THE portable battery It is one of the components which, as in mobile devices, barely evolved in almost two decades. Despite vital importance in mobiles and laptops, technological progress has not focused their efforts on this area.
Fortunately, if the processor manufacturers have done so, the manufacturers who, with each new generation, further optimize the energy consumption of their equipment for extend the battery life As much as possible without affecting performance.
This is one of the reasons why laptops include processors with performance nuclei and nuclei by focusing on energy efficiency. To these, we must add the arrival of processors with Arm architecture of Qualcomm which reaches autonomies greater than 8 p.m.
How long does the medium laptop battery last?
This is one of the questions that users who buy a laptop have in mind and that sometimes can motivate to choose one model or another. The battery life of a laptop depends on several factors that are not always linked to the manufacturer, as most of them use lithium batteries.
The useful life cycle of a battery is certain 1,000 load cycles. As this number approaches, the autonomy and the battery load capacity are reduced, shorten its autonomy with each new cycle. There is really no exact number that allows us to know until a battery can work more or less as the first day, because it depends on several factors that we show you below.
- Time of use. If we use the laptop every day via the battery when it is not really necessary to have a closure cap, it will deteriorate faster than if we limit the use of the equipment with a battery when it is really necessary.
- Conditions of use. If we use the equipment in the areas where the temperature is higher, something quite common in summer, the battery is heated more than normal, which affects an additional loss of energy added to the fact that the equipment must be continuously with the fan in operation to reduce the temperature of the interior.
- Do not use the equipment for long periods. If we plan to stop using the equipment for a long time, it is advisable to leave the battery about 50% instead of leaving the battery fully loaded. If you have noticed when you released your laptop, this is the approximate battery capacity that your team had when you bought. For something it will be.
One of the factors that has always been considered one of the guilty of rapid degradation of the batteries is to leave the laptop connected continuously, something that is really not. Windows, like laptop equipment, has a mechanism that Stop the battery load When it reaches 100% to prevent the charger from continuing to send the current to the battery. The battery only operates when we disconnect the current cable.
