Power Recalibration as a Last Resort If your laptop battery is getting really bad, you may want to try recalibrating it. Among the topics discussed is significant importance of recalibration process and how it breaks down.laptop battery calibration (ad)
How Battery Calibration Works
And battery calibration is crucial for making sure your laptop knows exactly how much juice it has left. As batteries age, they may not be able to deliver their charge level (Capacity) accurately anymore and hence trigger system shutdowns. Wear and tear, age, as well usage patterns all contribute to this.
Why Recalibrate?
Precise Readings: Calibrating provides more accurate readings of the battery capacity to the battery management system
Avoid Shutdowns: Consistent calibration minimizes the risk of your laptop powering down randomly even when it looks like you have enough battery juice left.
HOW TO RECALIBRATE LAPTOP BATTERY
Charge Fully:
Start by charging your laptop to 100%. Plug it in for another 2-3 hours after full charge to be sure the battery is topped up.
Disconnect Power:
Now you can disconnect the charger and use your notebook as usual until it runs out of power by itself. It can take hours based on your usage.
Wait Period:
Then, wait for 3-5 hours before turning it on. This pause ensures that any remaining charge is completely drained.
Recharge:
Adapter and charge the battery all over again, but this time let it get to 100% without disconnecting before completely charged. The final step re-calibrates the battery’s internal metrics.
Also, Reset Power Settings (if required):
Note: If you adjusted any power settings before calibrating, ensure these are set back to what they were.
Frequency of Calibration:
We recommend you do battery calibration every 2–3 months and ONLY when your phone’s battery readings show it is now different.
Additional Considerations
A Good-to-Avoid Calibration: If there is any good, the not to have calibration many times would be one. Recalibrate when you need to.
Apply Manufacturer Tools: A few laptops bring their own utilities to handle a battery. Refer to your manufacturer website for tools or instructions.
It may not make a huge difference, but this should improve battery life and maybe even result in more accurate readings when it comes to charges remaining on your laptop.
