Battery Cycle Count

[SouravNBU]

HP support assistant says that my battery cycle count is 252/300. My question is ,, how this is calculated ??
My laptop is of 9/10 months..
What should I do to control the increase rate?
How I should charge or discharge the battery ?

When the cycle count is exceeds 300 , will the battery work ?

Someone please help..
thanks in advance..

Hi,

Normally "A charge cycle means using all of the battery’s power, but that doesn’t necessarily mean a single charge. For example, you could use your notebook for an hour or more one day, using half its charge, and then recharge it fully. If you did the same thing the next day, it would count as one charge cycle, not two, so it may take several days to complete a cycle"

(Same for many types of batteries now).

The following site will tell you all about batteries:

Depending on the quality of batteries, you can get over 700 charges or more (that why some machines can get 3 years warranty on batteries) but time between charges will get shorter.

Yes the battery will still work...but that is the expected cycle count for the battery's life in terms of time of discharge from 100% to 0% if that happens to be 4 or 5 hours then after 300 that would drop half or full hour or not at all depending how well you took care of battery, charged and allowed for proper discharge, etc...

Also to the HP expert who also replied with link...that is for apple batteries which are sealed and operate differently meaning if I recharge at 50% and do it again the next day it will count as 2 cycles not 1 as a Macbook would count it as. Totally different as they have 1000 cycle count life spans.
