How to prolong the lifetime of Sony VGP-BPS3 battery ?

1.Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the Sony VGP-BPS3 battery.Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there is no memory. Short battery life in a laptop is mainly cause by heat rather than charge / discharge patterns.
2.Consider removing the Sony VGP-BPS3 battery from a laptop when running on fixed power.
3.Keep the Sony VGP-BPS3 laptop batteries cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level.
4.If you have a spare battery for Sony VGP-BPS3, use one to the fullest and keep the other cool by placing it in the refrigerator.Do not freeze the battery. For best results, store the battery at 40% state-of-charge.

What every battery user should know?

1.How should I prepare my new battery?
Batteries comes partially charged. You can use the Lithium-ion(Li-ion) battery right away and charge it when needed, But prime new Nickel-based battery by putting on a 14-16h charge.
2.Should I remove the AC adapter when my Sony VGP-BPS3 laptop is not in use?
It does not matter. The charger automatically cuts the charge current when the battery is full. A laptop may be connected to the AC when not in use.
3.Should I remove the Sony VGP-BPS3 battery from the charger when full?
Yes, it is best to remove the Sony VGP-BPS3 battery pack from the charger when full. A prolonged trickle charge to a fully charged battery can be harmful.
4.Can I damage my Li-ion battery if incorrectly prepared?
No; Li-ion is forgiving to partial and full charge. No priming is needed when new.
5.Should I use up all Sony VGP-BPS3 battery energy before charging?
No, it is better to recharge more often; avoid frequent full discharges. To maintain the optimum performance of Sony VGP-BPS3 battery pack, it is highly recommended to circle (fully discharging and recharging) it at least once a month.
6.Should I charge my battery partially or fully?
Full charge termination occurs by reading the voltage level and charge current. Fully charged a Li-ion battery is safe and does not cause harm. However, regarding the Nickel-based batteries, allow full charge without interruptions. Repeated partial charge can cause heat buildup. (Many chargers terminate charge by heat. A fully charged battery will re-heat, causing overcharge.)
7.Should the Sony VGP-BPS3 battery be kept charged when not in use?
Best to store at 40% charge or 3.75-3.80V/cell open terminal. Store in a cool, dry and clean place. Do not fully deplete battery because Li-ion may turn off its protection circuit. However,NiMH battery can be fully depleted and recharged. Priming may be needed.
8.What should I know about chargers?
Charger should apply full charge. Avoid economy chargers that advertise one-hours charge. Fastest full-charge time: 2-3 hours.
9.What are the allowable charging temperatures?
Rechargeable batteries can be used under a wide temperature range. Slow charge: 0°C - 45°C (32°F - 113°F) Fast charge: 5°C - 45°C (41°F - 113° F) Temperature sensor may prevent charge or cut off the charge prematurely. Charging a hot battery decreases the charge time. The battery may not fully charge.
