1. Let us compare the screen size. With notebook screen size is measured by the inch is usually 14.1 to 15.4, you may have seen a good movie, joy, and not have to squint your eyes just to see a text. With screen sizes 12 inches and less, you might have a hard time typing documents to your netbook.

2. the processor. It is a very important part or consideration, because it handle the site's content. The faster the processor, the faster the page loads. If you usually surf around YouTube (which is heavy in javascript and flash), then know that reading this site takes longer than sites like Wikipedia or forums. With a slow processor, you suddenly hangs in the browser may, if you open too many tabs. The> Netbook CPU can handle even 1080p movie, and it is all the way to the end trigger.

3. the graphics card. If your primary concern playing games, you can skip the netbook as a whole are really very lame graphics. IBM ThinkPad A20 Battery, IBM ThinkPad A20M Battery, IBM ThinkPad A21M Battery, IBM ThinkPad R60 Battery Some claim that they to install World of Warcraft in its Netbook, but with lame graphics and small screen, how are you ever gonna love playing the game. On the other hand, have better graphics card and the notebook netbookin the low-end sector. You can handle World of Warcraft and other older games easily, without breaking a sweat, literally.

4. the weight. Here, the netbook will seem real. ) With the light weight (small screen, and they really are the definition of portability.IBM ThinkPad A21M Battery Your weight is almost half of the notebook weight a good thing, unless you go into bodybuilding. Together with its power supply, the maximum weight could only 1.5 kilograms.

In the end it comes outdown upon you. Which do you prefer most. If you want to play movies or games, notebook is the way to go. If you surf the web frequently and at short documents netbook of your choice. Be warned that netbook keyboard is really small and not suitable for long-term input.

Charging nickel-based batteries

IBM 02K6928 Battery, IBM 02K7054 Battery, IBM ThinkPad A20 Battery

The reliability and longevity of a battery hinges, to a large extent, on the quality of the charger. Battery chargers are often given low priority, especially for consumer products. In this paper we address the charger as the quintessential provider and guardian of the battery. IBM ThinkPad R32 Battery We look at various charge methods that will increase the performance of nickel-based batteries. Charging lithium and lead-based batteries are described on separate papers.

A battery should always remain cool during charging because high temperatures shorten battery life. Some temperature rise with nickel-based batteries cannot be avoided. The time during which the battery temperature remains elevated should be as short as possible. The temperature rise occurs in the second half of the charge cycle. The battery should cool to room temperature when on trickle charge.IBM 02K6928 Battery, IBM 02K7054 Battery, IBM ThinkPad A20 Battery, IBM ThinkPad A20M Battery, IBM ThinkPad A21M Battery, If the temperature remains above room temperature after a few hours in ready mode, the charger is performing incorrectly. In such as case, remove the battery when ready. The caution applies especially to nickel-metal-hydride because this chemistry cannot absorb overcharge well.

Nickel-based chargers are grouped into three categories:

Slow Charger - Also known as 'overnight charger', the slow charger applies a fixed charge of about 0.1C* (one-tenth of the rated capacity) for as long as the battery is connected. Charge time is 14-16 hours. Slow chargers are found in cord-less phones, portable CD players and other consumer goods.

Quick Charger - Also knows as rapid charger, this charger serves the middle range, both in terms of charging time and price. Charging time is 3-6 hours. The charger switches the battery to trickle charge when ready. Quick-chargers are used for cell phones, laptops and camcorders.

Fast Charger - Designed for nickel-based battery, the fast charger fills a pack in about one hour. IBM ThinkPad A20 Battery Fast charging is preferred because of reduced crystalline formation (memory). Accurate full-charge detection is important. When full, the charger switches to topping and then trickle charge. Fast chargers are used for industrial devices such as two-way radios, medical devices and power tools.

New nickel-based batteries should be trickle-charged for 24 hours prior to use. Trickle charge brings all cells to equal charge level because each cell self-discharges at a different rate. Trickle charge also redistributes the electrolyte to remedy dry spots on the separator brought on by gravitation of the electrolyte during long storage.

* The C-rate is a unit by which charge and discharge currents are scaled.IBM 02K6928 Battery, IBM 02K7054 Battery, IBM ThinkPad A20 Battery, IBM ThinkPad A20M Battery, IBM ThinkPad A21M Battery, A charge current of 1000mAh, or 1C, will charge a 1000mAh battery in slightly more than one hour. A 1C discharge lasts one hour.

Some battery manufacturers do not fully form the cells before shipment. Full performance is reached after the battery has been primed through several charge/discharge cycles, either with a battery analyzer or through normal use. In some cases, 50-100 discharge/charge cycles are needed to obtain full performance. Properly formed cells perform to specification after 5-7 cycles.

Most rechargeable cells are equipped with a safety vent to release excess pressure if over-charged. The safety vent on a nickel-based cell opens between 10-13 Bar (150-200 psi). (The pressure of a car tire is about 2.3 Bar or 35 psi.) With a resealable vent, no damage occurs after venting.IBM ThinkPad A20M Battery Some electrolyte is lost and the seal may leak afterwards. A white powder accumulating at the vent opening indicates venting activities.

Charging nickel-cadmium

The overall charge efficiency of nickel-cadmium is about 90% if fast charged at 1C. On a 0.1C overnight charge, the efficiency drops to 70% and the charge time is 14 hours or longer.

In the initial 70% of charge, the charge acceptance of a healthy nickel-cadmium battery is close to 100%. The battery remains cool because all energy is absorbed. Currents of several times the C-rating can be applied without heat buildup. Ultra-fast chargers use this phenomenon to charge a battery to the 70% level within minutes. Past 70%, the battery gradually loses the ability to accept charge. The pressure and temperature increase. Figure 1 illustrates the relationship of cell voltage, pressure and temperature while nickel-cadmium is being charged.

Figure 1: Charge characteristics of a nickel-cadmium cell.
The cell voltage, pressure and temperature characteristics are similar to nickel-metal-hydride.

Ultra-high capacity nickel-cadmium batteries tend to heat up more than the standard version on fast-charge. This is partly due to increased internal cell resistance. To moderate the temperature buildup and achieve short charge times,IBM 02K6928 Battery, IBM 02K7054 Battery, IBM ThinkPad A20 Battery, IBM ThinkPad A20M Battery, IBM ThinkPad A21M Battery, advanced chargers apply a high current at the beginning and then lower the amount to harmonize with the charge acceptance.

Interspersing discharge pulses between charge pulses improves the charge acceptance of nickel-based batteries.IBM ThinkPad A21M Battery Commonly referred to as burp or reverse load charging, this method promotes high surface area on the electrodes to improve the recombination of gases generated during charge. The results are better performance, reduced memory and longer service life.

Full-charge detection is based on a combination of voltage drop at full charge (negative delta V), rate-of-temperature-increase (dT/dt), absolute temperature and timeout timers. The charger utilizes whatever comes first to terminate the fast-charge.
