Hi

I understand that you are now cautious on the battery life. Your Toshiba laptop is using Li-ion battery. There are two reasons why a battery Li-ion battery worn out. First is the active usage in your notebook battery. Active usage is how often you used the laptop. Second is the natural aging of the Li-ion battery; the life span of the battery. However, there are a lot of ways to minimize and make use of the battery or just to slow down the dead battery. Here are some steps to keep the battery at its best:

• Avoid running the laptop battery all the way to zero. You have to recharge the battery when it still has about 10-20%.
• Don’t use the battery when you don’t have to. Just remove the battery and just plug the laptop. You have to store the battery in a cool place at around 60°F.
• Do not overcharge the battery. The typical charging of a Li-ion battery is 2.5 to 3 hrs. (6-cell Li-ion battery)

Hope this will help!

Basically there may be a lot that contributed to the backup battery dying. There is the possibility that you were using the USB mouse which drains the charge. There is also the possibility of running unnecessary programs or devices e.g. Running the Wifi access if it’s not being used.

There is also the issue of keeping your laptop in charge constantly. Other issues include not Defragmentising your hard drive. Defragmentisation keeps your hard drive from working harder than it has to when on battery power.

To be able to prevent the same thing from happening to your new battery, do not use your battery all the way to empty. This discharging causes you battery to lose the ability over time faster.
