Computer batteries are specifically designed for each computer brand and model. AtBatt.com offers a complete line of batteries and compatible replacements for most notebook computers. We have developed a Computer Battery Select Technology™ that will guide you in choosing the correct battery and ac adapter for your computer. Your first step is to choose your computer manufacturer from the list below.
Achieve Maximum Computer Battery Performance on the Road Computer batteries are crucial when working on the road. To get maximum performance from your computer battery, fully optimize the computer's power management features prior to use. However, there is a trade off when setting your computer power management. You will achieve better power conservation in exchange for lesser computing performance. The power management system conserves the computer battery power by setting the processor to run at a slower speed, dimming the computer screen, slowing down the hard drive when it's not in use and causing the machine to go into sleep or suspend mode when it is inactive. Your computer user's guide will provide information relating to specific power management features.
Increase your Computer Battery Life Did you know that detaching your main computer battery from your computer would increase your computer's battery life up to 75%? Our experience and testing have shown that even when you are plugged in with your computer ac adapter and your battery is fully charged, the computer will still use the computer battery resources in small increments. This will put unnecessary charge cycles to your battery. Since typical li-ion computer batteries have 375 charge cycles, having a fully charged battery inserted will put unnecessary charge cycles. The downside to removing your computer battery maybe a loss of power when the ac adapter is accidentally unplugged or when there is a power outage.
