Answer 1

You should charge your battery when you are bot using it.But not in night because t of fluctuation.

Answer 2

Just relax. There's nothing to worry about. It doesn't matter how you charge it. Some people charge it for three hours a day, others only charge it when they use it. Pesonally, I charge it when I'm not using it, so I can take it with me wherever I go.

Answer 3

There are two ratings on every battery: Volts and Milliamp-hour (mAh). The voltage of the new battery should always match the voltage of your original. Some of our batteries will have higher amp-hour ratings that the original battery found in your device. This is indicative of a longer run-time (high capacity) and will not cause any incompatibilities. Remember: in some cases, the voltage will differ from the original battery. This often happens when both a Li-Ion battery and a Ni-MH battery are available for the laptop

The life of a rechargeable battery operating under normal conditions is generally between 500 to 800 charge-discharge cycles. This translates into one and a half to three years of battery life for the average user. As your rechargeable battery begins to die, you will notice a decline in the run time of the battery. When your two-hour battery is only supplying you with an hour's worth of use, it's time for a new battery.

It's a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and your laptop.Do not leave your battery dormant for long periods of time.If a battery has not been used for a long period of time, perform the new battery break in procedure described above.

There is a possibility that either the laptop or the battery is defective. The best way of determining which one is by comparing either the battery or the laptop to a known good one. For example: If the battery does not charge at all, yet another battery charges and discharges properly in the same laptop, then we can assume that the battery is defective. Or: If the battery works fine on one laptop but not the other, then it is the laptop that is defective and will need servicing.

good luck!
