Asus Laptop Battery Articles & Tips
Many are now wondering how I manage to get my notebook to run with 0% charge despite everyone else would end up turning off. In Windows there's an option located in Power, then click Alarms, and then uncheck the CRITICAL ALARM so that the notebook will not turn off.K53F laptop asus battery ,
The workaround temporary solution
So after testing for close to 1 week, I have found with the help of others on the forums, that turning off the Critical Alarm somewhat solves this problem.
When you turn off the Critical Alarm Windows will still show incorrect values but will allows you to continue to use the battery as is until it dies, then your notebook will shut off. However there are some implications.K53E-SX111V laptop asus battery ,
Real Battery Wear
This refers to actual battery wear, where the battery is physically deteriorating and will lose its charge. If your ACPI is bad, like mine, you will not be able to use third party programs to figure out how badly worn your battery is.K53E-SX123V laptop asus battery ,
Instead you will have to conduct a battery life test just like I did.

Asus notebook batteries can be cleaned with a drop of rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab. Gently wiping down the connectors will help to verify the best contact and performance. Over time, Asus laptop batteries will begin to fail, and no longer be able to function efficiently. At this time, the battery may not be able to be revived, and must be recycled.K53JC laptop battery ,
All Asus batteries are recyclable, and are manufactured of hazardous materials; therefore, they must be disposed of properly. When recycled, a properly disposed battery will be utilized to produce components for new and fully operational units. Recyclable Asus laptop batteries save energy costs and reduce the CO2 emissions produced through manufacturing a completely new battery.Asus Laptop batteries are specifically designed for each laptop brand and model. AtBatt.com offers a complete line of Asus batteries and compatible replacements for most laptop models. We have developed a Asus Laptop Battery Select Technology™ that will guide you in choosing the correct battery and ac adapter for your laptop. Your first step is to choose your Asus model from the list below.asus K53JF laptop battery ,
Ports and Features
A casualty of being so thin is a lack of ports; all of the ports sit at the rear because the chassis gets thinner towards the front. ASUS includes two port adapters: a USB-to-Ethernet and mini-VGA-to-VGA (which is the first time I have seen the latter on any notebook). The only major item the UX31 is lacking is a built-in HDMI port; it has mini-HDMI however you will need to purchase an adapter on your own. Asus u43f ASUS G73JH-A1,
These are relatively good specifications for the money, especially considering the large 640GB hard drive and ample 6GB of RAM. The second-generation Intel Core i5 processor should be able to tackle nearly any task without breaking a sweat, whether that be general Internet surfing or video encoding.
Build and Design
The K53E looks slim chassis at about 1.4" at the highest point. It's also very light for a notebook this size at 5.27 lbs. The palm rest area and lid of the notebook are aluminum, which has a dark copper-colored finish. It looks great and the hue changes depending on the light. The lid is more of a dark gray-colored aluminum.ASUS G73J series battery ,
Upgrade my Asus Laptop Battery from NiMH to Li-Ion
NiCad, NiMH and Li-Ion Asus laptop batteries are all fundamentally different from one another and cannot be substituted unless the laptop has been pre-configured from the manufacturer to accept more than one type of battery chemistry. Please refer to your manual to find out which rechargeable battery types the laptop device supports or use our Asus Battery Finder above to find all the compatible laptop batteries for your device. It will automatically list all of the battery chemistries supported by your specific device. If your device does allow you to upgrade the battery from NiMH to Li-Ion, you will typically get longer run times.K53J-SX216 notebook battery ,
For example, if your laptop uses a NI-MH battery that is 9.6 Volts, 4000mAh and the new li-ion laptop battery is 14.4 Volt, 3600mAh, then you will obtain longer run time with the li-ion battery.
Example.
Li-Ion: 14.4 Volts x 3.6 Amperes = 51.84 Watt Hours
Ni-MH: 9.6 Volts x 4 Amperes = 38.4 Watt Hours
The Li-Ion is stronger and has longer run time.

How can I maximize the performance of my Asus laptop battery?
There are several steps you can take to help you get maximum performance from your laptop battery:
Prevent the Memory Effect - Keep the laptop 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.Asus 70-NU51B2100Z ,
Keep the Asus laptop 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.Asus 90R-NTC2B1000Y ,
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. NiCad, NiMH and Li-Ion batteries will self-discharge during storage; remember to recharge the batteries before use.Asus A32-F70 ,
What is the run time of AtBatt's laptop battery?
Asus laptop batteries have two main ratings on them: Volts and Amperes. Because size and weight of laptop batteries is limited when compared to larger batteries such as car batteries, most companies show their ratings with Volts and Milliamperes. One thousand Milliamperes equals 1 Ampere. When buying a battery, select batteries with the most Milliamperes (or mAh). Batteries are also rated by Watt-Hours, perhaps the simplest rating of all. This is found by multiplying the Volts and the Amperes together. For example:Asus A32-M70 ,
14.4 Volts, 4000mAh (Note: 4000mAh is equal to 4.0 Amperes).
14.4 x 4.0 = 57.60 Watt-Hours
Watt-Hours signifies the energy needed to power one watt for one hour. This Asus laptop battery can power 57.60 watts for one hour. If your laptop runs at 20.50 watts, as an example, this laptop battery could power your laptop for 2.8 hours.Asus A41-M70 ,

At $1,099 MSRP the ASUS ZENBOOK is a fine product and a tempting alternative to the more-expensive MacBook Air
Pros
The implications are that you will never know the true values of charge level and battery life because the ACPI is bad and has bad coding. Many users are unaware of this thus they don't know what causes their notebook to turn off when the battery is low on charge.K53J-D1B laptop asus battery ,
Critical Alarm
Many users have their critical alarm turned on; this is used to protect their work. This is a good thing to keep on since it will protect all of your work. However, the critical alarm is also based upon the ACPI information, if the ACPI states 5% charge, then the critical alarm will put your computer into hibernate. Thus resulting in only 2 hours of battery life, when in actuality your battery still has another 30% charge or more left, which can yield another 1 hour of battery life. asus K53JA laptopbattery ,
Before acquiring a new or replacement Asus notebook battery, the necessary product/model number must be acquired from the user's manual. It can also be located on the bottom of the original Asus laptop battery, or on the support website. New and replacement Asus laptop batteries must meet the wattage and current requirements of the original hardware. The "current" requirement is measured in Ampere-hours (Ah), and indicates the length of the charge retained.K53JE laptop asus battery ,

ASUS Zenbook UX31 Full Review: MacBook Air Killer?Asus L0690LC ,
The ASUS Zenbook UX31 is one of the first "Ultrabooks" on the market -- an impossibly thin and light notebook with a beautiful high-res 13.3-inch screen, 6 hours of battery, and a price that undercuts the Apple MacBook Air.

Build and Design
The UX31 is all about design -- and it is truly stunning. Constructed almost entirely of aluminum, the UX31 is solid as, well, metal. The chassis has almost zero flex and the lid is just as strong. Even the keyboard keys are made of aluminum.ASUS 3UR18650F-2-QC-11 ,
The edges of the notebook are tapered off to give the impression the notebook is even thinner than it actually is. All corners and edges of the notebook are smoothed off and not sharp in the least; overall fit and finish is excellent.ASUS G73JH series battery ,
The UX31's lid has a darker metallic surface with has a circular pattern giving it a more robust look and feel than the competing MacBook Air. I like how the lid can be opened with one hand. The lid almost seems to be a bit too loose but I had no issues with the design during the evaluation period.
ASUS pulled out all the stops with this design and it shows. Many notebooks pass through my hands; it is not often one comes around that makes me do a double-take. The UX31 is certainly one of the few.ASUS Eee PC T91MT ASUS G73 series battery ,
