I use the same UPS to protect my flat screen TV and use a long extension cord over to my LT. Granted a $35 battery may not be worth the trouble to do this, but a battery made in china may be safer to not be left unattended.

I only charge up the LT battery to full when I’m going to need it or when it’s likely we will have a power outage due to the weather. I’ve read that some LT’s won’t power up without a battery inserted. This has worked on the HP and Dell LT’s I have owned. That prevents the wear and tear on a battery that is trickle charged 24/7.
I use a UPS on one of the battery outlets to power my laptop. I charge the battery to 40% and then take it out for long term storage. Here is what I do to make my LT batteries last for years. (Sorry, but I trust Marketing as far as I can throw an anvil, having been in Engineering, and had them run everything “What, it can’t do that? I told them it could do that! Make it do that!”) 🙂 I’ll always wonder about that 54%, tho, and if the batts and/or circuitry are made to start acting up at that point to get you to buy a new batt before the old one goes kablooey completely. The old Dell did last a long time, though, but then I mostly run off A/C with this machine, and a great deal of those “cycles” were partials. Transients, sunspots, neutron rays, variations in the Earth’s magnetic field…but it probably was the old batt. Well, as we have the issue solved, and I have an old spare battery now, and my wallet is holiday-light to the max (or minimum), we’ll never know, as the issue went away while the old batt was still in it. A little bit of Marketing push and shove? I’d say the end of a batt’s useful life would be at about 33% or 20%, not 54%. Is there a “non-useful life”? I’d call that dead, not 54%. I always wonder, tho, about the old batt, and Dell’s diagnostic warning that at 55% health, it was “Towards the end of it’s useful life.” Passed all the tests in the Dell Diagnostics, so we’re good for form, fit and function. Ran it through the initial charge to 100% and down to 20% twice as per good practice with a new batt, and it seems to be holding up pretty nicely so far. (Dell’s 5-year old 1100-cycle batt in this laptop had the _cells_ made in Japan, but the batt _assembled_ in China.) A “Poder” Non-OEM, it’s made totally in China it’s very thinly etched into the plastic, almost invisible, and sold out of a warehouse a few miles from me. Well, whatever it was, a new battery seems to have fixed it. Hoping to get a fix here before I run out of power as this is my only PC! The laptop was fine when I left it, came home, hooked it up and this nonsense started. This should not cause this issue, tho, I think.
Gone through the diagnostics (f12) at boot, and it insists the charger is fine, but the battery is 55% health, or so-so.Went into Device Manager, uninstalled and reinstalled the APCI power managers (there were three)-same issue.Ran the laptop off right at the outlet, bypassing the UPS-same issue.
