How to service laptop batteries
Most laptops batteries are 'smart', meaning that some form of communications occurs between the battery and user. The definition of 'smart' varies among manufacturers and regulatory authorities. Some manufacturers call their batteries 'smart' by simply adding a chip that sets the charger to the correct charge algorithm. The Smart Battery System (SBS) forum states that a 'smart' battery must provide state-of-charge (SoC) indications. There are two common architectures of 'smart' batteries, consisting of the single wire system found on high-end cameras and radio communications devices, and the two-wire system typically used on laptops. The two-wire system is usually configured to the System Management Bus (SMBus). Because of its common use in laptops, we will focus on the SMBus system. Figure 1 shows the layout.
