MAC using skills:apple laptop battery using guide
As long as you pay more attention to your laptop, you can lengthen the laptop battery life. Furthermore, adherence to the guiding information, it can make your laptop batteries have a long term optimization.
When your battery is exhausted (which means the battery has run out), your battery will be significantly shortened the time available (for example, reduced from the previous four hours to less than ten minutes) . Apple sold now, the design is in compliance with the premise of Apple’s proposal, even after 300 charge and discharge, you can still retain the original power reserve in more than 80%. If your battery is too short, can choose to purchase a new battery.
Most should be noted is, preferably use your laptop in the most appropriate temperature. In the summer, remember not to lock in the car. Apple’s notebook computers can be use your laptop in -25 ° C (-13 ° F) to 45 ° C (113 ° F) temperature, but should use in 10 ° C (50 ° F) to 35 ° C (95 ° F ) temperature range, and the best use of the air temperature is 22 ° C.
When you just buy notebook:
* Enough of your battery, and pay attention to the software update to download the latest system software. Sometimes Apple will release a laptop battery can significantly improve system updates.
* Your laptop requires frequent use and mixed-use charge and out of power. Apple does not suggest that you will always be inserted laptop charger. Ideal scenario is to use the train from the power supply used in notebook computers, in the office after this charge.
If your home or office using a desktop computer instead of on the laptop, I suggest you thoroughly and completely sufficient to exhaust the battery, this battery completely exhausted and sufficient capacity should be at least once every month. ICal you can add a prompt message. (Based on predictive information, such tips are expected to Mac OS X v10.5 “Leopard” within the pre-equipped in the system, the computer may automatically remind you.)
Battery calibration
Frequently and regularly calibrated battery will keep your battery has a long and effective use.
If you have a iBook, PowerBook G4, MacBook or MacBook Pro, you can refer to Apple’s Chinese (Simplified) guidelines for battery calibration.
Other Macintosh notebook computers are basically the steps are the same: you need enough batteries (keep uninterruptible power), and then disconnect the battery, and from the power source until the system automatically sleep. In this time, do not charge. After that, you need to recharge until the battery is full, this time not to power. After the battery calibration process is basically over.
Preservation
If you do not plan to use the next six months, your notebook computer, Apple recommends you remove and retain over 50% of battery capacity; and if you save an exhausted battery power, this may be a battery into a “deep discharge” state, it can not retain any power. If you save a fully charged battery, which a battery discharge state may also occur in the future re-use of electricity could not achieve the full amount of the past. Save 50% at full battery charge when requested to note the save at the right temperature.
Older laptops, such as Macintosh Portable and PowerBook 100 on behalf of early about laptop use Lead Acid (acid) batteries. 2 to 3 months, it should still have enough power in the use of laptop computers. 12 to 18 months, this battery can still add new capacity. Please note that when this type of battery discharge was complete, the chemical appears to reflect, within the battery completely destroyed, it can no longer be a battery for future use, as it has been unable to bring new power of the.
Apple’s past use of NiCad batteries should be in 1-2 months, still can be used to retain sufficient power notebook computers. Save 12 months NiCad battery, still may add new capacity.
Apple previously used NiMH (NiHy) batteries such as NiCad batteries, as in 1 to 2 months, still can use the laptop to retain sufficient power. Save 12 months NiMH (NiHy) batteries, can still bring new capacity. However, if you have a PowerBook 500 series of notebook computers, to use the Intelligent Battery Recondition software to “wake up” a storage battery was the depth of discharge.
Now, all Apple laptops use LiIon batteries, these batteries in 1 to 2 months, still able to retain enough power to use the laptop. Save 12 months LiIon battery can still add new capacity.
Non LiIon battery in 24 months, LiIon battery in 12 months, may not re-accept the new power injection, then this battery can be are “scrap batteries.” In discarding these batteries, be sure to pay attention to your country (region) related to battery disposal and environmental laws.
Best Set
You can set up various systems to improve and optimize the use of your notebook battery:
* System Settings in the “Energy Saver” settings in the “battery” settings “optimization” settings can be selected, “long battery life,” and selected sleep, and other settings. “Sleep” settings, it will be “to make the computer sleep time when it is inactive for” and “so that the display surface, when the computer inactive time” parameter set lower, and select “if possible so hard to sleep “option. In the “Options”, can be selected “in the use of this power is to reduce built-in display brightness” and “in the display to sleep automatically reduce the brightness of the display before the” two options.
* Display brightness: In order to further increase battery life, screen brightness should be reduced. Mac is now in the market notebook computers, can press the F1 (darker) and F2 (brighter) button at any time to adjust. A case on the plane: If the aircraft has been lights out, watching the DVD when you can choose to reduce your screen brightness.
· AirPort wireless network: even if you do not use AirPort to connect to a network is being used, or even if you do not use it to find an available wireless network, an open AirPort wireless networking system will cost power. You can choose to close it.
* Bluetooth wireless capabilities and other network interface: You can also turn off the Bluetooth function, and if the other does not need to use Ethernet network interface. They might be consuming power.
* Audio: do not need to listen to music or other video, audio content, press F3 to mute the computer status.
* Applications and accessories: Close do not need to use applications, and disconnect the equipment not in use. If your computer has CD-ROM, without using it, you can remove it.
* Cautious application: avoid using the consumption of large programs, such as some Microsoft applications. You can use such as system programming language that comes with TextEdit. In addition, you can choose not to use the windows closed.
