14 ways to make your sony vgp-bps8 laptop battery last longer

22 Dec

We all know the feeling; you need to finish some work on the train but your sony vgp-bps8 battery has but seconds left and the charger is still on your desk. So how can you avoid it?

Logic will tell you that playing games or watching DVDs on your sony vaio laptop might just be a slight drain on its battery life. But what else can you do to use your power pack more miserly? Here’s 14 top TechRadar tips to make your vgp-bps8 battery life a whole lot longer:

1. Turn everything off

It might seem straightforward, but you’d be amazed at how many people walk around with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi switched on. Turn them off when they’re not in use – which is even easier if you’ve got a hardware switch or keyboard shortcut to do it.

2. Dim the screen

Running out of power fast? Turn the screen brightness down; you’ll be amazed at how much juice it saves. That’s because your screen is the most power-intensive component in your sony laptop.

3. Unplug unnecessary kit

If you don’t need to have a flash drive or host-powered hard drive plugged in, take it out. This is doubly important for USB wireless adapters, 3G data cards and USB sticks as well as chargeable items such as phones and iPods; they can be very draining.

4. Optimise Power Options

In XP and Vista, visit Power Options in your Control Panel. If miserly power consumption is your top priority, ensure this is reflected in the settings there. Make sure you turn off your screen and hard disk after a short period of inactivity.

5. Battery care

Lithium-Ion sony vgp-bps8 laptop batteries don’t need a complete discharge (contrary to popular belief) but also you should use a battery once you’ve charged it. If you have a spare you keep topped up, use that instead of your main regularly. If you have an older non-Lithium-Ion battery, you’ll need to regularly discharge it.

6. Don’t work your graphics chip hard

Change your screen resolution and, if you’re in Vista, you can also switch off the fancy graphics. Some dedicated laptop graphics chips can be quite thirsty, though this is improving. Nvidia’s latest 9400M from the MacBook still has a power consumption of 12W.

7. Get more memory

Give your laptop a break. If you’re using intensive apps that usually require a lot of virtual memory, you’d be better off buying more RAM (though it’s worth noting that more memory will need more power). Virtual memory isn’t too efficient when it comes to battery life; it spins your hard disk more.

8. Get your priorities right

Working on an important presentation? Only one hour of battery left? Well what are you doing listening to iTunes and opening and closing emails. If you’ve got one important thing to do, do that – as a result of you not running your notebook into the ground your battery will last longer, too.

9. Hibernation is better

If you’re going to be leaving your sony vgp-bps8  laptop for a long time, hibernate it rather than leaving it to sleep. This still saves the current state of the desktop, but means your machine completely switches off.

10. Take CDs and DVDs out of the drive…

Reduce optical drive spin by removing that disc. When it spins every time you wake up your laptop or start it up again, you’re using more power.

11. …and don’t install apps from disc on the move

Try to reduce the time you use optical drives to a minimum; they can be pretty power hungry and installing apps from CD or DVD can have an instant effect on your battery life indicator.

12. Mute your speakers

Playing music at loud volume? Even if you’re not, your laptop beeping every time it gets an email and starting into Windows can be a drain. Switch it to mute if you’ve no need for sound.

13. Keep your hard drive lean

Remove rubbish files from your hard drive and defragment it regularly (while it’s plugged in). The less leg work the drive has to do, the better your battery life will be.

14. Reduce background apps

Having clever stuff like Desktop Search and media software running in the background can be handy, but such folly makes your laptop work harder and run out of power faster. The same goes for scheduled tasks.

Of course, you could always get yourself a newer, more efficient laptop.

How to buy a decent laptop battery in the online markets?

07 Dec

Do you have nothing to do with so many many lapop batteries in the markets onlines?

You might be cofused which one you should buy, I hope the following tips could help.

(1).  In general, genuine sony vgp-bps8 Battery can be guaranteed to provide at least one year warranty.

(2).  for battery for six months or three months Warranty, because their manufactures used relatively inexpensive materials, omitted critical testing procedures, no complete incoming data for material, process, shipping detection, control processes and equipment, therefore, they have to make vague commitment to guarantee for three months or six months.

(3).  For the promised one-year warranty, how to distinguish between genuine and fake ?

A. to see if there is a clear quality assurance, and the specific provisions made in writing to the customer’s.

B. Are there formal Qualification?

C. Take a look at their shipping areas. Most of the decent vgp-bps8  Battery company have their markets all over the world.

(4). A company can only produce one product. Therefore, if an enterprise can provide warranty 3 months, six months, one year products, it is likely that there might be a fake commitment to quality.

Because there is a lot of huge difference between three-month warranty sony battery vgp-bps8 and one year warranty in the procurement, quality control, technology. Especially for the quality control systems, they are completely different.

Most of clients complain their bad one year warranty sony vgp-bps8 laptop battery in the internet.  It is likely that when they buy a year product warranty, but they just get a three-month warranty battery. The point is that Many customers just pay more money.

SONY VGP-BPS8 Laptop Battery Use and Maintenance

20 Nov

1) How to activate the new sony vgp-bps8 batteries

Prior to the opening of the new animal cells, plate surface, there will be a certain degree of oxidation. The longer the storage, oxidation more serious. After adding the electrolyte, there will be rapid warming, the charge will show greater resistance to charging difficulties. Therefore, the opening of the new sony vgp-bps8 laptop battery should be done: filling the electrolyte, the static discharge of about 6h until completely saturated with the electrolyte plate, the temperature dropped to below 35 ℃, and then connect the power to charge; charge current is tightly controlled within prescribed limits , such as high temperature during charging, more than 45 ℃, the charge current can be reduced or stopped charging; for 1 ~ 2 times charge and discharge cycles in order to achieve rated capacity.

2) how to conduct the beginning of a new battery charger

The sony vgp-bps8 battery positive and negative power supply respectively, then positive and negative, first with the initial charge current charge to the electrolyte release air bubbles, single-cell voltage to rise to 2.3 ~ 2.4V. Then the current drops to 1 / 2 the beginning of the charging current to continue to charge to the electrolyte release violent bubble, the proportion of electro-hydraulic and voltage remain stable until a continuous 3h. Full charging time is about 45 ~ 65h. Charging process should always measure the electrolyte temperature, if the temperature is too high, can be current half, vgp-bps8 battery to stop charging or cooling method, temperature was controlled at 35 ~ 40 ℃. Initial charging is completed, if the proportion of irregularities in the electrolyte, the application of distilled water or electrolyte specific gravity of 1.4 and then adjust the charge 2h, until the proportion of compliance so far. The new battery charge for the first time often do not meet rated capacity, should be charge and discharge cycles. With the rated capacity of 1 / 20 of the current discharge from a single cell voltage down to 1.75V, and then add sufficient charge current. Following a charge and discharge cycles, if the capacity is still below 90% of rated capacity, should make another charge and discharge cycles.

3) How to maintain sony battery vgp-bps8

a. sony vgp-bps8 battery during use, water evaporation and electrolysis of water charging both would reduce the surface, so every 5 to 6 days in summer and winter every 10 ~ 15 days should be checked once a liquid height, and then need to increase distilled water. In addition to leakage caused by lower surface, the are not allowed to add electrolyte, or the proportion of the electrolyte will be higher than 1.300, resulting in shortened battery life. Battery sony vgp-bps8 liquid level should be higher than the plate 15mm, easy to spill liquid level is too high, corrosion around the parts, there is likely to positive and negative pile conduction, causing self-discharge; liquid level is too low, easy to expose the upper plate surface, not only sony bps8 battery capacity will decrease, and the exposed plate will soon be curing.

b. in the use of batteries due to different working conditions, often charging less than the phenomenon of (especially short-distance vehicles). One of the following conditions should be to supplement charge:

① the proportion fell to 1.200 below the electrolyte;

② winter discharge Chao Guo 25%;

③ summer discharge Chao Guo 50%;

④ lights dim;

⑤ weak start. Supplementary charge in two stages.

The first stage of the rated capacity of 1 / 10 of the current charge, to a single cell voltage of 2.4V, the electrolyte until the bubble began to release, which normally takes 10 ~ 11h. The second phase will halve the current up to date enough, it generally takes 3 ~ 5h. If the proportion of electrolyte irregularities, should be adjusted, its methods and the beginning of the same charge.

c. Winter batteries sony vgp-bps8 should be noted:

① piling and wire electrical connector to ensure a solid connection, good contact;

② to install insulation in the battery device, so as to avoid the temperature is too low, resistance increases;

③ the proportion of the required adjustment of the electrolyte;

④ in the engine running the engine when you add distilled water to the battery charger in order to avoid uneven mixture of water and electrolytes caused by ice;

⑤ cold start the engine preheating should be carried out, each start-up time of no more than 5s, starting to be repeated intervals 15s, if the three start – unsuccessful, should be carried out checks, do not blindly re-start;

⑥ always keep enough power to charge storage state, to prevent the electrolyte reduced the proportion of the ice, and even damage to batteries.

4) How safe operation when the battery maintenance vgp-bps8 battery in the warranty, they should observe the following safety requirements:

① moved when the light-light battery can not be skewed in order to avoid electrolyte splashed on clothing or skin, causing corrosion or burns. If they are splash, immediately flush with water.

② Check the electrolyte specific gravity and surface height, so that a little straw to leave the entrance of the electrolyte injection can be, not to mention too high in order to avoid electrolyte spill.

③ to prohibit oil containers and various metal objects on the sony vgp-bps8 battery housing.

④ In the preparation of electrolyte should be used when ceramic containers, and sulfuric acid slowly into the water, the absolute prohibition of water poured into the sulfuric acid so as to avoid splashing sulfuric acid burns the skin and clothing, and even the container burst causing the accident.

5) how to make the battery discharge

The new vgp-bps8 battery to charge and discharge cycles and test batteries ability to work, the basis having regard to discharge a certain standard to test whether the battery rated capacity. sony battery Rated Capacity 1 / 20 of the current discharge from a single cell battery voltage of each of 1.75V, and 2h at the beginning of each measurement time after discharge voltage, the voltage down to 1.8V voltage drop after the result of faster, should be 15 ~ 20mim a voltage measurement , the voltage down to 1.75V, it should immediately stop discharging, or voltage drop dramatically to the “0″ so burn plate, causing difficulties in the next charge. Discharge many ways (such as the use bulbs discharge, with the variable resistor discharge, discharge with the electrolyte and using a lower voltage battery discharge), can be selected according to specific conditions. In the discharge line, you must access ammeter in series, parallel on the voltage meter so that timely observations voltage value, lost no time to stop discharging.

6) how to reduce battery capacity to do

Sony battery vgp-bps8 charge, use of time is not long enough to save electricity, starter rotation weakness, difficulty starting the engine, speakers, sound volume reduction, lighting is dim, with high rates of discharge of dollars checklist cell battery voltage is lower than 1. 5V, namely, reduce the battery capacity. Generating capacity should first check whether it is suitable voltage regulator is too low, whether due to long-term storage battery self-discharge, whether to use starter too often, is commonly used because of their low electrolyte liquid electrolyte instead of distilled water by adding batteries, if you do not above-mentioned problems, should open the battery cover and check whether the lack of electrolyte. If the liquid level is too low and too long, so that exposed part of the plate curing, they should check out plate. If the surface of plate showing a layer of white lead sulphate, explained that it had vulcanization. If, after taking the plate, pour the electrolyte in the vgp-bps8 there is too much off the bottom shell plate active material or other impurities, indicating that these substances caused by a short circuit between the plates, causing inadequate capacity.

7) How to diagnose battery charge storage capability, decrease fault

Drop charge storage capability, commonly known as “run electricity”, the main phenomena are: day before power is still close enough to keep car the next day starter on the weak rotation; engine flameout time for a little longer, then start there are difficulties; lights dim, the loudspeaker does not ring. Should check whether the battery wire Datie. If Datie, available high-rate discharge single-cell voltage meter to check each hour inspections. Such as the start voltage reaches a certain value, it became an instant rapid decline, seriously nowadays down to 0, indicating short-circuit fault between the plates. Open the battery vgp-bps8 cover should be used extract the electrolyte tube, such as the electrolyte turbid, indicating the electrolyte impurities. You should remove the plate, out of partition observation, such as a perforated partition, indicating the failure was caused by perforated partitions. In addition, the surface should also check the battery electrolyte is dirty, and whether there is overflow.

8 )  How to prevent battery explosion

In the beginning of a new battery charging, discharging process, water is broken down to produce a large number of hydrogen and oxygen, if not promptly released, it will face sparkle 1K500 battery explosion.

① should always check and clear the sony battery cover of the vent stuffed to ensure that internally generated emissions of the gases out of time;

② the internal battery connections and electrical connections on the pile should be firm, in order to avoid electric discharge;

③ try to avoid piling on the battery power scratch fire, so as not to detonate;

④ first opens the battery segue, and then check the high rate of discharge of dollars.

9)  How to use batteries instead of battery

The car is not damaged when the battery or batteries can be used instead of 6 to 8 dry batteries  bps8 battery. Methods were: dry batteries together, one end of the Da Tie the other end to pick with a wire coil on the ignition switch terminal, and then quickly shake his hand crank the handle, you can start the engine. When the engine reaches a certain speed, confident that when the generator can supply, and then removed.

Laptop battery charging and discharging parsing errors

15 Nov

Misunderstanding number one: number of charge cycles the sony laptop battery life of the first two decisions: Myths 2: The new notebook need to charge and discharge the third question: Misunderstanding number three: the depth of discharge can enhance the battery capacity, Myths 4: Long-term do not have to be periodically charging and discharging a misunderstanding : number of charge cycles the battery life decisions

Notebook in order to ease access to users favor, whether it is business office, travel, or travel use, with vgp-bps8 batteries you can place in any office or entertainment, but the need to rely on mobile usage time of sony vgp-bps8 battery life, which will affect battery life in addition the capacity of the bps8 battery itself, but also with the daily charge and discharge operation is very much related, unfortunately, many friends of the laptop battery sony vgp-bps8 charge and discharge, there is always a lot of errors, on-line knowledge, there are many misunderstandings, in order to correct notebook battery charging and discharging of the errors, the author following a few typical examples in particular to explain.

Misunderstanding number one: number of charge cycles the battery life decisions

Jack buy SONY VAIO VGN-FZ series notebook more than a month, and occasionally need to use battery-powered outside, and sometimes in the bedroom, he take the power to use, in order to save trouble, he did not take off the battery, but with the battery case of the use of direct access AC , he was told that such a sony battery use methord will seriously affect the battery life, because every time then all the power to recharge a battery charging 3 to 4 times a day, the battery sony vgp-bps8 was only 500 charge cycles, chances are Less than six months, the battery can scrap it, so their laptop battery life is 500 times number of charge cycles, that is, even if only a day to recharge the batteries, they can only use less than 2 years, so he had to use power when they had to take Under the battery has.

Power management software detects the number of battery charge

Clearly, from the sony vgp-bps8 battery to maintain perspective, to remind Sally’s not without reason, in normal use, it should minimize the number of battery charge, after all notebook batteries have memory effect, part of the charge (less than 100%) would result in battery power chemical properties of cores are inconsistent, if often several times a day Plug Power, and the laptop is equipped with batteries, which means that Plug Power will be charged once each, and each recharge a battery, battery charge in the charge cycle times ( also known as life) is reduced once, eventually lead to the battery can not be filled with sony vgp-bps8 battery power, endurance time reduced, which is why a lot of friends in their own notebook battery can only reach 80%, while the endurance of 3 hours from the original variable become a 1 hour more.

Number of charge cycles will affect the battery life too much

Number of charge cycles will affect the sony battery vgp-bps8’s life do? In fact, conceptually speaking, the number of rechargeable batteries and battery life, are not directly related, but the final decision is that the battery life of the battery charge cycle, if we find out “charge cycles” and “charge cycle” between the two, to understand how different story. Refers to the battery charge cycle is from the first time you use or the depth of discharge, the depth of discharge to the next life. The number of charge cycles is a charge cycle, the number of times the energy charge of electricity, in general, in a charge cycle, lithium battery recharge cycles between 400 ~ 1000 times, but the lithium batteries are generally 100 to 300 charge cycles , while the bps8 battery charging time for each will be subject to memory effect, the battery’s internal chemical activity composition of a substance will not disappear, the number will continue to charge the battery to the other charge cycle to complete.
