All batteries have a finite span of life to provide energy to their related products. Same is the case with the laptop batteries where their battery life refers to the time period to which the laptop battery is able to supply power to the laptop. Batteries are very delicate device which should be properly maintained and taken care of. Here are a few important tips that can help you to increase the life of your laptop's battery.
1. People generally put their laptop on charge while working long hours during their routine work.
2. This means that the laptop charging is being done for a long time. This is not good for the battery. As a matter of fact, this actually shortens the life of the battery.
3. Sometimes, it so happens that the battery gets completely drained out while watching a movie. The duration of time taken by the battery to get completely drained should be compared to the time period when the battery was new. This time period lets us know the present performance of the battery. Thus to increase the batteries life, one should drain out the battery's life completely before charging it and then charge it completely before using it again.
4. If the laptop is not being used regularly, then the battery should be preserved till its next use. While preserving the battery, it should be charged up to at least 40 percent. Fully charged batteries should not be stored for a long time. The laptop battery should be wrapped in a cloth when not being used and kept away from light and water.
5. While preserving the battery of the laptop when not in use, it should also be remembered not to overstore the battery. Whether the battery is being used or not, the power is being consumed by it. Hence it is better to use the battery in some time interval.
6. Also while carrying the laptop during a trip, certain factors should be kept in mind. It should be remembered to edit the settings in the laptop related to the power consumption. The monitor of the laptop consumes the highest amount of power. Thus the brightness of the monitor, the backlight can be adjusted to save the power.
7. The battery should be discharged completely at least once in one month. This improves the life of the battery.
8. Preferably, the power cord that came with the laptop should be used to charge the battery rather than other labeled power cords. If in any case the cord has to be changed, then it should be bought from an authorized dealer.
9. Unnecessary programs and laptop software which are running at the backdrop of should be shut down to save the power.
10. The laptop can be kept in the standby mode when it is not being used. This will save a lot of power and thus increase the life of the battery.
There are many other beliefs that are followed by people to increase the life span of the batteries. Some of the above mentioned tips really help to increase the life span of the laptop's battery and so should be followed strictly.

The laptops are foldable portable computers which look like a book. The first laptop is believed to have been designed by William Moggridge in 1979. Later a better designed laptop was promoted in 1983 by Manny Fernandez. Historians consider this laptop to be the first functional laptop computer. Basically three types of batteries were used in these laptops. The Lithium-ion batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, and the nickel-metal Hydride batteries are the three types of batteries used ever since the invention of the laptops. The nickel-cadmium batteries are the oldest types of batteries used in the laptop computers. After the nickel-cadmium batteries, the nickel-metal hydride batteries were invented. These offered about 30 percent more performance than the previous batteries. The Li-ion battery is the latest technology used in the laptop.
Of these three types, the Li-ion battery is mainly used in the new today's laptops. Overcharging a battery occurs when the charger keeps the battery at a higher temperature (warmer than the body temperature) during the normal working condition.
The Li-ion batteries are managed differently than the older batteries made from Ni-Cad in the previous laptops. The Li-ion batteries used in the laptops usually have a controller chip already built inside to prevent the overcharging of the batteries. If the voltage while charging the battery is above 4.30 V, the battery cell will cause lithium metal plating on the anode in the cell. Also the material of the cathode acts as an oxidizing agent and loses its stability and thus releases oxygen. If the batteries are overcharged they can also cause explosions. Overcharging the laptop destroys the battery potentially rather than affecting the lifespan of the battery. The lithium battery should never be allowed to get hot while charging. If this happens, then it is evident that either the performance of the battery has decreased or the charger is not working properly.
Sometimes due to the constant laptop charging static electricity is created which causes problems during shutting down of the laptop. Also due to such problems it may also affect the laptop's motherboard. The laptop will not shut down nor will it go to the standby mode. The laptop screen would just hang up on the 'Windows is shutting down' screen or the screen would just black out during a restart which during extreme situations may need the laptop screen repaired. Sometimes the laptop software's also get affected and their working becomes slow.
Thus the tips to charge the laptop and increase the life span of the laptop's battery should be followed properly.
