What is a Smart Laptop Battery?

Smart batteries have internal circuit boards with smart chips which

allow them to communicate with the notebook and monitor battery

performance, output voltage and temperature.

Smart batteries will generally run 15% longer due to their increased

efficiency and also give the computer much more accurate “fuel gauge”

capabilities to determine how much battery running time is left before

the next recharge is required.
