Compaq HP Presario V 4100 Laptop Battery
A normal Compaq HP Presario V 4100 Laptop Battery will last 18-24 months with average use. This is equivalent to 500-800 charging cycles. Average use of a battery will eventually drain the batterys ability to hold a charge or there may be some adjustments that you can make to get better performance from your battery. However, if your Compaq HP Presario V 4100 Laptop Battery is old and is getting less than half of its original run-time, then it may be time for a new battery. If you use your laptop battery everyday, use it for gaming, video streaming and are on WiFi constantly, the laptop will drain the battery run-time and over all life much quicker. Such heavy use can render the battery dead in as little as one year with heavy laptop use. Get maximum performance from your Compaq HP Presario V 4100 laptop by following a few suggestions below:
Condition New Batteries
New laptop batteries come in a discharged condition and must be fully charged before use. It is recommended that you fully charge the battery to 100% and let the battery discharge completely on its own. Repeat this procedure 3-4 times to break in the battery and so each battery cell can reach its full charging potential.
Avoid Memory Effect
Keep your Compaq HP Presario V 4100 Laptop Battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once a month. Li-Ion batteries do not suffer from the memory effect, but they too still need conditioning at least once a month with a discharge to about 40% and should not be overcharged.
Reduce or Set Your Compaq HP Presario V 4100 Laptop to Battery Saver Mode
Most laptops allow you to adjust the settings to battery saver mode. Turning down the monitor brightness and turning off programs running in the background will also help in reducing drain on the battery. Remember that WiFi, Gaming and Video Streaming eats up a lot of battery power. We recommend using the AC/DC adapter when you can if on WiFi, Gaming and Streaming Video.
Keep your Compaq HP Presario V 4100 Laptop Battery Clean
Cleaning dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol will help maintain good connections between the battery and the electronic device.
If you follow these simple steps then your Compaq HP Presario V 4100 Laptop Battery will provide you with maximum performance.
