How to miantain your laptop's battery health?

Most of us usually destroy our batteries in a year or so. I destroyed mine in a year and a half to 50%.
Now i have purchased a new  laptop , so i would like to take care of my laptops battery and make it last longer.

After surfing on the web I found 2-3 articles really helpful. i m gonna share with you the brief measures that u can take to extend your battery health.

• First of all , the most important point that has to be  taken into consideration is that batteries don't want to get charged upto 100%!! ,  rather the want a user that could drain it out to 40-30 % and charge it to 80%. charging your battery to 100% and not letting it go down below 60 or 50 % is not actually helping the battery. Batteries want to get charged between 40 to 80 % usually. This can double the charge and discharge cycles in some cases!!


• also heat generated by your laptop can affect  your batteries health , so please be careful about your laptop's temperature, avoid using it on lap, use a table or desk.


• drain out your battery completely once in month to keep it healthy

so these a some important precautions you can take to maintain to  batteries upto 3 or maybe 4 yrs.
Good Luck!!
