Does it seem like no matter what you do, your computer is always out of battery power? It might be time to replace the battery. Every battery has a designed capacity-basically the amount of charge that it's designed to hold. Over time batteries lose their ability to hold a charge. This means that even though you're fully charging your battery, the actual amount of power that the battery can hold is going down.

Some of the telltale signs that your battery is going bad are shorter use times, and subsequently, shorter times to recharge. If you notice the amount of time you can spend unplugged is going down, then chances are your battery has lost much of its ability to hold a charge. Another sign that your battery might be on the wane is that it takes less time to recharge. A battery that's going bad might also cause your computer to turn off or hibernate unexpectedly, even if the battery meter displays ample capacity remaining (70 or 80 percent).

Fortunately, Windows can help you know when your battery is unable to hold a full charge. When your battery gets down to 40 percent of its original capacity (that is, it can only hold 40 percent or less of its designed capacity after it has been charged), you'll see a notification via the battery meter icon that your battery might be going bad. This notification is new in Windows 7-earlier versions of Windows can't notify you when your battery is going bad. If you don't want to receive this notification, you can turn it off by clearing the check box on the battery meter.

Battery meter showing a notification that a battery might be going bad

Many batteries will show signs of problems well before reaching 40 percent of their original capacity. Also, many computer manufacturers have programs that you can use to measure the performance of your battery. These programs might be more sensitive to battery problems and should be used first to check the condition of your computer's battery. For more information about solutions to this problem, see Solutions to common battery problems.

Note

Some computer manufacturers report the designed capacity of their batteries to be the level of the last full charge, so it's possible that your battery might be below the warning threshold without giving you any warning. If your computer continues to run out of battery too quickly, but your battery meter shows that it's fully charging, it might be time to consider replacing your battery. Check with your computer manufacturer for information about replacing your battery.

Using the battery meter to monitor power consumption

• The battery meter is a handy tool located in the notification area of the Windows taskbar that makes it easy for you to keep an eye your computer's power consumption. The battery meter icon indicates whether your laptop is plugged in or whether it's running on battery power . When you point to the battery meter, you can see the percentage of battery charge remaining as well as an estimate of how much time you have until you'll need to plug your computer in.


• When you click the battery meter icon, you can get more information-like which power plan you're using and, if you have more than one battery, how much charge is left in your second battery. You can also change power plans and access additional settings for managing more power options. For more information, see Battery meter: frequently asked questions.

Using power plans to save your battery

One of the easiest ways to save your battery without affecting the performance of your computer is to use one of the built-in power plans that come with Windows. Power plans are basically collections of hardware and software settings that control how your computer uses power. There are two power plans that come with Windows that are useful for laptops:

Balanced. This is the plan that most laptops use by default. It offers full performance and display brightness when you need it and saves power during periods of inactivity.

Power saver. This plan can help you get the most from a single battery charge. It saves power by reducing system performance and screen brightness.

In addition to the power plans that come with Windows, your computer manufacturer might offer additional plans. You can also create your own power plan, or customize the settings for one of the existing plans. For more information, see Change, create, or delete a power plan (scheme).

Getting the most out of your battery

In addition to using power plans to get the most mileage out of a battery charge, it's also important to take care of your battery to make sure you get the most life out of it.

• Make sure you're following the manufacturer's instructions for charging and maintaining your battery. Only use a charger and power cord supplied by the manufacturer.


• Don't let your battery get too hot (or too cold). A hot battery is a sign of trouble and usually means that your battery isn't working properly. You should stop using it right away. Also, make sure that your battery isn't exposed to extreme temperatures. Batteries are designed to work best at room temperatures. Avoid using (or even storing) batteries in extreme temperature conditions.


• Use your battery to keep it fresh. Don't keep your computer plugged in all the time. It's a good idea to discharge and then recharge your laptop battery about once a month. Also, you should let your battery run down before you recharge it.

Initial success of industrial restructuring

Municipal Development and Reform Commission responsible person that the information industry during the first half of this year's economic data increased considerably, because the low base last year. Therefore, the current overall economic growth should be viewed as the resumption of growth. In addition, in the first half of the city's information industry growth rate high, but the growth rate in June slowed down compared to May, taking into account the base of the second half of last year, is picking up, the second half of the growth of information industry than on slow half year is expected to complete the information industry industrial output value 40 billion.

Current industrial restructuring has achieved initial success, economic efficiency has improved significantly. January to June, the scale of electronic information industry realized main business income of 19.758 billion yuan, an increase of 80.99%. OPE up to 8.20%, higher than the same period in 2008, 3.6 percentage points.

At present, some enterprises orders was good, but cost pressures increased, labor, material costs, export a high proportion of foreign exchange influenced by the price, because foreign currency-denominated export products, down, or if the foreign exchange revaluation and, ultimately, the RMB less income. This year the euro, the European market-oriented enterprises to greater losses. Part of the business in July, August, orders have been significantly better than the second quarter, market conditions in September is not clear.

Municipal Development and Reform Commission that the relevant person in charge, the information industry and high export-oriented, and closely related to the international market, the international repercussions of the financial crisis, many uncertainties still exist, market volatility that may arise at any time. Therefore, any one factor over the expected changes are likely to adversely affect the development of information industry.

Battery, power station into a new energy vehicles for the most part of investment value

In the new energy automotive industry, which area of the "cake" Max? With the emergence of new energy technologies, enterprises in the internal combustion engine vehicle shine era cases are being replaced by another, many companies want to cross the original parts threshold, a manufacturer of a vehicle. Analysts believe that, in terms of market increments, battery, motor and other parts manufacturers to benefit the most, even more important is that these parts manufacturer or the automobile industry will change the existing pattern.

Industry experts said that in the internal combustion engine era, the value of complete vehicle business, which accounts for 25% of a car, 75% of the cost in parts and components suppliers. In the era of electric vehicles, a car nearly 90 percent of manufacturing costs will be spent on parts and components sectors, much of it is that the car battery.

"The battery is new energy automotive industry chain, the most important and most valuable part of an investment with conventional cars, the new energy automotive batteries determines the basic performance of the vehicle's driving performance." Hongyuan Securities analyst Wang Jing said .

Battery is the core of new energy vehicles, the most critical components, as predicted lithium-ion batteries will soon become a mainstream alternative to nickel-hydrogen batteries power batteries, lithium batteries power the new energy vehicles for demand-pull as the brightest body focus. Clearly, the lithium-ion battery, motor, electronic control and other related industrial chain of electric car companies will face even greater opportunities for development.

"Europe, the United States, Japan, in the traditional engine cars have a large advantage, hybrid HEV in Japan have a large advantage, but a large number of patent applications in China in the two paths are difficult to exceed the foreign industry in China selected Plug-in hybrid PHEV, EV electric car industry, long-term development road in line with the target, while China in the battery, motor, lithium, rare earth resources have a comparative advantage, favor long-term development of new energy vehicles. "CRE securities analysts Gregory believes that the basic power to determine the route of lithium battery positive.

"The new energy policy support for larger vehicles, has made clear its long-term development path, gradually nurturing the market needs, but may be-than-expected progress in the development of electric vehicles, batteries benefit from a larger variety of China has been more negative and the electrolyte mature, positive will gradually mature, production is now mainly in the stability problem to solve. lithium long-term development is the trend. "CRE Securities expects the new energy vehicles in 2012 will exceed 10 million units, which 6 billion battery industry can lead the market in the next three annual compound growth of more than 50%.

Another forecasts that the power lithium battery is likely in the next 10 to 20 years to develop into a several hundred billion-dollar global market, and a few dominant companies will gain most of the growth of the industry results. Therefore, Huatai Securities analyst recommendations Yao Hongguang, the company's investment in this area should be "re-light price" principle, in the company's future strategy for the emerging high-quality competition in the industry can bring a higher probability of winning the potential growth returns , will be much higher than the increase in short-term high cost of investment valuation. Currently in development and production of lithium-based listed companies sailing shares and 100 million influx of money universal Wei Li, etc., to produce lithium-based components have Fosugufen, Topband shares Shanshangufen, China Fang Textile, China Baoan, Foshan lighting.

New energy vehicles will quickly pull the other industry is supporting the construction of power plants. Power station construction company has been charging full swing, the national network planning and construction in 2010 75 electric car charging stations, more than 6000 charging pile, together with South Network project, the end total will be built more than 100 charging stations. Great Wall Securities expects the State Grid Corporation completed in 2015 the construction of the capital city, charging stations built in 4000, to 2020 10 000 charging stations. Grid Company's strategy is to build into a network of new energy vehicles and the use of distributed energy storage systems can enhance the power as a proportion of final energy consumption. Meanwhile, the infrastructure supporting the construction of the development of new energy vehicles in China has provided a guarantee.

Jing Xian, Shenzhen, tens of thousands of battery of a roadside

At 21:00 on the 20th, in Luohu District, near the town of Conde entertainment, Jingxian tens of thousands of cells, including half of the packaging intact, the rest of the cell surface has decomposed. Passers-by have to guess the battery source.

According to witnesses, Mr. Liu, a walk and found out last night around Sungang street full of people, squeeze him and saw that there are tens of thousands of cell stack in the street. Liu curious, picked from the heap cell battery with six complete home package.

Lithium iron phosphate batteries power the city's new electric car

In the post-industrial era, the popularity of the car much faster than our imagination, and efficient in bringing the convenience of a large number of exhaust emissions, but also adds a lot of pressure to the environment, and as oil prices and caused carbon dioxide emissions of greenhouse effects and other problems highlighted, it is an urgent need to find new energy to replace traditional energy sources. Liquid hydrogen, fuel cells are a good choice, but there are high prices, immature technology and other issues, ordinary lead-acid battery costs are relatively low, but weight, low energy density, short life, there is also a potential heavy metal pollution. Chengdu into a "zero discharge" of all-electric buses, attracted widespread attention, this all-electric buses using the new lithium iron phosphate as its power core, this new generation of green power electric cars has many features and advantages .

Very high security

To serve as vehicle dynamics and safety is the overriding consideration. Despite the general safety of lithium batteries can be the basic guarantee, but there is a fire in extreme conditions, the possibility of explosion. Lithium iron phosphate as a second-generation lithium products, their physical properties and stability, coupled with the battery pack built-in overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, overcharge protection, the fire does not explode, is the only absolute safety of lithium-ion battery.

As a result of high thermal stability of materials and careful process design, battery safety and reliability has increased significantly. And improper use of lithium in the explosions may occur compared to the lithium iron phosphate even thrown into the fire will not explode. High temperature stability up to 400-500 ° C, the internal battery to ensure high security; will not overcharge, overheating, short circuit, the impact on the explosion or combustion. Rigorous safety testing, even in the worst traffic accident will not explode.

Long life and low cost

As battery life (cycle performance) and total cost of ownership is closely related to ordinary lithium battery life of 500 times per cycle compared to the lithium iron phosphate at room temperature to 1500 charge-discharge cycle capacity retention rate of 95% above, while 50% of the capacity of the life cycle is reached more than 2,000 times the battery life of more than 50 continuous miles kilometers, you can use about five years, is eight times the lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries 3 times, is lithium cobalt oxide is about 4 times. Coupled with its production cost is lower than normal on its own lithium battery, no doubt can greatly reduce the use of electric cars and maintenance costs.

At the same time discharge performance of lithium iron phosphate is also very excellent, smooth power curve, and strong resistance to over-discharge, lithium batteries in general lower than 3.2V, then the discharge is put off, may result in scrap. However, in 2.8V lithium iron phosphate, there was a release of energy, lower than 2.5V scrapped problem does not exist.

Easy to use treatment

We know that the nickel-metal hydride, nickel cadmium batteries there is a strong memory effect, there are certain common lithium battery memory effect problem, need to try to "full release", the daily use of electric cars will cause inconvenience, but no lithium iron phosphate This phenomenon, self-discharge; no memory effect, no matter what state the battery can be charged with with the use, without first place finish and then charging the battery quick charge feature of the excellent, dedicated charger with fast charge, 95 half-hour can be sufficient percent. Battery life after the end of the deal with the problem, also deserves our attention, lithium iron phosphate does not contain any heavy metals and rare metals, non-toxic, non-polluting, compliance, absolute green, lead acid batteries there are a lot of lead in their waste after it is handled properly, will constitute a secondary environmental pollution, and lithium iron phosphate material in terms of production and use, are non-polluting.

Overall, lithium iron phosphate as a new generation of lithium battery materials, is absolutely reliable for its safety, long cycle life, stable platform, the advantages of charging and discharging of the global battery experts strongly respected, worthy of a new generation of electric cars green Power's core products, along with its practical application in the electric bus successfully demonstrated, will gradually replace lead-acid batteries, Chengdu, in the current public use of electric bicycles has been widely used.

Green photovoltaic industry lies in the refining of silicon

"Solar silicon refining + tracking + condenser + high efficiency concentrator silicon cells," the third generation of photovoltaic power generation for "green" and was optimistic about the industry wide, which, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences researcher at the Institute of Theoretical Physics held last week Zuoxiu 2010 China (East Sea) silicon industry development forum to present ideas, in the third generation of photovoltaic power generation, based on the development of green photovoltaic industry, the key is to make "solar + energy," the joint refining of silicon technology to industry.

There is now doubt the existence of the photovoltaic industry, the PV industry in many sectors that are high energy consumption, high pollution, energy recovery would only need at least 2 to 3 years. This Zuoxiu said the high cost of photovoltaic power generation and high energy mainly from the Preparation of solar grade polysilicon process. The third generation of solar photovoltaic power generation is the core of refining silicon, the consumption of solar energy, not fossil fuels, non-operating fully to avoid the crucible crucible contamination present this new technology has been able to stabilize the property of silicon yield large 80% in high-purity silicon, energy consumption per kilogram less than 30 kWh. However, it is somewhat regrettable that the method can only focus on solar energy into light about the size of tennis balls, and a daily average of only smelting 6 hours.

Zuoxiu that, compared with intermediate frequency furnace (a change in the frequency of AC 50Hz 300Hz to 1000Hz frequency power supply unit) can not be completely avoided, although silicon refining crucible contamination, but the frequency of solar furnace can be gathered in the football, volleyball, even the size of the crucible in basketball, and smelting 24 hours a day. Siemens with the most commonly used method than even the yield of silicon smelting furnace IF only 50%, Siemens can significantly reduce the high energy consumption and high pollution, power consumption is only a modified Siemens 1 / 5 ~ 1 / 3, and low cost. Currently, the use of intermediate frequency furnace has been refining high-purity silicon to create a high conversion rate of solar cells.

Zuoxiu that the solar silicon refining the concept and refining of silicon technology for medium frequency induction furnace is the key to achieve green PV, solar furnace and intermediate frequency furnace combined "solar + energy" can produce a variety of refining silicon purity polysilicon and single crystalline silicon, to meet different market needs. Once the joint refining of silicon technology to the industry, will break the crystalline silicon cells, thin film cells the existing market structure, the PV industry will also become a green industry.

Currently, built in Wuwei in Gansu "4 times the condenser + rotary track", the peak power of 1 MW of small PV power station, has become the "green" power of a presentation window, power generation, substantially lower costs, the use of polysilicon costs have dropped to conventional flat plate silicon solar cells 1 / 5 ~ 1 / 4.

TechVentures partner Lin Ting: promising wind power accessories market

In TechVentures, I specialized in clean energy investment. In my opinion, first consider where the investment company industry, the market, if the market itself is only 10 billion, two billion, then we certainly will not vote. Chain analysis will be done at different points in time to see which part of the value chain positioning is the highest, we find a value proposition as part of a high.

In my opinion, first consider where the investment company industry, the market, if the market itself is only 10 billion, two billion, then we certainly will not vote. Chain analysis will be done at different points in time to see which part of the value chain positioning is the highest, we find a value proposition as part of a high.

Top wind energy industry is the material, many materials, technologies such as blade technology in epoxy resin, China is not the majority, or to rely on imports, or out of China do not recognize the customer; times the upper reaches of the components, like bridging wind power; do the whole middle and lower reaches of the wind farm is doing, wind can not vote, because most are losing money, the machine can not play, because that is the country's. Wind farm developer is actually the power of the developer, the developer of China's electric power to five, and with some of the local power company, to do the whole key is to get the wind farm orders must have a national background or with five Power has a good relationship is possible. This shows that we can only do aftermarket.

Bridging the last round of wind power production of wind turbine hub, the cabin seat, spindle of the three major parts. In 2008 just up the wind energy industry, bridging in this industry which has been able to produce large-scale wind power hub, indicating very powerful. At that time do wind power facilities of the enterprises, the production of large pieces of fan hub also only four or five home.

Each production cycle for large machine tools for more than two years, price is also $ 5 million to tens of millions range; and bridging of wind power each device needs only about half of the production cycle; In addition, this type of heavy industry plants have special requirements, required width of 25 meters above the road (Crane) tonnage of 50 tons, the cost of building such a plant is basically three times the general industrial plant.

Bridge Alliance has its own design, casting, processing capacity. Have the ability to be in process equipment design, process design of the above advantage than others, because people are buying their own advantage, this is definitely not as good as your own devices to understand more deeply. Technically, the customer acceptance does not endorse, and read process to see the quality of the product is not in line with customer requirements, higher yields, higher efficiency, better matching of materials, such costs will be low.

Now the production of large wheels of the company across the country twenty or thirty, the overall strength of the wind power is about bridging the third. Third scale. In 2009 industrial output value of wind power bridged five billion sales revenue. Its customers now essentially a domestic and foreign each half, Denmark's main overseas customers Vestas, India's Suzlon, the Netherlands, EWT, Japan's Mitsubishi and so on. When companies turn to the financial crisis is very timely, Dongfeng such domestic auto companies are also their customers.

Overall, investment in wind power bridging the value of the intellectual base is reflected in the participation in the layout of the wind power industry, an industry leader in investment, increase the intellectual base of the brand and ultimately make money.

The wind energy market is still very strong, although the capacity is too large, but the excess capacity is poor, quality is not the capacity, bridging, or in short supply, so no excess.

New energy industry, in any field are worth the investment, the key is to look at objects which are part of the industrial chain, which segments, which company.

We are also very concerned about the field of electric vehicles. Key depends on which part of the chain to vote for. We have also seen a lot of batteries, nickel metal hydride batteries, lithium iron phosphate battery technology is not very mature. Lithium iron phosphate is well, I also saw the company again, has been used in the battery, but consistency, security, power on the market have not yet verified, so read some of the manufacturers, the basic still used in electric tools, vacuum cleaner abroad above the car's battery is not used above, the most advanced electric bicycles will be used in the above.

In the industry chain, the most upstream of the materials, battery materials, batteries, a battery is not enough light, but also motor and control system, followed by two high-tech. Then the electric car design and manufacturing. Finally, there are charging stations, battery charging stations and there was, but that is a large energy storage battery. Charging station there are a variety of charging devices, in fact, charging a relatively high-tech equipment, to be very efficient fast. There charging station operations, and now we all see the electric car is a big industry, CNPC, CNOOC, National Grid have come, private enterprises is difficult to do.

The electric car manufacturing, due to funding requirements involved in all aspects of resource requirements to integrate a very large project, not from scratch can be done, and are based on the original car manufacturers do, we do not think there investment opportunities, perhaps in the batteries, motors, electronic control and charging devices above may invest.

Vehicle fuel cell industry high-profile

With crude oil prices continue upward trend of the market, vehicle fuel is facing tremendous cost pressures, while car burning gasoline, diesel fuel caused by environmental pollution, but also attracts worldwide attention. Like this kind of problem, a time for alternative fuel vehicle research and development, attaches great importance to the industry to become a hot topic, but also as to their application and promotion of accelerated pace.

Alternative fuel vehicle is defined in addition to a variety of gasoline and diesel fuel, for now, this type of alternative fuel vehicle, including liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas, methanol, ethanol, ethers, biomass diesel, hydrogen fuel, fuel batteries. Throughout all these alternative fuel vehicle, in addition to hydrogen fuel cells, other alternative fuel vehicles, there are various limitations or drawbacks, and restricts their application.

However, hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles using such alternative fuels, because of its unique advantages, much the people's attention. Such as hydrogen, which can be prepared through fossil fuels outside, but also by biomass, wind, solar, water energy and other renewable energy sources or nuclear energy conversion from. We are easy to get sex from their energy, renewable, and safety and environmental protection point of view, is the other alternative fuel vehicles can not match. Hydrogen as the carrier body can gradually replace oil is that people's "post-oil era" mobile energy solutions. The hydrogen fuel cell is ideal for conversion device, is the key to the use of hydrogen energy technologies. Therefore, the fuel cell will in the future in its absolute advantage in the development of alternative fuel vehicles have sprung up everywhere.

Over the past decade, the fuel cell industry was the world's attention, the technology has been rapid development of industrial scale is increasingly expanding. According to the survey in 2005, the global fuel cell applications has reached 14,500, compared to a 32% increase in 2004, at the same time, promote the use of fuel cells worldwide has been the rapid growth of hydrogen fuel stations have also continued to increase. With the declining cost of fuel cells and technical maturity increases, expected around 2010, the price of fuel cells will have the ability to compete with internal combustion engines. By then, the U.S. market for fuel cell-powered vehicles will account for 4% of the U.S. car market share of fuel cell vehicles in Japan and Western Europe will be a market share of 4.5% and 3.7% in 2020, fuel cell vehicles will account for 25% of the world auto market. Currently, the fuel cell vehicle market, although not large, the United States in 2002 is 225 million, but after five years, average annual growth rate of 84% in 2007 to reach $ 47.6 million. Vehicle fuel cell component market is currently $ 120 million, but the next five years, is expected to average annual growth rate of 91%. It is predicted that the global automotive fuel cell market will grow from $ 600 million in 2008 to 2013 $ 10 billion.

For a long time, China's fuel cell industry by the country's attention from the "95", "15" and now the "Eleventh Five-Year", every year significant spending on research and development work related. After years of development, China in the field of fuel cell technology level has increased dramatically, with almost the same abroad, which laid the fuel cell industry, the future of our business process foundation. Constraints has been the commercialization of fuel cells is the biggest impediment to the process cost. As the main vehicle fuel cell proton exchange membrane fuel cells, although its overall thermal efficiency of up to 80%, but due to hydrogen generation, storage, storage, transportation and filling or re-engineering, are more complex, the security requirements are high, making Jianzhan costs, affecting the rapid distribution of hydrogen fuel stations, which restricted the promotion of fuel cell vehicles; Second, the proton exchange membrane fuel cells require platinum as a precious metal catalyst, while platinum costs stay high, some extent hindered the commercial application process. But with the rising level of industrial technology, the cost of restricting the fuel cell industry has been gradually alleviated the bottleneck. At present, Shanghai divine power to run its self-developed pressure fuel cell technology advantages and Suzhou King Long United launched hydrogen fuel cell buses imported cars cost only 1 / 5, greatly reduce the cost pressures, and promote China's fuel cell vehicle development.

More importantly, the commercialization of fuel cell market intervention model to promote the initial formation, will be mainly to buses and government vehicles as a starting point, through government procurement, to accelerate market-driven and application. Cut into the market using the bus, the main bus taking into account not only can greatly improve the efficient use of the car load, but also minimizes the cost of hydrogen refueling station distribution problems, as the rational use of government vehicles are mainly government support policies. Not long ago, the National Development and Reform Commission issued Notice No. 29 of 2008, the publication of the first batch of 164 cars by the examination and approval of the list, a change in the car before the new energy situation only hybrid cars, Shanghai Volkswagen's a fuel cell car among them, which gives the fuel cell industry has brought new light, no doubt, will be the industry pay more attention.
