Power Laptop Could Get New Life

serg — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 20:10:13 +0000

The tech world is developing quickly, and so is the laptop power technology. The today’s result of laptop power packs research is a gradual switchover from lithium iron batteries to portable fuel cells.

Media Bay Fuel Cell

We can trace the respected activity of some power source makers and be aware of what we are to have soon. For instance Panasonic’s purpose is to create a methanol fuel cell enabling a laptop to work for 20 hours, but this promise is planned by the company only in two-three years.

The more working hours for cell-phone talk is already offered by Medis Technologies Ltd., it has issued a 1-watt liquid borohydride fuel cell recharger with the above-mentioned potency. But the 24-7 Power Pack when exhausted has to be recycled, not refuelled.

Anyway some analysts do not expect the wide commercialization for fuel cells, the switchover will go a bit at a time. The new technology should be standardized. And nowadays some companies manufacturing laptop power units are moving toward their products other than fuel cells, but enabling enlarge their capacity as well. For instance silver-zinc batteries are expected from Lenovo, and their capacity will be 20-30 per cent higher than that of a conventional lithium ion battery.

We used to make notice that after recharging a laptop battery for a long time it gets green. It is because a user should replace it more often. The green colour shows you that the battery is becoming exhausted. The more recharges are made the shorter is the working period of a battery. Chief Executive of Boston Power Christina Lampe-Onnerud says:

“With most batteries, you get four hours. A few months later, it’s two hours and then later it’s one hour. The biggest disappointment with notebook computers is battery life and performance”.

HP is known as a user of Sonata batteries produced by Boston Power. HP is going to resell Sonata in some users’ netbooks as an upgrade option. They say:

“It does not come standard with any notebook”.

The consumers will be able to choose between building the batteries up as replacements and taking them as an upgrade option. Sonata batteries, as its producers say, has only one process compared with the common ones which have a number of processes, and the heat which is generated by Sonata, is the result of the generated wasted energy.

A three-year working warranty is given to Sonata batteries. And according to Lampe-Onnerud this period is longer than for other average ones. Moreover they have additional safety features. She said also:

“If it is really damaged, I don’t want it to work again”.

There is also bonus, Sonata battery can be charged to 80 percent capacity in about 30 minutes. And it takes one or two hours to get to 90% capacity for common notebook batteries. In conclusion of this short story it is suffice to say that nowadays Boston Power is producing their batteries in Taiwan and soon is going to make them in China as well in a newly constructed plant.

If you do not think that you can go out and buy laptop batteries right now, then you need to keep the factory one that comes with the laptop. Although it may not be the best, it is still going to be better than the crap ones that you buy. I try to not let myself get fooled into thinking something is better than it really is, however, if you just read about the battery then it is going to happen to you. That is why I cannot say this enough, be sure to read a few different reviews about the battery before you get it. This could end up saving you a lot of time and money.
