Question by : How to take care of you laptop power cord and battery?
I bought a new computer about a year ago and every few months the power cord would stop working (it short-circuits or something.). I’ve gone through 3 power cords already. The third one stopped working last night. I was told that the laptop battery was probably involved. So I’m wondering, what are some things I can do to extend the life of my laptop power cord and battery and in general how am I suppose to take care of the power cord and battery?

Do you wind your powercords up when you store them? Generally not a good idea because it causes the wires inside the cord to become twisted and will eventually fray and break.
Don’t wind the cords. Just do a simple figure 8 loop and use the velcro strap to hold it together.
