Have you ever thought how the laptop battery is different from other device batteries? Ever was you eager to know how a laptop battery works and how other device batteries work? The batteries that power portable CD players, radios, camcorders etc. do have little difference from the laptop battery. But you can cal a laptop battery a bit intelligent. Yups, I am kidding. But it has certain features that make it called so. The laptop batteries arrive in different sizes ad shapes just like the rest of the batteries. But the difference is the t the lap top batteries have a complex electronic circuit that works in conjunction with the laptop hardware. This electronic circuit manages the power that flows into the battery while recharging and the power that flows out of each cell of the battery while discharging. It is a unique feature that lap top batteries possess; while the rest of the batteries don’t have it.
You can find cells inside a laptop battery, just like the any other battery. Each cell is typically 1.5 volts and a number of cells are arranged in series and connected in parallel delivering optimum power to the laptop or device. A number of cells are connected together in parallel letting all the negative terminals to each other and positive terminals likewise. This will automatically increases the power delivering capacity of the battery, the voltage remains unchanged. A series of these batteries are joined in series to optimize the voltage level of the battery.
The internal electronic regulator which forms a unique property of a laptop battery regulates the flow of charge into and out of each internal cell in the battery. This ensures that each cell has an equal charge at all time ensuring the long life of each cell. Over charging of the cell is also regulated in this way.
Each laptop model is designed in a particular way ensuring easy and effective power regulation by the battery. The design of the laptop battery also depends upon the weight and size of the laptop. But effective battery is ensured by most of the laptop companies to assure effective performance.

Dell does it again! Dell launches its latest venture, barely after introducing its new Studio laptops; by launching an ultra-mobile, 9-in laptop. The Mini 9 weighs just over 1 kilo and is powered by Intel’s new Atom processor. In the words of the company’s publicity, Dell’s Inspiron Mini 9 is designed to connect “teens, tweens, travellers and social networkers” to the online world. It comes with built in WiFi capabilities and also has a 1.3 megapixel webcam and video chat software. The Dell Inspiron Mini 9 loads Windows in about 30 seconds and fires up Microsoft Works in 8 seconds. Also, it can copy more than an album’s worth of music (77MB) in about 7 seconds. The Mini 9 is on a par with its peers: It has three USB ports, a 4-in-1 media card reader (SD, MS, MS Pro, MMC), VGA-out, an Ethernet port. We give you five reasons as to why you should immediately buy Dell Inspiron Mini 9.
Size matters
Dell’s Inspiron Mini 9 manages to fit into an even slinkier little black dress. It’s 9mm slimmer in diameter.
Keyboard king
Dell’s done away with function keys, leaving everything you need for work and play on the go, without any extra bulk. Its keyboard’s minimalistic features are its best.
Dapper design
The gadget looks slick and smooth.
Ubuntu inside
Mini 9 poses a dose of Windows XP and Linux but its Ubuntu that captures the eye here. It’s fast, accessible, secure has easily changeable options and not to mention being much quicker than Vista.
Price points
Not only is the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 little on size, it’s equally meagre on cost. You could scoot off with Dell for £269 for a Linux version or £299 for an XP equipped Dell Mini 9.
Dell has once again shown that it’s the leader in the manufacturing of laptops, from its Latitude, to Inspiron to Studio series, it has now moved to Inspiron Mini 9 series. Sleek, affordable and very compatible to the needs of the youth! The combination of the Atom processor and 1GB of memory gives you enough power to do all your general and complex tasks. The Mini 9 also has the capacity to run a video conferencing. It also has a battery life of 3hours. The Dell Inspiron Mini 9 falls short because it doesn’t offer an extended battery and large-enough storage options.
