1950-battery level suddenly drops to 5%

Hello

I have a 1950-902 Satellite. I was wondering if someone could help with the behavior following problem / unusual that began a month ago:

I have started using the laptop with the battery appears as complete in power management. After that 10 minutes of battery used, as soon as the battery level shows as being about 85%, the indication of battery level suddenly falls to 5%, and the hibernation. When I reload the battery, the charging process takes very little time (about 30 minutes).

This behavior is repeated everytime I use the battery now.

What's not?

Thank you.

Hi Eleni,

It seems that some cells in your battery may have failed and consequently the battery can hold only a small portion of the normal load. I suggest that a new battery is needed.

Kind regards

  • Sudden drop in the speed of the CPU

    I have a 3 years old Dell Precision M6600 with Windows 7. In recent months I have suffered sudden drops in the speed of the CPU. I executes calculations, which do not have any IO or graphics, simple calculations on large amounts of data (say, 8 GB), who are all and always in RAM, no paging is never involved.

    I'm timing operations. Normally, an operation will take about 5 seconds. After a few hours, I noticed that the same operation on takes it even data 25 s check Task Manager shows whenever there is no other processes taking CPU, and this process takes 100% of CPU, occupying all of the 8 wires completely. I suspect overheating somewhere, so I bought a carpet of ventilation, and the computer is sitting on it during execution. Does not help. If I turn off the laptop for a few minutes, everything returns to normal - for a while.

    I'm not running on battery, still on the charger.

    Could you recommend a utility that can show a detailed diagnosis of the computer while it is running, including the temperature of components, etc.

  • Dv5 - 100%, but still in charge of battery level

    Hello!

    My laptop is a Dv5-1125em. It shows a 100% battery level if it is fully charged but always keep on the led "charging". Notification Windows 7 keeps saying 100% available (plugged in,load).

    I checked the battery with HP Support Assistant and the result was "Status: OK"

    I'm not under any resource high consuming applications and even tried to keep for some time see if the light goes out.

    When unplugged, block level decreases as usual and cool as usual after connecting. Problem is that it is always in charge even after level reaches 100%.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    Hi erico, thanks again for the reply.

    As an indicator of charging battery not turn off even when laptop is not activated, I also feel that the battery has failed. Guess that there cannot be a firmware or software problem.

    As battery rest at 98% constantly and laptop shuts off if suddenly, is it ok to work plugged in power until I could get a new battery.  As you can guess, the charger permanently try to charge the battery and shorten its life too?

    Any suggestions on this subject?

    Thank you very much..

    Yes. He is allowed to work with connected until you replace the battery.

    I suggest that using the laptop on battery in its State current would be a little risky for a workplace.

    If I was using the laptop, have suddenly turns off when I was in the middle of creating an outlet or word document mind.

  • "The reserve battery level" what do I do?

    This isn't a problem. but a question, search through forums and research that I have not been able to find the engines.

    in windows 7, what exactly happens when the "reserve battery level" is used?
    You can get to it if you go to the advanced power option and open the menu for the battery.

    does actually do anything for the reserve power when the battery is low, or is it just a warning for you say your about to run out of power?

    Yes, that's a warning to save the data to prepare a forced shutdown. Documents in production are in danger of disappearing. Many processors will be autobackup now and then for this reason.

  • Windows 7 turns off without warning when you reach the low battery level

    I was using a laptop HP which is upgraded from a family of OEM/RTM Windows Vista Edition Premium x 64 SP1 installation to a cleaning of the Version FULL of Windows 7 Home Premium x 64.  When I used it on battery it takes 25-27% left and it close it self of without any warning that the battery was low.  Then, when I connect it to the power cord and turned on I got the message of recovery Windows error that we will choose between the SafeMode / SafeMode with network/Safe Mode command prompt / start Windows normally and I chose to start Windows normally.  I went in the power and clicked Options on advanced settings for the power management that I use and when I extended battery it says:

    Critical battery action
    On battery: hibernation
    Plugged in: do nothing
    Low battery level
    On battery: 25%
    Plugged in: 10%
    Critical battery level
    On battery: 5%
    Plugged in: 5%
    Low battery notification
    On battery: 5%
    Plugged in: 5%
    Low battery action
    On battery: do nothing
    Plugged in: do nothing
    Reserve battery level
    On battery: 7%
    Plugged in: 7%

    Why have I not a warning when he got low battery level and why it automatically shut down and give me this error message.  How can I fix it.

    It could be that your battery is bad.  With my laptop, the battery lasts a few minutes, and if it passes underneath of ~ 20%, it stops instantly.  So, I just put the battery level critical to 25% and the hibernate on battery battery critical.  Windows 7 should be smart enough to tell you if this is the case (at the bottom left icon will have a red x through it, and if you hover over the battery icon it will say "consider replacing your battery."
