Lenovo ThinkPad X230 Battery
The Dell XPS 14 is the latest arrival in the Dell XPS ultrabook family, and its desirability factor is more powerful than ever. The updates (over the XPS 13) include a bigger display and the latest Ivy Bridge power package. The build and the materials used are still as brilliant as before - aluminum lid, magnesium palmrest with soft touch and a heat absorbing silicon base. It feels slightly heavier than what you would expect though, and is definitely on the pricier side.Lenovo 0A36285
Till now, the Dell XPS 13 ultrabook had, by far, been the perfect all rounder – with excellent looks, a very premium finish and impressive performance scores. However, the new kid on the block, the XPS 14, is looking to take over that mantle. Can it do that? From what we have seen, it surely does!

Build & Design
We were more than impressed (and considerably surprised, admittedly) with the Dell XPS 13 (read our review). The efforts Dell put in on making that ultrabook are more than acknowledged and appreciated. Even more surprising was the fact that the desired effect was achieved with possibly the most humble and minimalist ultrabook. Quite expected then, that the next generation from the same line of ultrabooks, would follow the same path. 42Y4874
The XPS 14, right out of the box, looks like one solid slab of aluminum, with a very matter to fact look. That however, doesn’t take away the fact that a lot of exotic materials have been slapped on to this ultrabook, to give it the real high-end feel. Gone is the carbon fibre that was quite predominant on the chassis of the XPS 13, and has been replaced with the triple team of aluminum, magnesium and silicon. The XPS 14’s lid has the grey aluminum finish, with the Dell logo in the middle. Open it up, and a black matte finish greets you around the keypad, and the keypad itself. The material used here is the magnesium, given a soft touch finish. Popularly known as the “rubberized” feel, we would prefer something like this any given day on our laptops over a glossy or even the remotely shiny enamel finish.

A similar finish extends to the touchpad as well, which has integrated right and left click keys. There are absolutely no quick access keys spread around the XPS 14 to ruin the looks.

On the base, the carbon fibre from the XPS 13 has given way to silicon. This is a heat absorbing material, and there is a pretty thick layer of it. Essentially, if you are using the XPS 14 on your lap for long periods, the chances of it becoming uncomfortable have been reduced to a large extent. On the near and the far sides are two channels of vents that really blow out the warm air. You should be very careful to not block any of these. 42T4873

The left side of the XPS 14 has a couple of USB ports, HDMI out and the Ethernet port. The right side has just the 3.5mm jack. With the dimensions of the laptop, particularly the thickness, exactly the same at the front and at the back, this does give the resemblance similar to a MacBook Pro.
A strip of silver runs around the entire machine, as a wraparound. Quite a nice add-on, and contrasts well with the black magnesium that is predominant once you have opened the lid of the XPS 14. 42Y4868

We really did not find any shortcomings in terms of the design, the build and the way the machine was put together. It resembles a MacBook Pro, but that is where any similarity stops. The XPS 14 has a very premium finish, and the materials used do lend it that extra classy touch. Absolutely no rough edges, so much so that we could not find any flex on any part of the chassis, including the lid! Now that does say something about the efforts that have been put into making this look and feel worthy of the price tag it commands. 42T4867

Features & Specifications
As expected, the Dell XPS 14 has the latest Intel Ivy Bridge processors. The model we received is powered by a Core i5-3317U, the same as we saw on the HP Envy 4, the Samsung Series 5 and the Sony Vaio T. The review unit is essentially the mid-range model with 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive that has a box price of Rs. 85,299.Lenovo 42T4901


Beyond the excellent build and design, the XPS 14 continues to impress. The 14-inch display has a resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels. This is more than the 1366 x 768 pixel resolution that most ultrabooks in this price range tend to offer. The results are rather impressive – the display is a lot crisper than what most ultrabook displays offer. There is a lot of goodness in terms of the specs here as well – the Gorilla Glass with the edge-to-edge deployment doing away the need for a plastic bezel. Lenovo 42Y4864

This is brighter than the HP Envy 4-1002TX and the Samsung Series 5, but just like the XPS 13, handles colours very well. The sharpness, added to the excellent colour handling, makes this the perfect companion for watching a movie on the move. The only negative we can find with this display is that it is slightly reflective, and slightly more than the HP Envy and even the predecessor. You will have to turn up the brightness to compensate for the reflections from the environment, but that does not wash out the colours! 42T4863

As with most keyboards, it is more of a personal matter of preference and comfort. The keyboard on the XPS 14 is the type that will feel a tad flat in the beginning. The key size is slightly wider than the usual, but once you get used to the layout, this keyboard does offer a very precise feel. The travel is adequate, and the keys have a nice sounding thud. The backlighting is quite good, with the keys as well as rows illuminated in a white cool colour. The touchpad also has the soft feel, with the integrated right and left click keys. In terms of response, it is quite consistent and assured, and even slightly moist fingers don’t make it jump around.Lenovo 0A36283
The area around the keyboard is completely uncluttered, thanks to no quick access keys cluttering up the look. The power key also blends in very well with the black coloured finish.

Our review unit has a 500GB hard drive, with 32GB flash storage dedicated for caching tasks. This has become a regular feature in most of the newer ultrabooks, and the real world usage performance boost is immense. However, this is something we had mentioned in the review of the HP Envy 4 as well – Neither HP nor Dell offer a nifty little software like Samsung, that lets you manually enable or disable the flash storage, and manually clean it up if you want to.Lenovo 0A36282

Performance
With the same processor as the HP Envy 4 and the Samsung Series 5, we did not expect the performance to be very different. While the Dell and the HP get 4GB of RAM as standard, Samsung offers 6GB with the Series 5. As far as benchmarks were concerned, all three machines did pretty similar scores, thanks to the relatively similar hardware.Lenovo 0A36281

In the PC Mark 07 test, the XPS 14 scores 3159 while the Envy 4 isn’t far behind with 3150 clocked. The Samsung Series 5 did score a bit less with 2371, but that shouldn’t take away anything from the fact that the performance is still rather good. Samsung gets its own back in the PC Mark Vantage test with a score of 7465, which is higher than the 7383 the XPS 14 scored. The HP Envy 4, incidentally, had a whopping score of 9966 in the same test.Lenovo 42T4878

In terms of real life usability, all three machines offer a relatively similar experience – quick startup, zippy application response, no slowdowns while multi-tasking and a generally smooth Windows experience. The critical bit is the additional flash storage for the caching tasks, and while Samsung has 24GB of that, HP and Dell offer 32GB each. This is over and above the conventional HDD that will be the primary storage device.Lenovo 42T4877

Gaming is where the HP Envy takes the advantage, thanks to the more powerful AMD Radeon HD7670M (2GB) graphics solution. While the Nvidia GeForce GT630M (1GB) on the XPS does stand up to the 7670M on the Envy for quite a while, it does lose out in the frame rate stakes. In the Unigene benchmark test, the GT630M scores 17.8 while the Radeon HD 7670M on the Envy scores an impressive 25.9 FPS. The performance is verified by the CineBench OpenGL test – 30.26 for the XPS 14 and 33.78 for the HP Envy 4.Lenovo 0A36286

In our full stress load battery tests, the XPS 14’s battery lasted 210 minutes on a single charge – that is 3 hours and 30 minutes. Translate that into a traditional daily usage routine at work or at home checking mails and browsing the web with the brightness slightly less than 50%, we got a backup very similar to the HP Envy 4 – around 7 hours easily.

good power tool battery-DEWALT DC540K Battery


A good cordless tool battery will help a tool perform its best, and this buying guide gives shoppers the info they need to get the most out of their cordless tools.
Because the battery is what makes it possible for cordless tools to do their work, choosing the type of battery technology that the tool uses is almost as important as the choice of tool itself.

For example, if the battery's capacity, charge time, or storage characteristics are mismatched to the work or user, the expensive tool it's attached to might not do the user much good.
Cordless power tools are used all over, and they're becoming even more plentiful. Manufacturers release more cordless models, and more powerful models, every year. On top of that, power tool battery technology is also seeing rapid changes. This means that there are more battery options out there (and we'll probably be seeing more), and that many of those batteries are expected to do heavier work than ever before.

The best thing that shoppers can do is be as informed as possible about battery designs, performance, specifications, and features to keep up with the industry. The information in this article gives cordless tool users and shoppers the head-start they need to choose the right rechargeable battery types for their cordless tools, and then get the most out of them.


Rechargeable Battery Characteristics

There are a few terms and characteristics about rechargeable batteries that shoppers should become familiar with before setting out to make a cordless power tool purchase.

Things that affect a battery's overall life and run time are usually the determining factors when power tool battery shoppers zero in on a decision (after cost of course), so most of the characteristics explained below have some influence on how long a battery will last.

cycle life-

The overall life of the battery, usually expressed as the number of charge cycles that it can withstand before completely losing its charge capacity or ability to transfer energy. For example, NiCd batteries tend to have a cycle life of 1,000 charges (cycles) or more.

All rechargeable batteries eventually wear out, although they wear out for different reasons.

Age, use, and memory effect can all contribute to the inevitable death of a power tool battery, depending on the battery type.

Users often have to choose between a long cycle life and other attractive features, like run time. For example, because they can run longer between charges than other battery types, the shorter cycle life of Li-Ion batteries isn't usually a problem for users who care more about keeping their tool in operation for longer periods.

self-discharge-

All rechargeable batteries slowly lose their charge when not in use, but some batteries lose their charge much faster than others.

For some users, batteries with fast self-discharge rates aren't a problem, especially if their cordless tool's see little or no storage. Batteries with a slower self-discharge rate become more important for tool users who plan to user their cordless tools only occasionally.

voltage-

Voltage determines how much power a battery can deliver at a given time. Simply, cordless tools with higher voltage are more powerful.

Rechargeable power tool batteries are usually a cluster of individual cells. The combined voltage of the cells determines the battery's overall voltage; however, different types of batteries (NiCD, NiMH, Li-Ion) have different individual battery cell voltage capacities.

For example, the battery for an 18v cordless drill with a lithium battery would consist of around 4 individual Li-Ion battery cells, because Li-Ion batteries can typically deliver 3.6v-4.2v per cell. Individual cell voltage for NiCd and NiMH batteries are about 1.2v and 1.4-1.6v, respectively.

Very roughly, and with some overlap, the scale for matching tool voltage to workload is like this:

Light Work: 7v-15v
Medium Work: 12v-18v
Heavy Work: 18v-36v

capacity (run time)-

This is the amount of time a battery can operate its tool between charges. A battery's capacity it usually expressed as the amount of amperage hours (Ah) that it can deliver.

"Ah" is different than the tool's overall amperage rating (the current at which the tool operates). Instead, Ah represents how much energy flow the battery can hold, not the level of current during operation.

When shopping for cordless tools and their batteries, just remember that a higher Ah means longer battery use between charges.

deep discharge-

Deep discharge means allowing a tool battery to completely drain of energy through normal operation. Deep discharge can be a problem for some batteries, and drastically reduce a battery's cycle life and capacity. For other battery types, deep discharge is not a problem.

Also , some batteries require deep discharge periodically to keep the battery healthy. This additional maintenance can be a hassle for users who do not use their cordless tools often.

memory effect-

Memory effect happens when a battery is charged over and over again without being allowed to fully drain. The idea is that somehow the battery "remembers" how much it is being recharged, and then adopts the shorter charge range as its new charge capacity.

Interestingly (and confusingly), the nickel based batteries that are susceptible to memory effect retain their capacities best when they are charged after dropping to only 70% of their capacity. However (and this is the trick), they must be allowed to deep discharge periodically so that the battery "remembers" its true capacity.

Some rechargeable batteries are sensitive to "memory effect," and some are not.

 

 

Power Tool Battery Tips

Black & Decker Power Tool Battery Articles & Tips

Are 3rd Party Black & Decker Batteries Compatible to My Black & Decker Charger?
AtBatt’s 3rd party power tool batteries were designed to work with your OEM Black & Decker battery charger. Most of our power tool batteries are made with the same Japanese battery cells used in OEM batteries with the highest industry standards. AtBatt’s batteries are designed to original manufacturer’s specifications, and will meet or exceed original Black & Decker batteries and not void manufacturer’s warranty.

How can I maximize the performance of my Black & Decker battery?
There are several steps you can take to help you get maximum performance from your power tool battery:

Prevent the Memory Effect - Keep the power tool battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries which do not suffer from the memory effect.

Keep the Black & Decker Batteries Clean - It's a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and the portable device.

Exercise the Battery - Do not leave the battery dormant for long periods of time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. If a laptop battery has not been used for a long period of time, perform the new battery break in procedure described above.

Battery Storage - If you don't plan on using the laptop battery for a month or more, store it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects.

Understanding your Black & Decker Battery needs
We strive to make you power tool battery purchases easy. Since we understand that finding the right batteries for your needs can be overwhelming and confusing at times we developed a power tool battery finder tool to help find the right size for the make and model of your equipment. We also offer educational articles and tips to help you conserve your batteries and understand common problems. By us providing education you are able to make the right purchasing decisions as well as provide proper care for all of your electronics.

How can I prolong the life of my battery?

There are several things you can do to help extend the life of your battery. First, store it separate from the tool to which it belongs. Do not leave it in the charger when it is fully charged. Second, keep it in a place that has a fairly consistent temperature. Finally, if dealing with Nickel based batteries, make sure that the battery is fully discharged before recharging it.

Can I recharge an old power tool battery after it seems to have stopped taking a charge?

There is a belief that you can recondition your old nickel based battery. Nickel based batteries will crystallize after a period of time and use. Some people say that you can break up the crystallization by running the battery at a very low volt (.5V or less) over a long period of time and doing this over and over a couple of times as the battery drains. However, this process can take a long time and has not been scientifically proven to work, so in most cases, your best bet is to replace the old battery.

How long will my power tool last with a fresh charge?

That question can only be answered by how you use your power tool. For example, when using a drill your usage time can vary based on the speed you use. Drilling into steel will use more power than drilling into wood or drywall.

Here are some formulas to help give you an idea of how long the battery will last.

Amp hours = number of amps x number of hours
Amp hours / number of amps = number of hours

If my original power tool battery is an NiCD battery, can I use a different chemistry battery?

That would depend on both your charger and power tool. A lot of chargers will charge NiMH batteries and a few others will charge Li-Ion. However, even if your charger will do this, your power tool might not. It is best in these situations, to check your user manual or contact the manufacturer to find out the technical specs of your model.

Power Tools - Best Practices for DC540K Battery Pack Life

 

REBATT UK has identified a market for the recycling and refurbishment [re-celling] of dry celled batteries under the Battery & Accumulators Regulation 1991/157/EC and Special Waste Regulations 1991 & 1996.

We are in our second year of trading having re-celled cordless power tool batteries for Wakefield Metropolitan District Council, Leeds Building Agency, Barnsley MBC plus many trade customers. We have recently added BMW/Mini Manufacturing, MG Rover Group and UCI Logistics to our customer profile. Peugeot Citroen and Toyota have also expressed an interest in power tool battery refurbishment and recycling.

The process involves the opening of the battery case and the removal of the ‘spent’ cells. The same casing and components are re-used with a new cell pack. Screwed battery packs are opened more easily with an indefinite life span providing the cases are not damaged. Sealed battery packs can be used up to 2-3 times before reaching the full life cycle.

The refurbishment technique can be applied to the majority of plastic battery packs across a different range of products. For example, cordless power tools, portable bar code scanner batteries [HHT], radio controlled battery packs. In the near future laptop computer batteries will be refurbished.

A new cell pack replaces the old one and the cases are re-closed and tested before being supplied back to the customer for re-use at a lower cost, yet still have the same performance and reliability as a new battery. The new cells and re-processing of the battery case carry a 12 month guarantee providing normal use is practised as indicated in the manufacturer’s instructions.

It has been proven that our cells will not affect the working performance of the power tool because REBATT UK only increases the working capacity [Amp hours]

When the sealed battery pack has reached its ‘full life-cycle’ the batteries are re-opened and the cells are removed. The cases are then supplied to plastic recycling companies and the spent cells are transported to steel recycling plants in France. Both materials are re-used as an available resource.

This method is known as the ‘closed loop system’ or ‘landfill diversion’ because the battery casings and spent cells are recycled and not dispatched to landfill sites which have been the case for many years.

Nickel cadmium and nickel metal hydride and lithium-ion cells contain chemically active materials that are hazardous to the environment; therefore they should be disposed of properly through a recognized REBATT collection center or Local Authority recycling transfer station.

For example:
