A laptop would not exist without a battery. The battery on our laptop, not its dimensions or weight, is what turns it into a fully portable gadget. Every battery has a finite life. The most popular type of laptop batteries are Li-ion ones, which have a 500 cycle life (two to three years). Over time, cells experience a normal ageing process that causes a decrease in their efficiency and ability. The battery’s lifespan eventually gets extremely short, and at that point, using it without a power source is impossible. The laptop is no longer displaying the mobility features that we first desired in this fashion.

To restore its original functionality, selecting the appropriate battery is the first and most crucial step. When selecting a laptop batteries in UAE what should you check for? Reversely of what many users believe, knowing the brand and model of the laptop is not sufficient to choose the right battery. The three most crucial factors are voltage, capacity, and the original designation.

How do you find battery models and where can I find them?

The battery itself will always have the identification on it. Take off the computer’s battery and look at the label to identify it. In addition to details like the nation of manufacture and cautionary indicators, there’s a special battery code. The battery code is made up of several combinations of letters and digits that vary depending on the computer and manufacturer. The most widely used patterns are as follows:

Voltage of the battery

Selecting the correct battery still requires more than just knowing the battery code. Its voltage is the second characteristic to which we should be attentive. The battery voltage is 10.8V (or 11.1V—also compatible) or 14.4V (or 14.8V—also compatible), depending on the energy requirements. A battery with a voltage of 10.8V often contains 6 cells, while a battery with a voltage of 14.4V typically has 8 cells. The voltage and cell count are closely correlated. One of the most crucial things to accomplish is to check the voltage parameter. While 10.8V is the most common value for laptop batteries, higher voltage types do occasionally surface.

One battery model (for instance, the well-known battery AS07B31) may exist in two distinct voltage variants, which further complicates the situation. A battery with a lower voltage won’t function with a computer that needs a higher voltage, so the batteries cannot be used interchangeably. The international symbol for voltage, or V, is found on the label, frequently next to the battery model, and it is as simple to check as its name.

Capacity of batteries

The capacity, which is often shown by mAh or Wh (milliampere-hours or watt-hours), is the third crucial factor. In a strict sense, the mAh represents the accurate capacity measurement of the cells. Additionally, 1Ah indicates that the gadget can deliver a continuous 1A current for one hour. As an example, if we know the energy requirements in watts, the requirement of 20 watts when the battery parameter is 48 Wh means that it will give the computer with power for around 2.5 hours. On the other hand, the Wh number indicates how long the battery will be able to function on a single use.

It is not always possible to get a satisfactory operating time due to capacity constraints. We offer batteries with an extra set of cells to improve capacity for more demanding customers. With nine cells, the capacity can reach up to 6600 mAh (at 10.8V), and with twelve cells, it can reach up to 8800 mAh (with 10.8V). When larger capacity batteries are used, their working life is extended (in relation to the conventional 4400 mAh) by approximately 1.5 times for 6600 mAh batteries and up to 2 times for 8800 mAh batteries.

Many people support the second approach since it raises the computer by roughly 2 centimetres, improving air circulation underneath and lowering the operating temperature. One of the primary motives for selecting laptop batteries from other companies is that the manufacturer’s batteries do not come in larger capacity. Making the switch to non-standard cell batteries is another method of increasing capacity. Our ULTRA series of batteries uses this solution. We were able to reach a 6800 mAh capacity using Panasonic cells without having to physically increase the battery; its dimensions remain the same.

Conclusion

By putting the preceding advice into practice, you may steer clear of the repercussions that come with choosing the incorrect battery, including return shipping, exchanges, and additional associated expenses. If you’re still unsure, please give us a call at 045490505.
