Laptop Batteries









Introduction about Laptop Battery



Like the AA & AAA Batteries, laptop batteries makes the charge to flow as a result of the Electrochemical reaction. It has positive and negative ends like other batteries.



Prior to the similarities of Laptop and simple batteries, they also has some differences as below -


  • Recharge ability

  • Laptop battery contains many internal cells

  • PCB(Printed Circuit Board) contained in Laptop battery

  • Difference in shapes






Standards

The manufactures talk about standard form factors - but a standard already exists. The standard size for laptop batteries is AA Li-Ion cell. But Laptop batteries and also contains more features then AA Li-Ion Cells.These batteries are enclose in a box of different fancy styles to eliminate heat damage potential.




Chemical Composition

From manufacturers point of view rechargeable batteries are not easy to design as compared to non-rechargeable batteries.

"In rechargeable battery, the electrochemical reactions are reversible. But in non-rechargeable battery, electrochemical reactions is not reversible. The electrochemical reaction consist of two sub-reactions as oxidation and reduction. In rechargeable batteries these reactions can be reversed while it is not possible in case other simple batteries."
If these reaction are not occurring properly then it can damage or short-circuit the battery.
Also laptop batteries are contains multiple internal cells. These can be arranged in series or in parallel in so as to supply the higher voltage to the laptop as it requires. Laptop batteries also contain a small circuit board to control the recharging status ob battery.


Laptop fire

A laptop may catch fore due to the short-circuiting in the Laptop battery. The overheating of the laptops or due to certain power failures your laptop may

catch the fire. So be careful about your Laptop batteries and power systems.









Changing your Laptop Battery

If your laptop battery need replacement and you don't want to go for spend a lot then you can do it by your self. The solution is to replace each cell inside the battery pack. It is noticeable that replacement cost of battery is about 1/3 or 1/4 the original cost. So it is the time to think about the replacement.
