Laptop Battery



Laptops are designed for people who are always on the move. Laptop users carry with them their documents just like a brief case and they communicate with their family or colleagues while travelling. They just sit in one corner and continue doing their work. While on the road it will be useless without a battery but what if we are at home or in the office. Do we need to remove the battery before we plug it in to the outlet?

Before we go any further, the average life span of the battery is only about two years. Whether we have used it or not it is going to come to its end. Some people have the notion that if they remove the battery it will extend the battery life. Using the laptop without battery may just cause further damage when power failure occurs. The most probable hardware that will be hit is the hard drive because it spins rapidly while reading and writing onto the media.

Having said that scenario I would prefer to keep the battery because it add protection to the laptop itself in case of sudden power failure. It is also awkward if you have that big empty slot right at the bottom of your laptop.
