Lithium-ion battery technology: Getting the most from Smart Batteries Abstract .............................................................................................................................................. 2 Introduction ..............
Abstract This paper tells HP notebook users how to get the mo st out of their lit hium-io n rechargeable batteries in terms of run time and lifespan. Detailed in this document are important facts about Li-Ion batteries, information about HP Smart Battery Technolo gy, and proper battery care practices.
Battery cycle life Battery cycle life is the total numb er of discharge-charge cycles (Fig ure 1) a battery yields before it can no longer hold a useful amount of charge.
Warranty perio d HP provides a 12-month warranty for Li-Ion batteries. The warranty period is based upon the expectation that the battery will deliver 80% of its in itial capacity after 300 cycles at low to moderate power loads. High power loads may cause a battery to reach 80% of initial capacity in less than the 12-month warranty period.
Smart Battery Technology Estimating battery run time is furt her complicated by the inaccuracy of the system that monitors a nd reports the battery charge status to the user. Some notebooks estimat e the battery charge state based on manufacturer testing of the specific product model with a particular configuration.
Battery care practices After reading the information presented in this pap er, users should be aware of conditions that negatively impact battery run time and lifespan. In summary: • Li-Ion battery cells suffer gradual, irreversible capacity los s with ea ch discharge-charge cycle.
