Causes of an HP Pavilion G60-100 Battery Death and Their Remedies
Lithium ion is a revolutionary HP Pavilion G60-100 battery chemistry that has won the hearts of many, for a good reason: first, they last longer that their nickel-based counterparts. They can work optimally for more charging cycles. They also lack charge memory effect that has been a concern of many, since the advent of laptop technology. A HP Pavilion battery made of lithium ion material also has a high-capacity, is safe, and readily available on the Internet and offline, at an affordable rate. To keep the lithium ion battery in your laptop working well for long, you must know what hastens battery death and how you can lower such effects. This article highlights two major attributes that hasten battery death, and how to lower their effect.
1. Chemical degradation
A lithium ion Pavilion G60-100 laptop battery draws power from a series of cells, connected parallel to each other. Each cell consists of a positively charged cathode plate made of lithium oxide and negatively charged anode plate made of carbon material. An organic solvent with lithium salts separates the two electrodes. It facilitates exchange of electrical ions, when charging/discharging the HP Pavilion battery. When the electrode in one or more cells corrodes, or the organic solvent in the cells becomes unstable, because of oxidation or reduction reactions, the Pavilion G60-100 laptop battery loses its ability to store sufficient electrical ions, and as a result, the ability to generate power, needed to boot a laptop computer optimally. When the chemicals in your battery’s cells degrade, you will experience a dip in productivity before it dies eventually.
How to lower chemical degradation
You can do many things to lower chemical degradation in the HP laptop battery installed in your laptop. First, never leave the battery idle for long. Many people think that leaving their batteries idle for a long time saves charge, and increases its life drastically. The truth is that dormancy increases oxidation and reduction reactions in power cells, lowering their productivity over time. If you do not use your laptop often, then charge and discharge the battery at least once every month, to lower chemical degradation.
Protect your HP Pavilion battery from excess heat, to lower chemical degradation. Like dormancy, excess heat hastens an oxidation reaction in power cells, lowering the capacity of the battery pack over time. Make sure the cooling apparatus in your laptop computer is working well. You should also clean your laptop often, and avoid using it on soft surfaces that trap heat. Ensure air circulates freely in the laptop computer. Finally, use an original HP adapter for Pavilion G60-100. Make sure the voltage and amp figures of the adapter are suitable for your laptop. Borrow or buy a multimeter from a store offline or online and use it to test your charger often.
2. Mechanical damage
Many HP pavilion G60-100 battery packs die due because of mechanical damage. When one or more essential component of the battery (thermostats, circuit board, and others) dies as the accessory grows old, it loses ability to regulate its internal temperature or performance; overheats, and ultimately, dies without warning.
How to lower mechanical damage
One of the most potent ways for lowering mechanical damage is to handle your HP Pavilion battery well during storage or when cleaning. The plastic casing of batteries used to protect internal components is fragile. It can easily crack or break when dropped on a hard surface. It can also shutter or fray, when strained beyond its breaking point. Again, make sure that you use an original HP adapter indicated for your laptop model or brand when charging. A fake or high-speed charger can supply a higher than needed electrical voltage or amp figures, damaging fragile mechanical components of your HP Pavilion battery as a result.
