Electronic devices including notebooks, mobile phones, tablet computers, e-readers, watches, etc., are all modern electronic products designed with lithium battery devices. Because of the high energy density, slow self-discharge and low memory efficiency of lithium batteries used in electronic products, they have attracted the favor of many manufacturers. As a consumable, the service life is generally 2-3 years.

But the shortcomings of lithium batteries are also obvious.

Overheating, expansion and even explosions are not uncommon.

So, how to keep your battery healthy?

1. Regularly use a hairdryer to blow the back of the laptop and the vent for 10-15 minutes to keep it cool.
2. Observe the 40/80 principle and keep the battery power at 40%~80% to keep the lithium battery active.
3. Ensure that the battery is fully discharged and fully charged once a month to maximize the guaranteed cycle period.
4. Make sure not to start charging at 0% every time you charge. According to research conducted by Battery University, a 50% discharge can better help the battery to be used for extended periods of time.

2. Decrease the screen brightness.
3. Turn off Bluetooth and WLAN when not needed.
4. Close programs that do not need to be running in the background. Playing games, listening to music, and watching videos are the main sources of power consumption. If you need to save power, you can also turn it off.5. Keep the room ventilated and cool. The high or low temperature will affect the use of the computer and battery.
6. Do not place the computer on a sofa or quilt for charging, as it may overheat during charging and cause an explosion.
7. If you need to play games, please plug in the power source. This is because a large amount of power consumption is required when playing games, which makes the CPU, graphics, hard disk and other hardware in a state of high-consumption operation.
8. Check the health status of the battery regularly.

In addition to the problem of the battery itself, ensuring the health of the battery can avoid the problem of swelling.
If your laptop battery swells, please stop using it immediately.

If you develop bad usage habits, it may cause the problem of battery swelling

So, how to deal with swollen batteries?

1. Stop using it immediately and do not charge the device.
2. Take out the swollen battery, do not use sharp tools to pierce the battery pack.
3. Check the official website whether there is a recent battery recall notice. If so, please contact the official centre staff immediately.
4. Take the swollen battery to an authorized recycling center for disposal. Do not throw lithium batteries arbitrarily into the trash can, otherwise it will cause the danger of explosion.

How to maintain good usage habits to prevent battery swelling?

1. Place the battery in a cool place. Lithium batteries are afraid of both high temperature and low temperature. Because the temperature is too high or too low will reduce the activity and stability of lithium ions.
2. Use a high-quality charger. Adapters composed of inferior electronic components will only greatly reduce the life of the battery, and heating problems will occur during charging. Long-term use of low-quality chargers may cause an explosion.
3. When the life of the lithium battery is exhausted, please replace it immediately. The old battery not only shortens the working time of the device, but also reduces the performance of the device.
