Easy Methods to Extend Battery Life Information on refurbishing batteries at home.
Any battery used for an extended period will fail , however users often
encounter the difficulty of untimely battery failure. This situation can be
easily avoided if you follow some simple tips.
Most people think that if they power down their devices, battery life will
be extended . Unfortunately, this often results in the opposite outcome .
Devices consume more power when they are starting, so turning the device
off is not always the best way to preserve the battery.
Follow the recommendations below for improved battery life:
Cars, Trucks, Boats, Etc
MP3 Players, PDAs, Laptops, Etc
For any battery, the most important factor to consider is the temperature .
Ensuring that the battery is not exposed to high heat can extend the life.
High temperatures lead to faster chemical reactions. In addition to the
temperatures, a reduction in the number of discharge/charge cycles
drastically helps battery service life.
Vehicles
The best way to extend the life of a car battery is to keep the battery
charged at all times. It is also essential to protect the car battery from
high under the hood temperatures . A proper case or heat shield can protect
the battery. It is a good idea to check the electrolyte levels in the car
battery on a regular basis during hot months.
A rising trend seems to be for car manufacturers to relocate the battery to
be stored in the passenger compartment or in the trunk as a way of not
storing it in the engine compartment to enhance the life. Obviously the
battery stays much cooler if it is not stored in the engine. This strategy
improves battery life as well.
Electronic Device
Battery life can be increased for cell phones, laptops, PDAs, mp3 players
etc. by turning down the brightness when it is not needed. For example,
when using these devices in a dark room, it is not necessary to set the
brightness to 100%. The brightness can be lowered enough so that the screen
can be seen without exerting any strain on the eyes can be done. The amount
of time the backlight stays on can also be decreased. For iPods it doesn’t
have to stay on for
