Upgrade my KYOCERA Battery Charger from Ni-MH to Li-ion
Ni-Cd, Ni-MH and Li-Ion
KYOCERA Battery Charger are all fundamentally different from one another and cannot be substituted unless the Charger has been pre-configured from the manufacturer to accept more than one type of battery chemistry. Please refer to your manual to find out which rechargeable battery types the laptop device supports or use our Compaq Battery Finder above to find all the compatible Battery Charger for your device. It will automatically list all of the battery chemistries supported by your specific device. If your device does allow you to upgrade the battery from Ni-MH to Li-ion, you will typically get longer run times.
For example, if your Charger uses a Ni-MH battery that is 9.6 Volts, 4000mAh and the new Li-ion Battery Charger is 14.4 Volt, 3600mAh, then you will obtain longer run time with the Li-ion battery.
Example.
Li-ion: 14.4 Volts x 3.6 Amperes = 51.84 Watt Hours
Ni-MH: 9.6 Volts x 4 Amperes = 38.4 Watt Hours
The Li-ion is stronger and has longer run time.
How can I maximize the performance of my KYOCERA Battery Charger?
There are several steps you can take to help you get maximum performance from your Battery Charger:
Prevent the Memory Effect - Keep the Battery Charger healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries which do not suffer from the memory effect.
Keep the Compaq laptop Batteries Clean - It's a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and the portable device.
Exercise the Battery - Do not leave the battery dormant for long periods of time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. If a Battery Charger has not been used for a long period of time, perform the new battery break in procedure described above.
Battery Storage - If you don't plan on using the Battery Charger for a month or more, store it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects. Ni-Cd, Ni-MH and Li-ion batteries will self-discharge during storage; remember to recharge the batteries before use.
What is the run time of TopPower's Battery Charger?
KYOCERA Battery Charger have two main ratings on them: Volts and Amperes. Because size and weight of Battery Charger is limited when compared to larger batteries such as car batteries, most companies show their ratings with Volts and Milliamperes. One thousand Milliamperes equals 1 Ampere. When buying a battery, select batteries with the most Milliamperes (or mAh). Batteries are also rated by Watt-Hours, perhaps the simplest rating of all. This is found by multiplying the Volts and the Amperes together. For example:
14.4 Volts, 4000mAh (Note: 4000mAh is equal to 4.0 Amperes).
14.4 x 4.0 = 57.60 Watt-Hours
Watt-Hours signifies the energy needed to power one watt for one hour. This KYOCERA Battery Charger can power 57.60 watts for one hour. If your Charger runs at 20.50 watts, as an example, this Battery Charger could power your Charger for 2.8 hours.
