Question: Should I Remove the Laptop Battery For A Desktop Replacement Laptop?
I have a laptop at home which I use as a desktop replacement. As such, 99% of the time the
laptop is being used it is plugged in. I wonder if I should remove the battery so that it is not
permanently being charged, or does the laptop cut off the current to the battery once it is fully
charged? I do unplug the laptop when I turn it off.
Answer:
When using a laptop as a desktop replacement the battery should not be left in for long
periods of time. The laptop will over time discharge the battery. Remove the Dell laptop
battery – making
sure that it is charged to 40% and store it in a dry, warm place. Ensure that it is wrapped
protectively and nothing will be dropped on it.
The IBM thinkpad battery should be re-installed every 3-4 weeks and allowed to fully
discharge. Leaving a battery in storage for longer than this without using could cause the
battery to fully discharge as the circuitry of the battery itself consumes power.
Leaving a battery in a laptop while using an electrical outlet for long periods of time will keep
the battery in a constant state of charging up and that will reduce the life cycle of the battery.

10 Laptop Battery Basics
Take care of your Sony laptop battery and ensure that it will be ready to work properly when
you need it most. Some general tips for laptop care include: avoid extreme temperatures, don’t
leave a laptop outside in cold weather or leave it in a hot car. Cold batteries can’t create very
much power and hot batteries will discharge very quickly. Use electrical power when available
to keep battery charged. Don’t let your laptop go for long periods of time without using the
battery.
1. Smaller Is Better Consider an ultraportable or thin-and-light rather than a desktop
replacement laptop. Smaller displays use less power. Going with a hard drive that runs at
4200rpm uses less power than a hard drive running at 5400rpm.
2. Power Control Use as little power as possible by adjusting laptop settings. Use the Power
Options to set to the laptop to go inactive after a set amount of time. Set adjustments so that
the display goes off first, then hard the hard drive stay active a bit longer and store the system
content’s to the RAM.
3. Turn Down the Lights Adjust the display brightness to a lower setting, make sure you can
view the screen without squinting. You can also adjust the brightness of the display to suit the
conditions you are working in.

4. Watch Your Battery Use Keep an eye on your HP Pavilion DV6 Power Laptop Battery
consumption and know how much power you have remaining. Use the
battery power
icon on the system tray or you can purchase batteries which have LED gauges on the outside of
the battery itself.
5. Charging It Up Whenever you have access to a power source, charge the battery. Before
you leave on any trips, fully charge the batteries, especially if you don’t know where or when
you might have access to any electrical outlets.
6. Get Another Battery Some laptops are capable of running with two batteries. If you cannot
run two batteries, check with the manufacturer to see if there are high capacity batteries
available. External batteries can also be used to extend operating time.
7. Drain the Battery The first time you use your laptop with battery power, allow the laptop
battery to completely discharge. Do this at least twice and don’t try to charge the battery when
it is half discharged.

8. Clean Batteries Keep the battery and its connections clean and free of debris. Clean your
battery terminals on a regular basis using a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol on the tip.
9. CMOS Battery Check-Up The backup battery is a CMOS battery which is a secondary
battery to power the clock and can drain a main battery if it is dead. Check with your User
Manual or manufacturer’s web site for the location of the CMOS battery and where to get a
replacement.

10. Turning It Off Don’t run programs or devices that you aren’t using. Remove PC cards and
turn off Wi-Fi software. Using your laptop to watch movies or play games will drain the battery
quickly as well.
