All PowerUP main battery packs are sent out in a discharged state, this means you must «run them in» to achieve maximum performance and the best service life. To do this, simply insert the battery into your laptop and allow it to charge fully. Once you have done this, it is a good idea to fully discharge your battery (i.e. run your laptop using battery power until it switches off) then fully charge your battery once again.

It is possible that when you first put the new battery into your laptop it will show it is fully charged almost straight away, but it doesn't power the laptop for very long. This does not mean the battery is faulty, simply take out and reinsert the battery, fully charge it once again and this should solve the problem.

It may take some time for certain laptops to recognise new batteries and you may have to run a calibration program that you can access through the control panel on your laptop. If in any doubt please consult your users manual for your laptop.

Make sure that you fully discharge your battery from time to time, as this will prolong the useful service life of the battery. If you are not going to use the battery for some time (perhaps a month or more), remove it from your laptop in a fully charged state and store it in a cool dry place away from sources of heat and light.

You may notice that the power ratings of many PowerUP batteries are higher than the original manufacturers' batteries. This will not damage your laptop, in fact, it simply means that PowerUP batteries in many cases last longer than original manufacturer batteries. We are often asked by customers «How long will my battery last between charges?» Unfortunately this is almost impossible to answer as it varies greatly between models and depends on factors such as which programs are being run, which peripherals are attached and on the power management settings on the laptop.

All PowerUP products are guaranteed against defect for a period of 1 year from date of purchase
