How To Increase The Life Of Laptop Or Mobile Batteries

Reasons For Degradation of Laptop Or Mobile Batteries


  • Here you can learn  how your phone or laptop batteries degrade so quick.

  • Researchers have found which makes rechargeable batteries degrade so fastly, paving the way for new, longer lasting technology.
  • I think you might have experienced the problems of a degraded rechargeable battery, whether it is  a phone which can't be till end of the day without a charge or a laptop that becomes so reliant on its charger anymore you can even call it as a portable device. It was a great problem that scientists have struggled hard to solve this issue because they couldn’t even find out what was cause for such sudden and deterioration of rapid battery .
  • But as of now researchers at the United States Department of Energy had found why these rechargeable batteries always lose their ability to hold a charge for a long time. They work with lithium-ion batteries, which are  commonly used type of batteries in many devices, the researchers are capable to locate their charge and discharge process into down to a few billionths of a meter to know how exactly degradation going to occur in the batteries.

  • Their research may be appear in a couple of studies which are published by the Nature Communications.Matt Safford at Smithsonian Magazine have found two main culprits in battery degradation .


The first Study is:

  • In the first study vulnerabilities of Microscopic  in the structure of  material of  battery may steer the ions of lithium haphazardly through the cell, battery was eroded  seemingly in different random ways, like rust spreads over entire imperfections in the steel.

The second study:

  • The second study  is Focused on determining the best balance between the voltage, maximum charge cycles and storage capacity, researchers have not only found same issues with the flow of ions , but also small nano-scale crystals accumulations which are left behind by several chemical reactions, which may cause the over flow of ions to become even more irregularities after the each charge.Batteries which are running at higher voltages may also lead to more ion path irregularities and thus  deteriorating battery more rapidly.
  • According to Daniel Abraham, who carries out his research on his own lithium-ion battery  at the Argonne National Laboratory in the United States.He told to Safford at Smithsonian Magazine that there will  be more situation to  degradation of battery than what was found by these two studies. The team is much optimistic that their research may lead to longer lasting,  huge compact and more technology of powerful batteries .
  • This may be especially important, said by Huolin Xin  who is a materials scientist at the Brookhaven National Lab in the United States and co-author on both studies as we discussed above, if the cars which runs with electric are to be more important and economically viable in the future. It is generally accepted and it may be a fact that we have to replace our phones and laptops for every three years to maintain maximum performance, but if you take an electric car into consideration, that rechargeable battery should give maximum  performance for at least more than ten to fifteen years. The team is working hard in thier research and hoping that their research would lead to the development of electric car batteries that will last for more than three decades.

  • A lithium-ion battery is a member of  rechargeable battery types in which lithium ions  move from the negative electrode to the positive electrode during discharge and back charging. The electrons may provided with the electrolyte. This Electrolyte and the two electrodes are the main components of a battery. Li-ion batteries may use an intercalated lithium element such as the electrode material, compared to the metallic lithium which is  used in a non rechargeable lithium batteries.



  • The phenomenon of the decrease in the energy density  and capacity  of lithium-ion batteries during their storage and cycling may be considered together with the basic factors which are responsible for this phenomenon that is dissolution and phase alterations of electrode materials,overcharge and self discharge of batteries, reduction of cathode  and electrolyte anodic oxidation components, corrosion of materials of current leads and the mechanism of chemical and electro-chemical electrode processes which is responsible for degradation of batteries.
