Our Own Brand Battery Information
Our own brand batteries all bear our registered trademark PP as above. We hold all CE, FCC, ROHS and drop test
safety documentation for our batteries. The batteries have a 6 month warranty.
Copies of these test certificates are available upon request from us. Simply contact us and we will be happy to
supply.
Original Batteries
All original batteries that we supply with are tested to be as good as new. They will have a very low cycle count
(a cycle is when a battery is charged and discharged) and will have at least 90% of their battery life left. We
guarantee that the batteries will work for 6 months along with the device. However due to the nature of batteries
and how they wear out we cannot guarantee how long all safety and conformity certification will be held by the
original manufacturer. This is usually available on their website or by requesting it from them by email. If you
are having issues obtaining these certificates from the original equipment manufacturer please do not hesitate
to contact us and we will obtain if for you.
Calibrating Your Computer’s Battery For The Best Performance
The battery has an internal microprocessor which provides an estimate of the amount of energy in the battery
as it charges and discharges. The battery needs to be recalibrated from time to time to keep the onscreen
battery time and percent display accurate. You should perform this procedure when you first use your battery
and then every few months thereafter.
1.
Disconnect the power adapter and use your battery until the laptop shuts down.
2.
Plug the power adapter in and fully charge your laptop’s battery to 100%. Upon initial use (or after
a prolonged storage period) the battery may require three to four charge/discharge cycles before
achieving maximum performance. The charging process should last at least around 14 hours.
You have to first discharge your battery until the laptop shuts down before you recharge it to 100% for calibra
-
tion. After that, you can connect and disconnect the power adapter when the battery is at any charge level.
Tip:
When the battery reaches “empty” the computer is forced into sleep mode. The battery actually keeps
back a reserve beyond “empty” to maintain the computer in sleep for a period of time. Once the battery is truly
exhausted, the computer is forced to shut down. At this point, any open files could be lost.
Battery Storage
Batteries may be damaged if stored for prolonged periods with a closed circuit. If the battery will not be in use
for a month or longer, it is recommended that it’s removed from the device, 60% - 80% charged and stored in a
cool, dry and clean place. A charged battery will eventually lose its charge and be damaged if unused. It may
therefore be necessary to recharge the battery after a certain storage period. It’s good to use the battery at least
once a month to ensure good storage status.
Battery Safety
Do not short-circuit. A short-circuit may cause severe damage to the battery. Do not drop, hit or otherwise abuse
