Dell inspiron 500m Battery

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 8, 2010 -- What should you do to keep your Dell inspiron 500m battery healthy?
# 1) Battery packs should be charged for 12 hours when you first get them. Dell inspiron 500m laptop battery is completely discharged at the time of purchase, and need a full charge before their first use.
# 2) For daily use, charge the battery fully then run it on battery power only until it is completely out if using Ni-Cd or Ni-MH Dell inspiron 500m battery (to prevent the "memory effect") or mostly out for Li-ion (to prevent overcharging).

# 3) Do not leave your battery inactive for extended periods of time. Even if you use AC power most of the time, use the Dell inspiron 500m laptop battery periodically to keep it in good condition. Unplug your AC adapter when the computer is not in use to prevent overcharging..

# 4) For your first use, you must fully drain the laptop battery until the laptop goes into hibernation. After that plug in your charger and allow it charge for 12 hours or depending on what the technician has told you. 12 hours is the max and you can use it while charging. I'm not saying it would take 12 hours to charge rather it is the first charge to really awaken the ions after a long time. It's good to charge a new battery for three times at first. After that it will take less than 2 hours to fully charge your laptop battery. This recommended so that the laptop battery will heat up for the time allowing ions to reawaken.
