I just bought a new battery for my Fujitsu-Siemens PA-1510. The battery label claimed that, in order to have a long living battery it is important to charge it at least 10 hours before the first use.
So I put it in my Notebook and connected the power. After 1 hour, the charging indicator stopped flashing, trying to convince me that the battery is fully charged. But I wanna charge it 10 hours. Is the battery still charging, even so the indicator switched from "red blinking" to "green constant". Do I have a chance at all to charge it 10 hours?
thx L2G, yes it is a lithium-ion battery. So you think my battery is still charging even with the led indicator claiming the opposite? – Max – 2011-12-07T17:52:54.847
If the battery has not yet been charged for the full 10 hours, then yes. It never hurts to charge the battery past the point where the gauge says it's fully charged; in fact, you should do so every month or so to ensure the gauge is calibrated properly. – L2G – 2011-12-07T19:42:17.387
@L2G it hurts the battery if it is fully discharged, I read. So charging even after full charge can be considered as an alternate method to calibrate? – Spandan Chatterjee – 2012-12-24T18:15:02.730
