“Taking care” is an “Act” a “Beginning” to “Feel Better”:

How to take care about our “Connected Object” and “Batteries”?

You might have notice today more and more “Connected Object” appears around us simplifying our life.

Connected Object contain most of the time Batteries type (LI-ION). Something we have to remind is taking care about our batteries, is sustainable, and positive act, without necessity to use Much Time and Energy maybe only organisation.

Guidelines regarding Li-Ion batteries:

• First of the most important guidelines regarding Battery Li ION is to Never Keep the Battery at 0%. More we keep it at 0% level more it reduce the Battery Life Long Capacity. It’s very important to be aware about it.
• The Second Guideline is we should “Theoretically” avoid to keep a battery plug in constantly. Li-Ion Battery constantly plug in will charge to 100% but then discharge to 99% and charge again to 100% which is not so much good for life long battery also.
  If you keep connected object stored somewhere, Try to keep the battery charge at least not less than 60% level approximately and recharge it some time to time permit to help to keep the battery more longer. Every two or three month it’s also good to discharge battery completely at 0% and straight away recharge it completely to 100%.
  However with evolution of Technology because its difficult to plug and unplug connected object constantly we might have tendency to forgot to re-plug spare battery ( It’s better to keep connected object plug in constantly).
  New Battery Charger generation will probably offer new option as it appear already in some OS: Linux OS are already giving possibility to charge battery to 100% then stop charging and recharge battery only when the battery get reduce to 60%.

The question is do we really need to have Big Internal Batteries in our Laptop constantly if we do not move our Laptop.

With Computer Evolution Laptop have replaced our Personal Computer, but, do we really need to have Battery inside ? Option might be come later on giving ability to use External Power Bank permitting for Lap Top to have only Small Internal Minute Battery for Security Reason.

Voltage and Ampere for Electronic Material:

“Electrical Power Capacity” corresponding to the (Ampere and Volt) written on the side of the connected object is important something also to be careful at.

The evolution of Electronic Material give us ability to us Material with different Capacity Level Material sometimes using 12V connection sometimes 5V Because of the electrical Connectic

You do not have possibility to Mix Up Connection 5V or 12V for Connected Object it will have different connectic.

However “Ampere Capacity” can depend about the Charger. A 5V charger can have 0.5A and an other 5V Charger will have 2A Power Capacity.

Voltage Mix Up is dangerous but Ampere Mix up is not dangerous. The material will adapt depending the Ampere Furnish

The best is to use Charger and Material with the Same Ampere and Volt Capacity than the Electronic Material. Even sometimes it is better depending the brand to use the same Charger furnish with your Electronic material so you are sure about the compatibility.

If you do not find a Charger related to your Material “Ampere“, choose a charger always more powerful regarding “Ampere” (Than your Material).

For example using a charger 5V / 2A with an Electronic Material of 5V / 1A.
Charger Ampere furnish > Material Ampere Needed. The Charger will adapte to the Material power need.

Unversed is not possible a Charger will never be able to furnish Ampere that is not able to be furnished. The power will not be able to be completely furnished. Theoretically it will take longuer time to fully charge the material.

The good News is all High Tech Connected Object and Electronic Material are plan to use the Same Connectic Norm (USB C) soon permitting to simplify this question and permiting more sustainability reducing waste avoiding to have 5 Differents charger. We will be able to keep the same charger and cable even after changing material.
