Tip of the Day: Laptop Battery Cycles

·

Armando J. Perez-Carreno

Laptop batteries have a life expectancy based on a limited number of cycles. New MacBooks for example, have a lifetime of 1,000 cycles while older models had 300 cycle batteries. Cycles are calculated by using a battery’s power completely. This can happen either on a single charge or spread across many subsequent charges. If you…

Designing for screenprinting is a nuanced art that requires a delicate balance between creativity and technical precision. To ensure your designs come to life vibrantly and accurately on fabric, it’s crucial to consider several key factors throughout the design process.

First and foremost, vector graphics serve as the foundation for successful screenprinted designs. Vector-based graphics, created using programs like Adobe Illustrator, retain their crispness and clarity regardless of size. This is essential for screenprinting, as it guarantees sharp, clean lines that will reproduce faithfully onto fabric.

Laptop Battery Cycles

Laptop batteries have a life expectancy based on a limited number of cycles. New MacBooks for example, have a lifetime of 1,000 cycles while older models had 300 cycle batteries.

Cycles are calculated by using a battery’s power completely. This can happen either on a single charge or spread across many subsequent charges. If you use 20% of your battery, charge it, and then use 80%, this will result in a single cycle.

When a battery reaches it’s cycle count limit, it will still work but it will discharge faster than before.

It is good practice to let them discharge completely once a week but not necessary on every single charge as this will use up the cycle count faster.
