How long do Laptop Batteries Last?
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 the rechargeable battery begins to die, the user will notice a decline in the running time of the battery. When a battery that originally operated the notebook for two hours is only supplying the user with an hour's worth of use, it's time for a new one.

What is the difference between NiCD, NiMH, and LiIon batteries?

• NiCd: The Nickel Cadmium battery is the most durable battery on the market. These batteries are quick to charge, last for approximately 700 charge and discharge cycles, and work well in extreme temperatures. They do, however, suffer from "memory effect" if not completely discharged each cycle. "Memory effect" reduces the overall capacity of the battery, thus affecting its run time. If a battery is discharged to 30% and then recharged, for example, the battery will only charge to 30% of its capacity. If improperly cared for, a NiCd battery can quickly deteriorate.
• NiMh: The Nickel Metal-Hydride battery runs almost 75% longer on each charge than NiCD batteries but only last for about 500 charge cycles. NiMH batteries, however, are resistant to memory effect. Made from non-toxic metals, NiMH batteries are also environmentally safe.
• LiIon: The Lithium Ion battery is lightweight and does not suffer from memory effect. The LiIon battery also delivers a higher run time average. Similar to NiMH technology, LiIon batteries have a life expectancy of 500 charge and discharge cycles.
