A laptop is such a great tool for a student. Unfortunately the batteries don't last as long as you might expect and students don't always have access to a power socket and so the portable nature of the laptop loses it's effect. The Eliminata Laptop Saver can help keep it in top condition, by prolonging the battery life and reducing energy consumption.
Laptop batteries cost about £40 and have a limited lifetime which is a called a half-life. This is typically 500 discharge cycles, which is when the battery is taken from full to empty. However, each time the battery is fully discharged it degrades, so after 18 months you will see a significant drop in runtime perhaps from three hours to less than 90 minutes.
The best way to look after the battery is to recharge it before it becomes 50 percent discharged. This can triple the number of cycles possible, extending the lifetime of the battery and the maintaining the runtime of the computer for longer.
The Eliminata Laptop Saver is an intelligent plug, which provides the laptop with just the energy it needs. It checks the power level of the laptop at intervals and recharges at the optimum moment without the owner being aware.
Tips for extending battery life
• Don’t let the laptop run flat and charge the battery frequently.
• If not in use, discharge the battery to 40 percent and keep in a cool place.
• Keep battery away for extremes of heat, don’t leave in the car or charge inside the carry case.
• Use laptop on surfaces that allow airflow.
• Use an Eliminata laptop saver to manage recharging energy efficiently and prevent trickle charge damaging the full charged battery.
• Try to keep battery within 20 – 80 percent of charge.
The beauty of Eliminata is, you just plug it in and it will help protect the laptop. www.eliminata.com
