Acer Replacement Laptop Batteries

Filed under: News

The world is a different place than it was when laptops were first introduced to the public. One of the greatest changes is our knowledge of the great responsibility that we all have to recycle as much as possible. When you have Acer replacement laptop batteries, there is a great program set up that allows you to easily dispose of those batteries in the proper way. In addition, some Acer replacement laptop batteries have been recalled. Laptop owners should be aware of this, as you can turn in your battery if it is one of the recalled ones and have a free replacement.

While rechargeable batteries are great to have, they only have a certain life span. Then, it will be time to dispose of them properly. There are a few things that laptop owners can do that may lend a little extra life to the batteries. Closing down programs that are running on the computer but not needed, defragging the computer, not overcharging the batteries and keeping the connections clean can all be ways to help. However, the average lifespan will be between two and four years, depending on the use and the above mentioned methods of extending life. When the battery reaches a point of no longer being able to hold a charge, it will be time to dispose of it and then obtain new batteries.

For those with Acer replacement laptop batteries, the Acer America Corporation has joined together with other well known notebook manufacturers in a recycling effort. Drop off facilities have been set up nationwide in order for laptop users to easily drop off their batteries. Once gathered together, those batteries are taken to large recycling facilities where they are actually used to create new batteries. Other things may be created as well, however many of the elements in old batteries can be used to make new ones, thus finding use for what would be considered hazardous material and using less power to manufacture new ones.

Longer-Lasting Batteries for Notebook Computers

Filed under: News

Conventional lithium-ion batteries in laptops quickly lose their ability to store energy and can catch fire if they’re overcharged or damaged. Now researchers at Argonne National Laboratory in Argonne, IL, have developed composite battery materials that can make such batteries both safer and longer lived, while increasing their capacity to store energy by 30%.

Last month, the researchers took a significant step toward commercializing the technology by licensing it to a major materials supply company, Toda Kogyo, based in Japan. The company has the capacity to make the materials for about 30 million laptop batteries a year, says Gary Henriksen, who manages electrochemical storage research at Argonne.

The new materials are one example of a new generation of li-ion electrode chemistries that address the shortcomings of conventional li-ion batteries. Each has its own trade-offs. For example, another material called lithium iron phosphate has better safety and durability than Argonne’s materials, but it stores somewhat less energy than conventional li-ion batteries. Argonne’s materials improve on the safety and reliability of today’s notebook batteries, while also storing more energy…
