85Wh Lithium-Ion 9Cell Latitude D820 Dell battery review

May 28th, 2010

As we all know, the Latitude D820 is higher than the thin and light 14 “widescreen D620 and the budget oriented 14″ standard aspect Latitude D520 battery in the lineup. The D820 is an updated version of the latitude D810 battery and features the Intel Core Duo processor to replace the D810 Pentium M and a significant weight reduction in the D810.

As its big wid screen, so the latitude d820 battery is also can not afford its 3 hours daily work. The first year I bought D820, I used the battery frequently as work and travel, fortunately it died after 10 moths in the dell 1 year warranty. I do not know why the machine is 3 year warranty but the battery is only 1 year warranty. Now I know, after the 3 year used 3 batteries replacement (the second year I buy a Macbook for travel). Now I find some reivew about Dell latitude d820 battery.

I bought 2 types Dell latitude D820 battery : 6Cell and 9Cell. I do not want to say anything about my bad 6 Cell battery (the one died after 10 month). Below is the 9Cell 85Wh batetry photos.

The Latitude D820 battery Tech specs :

Device Type : Notebook battery

Technology : 9-cell lithium ion

Capacity : 85 Wh

Recharge Cycles : 300-500

Work with : Dell latitude D820, Latitude D830 battery

Customer review in Dell web site:

I have run through three laptop batteries in four years on the D820. Only use is CPU and HD, never DVD. Typically charge starts to drop off in 9-12 month time frame to the point that unit will not run on battery for even 1 minute. This is totally unacceptable; by comparison original Mac batty still going strong after several years. Bye, bye Dell – you have ignored this user-expensive issue for years.

I’ve been a loyal Dell user for years. However, the next laptop I or anyone in my family or circle of friends buys is most likely going to be something other than a Dell. Why? Because if Dell consciously ignores this abundantly-documented laptop battery life problem, who knows what self-serving obsolescence might be built in to newer Dell laptops? This battery fiasco is one of the easiest ways for Dell to lose loyal customers who consistently seek out high-end products because of their requirements for quality and reasonable product life cycle

I purchased 2 extended batteries with my new Latitude D820. Both batteries failed within 1 year. This is not acceptable for items of this cost. If they are this unreliable they should be covered under the extended warranty

Lasted about 14 months the died completely like my Latitude D620 battery. Just made it out of warranty. I guess there was clause in my extended 3yr warranty that the battery is not covered.

The Dell latitude D820 battery replacement Review in Amazon:

This battery, while appearing to be the same size as the Dell original, is just a few millimeters off. As a result, my battery rarely charges.The battery can be docked, but the metal connectors in the battery are not (sufficiently) touching the pins in the system to charge the battery.

To resolve, I have to do everything from jiggling the battery to completely removing & resetting it. Even then the problem is not guaranteed to go away. Finally, the Dell Latitude D830 battery has never charged fully. When the charge is working , it always seems to quit around the 90% area. Since I’ve had my new battery, I’ve been running on A/C most of the time, but I am dreading my next trip when I longer have an outlet to plug into.

I received the Batery for my Dell D820, and it fit perfectly! On the Positive side, it was a perfect fit, and when the hard drive is not whirring, the charge indicator says I have over 5 hours of batery life left, which is great. The color of the battery differs from that of the computer only slightly.

On the negative side, the build quality doesn’t look as sturdy as the original, and the charge indicator lights look a bit “flimsy”, but then again, the original Dell latitude D520 battery lasted me only a year.

Even if this one lasts for the same ammount of time, it still cost me LESS THAN HALF of what an original Dell battery would have cost… As far as I’m concerned, I would recommend this product to anyone who owns a Dell and donesn’t want to get ripped off buying $300 battery that will only last a year, maybe even less.

The PC Maker has been Dancing around the possibility of Launching Smartphones in Recent Months

May 27th, 2010

Apart from computers, Dell(Dell XPS M1210 battery) had undergone several developing Android-based smartphones that it plans to allocate this year. The PC maker has been dancing around the possibility of launching smartphones in recent months. In March the Michael Dell, CEO, hinted at the involvement of the company’s mobile Internet-enabled devices.

eeepc-1218-1-300x170

But what about Symbian, the mobile phone operating system that was acquired by Nokia, you ask? Well, although by definition it is a Symbian smart phone operating system that could easily work on the hardware from Intel, is still missing too behind others, such as Android, Linux, HP Pavilion dv8000 Battery, Win-Mobile and iPhone. If I had to pick a partner to the operating system, then either the Microsoft (for Win-Mobile) or Google’s Android. But the two giants would be difficult for Intel and Nokia to cooperate. Let’s see what happens.

At the time of the tablet (portrait) mode, the bottom of the screen is on the right side by default. Among buttons include quicklaunch button for Dell (Dell Vostro 1700 battery) ’s ControlPoint panel system, with power and CRTL button, there is also a button that rotates the screen 90 degrees clockwise each press. This makes it a breeze for users to feel left comfortably holding the device.

The company said that Dell (Dell Latitude D620 Battery) Energy Smart architecture offered to 11 servers generation Dell PowerEdge supports real-time monitoring and control and uses extensive characterization platform and advanced features such as Active Power Dell controller help To optimize the platform level tradeoffs between performance and power consumption.

A practical and flexible device, the iPhone recognizes the names in your Contacts and know the music on your iPod. Implementation of the new Compass reorients automatically maps to match the direction you’re facing. It also allows you to cut, copy and paste words, images and Web content, even between applications. The Apple (Apple iBook G4 14 inch Battery) iPhone 3GS is equipped with an intelligent keyboard that can be rotated to landscape to use a larger keyboard in the mail, messages, notes, and Safari. Accessibility and search for contacts, email, calendars and notes have been very simple for your iPod.

Sending messages with text, video, photos, audio, MacBook Pro Adapter, locations and contact information may occur during the watch of a button. Furthermore, the iPhone provides accessibility features for users who are visually or hearing impaired. Such features include a screen reader VoiceOver, a zoom feature of apple A1184 Adapter, white on black display options, Mono Audio, and many others.

In an interview, Patrick Moorhead, vice president at AMD, but all predicted that differences will occur. He said: “We’ve seen this movie before and it has three endings. Whether the industry will regulate itself. The FTC will come in and say what to do. Or a giant group therapy trial will happen as there is when” the computer Sony VGP-BPS12 battery manufacturers misleading claims about things like the performance of hard disks, CD-ROM, and the diagonal length of the monitors.

Intel graphics processor deletes ‘Larrabee’

May 26th, 2010

Intel graphics processor deletes "Larrabee"

The chip will be used only as a platform for software development apple macbook pro battery. As is reason to Intel, that the development of the planning behind Larrabee ago. Analysts see the poor performance of the GPU as a true cause.

Intel launched its planned multi-GPU "Larrabee" but not on the market. According to company spokesman Nick Knupffer he will instead come internally and from selected partners as a platform for software development are used apple macbook pro 13 battery.

As mentioned Knupffer reason that the development of the chip and the related development lags far behind the original plan. The analyst Jon Peddie Research are against the view that Intel with Larrabee does not reach the self-imposed performance targets. In November, Intel CTO Justin Rattner demonstrated at the Supercomputing Conference SC09 a Larrabee chip with a computing power of one teraflop kodak klic-8000 battery. "This is great, but you can buy for a few hundred dollars an ATI graphics card that said 5 Teraflops achieved", Jon Peddie.

Intel had postponed the market launch of Larrabee and over again. Originally, the 2008 graphics chip already come onto the market and compete with graphics cards from Nvidia and ATI konica minolta np-400 battery.

On the plans for its first CPU with integrated graphics Intel holds. The new Atom processors konica minolta np-600 battery, codenamed "Pineview" should not appear this month.

Intel Took the Wraps off four new Core processors on Monday

May 25th, 2010

There has been quite a bit of talk about the upcoming dual-core Intel Atom CPUs and how they will have 1.5GHz frequencies and support for faster memory. Intel aims to turn these new chips into the means by which new life will be instilled inside a market slowly getting saturated. It appears, however, that specs aren’t the only aspect of netbooks Omnibook 6000 battery that the Santa Clara, California-based company has decided to change.

2536437923_6ff006569f

HP 398876-001 is  currently the greatest PC supplier on the planet, having shipped a total of desktops, notebooks and netbooks that clearly exceeds the performance of Dell (Dell Inspiron 1501 Battery) and Acer. However, even the top player isn’t perfect. In fact, over the years, certain issues, mostly related to fire hazard, have prompted the company to officially issue a recall of its products. On that note, laptop battery replacement programs have been announced over the past several years, after quality checks and end-users’ reports revealed that said batteries posed real risks.

Intel took the wraps off four new Core processors Monday that are squarely aimed at laptop PC makers. According to the market-leading microprocessor giant, the new ultra-low-voltage devices featuring integrated memory controllers and graphics will enable OEMs to build sleeker, lighter weight laptops that are less than one inch thick.

The HP (HP Pavilion N5400 battery) release of the Compaq AirLife 100 marks the beginning of a new computer class, according to Luis Pineda, a Senior Vice President of Qualcomm. The always-connected, instant-on mobile computer seeks to set the standard for a “smartbook” device that blends the smartphone with the netbook computer. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon CPU is seen as the key to the emergence of these powerful mobile computers that are designed to erode market support for the Apple iPad.

Dell (Dell GD761) ’s Alienware M11x is already one of the most powerful 11 inch laptops you can buy, at least when it comes to gaming performance. The machine currently uses a dual core Intel CULV processor and an NVIDIA GT 335M graphics card with 1GB of dedicated video memory. But now it looks like Dell plans to refresh the notebook with a new line of Intel processors designed to balance power consumption with well power.

While there are two laptops in the range, the FX600 and FX700, it’s only the former which MSI (XPS M1330 battery) is pushing in the UK. It’s a 15.6in laptop with a Core i5 processor supporting Intel’s Turbo Boost technology and MSI’s own Turbo Drive Engine to further improve performance.

Do you love both Asus (Eee PC 701 battery) laptops and Amazon’s Kindle book-reading app, but are extremely lazy? As in, so lazy you can’t be bothered to download and install the PC version of Amazon’s free Kindle app on your new Netbook?

Meet the Samung (Sony VGN-AR48C battery) X420: an ultraportable laptop that boasts impressive VGP-BPS9A/B battery life, a 14-inch screen and a delightfully lightweight 1.78kg frame. You’ll have to fork out for the privilege though – at around £ 600, the X420 will take a sizeable bite out of your yearly tech budget. Is it a well-rounded enough machine to justify a purchase?

The desktop computer may not be dead, but it’s certainly suffering from life threatening wounds.If the desktop crawled into its nearest field hospital, the triage nurse would have to think very carefully about whether to rush it into surgery, or to lay it down gently in a corner and wait for the inevitable.

Even though Intel and Advanced Micro Devices have been making great progress when it comes to power efficiency, PA3451U-1BRS, ARM can still claim to have the least power-hungry CPUs on the market. Nevertheless, ARM, Apple a1036 adapter, CPUs are also known for not being capable of matching the performance of x86 CPUs. Both these gaps are, for better or worse, steadily narrowing, however, and as Intel started promoting its Atom Z6xx series of smartphone chips, ARM dual-core processors ended up in a certain, very promising NVIDIA Tegra 2 slate set to be unveiled at Computex.

Battery that charges “in seconds”

May 18th, 2010

A new method of making lithiumion Toshiba PA3399U-2BRS batteries could lead to smaller, lighter than the batteries can be recharged in seconds. Dell Inspiron 1501 Batteris drain so quickly, it would be useful for electric cars and hybrids, which require a quick load shock acceleration. The approach requires only simple modifications to the production process of a known material.

2356176343_dd948fe55c

The new research is reported in the scientific journal Nature. For the fist-mail package, gram for gram, the lithium ion Toshiba PA3420U-1BRS battery Rechargeable batteries are most commonly found in consumer electronics, like laptops. However, take a long time to load, researchers have assumed until now that had a speed limit of lithiumions and electrons passing through the cell to form an electrochemical circuit.

Small holes

Gerbrand Ceder, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA, and colleagues used a computer simulation model of the movement of ions and electrons in a material known as variant of lithium iron phosphate standard ions.

The simulation showed that the ions move at high speed. “If the lithiumion transport was so fast, something had to be the problem,” said Professor Ceder. This problem has been revealed how the ions pass through the material. They pass through tiny tunnels, whose entries are present on the surface of the material.

However, the team found that to enter these channels, the ions must be located directly opposite the entrance to the tunnel – if they were not, could not pass. The solution, Ceder discovered, was to design the material that has a so-called “bypass” that guides the ions towards the entrance of the tunnel.

Traffic Management

A prototype Dell xps m1730 battery with the new technique could be charged in less than 20 seconds – more than six minutes with an untreated sample of the material.

Most Vostro 1700 batteries in commercial use of a composite material of lithium and cobalt, lithium iron phosphate, but does not suffer from overheating – something that has affected the batteries for laptop and mp3 player on a number of accidents. Although it is cheap, lithium iron phosphate has so far received little attention, because the lithium cobalt can store loads a little more than a certain weight.

However, researchers have found that their new material does not lose its charge capacity over time, in the standard form of lithiumion Dell Latitude D620 Batteries, do. This means that the excess of material placed on standard batteries to compensate for this loss of time is not necessary, leading to smaller, lighter batteries charging phenomenal rates. Moreover, because there are relatively few changes to the rules of the manufacturing process, Professor Ceder believes that the new Vostro 1500 battery material could cause the market within 2-3 years.

Laptop battery using FAQ

May 12th, 2010

Q: How to store the laptop battery if not used for a long time?

A: Charge or discharge the Dell D5318 to about 40% state, and then placed in temperature of 15 to 25 degrees Celsius dry place, the temperature is too high and too low are easy to accelerate cell aging.

The original post from http://www.laptops-battery.co.uk/

Q: Should I remove the battery when notebook work with power?

A: It does not matter, the laptop battery own a protection circuit to avoid over-charging.

Q: My battery is now only work a very short period of time, how should I do?

A: If you’ve been use your battery frequently, then it belongs to cell aging which can not be avoided. You should change a new Dell U4873 battery or change the battery inside cells; If you store the battery for a long time, it may also lead to this situation. You need to completely discharge (up to fail to boot up) and then full chargerd, repeated several times to activate the battery.

Q: Laptop adapter can used in other laptop?

A: No, there are three obstacles, the first is the notebook computer manufacturers use various different voltage, such as IBM are 16V, COMPAQ mostly 18.5V, SONY VGP-BPS8 part of the model is 19.5V, are inconsistent. The second is different from the needs of current laptop is different from the 2A ~ 5.4A have a small machine needs a smaller current, big machine in the latter case. The third is the various manufacturers notebook power adapter interfaces are different, it is difficult general. Therefore there is no universal laptop adapter at present.

Q: Why does my IBM laptop screen brightness lower when using battery as using power?

A: This is the IBM default settings for random power management which is aimed at energy-saving:). If you do not like it, you can control software in IBM’s ThinkPad Configuration Utility, select LCD project, then changed brightness from Normal to High. The Display option can set in the BIOS.

Q: Do the first three chargeing time must last 12 hours to new VGP-BPS9 battery?

A: This is not necessary because the current laptop has a prefect charge-discharge power management when the battery reached saturation, the control circuit will automatically switch to the circuit state.

Q: In order to prevent memory effect, we should charge the battery when it is fully discharged?

A: Every time charge of battery discharge is not necessary but harmful. Practice has proved that the Latitude d420 battery deeply discharge will shorten the life. Generally you should charge your battery when it is in 10% state. When the battery power is still more than 30%,donot charge the battery because the memory effect exist more or less.
