All refilled batteries has to be fully charged/discharged at least 1 to 3 times(3 cycles)depending on your computer. Some batteries require more than 10 cycles to fully recognize refilled cell capacity. This is because of the Digital Memory effect. To change memorized charging capacity prior to refill, you need to reset power Options. Follow these steps, After changing these settings, charge and discharge battery fully one to three times.

Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries are a mixture of Nickel and Cadmium. The cadmium represents +/- 15 of 20% of the battery weight. They are ideal for most types of domestic devices such as alarm-clocks, calculators, remote controls, torches... Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are a mixture of Nickel and Metal Hydride. They are 2 to 3 times more powerful than cadmium-based rechargeables and they have no memory effect.

quot;LI ION" stands for Lithium Ion and is the most advanced battery technology available to consumers today. Li-Ion batteries are 50% lighter than the NI MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries and will run your device about 50% longer. They are, however, more expensive.

Some laptops take Ni-Cd cells as well as Ni-Mh. However, we do not recommend changing the cell chemistry.

Li-ion (Lithium Ion). This is one of the newest cell types available. It is also the lightest battery type currently available on a commercial basis and can provide more power than the other main cell types. There are no known problems of memory effect with this battery type and it is the easiest battery type to care for. The downside of this battery is that it has the highest engineering costs and therefore the price is usually considerably higher than other cell types.

Batteries in portable consumer devices (laptops and notebooks, camcorders, digital camera, etc.) are principally...

Li-Ion cells are rapidly becoming more diffused, especially since their costs are decreasing. The characteristics of these cells, permit packs of higher performance in less bulk and weight. For portable applications, this can be a major advantage.

This is due to Digital Memory Effect (please read faq #20). All refilled laptop batteries are required to be fully charged/discharged a minimum of 3 times (3 cycles). Some batteries require over 10 cycles to fully recognize their new refilled cell capacity. Here is an e-mail from one of our customers: I also purchased the battery refill at BatteryRefill.com about a month ago. However, the battery situation was exactly the same as before.

Yes. We do refill service for Li-Ion batteries. Refill service for the Li-Ion battery pack requires not only special equipment, but also years of technical expertise.

Li-ion batteries are more ecologically friendly than NiCd batteries because they contain no cadmium and do not have to be recycled in many states. Milwaukee recommends that batteries of all types be recycled. End-users and distributors should contact the RBRC (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) or their local recycling agency for recycling locations in their area.
