In order to spend you’re money wisely and choose the best Toshiba laptop battery for you,here is some info on this subject. Choosing the brands of batteries, especially not to buy the cheap batteries imported directly from China, they can be extremely dangerous because they will suffer very little control of manufacture, or none! So beware, they can be very dangerous!

Do not exceed the discharge current specified by the manufacturer of the battery (eg if marked 4400mAh so it will not pull more than 4.4 A for one hour) for fear of damaging it considerably. Clearly, it is recommended to use your battery to power other machines.
A very important announcement above: never fall below 10% load. In general the OS whatsoever, directly puts the computer to sleep when it is more than 15% of remaining charge.You can really lose 20% capacity in one fell swoop, I personally lost 10% capacity of a sudden wanting to try …

* Allow the battery to charge quietly without using it. Rest assured, when you recharge your battery power cord divides his power part is then to charge your battery, the other is used for the operation of your laptop, so your battery is not used for this time.
Calibration: this operation is to “reframe” the full charge your battery. To do this, when the battery is discharged at the maximum (not below 10% but when the OS puts the laptop in standby) it needs recharging completely without interruption. It actually allows your battery to undergo a full discharge followed by a full charge, which maintains it. It is advisable to do this manipulation 1 to 2 times per month.

Another important point also is that it is unnecessary to remove the battery from the computer when not in use and the PC is connected to the mains, simply because all current laptops or the batteries themselves are equipped with electronic circuits that avoid using the battery when it is charged and the laptop is connected to the mains. By cons are advised to unplug the power cord to a laptop when it is turned off to avoid any unnecessary burden micro-battery.

It seems that Sony flange charging batteries of their new laptops to 80% for the wear limit, so do not worry. It is normal if you can see on a Sony laptop.

Do not forget: a battery does not throw in the trash but recycled and wears even when not in use.
