Laptop Battery Articles & Tips

What does it mean to condition one's battery?
This may be caused by frequent charges/drains or infrequent battery use. It is recommended that you "condition" your battery a few times a year to get the most out of it. To do this, simply charge your battery to the fullest and then disconnect the AC adapter plug. Make sure any power saving alarms or options are disabled and simply let your notebook run until it completely drains the battery and turns itself off. Plug your notebook back in and completely recharge the battery before using it. This conditioning or "cycling" of the battery will help it retain a fuller charge for a longer period of time.

What is Centrino Technology?
Centrino Technology is a combination of 3 Intel components found in the same notebook. These components are:

• Intel Pentium M based Processor
• Intel 855 Chipset Family
• Intel Pro/Wireless Connection

In order for a notebook to be labelled as having "Centrino Technology", all three components must be available in the notebook. It is a common misconception that "Centrino" is a processor, but it is the combination of the three components listed above.
