BatteryCare - Extend the life of your laptop battery

Some people use a laptop more but not everyone knows how to care for and protect the batteries properly. With the help of BatteryCare and effective advice, users will have more experience to extend the life laptop battery.

BatteryCare not only helps users manage battery life on my laptop use, but also to know the details such as the amount of power left in the battery, the battery charging time, battery level of the bottle ... and even offers a few small note to extend the life of the battery using a laptop.

BatteryCare is software created to optimize the usage and performance of today's laptop batteries. It is capable of monitoring the battery discharge cycle, provide information detailing  the battery, and helps increase battery autonomy while increasing its lifespan. BatteryCare also function temperature monitoring CPU and hard drive. In addition, it is integrated timing modes battery with reliable data. 

New in the latest BatteryCare:

• New feature : Announcement lists the key features included in the new version.
• Improved temperature reading function Intel Core : Now read all of the core and the highest display.
• Bug fix language in some dialogs.
• Bug fix : Icon Tray is not updated after a long time in battery mode.

Function:

Subscribe discharge cycles of the battery

• Advanced algorithm accurately records the time done a discharge cycle.
• When the number of discharge cycles is installed to the limit, will show up balloon notifications to remind implementing comprehensive discharge removed.

Complete battery information

• Estimated time remaining according to statistics in the laptop without supporting information remaining battery time and percent loading lists.
• Show all detailed information such as battery capacity, consumption, manufacturers, ...

Read temperature CPU and hard drive

• BatteryCare continuously monitor CPU temperature, and your hard drive, both in units degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit

Convert automatic power plan

• Depending on the computer's power supply, BatteryCare can automatically choose the power plan you prefer.

Control over Windows Aero and services required

• Automatically deactivate theme accelerated graphics in Windows Vista and / or the required service reduces battery life.
• When your laptop on battery power outage, a theme that will be reactivated and the service has stopped will be restored.

Information notification area

• Wear features a compact popup with the information necessary to help you quickly track temperature, load status, time remaining and the power plan.

Automatic updates

• No need to download the new settings, when a new version is offered, the program will automatically update.

Lightweight in the system

• With the concern about the battery optimization, BatteryCare not interfere with the system performance.It only requires 0.1% of resources the microprocessor and memory.

A few notes:

- Should I remove the battery while using an electrical outlet? These are very common questions a user's laptop. And the answer is 'Yes' and 'No'.

Leave a fully charged battery when using power and not harmful to the battery, because with new technology, when fully charged battery 100%, it will automatically disconnect and do not continue to receive power in (from source plug), so it will not fall prey to pin as many bottles of worry. Also, keeping the battery in the machine will ensure that users avoid data loss when working in the event of unexpected power outages.

However, users who use the machine for a long time with great intensity (such as gaming), making the machine more radiating heat (temperature of the CPU, hard drive at around 60 ° C) should be removable battery out of the machine to avoid high temperatures affect battery life.

- Keep the battery: in the absence of battery (or not use a laptop) in a long time, you should use the remaining battery level of 40%, then disassemble the battery from the laptop and keep the battery in a dry place and lost.

Refrigerators can use to store your laptop battery (at temperature 0-10 degrees C), however, provided that the battery must be kept in moisture-proof and waterproof box.

One special thing to note, the high temperature is "enemy number one" of the laptop battery, therefore, absolutely not leave your laptop in areas where the temperature is too high, such as in a car to the days of summer is the fastest way to ... "kill" your laptop battery.

- Charging / Discharging batteries properly: You should only charge the battery when the battery level at 20-30% and should only discharge the battery after a long time using and discharging conducted safely, correctly as directed above.

With the help of the same few notes BatteryCare small, laptop battery life can be prolonged.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT BATTERYCARE

After installation, the software icon appears in the system tray. If battery mode, the icon of the software will be displayed as the total remaining battery (in%) and the total remaining time of the battery.

Double click on the software icon to display the main interface. On the main interface of the software, in addition to information on the extent and duration of the battery, the software also provides detailed information about the temperature of the CPU and hard drive. Based on this, users will be using the laptop mode is safer.

On the advice of the experts, the battery discharge (use until the battery reaches 0% and the laptop automatically shut down) is absolutely not recommended, and may even be harmful to the battery. You should only use the battery to the level of 20-30%, then proceed to charge the battery is full again and continue to use.However, sometimes, the user still must perform battery discharge and recharge your laptop from scratch. But what are the appropriate time and manner how to implement secure? On the main interface of BatteryCare, you will find items Discharge Cycle progess .
 

So What Is Discharge Cycle progess? It is considered one of the battery discharge cycle. For example, your battery is reaching 100% of the energy, today you used one less, until the next day to use more one less, and only until the battery reached a 20- 30%, you proceed to charge the battery fully again, and then again using the above, then you will gain 1 "cycle battery discharge" (discharge cycle progess). when the parameters of BatteryCare progess achieved discharge cycles 30/30 levels, that's when you take the battery discharge to 0% to start charging from the start. This is the outstanding advantage of BatteryCare help users to extend the life of your laptop battery. Guidance battery discharge: Follow the steps below to conduct safe battery discharge:




 

• Charging the battery fully (reaching 100%).
• To pin "rest" for 2 hours, using a laptop via a fixed power (or do not use your laptop).
• Then, using a computer (with energy from the battery) continuously until the battery is only 0-3% level, the computer will automatically shut down or hibernate.

Note: If you do not have to use a laptop as continuously until the batteries run out, you can hook your computer to depleted energy source.

• When the computer is turned off completely, go to a quiet state machine (not open the machine, unplugged ...) for a period of about 5 hours or more.
• Finally, plug the battery power to fully charge a laptop and use as normal.

Note: You only conduct discharge after notification BatteryCare items Cycle Discharge progess reached 30/30, which means you do not just do this too often, only a few times in January. For more information about batteries use: To get the detailed information about laptop batteries which are used, such as the manufacturer, the maximum amount of power it can accommodate, the current power, the level of the bottle .... you select tabdetailed Infomartion BatteryCare on the main interface.


 

Here, the entry model is the name of the manufacturer, Level Wear items display the current level of the battery bottle ... Based on this, you will know you are using the batteries have to be genuine batteries, and the level of the battery bottle has reached a critical level or not. Additionally, items Dates See also show the most recent point of time you have to conduct discharge, as well as the number of times that you have carried out the battery discharge. .. to facilitate the management of charging / discharging the battery.
