But how much heat only.. If you read at batterycare.net it says temps above 55C shud unplug.. a.k.a. when gaming etc etc..

on desktops it's abt 10-15mins...

juz nice for u to save and switch off the computer...

so expect double the time or more on a laptop...

battery doesn't have the sensor to detect temperature.
thermometer not accurate, use thermal gun instead

that's becuz i am in Australia + i ve removed the original thermal pad and replaced it with OCZ Freeze for both CPU and GPU...

and also, the battery is rated 4800mAh...

juz that i 1 day boring nothing to do and itchy finger then go and replace the thermal compound...

looks like a good decision after all...

Applying isn't that hard, reaching the CPU part is the hard part...

most of the laptop reviewer using thermal gun since its the most precise instrument to measure heat emitted.

check those review vids. i pretty sure you will stumble one.

i rather have my battery spoil rather than having to redo all my work if there's any sudden electric trip.. i think the battery wont overcharge.. i have a spare battery for my laptop which i seldom use an they both now have almost the same capacity of storing the charge which will run my laptop not more than 45minutes.

ur friend should use Ctrl+S instead...

lol...then u should purchase a MAC book

i means why need to hiber for so long ?? maximum i hiber is 24 hours... but that time i run micro soft word only... and i just think only very slow when start back.. but my document is still there

I tried on metro 2033 on pause, and hibernate, when started up everything find, but the game is not responding d

i try on black ops... conclusion is... just 10 min.. game not responding jor...

most of the full screen games will not responding, included L4D, Warcraft, Star craft 1 & 2, Need for speed undercover, shift, prostreet. these are the game i tried, all not responding

i can almost confirm tht it will spoil ur batt..

my bro's dell batt cannot charge anymore after 2 years of leaving d batt in d laptop charging all the time

my compaq batt is still working fine after 3 years+ although d batt life nt as strong edi..i took out my batt when i m nt using it..

my dell battery oso die bcuz i always pulg in with battery...

may i noe know how much is a dell xps 1530 battery?

which forum should i visit in order to get this battery?

i'm a newbie...plz help...

ya, u are right..... but Malaysian dont know, they say ACER SUCKZ...
BUT i SAY ACER PRO.... ACER GOOD..... All "A" PRODUCT GOOD, APPLE, ALIENWARE, ASUS, ACER,
CAUSE I USED ALL AF "A" BRANDS

can extend to 3 years..

i think acer also comes with extra warranty nowadays? need pay extra if i not mistaken..

+1 Heat kills electronic component.

Tips    to stretch battery life:
1. Use ur laptop battery until almost 0%
2. After rechanging ur battery until 100% , u better unplug AC power (A good attitude?)
3. If u want to use for gaming, u better use AC power
4. Avoid heat that could spoil ur laptop battery
5. If you have the choices to use AC or DC, u should always use AC instead of DC
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. huh? aren't you meant not to use it until so low to not stress the battery?
2. why want to switch to using battery? just stick to AC power no?
3. yes
4. yes (@quantum avoid heat like don't put your battery in carboot while parked under the sun, don't plug into laptop if your laptop is running hot...)
5. wait.. AC = wall socket, DC = battery?  or AC= alternating current while DC = direct current?

cuz batts have charge cycle de ... that is why frequent charge will render the batt unusable when approaching the end of the cycle charge.

Lets say the batt for example has 3000 cycle charge... means each time the batt encounters a charge then it minus 1 cycle charge. So even ur batt is in 100%, and you plug the power cord to ur notebook and that would cost you 1 cycle charge gone. So always advise to remove batt before plug in power.

i second this. if not mistaken, u don't need to drain lithium-ion battery anymore... there is no memory

sorry, yes, memory effect! not sure if anyone already posted this before, here is something that should be able to answer the question posted in this thread!

http://batterycare.net/en/guide.html

i ve been using batterycare and practicing it without reading the link above  but now, i m more confident continue practicing this:

1. no need to unplug battery after fully charge
2. remove your battery before doing heavy gaming and leaving it over night for torrent, etc
3. DONT use battery till 0%
4. A charge cycle is NOT count as number of time you charge ur battery. say, u use 50%, charge back 100%, that is only half cycle.
5. HEAT is #1 enemy of your battery 

hope TS can close the thread liao..
