Many laptop users complain: soon after purchasing the equipment, the battery begins to drain faster and faster. Not even a year passes, – say “lucky ones” like that, – because the battery usually “commands to live for a long time”.

What’s up? Many blame the poor quality battery, others blame the laptop, others suspect that the advertised ones were never sold. In fact, in most cases, such a problem arises due to improper use of the equipment by the users themselves.

Let’s see what errors negatively affect the operation of the laptop, in particular, reduce the “life” of the battery.

Battery mode is broken

If you use the laptop at home almost all the time, rarely taking it with you, it is better to take the battery and connect it to the network. When you need to take the equipment with you – just insert the battery.

By the way, it is worth remembering that the battery should not be idle for a long time. Therefore, if possible, fully charge and discharge at least every five days.

Laptop is not constantly on a flat surface

For example, you only use it on the sofa or bed. In this case, you’re most likely unknowingly sealing where heat escapes from the laptop. Such an action eventually leads to equipment failure.

in the sun

Another reason is that the laptop is often exposed to sunlight, which causes it to heat up, which negatively affects the battery. And not just on him. The processor, hard disk and video card are damaged.

in the cold

If the laptop is constantly in sub-zero temperatures, it may cool to the freezing point. Only 20 minutes in the cold – and problems with the screen and hard disk will begin. And the battery drains very quickly. If the notebook is regularly exposed to cold, the battery may not last and charging may stop.

Sleep mode and network

If you keep the laptop in this mode often instead of turning it off, the battery will start to drain faster. It will also drain quickly if you don’t disconnect the laptop from the network with the same consistency when you’re not working on it.
