To ensure maximum possible run time of your Lenovo Ideapad Y460p 888010667 laptop battery, be sure to dim your display whenever possible and especially when you aren’t connected to an AC supply.

2) Never Charge Your Lenovo Ideapad Y460p 888010667 Laptop Battery Constantly :
A Lenovo Ideapad Y460p 888010667 laptop battery constantly kept at full charge will degrade at a faster rate, hence never keep your Lenovo Ideapad Y460p 888010667 laptop (and its battery) connected to mains constantly. If you connect your laptop to an AC supply most of the time, the Lenovo Ideapad Y460p 888010667 laptop battery’s capacity to hold charge will reduce quicker than normal.
Plug a Lenovo Ideapad Y460p 888010667 laptop’s battery for charging when the charge drains below 15% and try not to unplug the laptop’s battery while it’s in the middle of its charging cycle. Also remember that fully discharging a Lenovo Ideapad Y460p 888010667 laptop battery isn’t recommended as it stresses the Li-ion battery and can be harmful.
3) Don’t Remove Your Lenovo Ideapad Y460p 888010667 Laptop Battery When it’s plugged into a power source :
We’ve seen some people do this -- they charge their laptop battery to the max and unplug the battery while working on their laptop connected to AC mains. They do this to have a fully-charged Lenovo Ideapad Y460p 888010667 laptop battery whenever they have to move away from the power source and have to use their laptop on the go.
This practice can lead to your laptop shutting down involuntarily if there’s a power cut in your neighborhood. Only remove the Lenovo Ideapad Y460p 888010667 laptop battery from your laptop (when it’s connected to mains) if your laptop’s overheating (around 60 C and above) and don’t make it a habit of working on your laptop constantly connected to AC supply, allow your laptop Lenovo Ideapad Y460p 888010667 laptop battery to charge and discharge periodically.
4) Store a Lenovo Ideapad Y460p 888010667 laptop battery in a cool place :
If you don’t intend to use your laptop for more than two weeks or if you have an extra Lenovo Ideapad Y460p 888010667 laptop battery that won’t be used for a long time, make sure you get the Lenovo Ideapad Y460p 888010667 laptop battery level down to 50 percent charge before unplugging it from your laptop. And remember to store it in a cool place.
Because heat causes a Lenovo Ideapad Y460p 888010667 laptop battery to degrade at a faster rate, hence it’s always best to minimize the Lenovo Ideapad Y460p 888010667 laptop battery’s exposure to heat. Make sure you aren’t blocking the laptop’s heat vents when working on it from your lap. Also some laptops come with Intel’s Advanced Cooling Technology to improve airflow so that it can run cooler. Avoid storing your laptop in a car for long where it can easily overheat.
