Types of Replacement Batteries:

Nickel Cadmium Replacement Replacement Batteries. These were the first rechargeable replacement batteries. They were relatively inexpensive, had high output and versatile, because they could be used in a wide variety of products. However, NiCd Replacement Batteries have now been abandoned by laptop manufacturers with the introduction of more efficient and lighter-weight Replacement Batteries.

Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Replacement Battery

is a big improvement concerning power output, reliability, cost, safety and capacity. The "memory effect" is one issue with NiMH replacement batteries which require them to be fully discharged before recharging to gain maximum output. These Replacement Batteries can still be found in some computers.

Lithium Ion (LiON) Replacement Batteries.

This type of Replacement Battery has become very popular for many laptops since the "memory effect" has been eliminated, and they are much lighter. However, they are more expensive.

Replacement Batteries Cycles.

One battery cycle is used every time a battery is charged or discharged. Technically speaking, it is defined as the number of cycles a battery can perform before its nominal capacity falls below eighty percent of its initial rated capacity. Lifetimes of 500 to 1200 cycles are typical. For example, NiCad battery has a cycle life of 500-1000 or more cycles.

Replacement Batteries Run-Time.

Battery run-time depends on a number of factors. Most of the time, it is the design of, and the power demands made by the machine that determines the actual battery run-time. For example, use of the screen, the hard drive and other accessories will significantly influence the duration of the run-time.

Optimizing Replacement Batteries life.

1) Condition is a term for fully charging and discharging a new laptop battery to maximize performance and allow it to reach its maximum rated capacity. NiMH and NiCd Replacement Batteries need to be conditioned at least once a month to reduce the memory effect.
2) Metal connecters should be cleaned occasionally to maintain good conductivity
3) Ensure that device's power management features in the BIOS and Operating System are optimized, turning off the screen, using speed step
4) Store the battery in a cool, dry, clean place if you're not going to use it for a month or longer.
5) Never expose your replacement battery to heat, moisture, short-circuit, drop or physically abuse it.
