How to calibrate (full discharge)\u00a0HP presario cq42 laptop battery<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most adequate method to do a full discharge (100% to about 3%) consists of the following steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fully charge the HP CQ42 battery to its maximum capacity (100%);<\/li>\n
  2. Let the battery “rest” fully charged for 2 hours or more. You may use the computer normally within this period;<\/li>\n
  3. Go to your Power Options in the Control Panel and configure the automatic hibernation to hibernate the HP laptop computer when it reaches 3% of capacity;<\/li>\n
  4. Leave the laptop computer discharging, non-stop, until it hibernates itself. You may use the computer normally within this period;<\/li>\n
  5. When the computer shuts down completely, let it stay in the hibernation state for 5 hours or even more;<\/li>\n
  6. Plug the laptop to the AC power adapter to perform a full charge non-stop until its maximum\u00a0HP Presario cq70 Battery<\/a> capacity (100%). You may use the computer normally within this period.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Prolonged storage<\/strong><\/p>\n

    To store a HP presario cq42 notebook battery for long periods of time, its charge capacity should be around 40% and it should be stored in a place as fresh and dry as possible. A fridge can be used (0\u00baC\u00a0 – 10\u00baC), but only if the\u00a0HP 485041-003 Laptop Battery<\/a> stays isolated from any humidity.<\/p>\n

    One must say again that the battery’s worst enemy is the heat, so leaving the laptop in the car in a hot summer day is half way to kill the battery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
