How Not To Shape A Laptop Battery

Posted At : 10:36 AM
Related Categories: Stuff :

My laptop bag has scared TSA security personnel at several airports recently, requiring manual bag inspections each time. And when it happened again this week I finally figured out what it is that was freaking them out when the bag went through the x-ray machine - it's the spare laptop battery I always carry. This would never be an issue if the battery were inside the laptop, but the spare battery (depending on how it is laying in the back) can catch attention. But, TSA issues aside, look at the shape of the battery. You just have to wonder - what on earth was IBM thinking?

How to annoy the TSA without even trying...
It just goes to show you how the mindset has changed over the last few years. A laptop battery that looks like a gun on x-ray. How many years have (multiple brands of) laptops been using batteries like this? I know I have run across them many times. Now someone just needs to create a mouse that looks like a grenade or something.

the computer can be bought back when the battery life more than two hours. In view of lithium batteries is basically no memory effect, and the battery with an intelligent charging system, it is not right batteries for special maintenance, but during the initial full charge and discharge times to activate the battery, usually mostly use the AC adapter power supply, battery electricity supply will not be long.
