Tips for Maximizing Your Battery Life Your ThinkPad battery is a "Consumable" product that decreases in performance over time. However, there are several things that you can do to improve the performance and life of your battery. Here are some tips to help maximize your battery life:
1. If your battery is left out of the system for a long period of time without charging, or if the system is not plugged in for several months, it will take longer to charge.
2. Make sure that you are using the correct AC adapter for your ThinkPad model. Using the incorrect adapter will prevent the battery from charging fully, and will cause the battery meter to display incorrect battery information.Use the proper AC adapter for your ThinkPad computer. There are several types of AC adapters for ThinkPad, 56 watt or 72 watt. If insufficient power is supplied to your battery, the full charge capacity will appear to be reduced.
3. Recondition your battery by letting your battery run to less than 3% at least once a month. Reconditioning the battery can restore some of your battery capacity.Reconditioning The Battery
4. When the computer uses a large amount of electricity from the battery (for example, for intensive calculations or high-end graphics applications), the temperature of the battery and the computer may rise. In this case, the battery might automatically stop charging to so that the battery operates at a level that ensures comfortable usage and normal battery life. If the battery has stopped charging, it might not start charging immediately when you plug in the AC adapter or it may take more time to completely charge. When the battery is restored to its normal temperature, the battery will start to recharge.
5. Do not place your battery or your ThinkPad in a high temperature environment, such as a car on a hot day.
6. Battery performance will be temporarily degraded if the battery is used in a cold environment.
7. When you store your battery outside of your ThinkPad Computer, store it with a charge of less than 50% to reduce the battery wear.

1.如果电池久未使用,充电时间将会延长。
2.使用与机型相匹配的电源适配器,否则将导致电池无法完全充电或电量显示不正确。
3.每个月至少一次让电池电量降到3%以下,可以恢复部分电池容量。
4.高负荷工作后电池温度升高,电池充电过程可能会停止,温度恢复正常充电过程将继续进行。
5.不要将机器置于高温环境,如汽车仪表板与风挡玻璃之间。
6.低温环境电池性能将暂时下降。
7.贮藏电池前请将电池电量放电至低于50%,以减缓电池损耗。
8.使用Battery MaxiMiser软件延长电池使用时间。
