New replacement laptop batteries from LA SoftSync Sdn Bhd (www.lasoftsync.com) are shipped in a discharged state and must be fully charged when you receive your new battery. Charging your new battery overnight is sufficient to give your new battery a full charge.

A new battery may cause the battery power icon on your computer to indicate you have a low battery condition. We recommend that you let the battery charge overnight in your notebook computer.

It may be necessary to remove and reinstall the newly charged battery and restart your computer with the battery installed in order for the computer to start up and properly recognize your new battery. Some laptop model requires you to go into BIOS setup once and save changes to register the new battery.

Li-ion batteries will wear out over time, providing shorter battery run times. You can extend the life of your battery by providing some basic ongoing maintenance.

Your new battery should be charged and discharged 3-4 times during the first month. This will properly engage the battery to hold its maximum energy.

After the first month you can maintain the battery energy capacity by discharging and recharging the battery every 3-4 weeks.

Laptop battery cells suffer gradual, irreversible capacity loss over time. Such aging occurs more rapidly as temperature and discharge loads increase. Here are some suggested ways to minimize the capacity loss for your battery.

• Store Li-Ion batteries between 20°C and 25°C (68°F and 77°F) with 30% to 50% charge.
• Do not leave batteries exposed to high temperatures for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to heat (for example, inside a hot car) will accelerate the deterioration of Li-Ion cells.
• Remove the battery if the notebook will be stored (turned off and not plugged into AC power) for more than 2 weeks.
• After the battery is stored for a time period, it is necessary to perform an effective charging/discharging cycle for the battery to ensure a reasonable service life of the battery.

Inside the laptop battery is microprocessor software, which calculates the battery volume during the charging/discharging. Short discharges and recharges do not fully synchronize the battery's fuel gauge with the battery's state-of-charge. This can result in the amount of power available in one cycle being less than expected or the battery meter being inaccurate.

Under normal usage, batteries should be calibrated at the beginning of use and minimum of once every 3 months.

Your battery can be calibrated by following these steps:

Step 1 - Disable the Windows Power Management

1. In Windows, right-click the Desktop and select Properties in the menu list.
2. Click the Screen Saver tab and then click the Power button.
3. Under Power schemes, select Always On in the drop down menu.
4. Under Settings for Always On power scheme, select Never in each of the drop down menus.
5. Click OK on the Power Options Properties window and then click OK on the Display Properties window.

Step 2 - Fully Discharge the Battery

1. Remove the AC adapter.
2. Keep the notebook on until the battery has completely drained and the notebook automatically turns off.

Step 3 - Fully Charge the Battery

1. Connect the AC adapter to the notebook.
2. Keep the AC adapter connected to the notebook until the battery has completely charged and the Windows battery meter is at 100%.

Step 4 - Enable the Windows Power Management

1. In Windows, right-click the Desktop and select Properties in the menu list.
2. Click the Screen Saver tab and then click the Power button.
3. Under Power schemes, select Portable/Laptop in the drop down menu.
4. Click OK on the Power Options Properties window and then click OK on the Display Properties window.

After completing the steps above, your laptop battery will be calibrated.

Your laptop battery life depends on the power capacity of your laptop battery and the amount of energy your computer draws. You can maximize your laptop battery life by changing the amount of power your computer draws while in battery mode. Here are some ways you can extend your battery life.

1. Set your system to run on Power Saving Mode.
   If you are a Windows user, within your Control Panel section you will find Power Options. In this section you can change power usage level. Choose “Power Saver” for Windows 7 and Vista; for Windows XP, under “Power Scheme”, choose “Maximum Battery”.
    
2. Cut down external devices.
   USB devices (including your mouse), Bluetooth and WiFi drain down your laptop battery. Remove or shut them down when not in use.
    
3. Minimize the use of CD/DVD drive.
   You can also extend your battery by minimizing the use of your CD and DVD drive operation.
    
4. Cut down on programs running in the background.
   Messenger, iTunes, Desktop Search, Windows Update, etc. All these add to the CPU load and cut down battery life. Shut down everything that is not crucial when you are on battery.
    
5. Add more RAM.
   This will allow you to process more with the memory your laptop has, rather than relying on your hard drive as virtual memory.
