This is not to say that you can't totally drain the battery, but if it IS totally drained, you should charge it back up ASAP, to prevent it from going totally dead on you. (ASAP meaning "don't wait weeks or months to recharge it. Do it within a few days, or less, if possible.)<br /><br />So, you should take the advice of a periodic total discharge with a grain of salt, depending on the battery chemistry.<br /><br />What say ye?<br /><br />Jim ("J.R.")<br />Jim "JR"https://www.blogger.com/profile/01053267015652256718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8386999095134482598.post-63595004554010001182014-01-12T11:31:57.805-05:002014-01-12T11:31:57.805-05:00Really this is a cute gadget.

They almost always cost more money up front because solar chargers use a less mature and less widely produced technology than conventional chargers. Solar rugged laptop works well in tough situation in this we no need to worry about electricity as well as safety.Helinahttp://www.roamingtech.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8386999095134482598.post-29098283294859075812013-11-24T08:51:01.871-05:002013-11-24T08:51:01.871-05:00Laptop power supplies play a great role in our lap...Laptop power supplies play a great role in our laptop's overall performance.

This device is a total solution for this problem, because it automatically reduces the standby power which is used by laptop after being full charged. This unique feature made this charger one of its kind, and it promotes green/ conservation of energy as well.Jessica Whitehttp://prepaypower.ie/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8386999095134482598.post-58831241276249355712013-08-02T08:13:58.940-04:002013-08-02T08:13:58.940-04:00Here's a couple of potential additions to the ...Here's a couple of potential additions to the "ugly" side.<br /><br />1. While this may be less an issue with more modern battery technology, any battery still has a limited number of charge/discharge cycles. Sadly, batteries are sufficiently expensive to make any reasonable reduction in charge cycles worth while, and unusable batteries require disposal to boot! So using a power adapter that allows NOTHING (or close to nothing) to be demanded from the battery is, IMHO, even 'greener".<br /><br />2. As you explained this "find", I found myself wondering how on earth its circuitry could sense when lower demand was being caused by a fully charged battery, or lower CPU activity. I may have missed something, but i remained very skeptical, and after reading all your "bad and ugly" points became even more convinced, that this probably doesn't do what it claims. After all, I've purchased very small 800 watt auto (12V) radio power amplifiers at garage sales, which suspiciously came equipped with an in line 5 amp fuse.
