TitanNotebook.com carries a broad range of
rechargeable Li-ion
Laptop Batteries,
Digital Camera Batteries,
Camcorder Batteries and
Battery Chargers. As your best sourcing of
Laptop Batteries, Digital Camera Batteries and
Camcorder Batteries for many years, we provide
our customers high quality products at wholesale
prices. All batteries are Brand New, Guaranteed
to Meet or Exceed OEM Specifications and Full 1
Year Warranty.
A new Li-ion battery usually comes in a
discharged condition (20% to 75%) and must be
fully cycled before use. Lithium ion chemistry
prefers partial discharge to deep discharge, so
it’s best to avoid taking the battery all the
way down to zero. Since lithium-ion chemistry
does not have a memory, you do not harm the
battery pack with a partial discharge. If the
voltage of a lithium-ion cell drops below a
certain level, it’s ruined. Upon initial use (or
after prolonged storage period) the battery may
require more than three charge/discharge cycles
before achieving maximum capacity. It is normal
for a battery to become warm to the touch during
charging and discharging.
Most of our
batteries are brand new third party products.
Brand new means new case and new cells. Third
party means they are not original batteries, but
we fully guarantee our batteries meet or exceed
OEM specifications, since our batteries also use
A grade cells and some items have more capacity
than original ones.
To maintain our
good relationship with manufactures, we must
keep high sales volume everyday. That's the
reason we have the most competitive prices in
current battery market.
Your new battery
comes in a discharged condition and must be
charged before use. Upon initial use (or after
prolonged storage period) the battery may
require two to three charge/discharge cycles
before achieving maximum capacity.
If the battery is not going to be used for more
than a month, it is recommended that it be
removed from the device and stored in a cool,
dry, clean place.
It is normal for a battery to become warm during
charging and discharging.
A charged battery will eventually lose its
charge if unused. It may therefore be necessary
to recharge the battery after a storage period.
Ni-Cad batteries
suffer from what's called the "memory effect"
This means that if a battery is continually only
partially discharged before re-charging, the
battery "forgets" that is has the capacity to
further discharge all the way down. To
illustrate: If you, on a regular basis, fully
charge your battery and then use only 50% of its
capacity before the next recharge, eventually
the battery will become unaware of it's extra
50% capacity which has remained unused. Your
battery will remain functional, but only at 50%
of its original capacity. The way to avoid the
dreaded "memory effect" is to fully cycle (fully
charge and then fully discharge) your battery at
least once every month. Batteries can be
discharged by unplugging the device's AC adapter
and letting the device run on the battery until
it ceases to function. This will ensure your
battery remains healthy. Ni-Mh and Li-Ion
batteries do not suffer the memory effect.
NiCad, Ni-Mh and
Li-ion are all fundamentally different from one
another and cannot be substituted unless the
device has been pre-configured from the factory
to accept more than one type of rechargeable
battery. The difference between them stems from
the fact that each type requires a different
charging pattern to be properly recharged. Refer
to your owner's manual to find out which
rechargeable battery types your particular
device supports.
New batteries are shipped in a discharged
condition and must be charged before use. We
generally recommend an overnight charge
(approximately twelve hours). Refer to your
user's manual for charging instruction.
Rechargeable batteries should be fully charged
and then fully discharged 2 to 4 times initially
to allow them to reach their full capacity.
(Note: It is perfectly normal for a battery to
become warm to the touch during charging and
discharging).
New batteries are hard for your device to charge
because they have never been fully charged and
are therefore unformed. Sometimes your device's
charger will stop charging a new battery before
it is fully charged. If this happens, simply
remove the battery from your device and then
re-insert it. The charge cycle should start
again. This may happen several times during your
first battery charge. Don't worry; it's
perfectly normal.
* If your battery still
does not work well after you try the above
steps, we strongly suggest you update your
notebook's BIOS. Our battery is generic, every
battery is compatible to lots of notebook models
and produced with latest version of firmware, so
the battery has no way to work well on notebooks
with old version of BIOS. In most cases,
updating the notebook's BIOS will solve the
problem.
Breaking In New Batteries
New batteries come in a discharged condition and
must be fully charged before use. It is
recommended that you fully charge and discharge
your new battery two to four times to allow it
to reach its maximum rated capacity.
Keep Your Batteries Clean
It's a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts
with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps
maintain a good connection between the battery
and your laptop.
Exercise Your Battery
Do not leave your battery dormant for long
periods of time. We recommend using the battery
at least once every two to three weeks. If a
battery has not been used for a long period of
time, perform the new battery break in procedure
described above.
Power Management
To get maximum performance from the battery,
fully optimize the notebooks power management
features prior to use. Power management is a
trade off: better power conservation in exchange
for lesser computer performance. The power
management system conserves battery power by
setting the processor to run at a slower speed,
dimming the screen, spinning down the hard drive
when it’s not used and causing the machine to go
into sleep mode when inactive. The notebook
user’s guide will provide information relating
to specific power management features. It may
also be necessary to update the BIOS of the
notebook in order to achieve maximum performance
especially if the original battery has a lower
power capacity (mAH). Please visit the notebook
manufacturer’s website for information regarding
BIOS updates.
There are two
ratings on every battery: Volts and
Milliamp-hour (mAh). The voltage of the new
battery should always match the voltage of your
original. Some of our batteries will have higher
amp-hour ratings that the original battery found
in your device. This is indicative of a longer
run-time (high capacity) and will not cause any
incompatibilities. Remember: in some cases, the
voltage will differ from the original battery.
This often happens when both a Li-Ion battery
and a Ni-MH battery are available for the
laptop.
The life of a
rechargeable battery operating under normal
conditions is generally between 500 to 800
charge-discharge cycles. This translates into
one and a half to three years of battery life
for the average user. As your rechargeable
battery begins to die, you will notice a decline
in the run time of the battery. When your
two-hour battery is only supplying you with an
hour's worth of use, it's time for a new
battery.
Battery run-time on
a laptop is difficult to determine. Actual
battery running time depends upon the power
demands made by the equipment. The use of the
screen, the hard drive, and other accessories
results in an additional drain upon the battery,
effectively reducing its running time. The total
run-time of the battery is also dependent upon
the design of the equipment. Generally, a new
Hi-Capacity battery will run 30% to 50% longer
than the old battery did when is was new.
There is a
possibility that either the notebook or the
battery is defective. The best way of
determining which one is by comparing either the
battery or the notebook to a known good one. For
example: If the battery does not charge at all,
yet another battery charges and discharges
properly in the same notebook, then we can
assume that the battery is defective. Or: If the
battery works fine on one notebook but not the
other, then it is the notebook that is defective
and will need servicing.
