extend the life of a friend!! (if your friends are rechargable batteries)
obsessedly ... spellcheck suggests ‘blessedly’! ... okay ...
blessedly killing time ... ... oh no!!
save your batteries kids! there are basically two popular types of rechargeable batteries, and i’ve researched how to make them last longer (see http://www.batteryuniversity.com/ for pages and pages of info, or keep reading for my Reader’s Digest version ...
extending the life of your rechargeable batteries can save you a lot of money (hundreds of dollars for a laptop) ... and a lot of inconvenience if you can’t afford a new battery!
Li ion (lithium ion) batteries are found in laptop computers, iPods, and most newer mobile phones. to extend the lives of these batteries it’s best to recharge them fairly randomly ... after one or two hours of use in the case of an iPod or laptop, after a day of light use in the case of a mobile phone. fully depleting these batteries and then fully recharging will actual lower their efficiency.
Ni-Cad (nickel cadmium) or Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride ) batteries are more finicky and are found in older mobile phone, cordless phones, and sometimes come with cameras. they have a 'memory' which means that if you continually use them for one hour and then fully recharge them, they begin to 'think' that one hour is their maximum capacity! so for these batteries you can greatly extend their lives by always fully depleting them, then fully recharging them.
that’s it. i hope this helped!
