The most frustrating issue with portable computing devices, such as laptops, is the poor battery run time and overall short battery life. This is the reason why many laptop owners keep additional battery packs with them while on the move. They can also be seen hunting for a new battery pack when their old battery crashes after just a few recharges. In response to such issues, Apple has come up with a new technology that, it claims, not only enhances the battery run time, but also offers a huge increase in the number of recharges.
The company has developed a new non-removable battery for laptops that offers 8 hours of juice to run the device on a single charge, even when the display size is 17 inches and some power hungry goodies such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are turned on. Apple has installed the new mighty battery in its Apple MacBook Pro 17. According to the company, the new battery has got 40 percent more capacity than the legacy batteries and can be recharged 1000 times (3 times more than the current standard).
How Apple made this possible is simple. The company is now using lithium polymers to make the new batteries that offer many advantages over conventional batteries. Besides this, the company has also introduced the concept of ‘Adaptive Charging’ that incredible improves the battery life. Instead of charging the battery at a constant rate the adaptive charging charge the battery after calculating how much recharge each individual cell needs. This directly prevents premature death of the battery.
