(After first cycle - charge for 6-8 hours).
Are mcVolt Li-Ion laptop batteries really better than NiMh and NiCd batteries?
Nickel Cadmium batteries contain Cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, which is harmful to the environment. Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries offer a higher capacity(runtime)per same size(voltage output) than NiCd batteries and mcVolt Litium Ion laptop batteries have a higher capacity than NiMh(those sold by most manufacturers). NiMh batteries are also lighter and have little memory effect compared to their NiCd counterparts. mcVolt Li-ion laptop batteries are light, have a higher capacity and have no memory effect compared to NiMh and NiCd batteries.
Is it possible to overcharge rechargable batteries?
yes, intelligent battery chargers have a temperature sensor that cuts off the current when the battery temperature rises. This is a sign of being fully charged. Cheaper chargers carry on until you switch off,this can cause the electrolyte to boil away and shorten the life of the battery. In extreme cases overcharging can buckle the plates of a battery making it useless.
How do you know when your laptop battery is fully charged?
mcVolt chargers and most OEM chargers have lights to show if the charge is finished. Typically, you will see changes in the green or red lights on the charger to indicate the battery is charged.

Why doesn't my new laptop battery hold a charge?
Sometimes when a battery is inactive for a long period of time, the cells inside become dormant and need to be "jump-started".

This should recondition the battery and bring it back to normal operational status. Also purchase your batteries manufactured by a quality manufacturer like mcVolt.
How long will your mcVolt laptop battery run?
Run time will vary on individual laptop computers, based on the applications being used (i.e. high graphics, games), the number of times something is saved or retrieved from the hard drive and/or CD Rom drive, the memory of laptop, and chemistry and capacity of the laptop battery. A realistic average run-time for a laptop battery is 1.5 to 3 hours. Again, run time will vary on applications being used and individual laptops.
How do you extend laptop battery life?
Decrease the brightness of the LCD screen Use "screen blank", "standby" and "hibernation" modes to save power If you will not be using the computer for a long time, remove the laptop battery pack and store it in a cool place. Do not recharge until all battery power is used. Do not use the laptop battery until it is fully charged. And remember the best way to get the most from your laptop battery is to purchase a good quality produced battery like those by mcVolt.
What is a smart and dumb laptop battery?
Smart batteries have internal circuit boards with smart chips which allow them to communicate with the laptop and monitor battery performance, output voltage and temperature. Smart batteries will generally run 15% longer due to their increased efficiency and also give the computer much more accurate "fuel gauge" capabilities to determine how much battery running time is left before the next recharge is required. A reputable manufacturer like mcVolt only manufacturers smart batteries.
How long will your new mcVolt laptop battery last in your laptop?
Battery run-time on a laptop is difficult to determine. Actual battery running time depends upon the power demands made by the equipment. The use of the screen, the hard drive and other accessories results in an additional drain upon the battery, effectively reducing its running time. The total run-time of the laptop battery is also dependent upon the design of the equipment. Generally, a new Hi-Capacity laptop battery will run 30% to 50% longer than the old laptop battery did when it was new.
