Okay, so we know we'd be sunk without our laptops and cell phones. But what about the car? Cars have batteries too. Perhaps you ride a Harley Davidson - not without a motorcycle battery! It's interesting to think where we'd be if the afore-mentioned cobalt ontario zapping episode took place. We know that our forefathers coped without batteries but could we?
The first thing to know is that simple battery care can enhance the performance and useful life of your cell phone battery. Did you know that a cell phone battery should last for up to 400 charge/discharge cycles? That's quite a bit. How does that break down? If you charge your phone each night, your battery will last 12-15 months. If you are only charging twice a week, your battery should last 2-3 years. So if you can get away with charging less then that's a sure fire way to getting Lithium mines Ontario longer life.
Toshiba laptop batteries are excellent for this. They make it easy to have a spare battery for a laptop for many reasons. One is that they make batteries with high capacity. They are lithium-ion batteries. A Li-ion battery lasts longer than other batteries do. Because of that, they have a longer use life as well as not having to be replaced as often.
Keep the Lithium battery stocks dry. High moisture levels damage connectors between it and the connector and that can lead to safety risks or unit failure. If possible avoid using it in damp places.
I run a PC repair business in Vancouver. I always tell people who call with clock problems to check their motherboard battery first before calling me round. For most people it's easy to check and easy to replace. I don't want to make money from fixing something so simple.
Here's a challenge: For one whole day leave everything containing a battery alone. No driving or riding, no cell phone or computer, completely "battery-bereft". At the end of the day you'll either feel tranquil and centred, at total peace with your surroundings or a nervous wreck, climbing the walls.
