how to correctly use Apple Powerbook G4 battery

Got a new battery, many users of the approach is in accordance with the business prompted the use of lithium batteries in the first three or more 12-hour charge. In this line there are a lot of controversies, in fact, this is for the majority of laptop battery is not necessary. Why? Businesses that do so in order to fully activate the cell activity, a new battery fully wake up.



For this reason it sounds very full and credible, but we have not thought about this issue. If, notebook battery manufacturers have not yet been activated on the play, such products can be said that only a semi-finished products. Can not require each user to activate cells to master skills, and can not in reality. As a result, the factory battery manufacturers have been fully activated. How are users 12-hour rechargeable Apple PowerBook G3 Battery life in favor of it?



I give a negative answer, the current laptop battery power management has a sound management system and charging circuit, when the battery reached saturation, the control circuit automatically switches to short-circuit state, so just after the time is a waste of time only. How can this activity to activate the battery? In fact, the vendor for the battery to activate the overload protection in case there is no battery charge and discharge time. Therefore, the first three 12-hour charge is unnecessary.



In the second, many users use the battery very confused, what should not have to wait until the batteries run out completely before recharging. In fact, this question should be answered is that if you can This is certainly a good thing, but the premise is that you too troublesome. Of course, I am talking about here is not referring to the excessive discharge, Practice has proved that excessive battery discharge is harmful, it will shorten the battery life. When the notebook prompts therefore low power consumption can be a timely charge. Some business has repeatedly stated that its lithium-ion battery without memory effect, this practice is extremely irresponsible. So when your battery power when there are more, or not to charge for the good, because the memory effect does exist.



Third, do not have the Apple PowerBook G4 Battery for a long time how to do so, it is recommended 40-50% of electricity into, placed in the shade at low temperature, the following parameters can explain the problem.



Storage temperature of 40% state of charge 100% state of charge



(0 degrees 98% (a year later) 94% (a year later)



25 degrees 96% (a year later) 80% (a year later)



[40 degrees 85% (a year later) 65% (a year later)



60 degrees 75% (a year later) 60% (3 months)



(Percentage of saturation at the time the relative percentage of the initial value),



Of course, the best month to come up with to use a battery, the Apple A1189 battery can ensure a good state of preservation, but also does not allow the loss of electricity damage to the battery completely.



Fourth, the use of notebook computers in the notes to the "use of one month after the release should be a full-charge" approach is necessary. Li-ion laptop batteries are generally with the management of chip and charge control chips. Management chip which has a series of registers, there is capacity, temperature, ID, state-of-charge, discharge frequency values. These values are in use will gradually change.



I personally believe that the use of notebook computers in the description of "the use of one month after the full charge should take a" major role in the practice should be amended is inappropriate in these register values, making the battery charge control and battery with a nominal capacity of the actual situation. So this kind of work or can not be omitted, after all, high-priced notebooks or aristocratic effemination.
