Comments for 30-Year Laptop Battery is Indeed Too Good to Be True at http://www.ecogeek.org , comment 1 to 9 out of 9 comments http://www.ecogeek.org Sat, 18 May 2013 19:23:29 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.ecogeek.org/power-storage/1025#comment-39304 Do not expose thethinkpad r30 series battery to high heat or freezing temperatures. Do not leave your battery in your car in the summer. Hot batteries discharge very quickly, and cold ones can't create as much power. Fully charge new battery packs before use. New pack needs to be fully charged and discharged (cycled) a few times before it can condition to full capacity. http://www.laptop-batteries-shop.co.uk/ibm-battery/ibm-thinkpad-r30-series-battery.html - lqbatteryshop Tue, 25 May 2010 03:42:24 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/power-storage/1025#comment-39034 Rechargeable batteries undergo self-discharging when left unused for long periods of time. This is normal particularly in the case of Ni-MH and Li-Ion chemistries. The amount of runtime a dell 1691p laptop batteries produces depends on the power requirements of components in your electronic equipment. http://laptop-batteries-shop.co.uk/dell-battery/dell-1691p-battery.html - lqbatteryshop Mon, 10 May 2010 05:41:04 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/power-storage/1025#comment-28387 Dear Sir /Madam: This is Steven from Shenzhen,China.

Our battery can use for a long time. - laptop battery Thu, 15 May 2008 00:12:00 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/power-storage/1025#comment-12945 Thank you for this outstanding article.I thought Centrino was the best technology for laptop battery performance. - batteries Mon, 12 May 2008 00:16:09 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/power-storage/1025#comment-11822 Did you know that detaching your main laptop battery from your laptop would increase your laptop’s battery life up to 75%? Our experience and testing have shown that even when you are plugged in with your laptop ac adapter and your battery is fully charged, the laptop will still use the laptop battery resources in small increments. This will put unnecessary charge cycles to your battery. Since typical li-ion laptop batteries have 375 charge cycles, having a fully charged battery inserted will put unnecessary charge cycles. The downside to removing your laptop battery maybe a loss of power when the ac adapter is accidentally unplugged or when there is a power outage - battery Wed, 09 Apr 2008 00:02:26 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/power-storage/1025#comment-6446 Any news about the price? - laptop battery Mon, 22 Oct 2007 00:08:25 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/power-storage/1025#comment-5814 So, could you apply the same concept on a larger scale and use it to power a house? Bury a couple of hundred pounds of stuff in the back yard, and have it charging a battery / flywheel / energy storage device when it's night time, or during the day when you're at work. Then, use that stored energy when you need it, in the mornings and evenings. You should be able to fit that much material in a package the size of a large water heater, including a well constructed radiation barrier. I don't suppose you'd really need to bury it, that just seems like an extra barrier against a rad leak in your house. - Jim Fri, 05 Oct 2007 00:06:08 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/power-storage/1025#comment-5809 If they ever get around the 50 pounds of tritium barrier -- and still work only on beta radiation -- your #3 is a bit wonky. Beta radiation is an electron emitted from the nucleus rather than the atomic shell. It's higher energy than alpha radiation (alpha is stopped by clothes or a single sheet of paper) -- but, beta is stoppable by a few millimeters of plastic or a few millimeters of aluminum foil. Now, if the 'source' was SO damaged the tritium was leaking onto your lap -- THEN I'd think you might have a problem. - net97surferx Thu, 04 Oct 2007 20:40:34 +0100
