Summer is here and with it the high temperatures. Your PC can kind of stay cool when we get to play in certain parts of the country 50º C, but your laptop… Poor him, especially if it’s a high-performance old or even new one. Which parts will suffer more? The usual ones, but you also have to have an extremely important one: the battery. Therefore, we bring you simple indications to protect the drums from your laptop of this summer so hot
Why do we give so much importance to the battery at the moment? Mainly because it is the key component for everything to work as it should and it is also the element that most degrades any laptop, even above the fans. So we have to pamper him.
How to protect a laptop battery in summer
As we always say, there are no miracles here, we should go to Lourdes and pray for luck. But since we don’t have anything from a monastery, let’s go with some easy tricks that can save you some trouble. The first is very obvious: no earth, sand, towels or the like in contact with the base of the laptop.
We are very fond of taking our laptop to the plate or to the field for various tasks, or of being in a hammock with it on our legs. Well, this is one of the main death problems of it at this time of year.
The reasons are very clear: momentary or perennial obstruction of the ventilation system, either side, rear or bottom, or all at the same time. It is necessary to avoid as much as possible that the areas through which the air is introduced and extracted are clogged or close to small particles.
The solution could be a base with fans that also help us with its posture and inclination, improving all aspects for very little money. That said, the second factor is also decisive and above all terribly harmful.
The sun is the main enemy of any component, especially laptops
If dust is a major long-term problem on both PCs and laptops, the sun is, but with an almost immediate effect. leave a laptop in the sun It’s a death almost foretold. Although these have certain protection systems, suffocating heat will not prevent the battery from swelling or exploding in the worst case, while in the best it will degrade much more quickly.
If the laptop were turned on when it was in the sun, then we had a double problem, since the temperature that the battery takes due to its exposure to the closest star to our planet must be added CPU and GPU temperature. Therefore, a laptop has to be in the shade, like any PC.
Finally, beware of the risk of short circuit due to excess humidity in the environment. The most modern laptops have systems that try to avoid electrical shorts, but in environments with a relative humidity above 80% this is really complicated. (Alprazolam)
