How to Choose a Safe and Quality Dell Laptop Battery Replacement

Feb. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- My laptop has been used for 2 years.The battery can last less than one hours. So I need to replace it. I want to buy a dell notebook battery and How to choose a Safe & Quality Dell Laptop Battery? One of my friend share his online shopping experience with you.

First of all, choose the right battery for your laptop model or part number, like Dell Latitude D630, etc. Looking for a Dell laptop battery [ http://www.papatek.com/Dell-Battery/Dell-Latitude-D630-battery.html ]is not an overwhelming task any more, even if you have an older laptop model. If you are unsure of what battery replacement you need, you can get support from registering to join the Dell support forums to ask questions.

When choosing a battery, the main quality that you need to consider is the amount of energy that can be stored in a battery. This is measured in Watt- Hours (Wh). For longer runtime per charge, choose a battery with a greater Wh rating.  Higher Watt hours (Whr) on the same system under the same operating conditions will generally deliver longer battery run time. For example, if you compare the same system, running the same applications, the 53Whr battery would provide approximately 65% more run time than the 32Whr battery. What's more, used under the same conditions, a lower capacity battery will wear out faster than a higher capacity battery because it has to be charged more often.

Then check with third party sellers before purchasing your battery. Computer stores sell various new and refurbished computer parts at deep discounts, such as Papatek.com, ebay, etc. In addition, Papatek is a creditable online store for Dell laptop batteries replacement. It has an agreeable return policy and 12 months warranties.

Once you have purchased the right battery for your Dell latop, then you will store the battery for better preserving the life of your battery. There are a few tips: first, do not store batteries for long periods plugged into or attached to any power source. This includes AC adapters [ http://www.papatek.com/Delta-Adapter/Delta-PA-1650-02-AC-... ]and laptop security carts plugged into an outlet. Second, Laptop batteries, including those stored in laptop systems, should maintain an Operational Storage Temperature of 0° to 35°C (32° to 95°F). Meanwhile, batteries may be stored in the laptop or outside of the laptop. Pay attention to charge batteries before storing. The recommended charging time should not exceed 1 hour. Typically, this should charge the battery to between 80% and 100%. (Some discharge will take place over time. Stored batteries are expected to discharge 10-15% over a four month period, for your information.) Contrary to last decades' batteries, modern lithium ion batteries do not need to be fully discharged to maintain health. All batteries wear with use and time. When you find the runtime is no longer satisfactory, it may be time to purchase a new Dell battery.
