Battery Charger / Adapter Quality Matters

Why certain Battery Chargers cost more and others less? Why should I buy a good quality battery charger? How do I choose the right battery charger / adapter for my electronics? Following a few rules will guarantee that you choose a battery charger that will meet your needs and provide top quality service for years to come.

Why quality of battery charger matters?

Good quality of battery chargers means to have precise voltage and amperage plus small ripples. Many battery chargers on the market are guilty of voltage and current rippling. Up to 85% of the 70 million new batteries sold each year will die before their 5+/-year design life is up. What makes LaptopTraveller unique over the other aftermarket chargers/adapters?

• Capacitor. LaptopTraveller's chargers/adapters have high quality, reliability-tested capacitor and are durability-Tested for operation. Low-cost chargers have short operating life and may explode.



• Circuit Design. The low cost chargers have only simplified circuits and components. LaptopTraveller's chargers/adapters have accurate electronic control for voltage and current. They are even designed with over-current and over-voltage protection. High reliability and stable operation makes the chargers have high power efficiency.



• Surge Protection are designed to withstand potential notebook impact damage. Cheap chargers/adapters which don't have surge protection are easy to damage notebook system.



• Plastic Case. Those aftermarket adapters are made of pure ABS or PC , non fireproof material. These are low-grade quality and predominately used in other factories. LaptopTraveller's chargers/adapters adopts fireproof grade PC/ABS material. The cases are stress tested and approved to withstand drops of 120cm.

Ordinary type battery chargers are infamous for 'frying batteries' or allowing them to self discharge to a point where they develop a condition known as 'sulphation'. In time, they build up, creating a barrier preventing proper charging & discharging. Charging time will significantly increase with diminishing results resulting in less cranking amperage and running time. Greater heat is also developed within the battery when it is allowed to sulfate, accelerating the breakdown of the active storage plate material.

Choosing the right Charger / Adapter

Buying a low cost charger with limited charging capabilities will shorten the life of the batteries rather than prolong them.

• Avoid battery chargers that do not have an "end of charge control" too much output current can ruin a battery in just a few hours.
• Never leave an unregulated or so called "automatic" charger connected to your battery overnight, unless it shuts off completely.
• Avoid the use of "trickle rate" chargers that do not have an automatic float mode or current control circuitry that is guaranteed not to overcharge your battery.
• Find your adapter/charger at LaptopTraveller.com is the best choice for you.
