ASUS Eee PC 1005HA Netbook Reviews

Netbooks are great little computers to carry around for quick reference.  They are small enough to fit in handbags and backpacks for ultra portability, and powerful enough for blogging, browsing the internet, and taking notes.  The ASUS models are a good choice for netbook users, as they are durable, feature over ten hours of battery life, and have an attraction seashell design.  This is my ASUS Eee PC 1005HA Netbook review.  

These netbooks often have an affordable price, priced at under $400.  They feature lots of perks along with a smaller style.  I love to take mine to the bookstore when I grab a cup of coffee.  It's the perfect tiny computer for writing down my thoughts, and catching up on my MySpace buddies on the go.  The longer battery life means that I can browse all afternoon without having to worry about finding a place to charge my netbook.  

The ASUS Eee PC 1005HA Seashell comes loaded with Windows XP, and this operating system is super user friendly, and fairly fast too.  I don't have to wait forever for my applications to load, and the screen display with it's LED display panel lights up perfectly so that I can see my desktop even when sitting by the window in natural light.  

The keyboard is a good size at approximately 92% of a full keyboard, so that it makes typing a breeze.  Typing up emails, documents, and information is easily done without skipping keys.  

There are adequate ports on this netbook too with three USB 2.0 ports, ethernet port, a 4-in-1 media card reader, headphone and microphone jacks.  The headphone jack is particularly great for listening to tunes while taking a long road trip in the passenger seat.

One very interesting feature that I was not expecting with the ASUS Eee PC 1005HA was the Eee Docking software that makes it easy to find all of your utilities, digital content, and software. It's really convenient.  It has Eee Vibe for music and media applications, Sharing for storage, messenger, and data synchronization, Xperience for voice command, and tools for general settings.  This convenient little application is docked at the top of the screen, and can be put away when you are not using it.  

ASUS has done a great job of creating an affordable netbook with high quality features and performance.  It has excellent battery life, great graphics, adequate ports, and comes loaded with a lot of tools and software.  The attractive and compact design makes it the perfect computer for people on the go.

How can you care Asus eee pc 1000 laptop battery to get the maximum life out of it?

It is a question we frequently asked. It's a valid question since laptop batteries are usually expensive to replace.

First of all, how long should your battery last? 2-4 years is generally acceptable depending on how frequently you use and charge the battery. If you travel a lot and use and charge your battery frequently then you might only get a couple of years at the most out of your laptop battery.

The Asus eee pc 1000 laptop battery are usually made with Li-Ion laptop battery and the very nature of Li-Ion batteries is that they have about 500-600 charges and last at most about 4-5 years (shelf life). They also have a self-discharge rate of about 1% per day so you need to be sure to charge them at least every 6 months.

What should you do to keep your laptop battery healthy?

Laptops are portable and it's easy to set your laptop on your Asus eee pc 1000 laptop battery or on your bed or use it at your lesiure. That's one of the benefits of having a portable computer. Flexibility. But if you want to extend your battery's life you have to watch out for overheating your laptop.Heat is one of the biggest obstacles to battery's life longevity. Your laptop computer fan cannot circulate the air properly when your laptop is sitting on soft surface.

While your laptop is undoubtedly using a smart charger to charge even a constant trickle charge over months can reduce your battery's life. For best results, only charge your Asus eee pc 1000 laptop battery when you need to charge it, don't leave the laptop battery plugged in all the time.More importantly than the trickle charger affect is the 'storage' of a Li-Ion battery at elevated temperatures. The optimum storage temperature for a Li-Ion battery is at 0 deg. C. The optimum storage charge level is about 40%. Unfortunately we tend to store fully charged and at the temperatures found in a running laptop you'll find a significant reduction in battery for your laptop performance after only 12-18 months.

Li-Ion and NiMH battery (which most Asus laptop battery are), do not have a memory which you might find in NiCad batteries. However, each chemistry has a limited number of charge cycles, so use a full charge cycle before re-charging to maximize your Asus eee pc 1000 laptop battery usage. Because this may be very difficult to manage, you'll need to consider the cost-benefit ratio for keeping track of how far discharged the battery is before you charge it again.

This goes back to the heat issue. Don't leave your Asus eee pc 1000 battery in the car where it can get very hot.Batteries hate heat and your battery will go on strike permenantly if you expose it to too much heat.Remember that all laptops are not created equal. You may have gotten 4 hours from your last laptop while on laptop battery , but your new laptop might pull more juice to run that gaming quality processor, or the power hogging programs you're running now. Read your owner's manual to find out what you should expect from your laptop battery and be sure to compare apples to apples when purchasing a replacement Asus eee pc 1000 battery. Not all laptop batteries are made to the same specs. We recommend buying a battery that has at least as much capacity as your original battery (that's the mAh rating), and preferrably the same chemistry as well.If you simply aren't sure what to get, check with a professional. Our customer service staff are trained to know how to compare Asus eee pc 1000 laptop batteries and they are happy to help you find the right fit for your laptop.

Replacement Laptop Battery For ASUS Eee PC 2G Surf

Specifications Part No: Eee PC 2G Surf Product ID: NAA034 Battery Type: Li-ion Volt: 7.4 V Capacity: 4400mAh Weight: 317.52g Dimension: 138.88 x 44.26 x 34.88mm Color: White Org. Price: AU $ 86.07 Promotion Price: AU $60.19 (inc. GST) ASUS Laptop Battery Articles & Tips

A new ASUS laptop battery comes in a discharged condition and must be charged before use (refer to the devices manual for charging instructions). Upon initial use (or after a prolonged storage period) the digital camcorder ASUS Eee PC 2G Surf may require three to four charge/discharge cycles before achieving maximum capacity. New ASUS Eee PC 2G Surf needs to be fully charged and discharged (cycled) a few times before it can condition to full capacity. Rechargeable batteries undergo self-discharging when left unused. Always store a Laptop Battery pack in a fully charged staged for storage.When charging the ASUS Eee PC 2G Surf for the first time the device may indicate that charging is complete after just 10 or 15 minutes. This is a normal phenomenon with rechargeable batteries. Remove the camcorder batteries from the device, reinsert it and repeat the charging procedure

It is important to condition (fully discharge and then fully charge) the ASUS Eee PC 2G Surf every two to three weeks. Failure to do so may significantly shorten the battery's life (this does not apply to Li-ion batteries, which do not require conditioning). To discharge, simply run the device under the battery's power until it shuts down or until you get a low battery warning. Then recharge the battery as instructed in the user's manual. If the battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is recommended that ASUS Eee PC 2G Surf be removed from the device and stored in a cool, dry, clean place.

Invest in a good charger for your camcorder. Ni-MH batteries should not be charged in a NiCad charger, unless the charger is specifically made for both chemistries. There are cheap chargers and there are expensive chargers. Make sure the charger you get has good reviews and is well made. Chargers with micro-controller chips are usually the best choice of your digital camcorder.

Be sure to store your Laptop Battery properly. Do not leave your batteries in a hot car, or in humid conditions. The best storage conditions are a cool, dry place. The refrigerator is fine if you stick in a packet of silica gel with your ASUS Eee PC 2G Surf in a sealed bag to keep them dry. It is a good idea to charge your NiCad or Ni-MH batteries fully before use if they have been in storage.

Upgrade my ASUS Laptop Battery From Ni-MH to Li-ion

NiCad, Ni-MH and Li-ion ASUS Laptop Battery is all fundamentally different from one another and cannot be substituted unless the Laptop has been pre-configured from the manufacturer to accept more than one type of battery chemistry. Please refer to your manual to find out which rechargeable battery types the laptop device supports or use our ASUS Battery Finder above to find all the compatible Laptop Battery for your device. It will automatically list all of the battery chemistries supported by your specific device. If your device does allow you to upgrade the battery from Ni-MH to Li-ion, you will typically get longer run time.

For example, if your Laptop uses a NI-MH battery that is 9.6 Volts, 4000mAh and the new Li-ion Laptop Battery is 14.4 Volt, 3600mAh, then you will obtain longer run time with the Li-ion battery.

Example:

Li-ion: 14.4 Volts x 3.6 Amperes = 51.84 Watt Hours
Ni-MH: 9.6 Volts x 4 Amperes = 38.4 Watt Hours
The Li-ion is stronger and has longer run time.

How Can I Maximize the performance of My ASUS Laptop Battery?

There are several steps you can take to help you get maximum performance from your Laptop Battery:

Prevent the Memory Effect - Keep the Laptop 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 batteries which do not suffer from the memory effect.

Keep the ASUS Laptop Battery 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.

Exercise the Battery - Do not leave the battery dormant for long periods of time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. If an Laptop Battery has not been used for a long period of time, perform the new battery break in procedure described above.

Battery Storage - If you don't plan on using the Laptop Battery for a month or more, store it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects. NiCad, Ni-MH and Li-ion batteries will self-discharge during storage; remember to recharge the batteries before use.

What is The Run Time of Battery-Company.com.au's Laptop Battery?

ASUS Laptop Battery have two main ratings on them: Volts and Amperes. Because size and weight of Laptop Battery is limited when compared to larger batteries such as car batteries, most companies show their ratings with Volts and Mill amperes. One thousand Mill amperes equals 1 Ampere. When buying a battery, select batteries with the most Mill amperes (or mAh). Batteries are also rated by Watt-Hours, perhaps the simplest rating of all. This is found by multiplying the Volts and the Amperes together. For example:

14.4 Volts, 4000mAh (Note: 4000mAh is equal to 4.0 Amperes).

14.4 x 4.0 = 57.60 Watt-Hours

Watt-Hours signify the energy needed to power one watt for one hour. This ASUS Laptop Battery can power 57.60 watts for one hour. If your laptop runs at 20.50 watts, as an example, this laptop battery could power your laptop for 2.8 hours.
