User guide to replacement laptop batteries

RECELL replacement laptop battery packs are sent out in a discharged state. To achieve maximum performance and the best service life, simply insert the battery into your laptop and allow it to charge fully. Once it is fully charged, it is a good idea to fully discharge your battery (i.e. run your laptop using battery power until it switches off) then fully charge your battery once again.

It is possible that when you first put the new battery into your laptop it will show it is fully charged almost straight away, but it doesn't power the laptop for very long. This does not mean the battery is faulty, simply take out and re-insert the battery, fully charge it once again and this should solve the problem.

It may take some time for certain laptops to recognise new batteries and you may have to run a calibration program that you can access through the control panel on your laptop. If in any doubt please consult your users manual for your laptop.

Make sure that you fully discharge your battery from time to time, as this will prolong the useful service life of the battery. If you are not going to use the battery for some time (perhaps a month or more), remove it from your laptop in a fully charged state and store it in a cool dry place away from sources of heat and light.

You may notice that the power ratings of many RECELL batteries are higher than the original manufacturers' batteries. This will not damage your laptop, in fact, it simply means that replacement battery in many cases last longer than original manufacturer batteries.
