Summer is here and with it high temperatures. Your PC can kinda stay cool when we play in certain parts of the country 50ºC, but your laptop… Poor him, especially if it is an old or even a new very powerful one. Which parts will suffer the most? The usual ones, but you also need to have an extremely important one: the battery. Therefore, we bring you simple indications to protect the drums of you portable that’s it summer so hot
Why do we place so much importance on the battery right now? Mainly because it’s the key component to keep everything working as it should and it’s also the element that degrades any laptop the most, even above the fans. It must therefore be pampered.
How to Protect a Laptop Battery in the Summer
As we always say, there are no miracles here, we should go to Lourdes and pray for luck. But since we’re nothing like a monastery, let’s go with some easy tricks that can save you some trouble. The first is very obvious: no soil, sand, towels or the like in contact with the base of the laptop.
We really like to take our laptop to the plate or in the field for various tasks, or to be in a hammock with this one on our legs. Well, that’s one of the main death issues at this time of year.
The reasons are very clear: momentary or permanent obstruction of the ventilation system, whether side, rear or bottom, or all of them at the same time. It is necessary to avoid as much as possible that the zones through which the air is introduced and extracted are obstructed or close to small particles.
The solution could be a base with fans that also help us with its posture and inclination, improving all aspects for very little money. That said, the second factor is also decisive and above all terribly harmful.
The sun is the main enemy of any component, especially laptops
If dust is a major, long-term problem in PCs and laptops, the sun is, but with an almost immediate effect. leave a laptop in the sun It’s a death almost announced. Although these have certain protection systems, suffocating heat will not prevent the battery from swelling or exploding in the worst case, while in the best it will degrade much faster.
If the laptop was on when it was in the sun, then we had a double problem, because to the temperature that the battery takes due to its exposure to the star closest to our planet, we must add CPU and GPU temperature. Therefore, a laptop must be in the shade, like any PC.
Finally, pay attention to the risk of short circuit due to excess humidity in the environment. Most modern laptops have systems that try to avoid electrical short circuits, but in environments with relative humidity above 80%, it’s really complicated.
