1、Prevent the Memory Effect – Keep the pa3534u-1bas battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion toshiba pa3534u-1bas batteries which do not suffer from the memory effect.
2、Keep the toshiba laptop Batteries Clean – It’s a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and the portable device.
3、Exercise the Battery – Do not leave the toshiba battery pa3534u-1bas dormant for long periods of time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. If a laptop battery has not been used for a long period of time, perform the new battery break in procedure described above.
4、Battery Storge- If you don’t plan on using the toshiba pa3534u-1bas battery (compatible with toshiba satellite a200 battery, toshiba equium a200 battery) for a month or more, store it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects. Ni-Cd, Ni-MH and Li-ion toshiba batteries will self-discharge during storage; remember to recharge the batteries before use.

1.If the toshiba equium a200 battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is recommended that it be removed from the device and stored in a cool, dry, clean place.
2.Short toshiba satellite a200 battery life in a laptop is mainly cause by heat rather than charge / discharge patterns. Always charge a toshiba laptop battery in a well-ventilated area.
3.When charging the battery for toshiba satellite a200 meter calibration, periodically do a full battery (PA3534U-1BAS Battery) discharge, every 30 charges, to increase meter accuracy.
4.Another enemy of laptop battery life is heat. The optimal ambient temperature during charge is 50°F (10°C) to 86°F (30°C). If the ambient temperature rises above 95°F (35°C) the charge efficiency may be significantly reduced, and therefore result in a lower charged battery capacity.
5.Dim your screen – Most laptops come with the ability to dim your laptop screen. Some even come with ways to modify CPU and cooling performance,this will also save on toshiba satellite a200 battery drain.
