What is better for the battery life of a Sony Vaio laptop?

I paid for a brand new Sony Vaio laptop yesterday as well as entirely charged it. Now my subject is: Is it improved to take a laptop off a horse as well as make use of it ’till a battery is entirely dull as well as afterwards assign it again. Or is it improved to only keep it plugged in a horse when we work upon it (at home)?


There are 4 suggestions to question “What is better for the battery life of a Sony Vaio laptop?”

  1. Most batteries these days are L-ion (lithium ion). They have a special memory which cuts the battery life short.

    I’ll explain:

    If you get your laptop charger and keep charging it at half way. If you do this for a long time (a few months) the battery will get used to getting charged at half way and the battery will just basically fall to 0 when it was supposed to be at halfway.

    This is hard to conquer in a laptop because you are constantly moving it around.

    My advice is – Only charge it when it’s VERY low like about to die, but if you REALLY need it charged then do it. Just don’t do it too often.

    Also, once in a while (maybe a few months) You should drain the battery life down to 0% (completely gone) Then charge it back up, this will make sure that windows and the battery are in sync. So there are no false readings.

    Hope all this helps

  2. Use the battery only when you have no wall socket to plug it in.

  4. I brought my vaio around a year ago and my battery is fine.
    But I’ve had to replace my charger two times in the space of approx. 6 months…
    The charger just didn’t light up anymore and couldnt seem to charge my laptop so i would watch out for that…
    I just keep my charger on and it’s been working for me. I would recommend if you use the battery to use up all the power before plugging it in again.

Your suggestion?
