car dies sooner or much later, then your laptop battery needs to be calibrated. There are many calibration tools available online for your particular laptop model to do the process automatically, but if you need to manually calibrate your battery, follow the process below.
Step 1: First, charge to 100% or to the maximum value that the battery can reach and then leave it to cool for 2 hours. Step 2: After that, cut off the power and let the battery drain. 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 at about 3 to 5%. In addition, you must ensure that the display stays on until it either turns off or goes to sleep. Step 3: next, let the machine be off for 3 to 5 hours> then turn on the laptop again and charge to 100%.
Hopefully after that, 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 plugging in.You need to check how the laptop will function normally with the battery removed. Although, if the laptop is working fine and is 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 as the battery is cool when connected.
In this method, you need to charge the battery to 100% and then disconnect the laptop from the mains and when it dies (less than 5%), then connect it to the computer and charge. On the contrary, it will shorten the battery life on a new lithium-ion battery; therefore, in this case, the level cannot be allowed to fall from 35% to 45%, and then charge it from 75% to 85%. This will apparently aim for better battery life, as this method will not use as many charges and recharge cycles.
If the laptop battery charging lamp no longer lights up even while connected to the network, the problem is either in the charger or in the battery. Everyone knows that when a laptop battery finally fails, it can be very difficult, and often impossible, to pick up exactly the same one, because previous models quickly become outdated. 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 an easy one 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. Also, it does not matter which model the computer needs to replace the battery: you can buy the same batteries for the Asus laptop as for the HP laptop without overpaying for the brand or logo.
First of all, it is important that the number of batteries corresponds to 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, nominal voltage, internal resistance and type of battery. All these parameters are usually stamped on the laptop itself and the battery pack. As for the type of laptop battery, all laptop PCs now use advanced lithium-ion batteries.
It is recommended to set the capacity of cells for laptops either nominal (the one that was in the 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. Disconnect old batteries carefully from the case, taking into account that the adhesive materials can be very strong. It is important not to damage the controller board and wiring. It is necessary to separate batteries from electronics from a large plus sign to a small one, and to determine where which sign is, you can easily visually.If you have difficulty with the determination, you can use a multimeter.
Before starting the welding process, the batteries are connected together at night: with a positive charge - to positive, and with negative - to negative, which is necessary to equalize the potential on them.
First of all, they should be soldered together according to the same principle as the previous ones, and at first you should not rush to throw away the old bundle of batteries: it will never hurt to look at the soldering principle. Despite the fact that brave electronics enthusiasts fearlessly weld the battery bundle with an ordinary soldering iron, it is still strongly discouraged to use it. The fact is that the conductors are soldered until the soldering point 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 device for micro-spot welding. When using it, welding takes place very quickly, in a split second, and the batteries simply do not have time to heat up during this time. There is another option: to order in the workshop a bunch of batteries with already welded petals, and at home you can weld the petals in the right order with a soldering iron.
After the new elements have been welded, you should not immediately rush to solder them to the electronics. Before that, be sure 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 old data.
The process of resetting the previous controller data (in other words, flashing), in theory, can only be carried out by experienced electronics specialists. But, thanks to the existence of a special program Battery EEPROM Works, this do-it-yourself laptop battery repair becomes possible. It is carried out dozens of times easier and is accessible to a large number of applicants.
The EEPROM chip containing the memory is connected to the charger. The RESET button is pressed, and the software will do all the other options automatically. The capacity of the battery (Full Charge Capacity) will show the real capacity of those batteries that are now. The Cycles Count is reset to zero, the date also becomes the one that is in the laptop at the moment. The Permanent Failure Flag is unlocked and any other necessary changes are made automatically. This clears the battery controller database and is ready to accept the new battery pack.
After completing all manipulations with the controller, the battery is finally inserted into the laptop to check its operation and then recharged. To see how the battery is charging, just look at its indicator, which is in the laptop itself. But it is best to install the BatMon program for this purpose. Wait a while for the battery to be fully charged. Read how to charge a laptop battery without a laptop here →
When the battery is 100% charged, create in Windows, in the "Power supply" section, a new circuit called test. With it, for the convenience of work, the screen remains on at all times. All signaling devices should be turned off. Launch the BatMon program, disconnect the charger from the computer and monitor the battery discharge curve, which should descend smoothly, without hesitation. If the curve goes down normally at first and then fails, the new batteries are bad.
Next, you need to wait for the moment of independent shutdown of the laptop and put the battery back on charge. It is recommended to carry out such cycles at least two or three. It is important to take into account that after the very first cycle, a rapid drop in the curve downward can occur, and then the laptop can work at 0% for a long time because the self-shutdown option was temporarily disabled.
After working like this, the computer turns off, but there is no need to panic. The electronic circuitry of the battery has not yet recorded where the main "points" of the batteries are located, providing their charge and discharge. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a cycle of full charge and discharge, at least 2-3 times - to ensure the correct operation of the battery's electronic circuit.
Largely due to the creation of certain programs that allow reprogramming 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 "ruining" new batteries. If these two conditions are met, the risk of failure becomes significantly less, and the opportunity to do a useful job on your own is much greater.

Each user, when choosing which laptop to buy, pays attention to the main factor in the duration of its operation - the power and quality of the pre-installed battery.
A powerful battery will keep your computer portable for a long time. Several years after the operation of the laptop, it becomes noticeable that its life in a state of being disconnected from the mains has significantly decreased. Laptops with faulty batteries become unable to work autonomously even for 15-20 minutes. The surest way to fix an old battery problem is to purchase a new one.
The main and most common cause of poor laptop battery performance is wear and tear. However, battery malfunctions can occur not only due to aging. Other causes of battery failure:
Incorrect charging method.
Incorrect operation.
Moisture penetration into the computer, in particular the battery.
It is extremely important for every user of a portable laptop to have comprehensive information about how and how not to charge and connect your device to the mains. Avoid plugging your computer into an electrical outlet all the time. This should not be done if the battery is fully charged. The battery should work cyclically: 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 improperly charging your laptop battery will significantly reduce battery life and cycle life.
A battery breakdown may occur when the laptop stops charging or is partially charged. In any case, third-party intervention is required. If the warranty period for your device has not yet expired, then it makes sense to contact a specialized service center to obtain professional computer support.
Remember that each battery has a different 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 back to life frankly old batteries. 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 operates from the mains, but does not want to function autonomously, you should check the device software for errors and, if possible, eliminate them as much as possible.Possible solutions to the problem:
Doing repairs yourself should only be done if you are well versed in the battery operation scheme and understand its principle of operation. Doing so could damage important contacts inside the battery and make final repairs more costly.
To begin with, you should consider the principle of operation of the laptop battery. The main and most common types of laptop batteries:
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 to charge up to one hundred percent. This should be done only for the first third of the battery life. If you do not follow this simple rule, the reserve of such a battery will very quickly be exhausted. You can find out what type of battery your device has by taking out the battery. The view will be indicated on it.
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 or charge the laptop too early.
Polymer lithium. Due to their low weight, such batteries can be charged even if they are not fully discharged. The service life of such batteries is longer than that of other types of similar products.
In order to start repairing a damaged battery, you must first take it out and disassemble it. It should look something like this:
In ninety percent of all laptops, the battery cannot be disassembled, so you need to carefully cut the plastic case into two halves using a knife or blade. Care should be taken as there is a possibility that important battery cells could 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 (NN) 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 the 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 collect the battery, insert it into the laptop. The malfunction should disappear.
Thus, you can repair all laptop batteries, however, before starting the repair yourself, watch a few videos on the Internet. In which the battery is disassembled of the same type as your computer. If you are experiencing difficulties in repairing, it is better to contact a specialist.
Often laptop users are faced with the fact that in the middle of charging the battery, the process stops. When you hover over the battery icon, a message like this appears: "The power supply is connected, but the laptop battery is not charging." In fact, nothing serious happened and every ordinary user can solve the problem. The cause of the malfunction is the incorrect turning on 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 until the system is fully loaded. Connect the charger. Thus, the error disappears and the PC starts charging again. This type of malfunction can occur from time to time.
I bought the 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 argue that it will be necessary to carry out some manipulations with the controller.About a year ago I bought another laptop battery pack in China, but it worked for a rather short time, the batteries in it began to lose their charge very quickly.
Basically, 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 recharge and operate the battery pack.

In fact, recovering a laptop battery is a simple process if you have experience with power tools, as well as knowledge of the battery operation process and the tools to complete the task. By following some simple tips, laptop users can quickly do their own laptop battery repairs while saving $ 100 on buying a new one.
Laptop batteries are made up 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, experience with electronics is required to avoid the risk of electrical shock, as this type of battery can explode. It is imperative to take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of the repair.
Before disassembling, make sure the laptop battery is completely discharged. Once the charge is completely depleted, you need to double check your 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 flat screwdriver and a utility knife. Once the battery case is open, you can analyze the type of batteries required and learn the wiring diagram for installing them. Before disassembling, 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 when opening to take all measures to prevent deformation or breakage of the plastic case of the battery. Replacing cells. Use a voltmeter to make sure old cells are fully discharged before removing them. This will prevent possible electrical shock. Use the model number on the battery to find the correct 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 explode. Once the battery case is closed and placed back in the laptop, it needs to be fully charged.
Laptop batteries are made up of lithium cells called 18650 cells. They do not last forever and have a lifespan of about 2 years. If the laptop is fully charged but doesn’t even charge for half an hour, the cells inside the battery are dead.
With your old laptop battery in stock, some wires and tools like a wire cutter and electrical tape, you can start rebuilding your laptop battery yourself:
Open the old battery and take out 6 cells, which are in parallel connection 2 x 2. Check the voltage with a multimeter of your own battery. Typically, a battery voltage less than 3.6 volts indicates that they need urgent replacement. 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 circuit, replace them with working cells. Collect the circuit on your own battery.The battery pack will also have 4 wires - 1 negative and 3 positive (one attaches 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 apparatus 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 can cause an explosion, and not all types of batteries can be repaired.
These tips apply mainly to DIY lithium-ion type laptop battery repair. The repair consists of the following stages:
Cooling down your computer. Re-calibrate the battery. Awakening the sleeping lithium-ion unit.
If your laptop's battery starts to drain quickly, you can try to cool the computer further.
Many laptop batteries today are equipped with lithium-ion cells, which need to stay cool so that the battery will last longer. If this part shows clear signs of slowing down because it has become too hot, you should immediately turn off your computer and cool it down.
When hot operation 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 its battery.
If the operating system is confused about battery capacity, it means that it may need to be recalibrated. The main reasons for this problem are:
the battery is not completely discharged; the user keeps the laptop on at all times.
Regardless of these reasons, there are two ways to fix the problem when repairing a laptop battery with your own hands.
The first is to find an online battery calibration program with a tool designed and released by the manufacturer specifically for the laptop model you are looking for. If the required software is not found online, you will have to use the second method and manually recalibrate the battery:
Charge the battery to the maximum value it can reach. Let it cool for 2 hours and discharge completely. After the laptop has been completely turned off, do not turn it on for the next 3-5 hours. Turn on the laptop and charge the battery to the full - this time it will be able to reach 100%.
Lithium-ion batteries contain a protective circuit that protects the battery from over-discharge accidents. The transition to sleep mode can occur when the lithium-ion packaging is stored in a discharged state for any period of time when the self-discharge gradually depletes the remaining charge. Depending on the manufacturer, the Li-ion protection circuit is disconnected 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” function to re-enable 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 storage of lithium-ion batteries presents a clear uncertainty, then manufacturers recommend keeping them in a 40-50% state of charge. 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 structural defects, but is caused by various software malfunctions in the computer, in particular due to damaged drivers.
This malfunction 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 with your own hands. Remove the main driver, first select it and then click on advanced options, click on "Uninstall" and "Confirm to remove device" to completely uninstall this driver from the laptop. Turn off the laptop and install the battery in its place, and then start the laptop again. After doing this, the problem will most likely be resolved. If the problem is still not resolved by the above solution, then it is quite possible that the operating system registry has been 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.
You can try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) to correct the problem. Restarting Mac in Recovery Mode:
Go to the menu in the upper 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 (Log) from the menu and click Erase, then boot your PC as usual.
Shut down your Mac. Disconnect the power cord from the PC. Hold the power for 10 seconds and release the button. Boot your PC as usual.
Note! It may take slightly longer than usual for the download to start after resetting the SMC.
Based on their experience with battery repair, users share their tips:
Some laptop batteries require a constant power supply to protect important data in the device's memory. When replacing cells in these types of batteries, it is necessary to provide a secondary voltage by connecting a 100 ohm resistor to erase the old data. Only when installing new cells can the user remove the resistor, and then start repairing the laptop battery with his own hands. When replacing cells, only rechargeable batteries of the same charge can be used (difference within 10%). Cells with different chemical base, age or capacity 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 / discharging or repairing a lithium battery, a protection circuit must be used. Copper shunts can form inside cells, which can lead to partial or total electrical short circuits. When recharged, such a cell may become unstable, causing excessive heat or other abnormalities, including exploding.
Knowing these secrets of quality laptop batteries can save consumers hassle and money when doing DIY laptop battery repairs.
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-priced companies are based overseas and do not comply with safety and manufacturing standards to ensure lower costs. When a consumer is evaluating potential suppliers for replacement, it should be possible to contact a representative of the manufacturer of the product rather than the seller. This information is carefully hidden from consumers through various tricks, for example, providing him with only an email address.
You shouldn't pay extra for branding and labeling in laptops before doing your own laptop battery repair. Even the leading brands of laptop batteries are manufactured using components from third parties. In truth, most branded laptop parts are manufactured using various components from other companies.
Laptop batteries determine battery performance. They have three main components:
Rechargeable batteries. Printed circuit board. Battery housing.
The quality and safety characteristics in each of these parts will determine the overall quality, life and performance of the battery to be replaced. Laptop batteries are the most expensive component in batteries. Cells are classified into grades and fall into categories A, B, or C. A grade A battery from a well-known manufacturer (such as Samsung or LG) will generally last longer and perform better than a grade B battery.
Battery Life Expectancy. High quality components lead to longer loads. The life expectancy for any laptop battery may vary based on usage. In general, a laptop battery will provide 400 to 800 life cycles, depending on the usage and quality of the battery. Poor quality or poorly manufactured batteries provide fewer cycles and a 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).
Laptop warranty coverage. 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.
