Recently, i made a post on How to
recover battery life of your laptop by re-calibrating. this time, we will do it using a different method as shown below. The method of
freezing laptop batteries or any battery at all is an age-long method and it is still working because the process by which batteries deliver charges and are charged haven't changed much. So we are going to see how a refrigerator can help you recover your laptop battery
Freezing Method:This sound crazy but it works like charm. Even a smartphone battery tends to last longer when its under a cool environment than when it’s under the scorching sun.
Step 1: Take your battery out and place it in a sealed Ziploc or plastic bag. so moisture won't be able to enter inside and spoil the battery
Step 2: Go ahead and put the bag into your
freezer and leave it there for about 12 hours. Some people suggest leaving it for longer, but I wouldn’t leave it for more than 24 hours.
Step 3: Once you take it out, remove the plastic bag and let the battery warm up until it reaches room temperature. Be sure to wrap it in a towel and wipe away any condensation as it warms up.
Step 4: Reinsert the laptop battery and charge it completely.
Step 5: Once charged, unplug the power and let the battery drain all the way down.
Now repeat steps 4 and 5 at least 4 times: charge all the way to full, and then discharge completely. After this, you should see a dramatic turnaround in your battery cells.
Note: this method works best on NiCD or NiMH batteries. Do not try this on lithium battery.
