• How can I check my battery life in Windows 8 in the modern user interface?

  I recently bought a RT of Surface. While I check the battery via the icon (no numbers) displayed in the modern user interface (by lock screen or the menu of charm), I can't seem to find the life of battery exact (in numbers) in the modern user interface. Any help?

  OK, you want the straight hours? Go to your desktop (not your departure). If you do not know the difference at the beginning is with tiles. Stand on the right side which is your battery icon. If it does not show an icon, follow other users have said. When you scroll over it, it will tell you how many hours and minutes you still have a percentage. Right now, mine is at 1 h 16 min with 26% battery. You can click if you want as well and it will tell you the same thing but with options on how you can save battery

• Mid-2015 MacBook Pro 15 has Horrible battery life

  I have a Macbook Pro 15 mid-2015 is the basic model, 2.2 Ghz and 256 with no graphics other than the Pro of the Iris.  I got it for about 3 months and I take off the power once a weekish and use it around the House.  Whole reason I decided to go Apple was because I wanted to the battery life that windows machines cannot offer with that kind of power.

  I must have got a spleen or something because my battery life is bad.  I lance 50% screen and backlight OFF and do nothing to keep open.  My Dock has nothing open except for the mail to notify me and my browser if I use it (98% of the time).  The battery life is maximum of 4-5 hours to do this constantly, the only time where I got was more a road trip where I turned the backlight and display off and using only iTunes to listen to music through my headphones via bluetooth, it provided for 20 + hours this day here.  Just get here for the last minutes went from 38 to 19 percent more than 31 minutes of battery time.  I know a decent amount about computers and I am a saver of energy mass unless I'm hip, low light, no backlight, no program didn't open that I do not use etc and yet I get a ridiculous autonomy.

  What should I do? Any suggestions? I read somewhere on the power off and then when you power back up hold down Option + command + R to put something else inside the machine.

  My battery life is normal for what I described?  It of not like I'm that fool who knows nothing about computers and leaves open pages, mail, messages, itunes, Skype and browser just because I can.  I leave nothing open (so no programs on the platform were the 'point' under them), erasing everything that isn't necessary VIA activity monitor, such things as creative cloud.  I'm just puzzled.  I must have got a dud.  Please help and advise me on what I should / test.

  Running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3, but it's not just because of El Capitan, this has been like that since Yosemite when I bought first.

  Thank you

  Your computer is still under warranty, so do the logical thing: make an appointment at the Apple Store - Genius Bar store and bring it into service. If you are in the United States or is unable to make an appointment in this way, contact your Apple store. Don't forget that you have free phone service for 90 days after purchase.

• HP ENVY x 360-m6-w103dx (ENER: battery life)

  I want to know what what is the normal battery time of the HP ENVY x 360-m6-w103dx (ENERGY STAR) at full capacity.

  Audio = running in background

  = Buffering a video on the internet

  = Download of origin, steam, IDM data at the same time

  = Play a game on the average result

  My laptop don't survive for 2 hours, when the above items are open. I just want to know is my laptop gives me good battery life? I think my battery is little damaged because when I bought it, I did not wait so that he can be fully charged. I disconnected the power cable and started using it.

  I do the test battery or something like that for the health of my battery!

  With everything what's happening 2 hours is probably not too bad. You did not damage the battery by the way you used it. Lithium-ion batteries do not require the kind of special treatment that many people still think needs batteries to laptop, from previous types of batteries not sold in the past 20 years. The x 360 has provoked much criticism as his real self, as HP announced very long service life, up to 12 hours. People become somewhere between 2 and 5 hours based on only a sample of people who are unfortunate enough to be able to post here. You have a battery of test utility built into the laptop, if you press F2, you put into the diagnostic screen. Run diagnostic and post back with the results.

  If you want to get optimal autonomy must primarily turn down the brightness of the screen, but also avoid opening multiple windows and anything intensive graphics. You do everything possible to shorten the duration of the battery.

• In window 8 poor battery life

  I've updated from windows 7 x 64 to windows 8 x 64 on my notebook HP Pavilion dv6-3057.  Since the upgrade, my battery life has been terrible.  I set everything in the power settings, but just battery does not last long.  I think that all the drivers are installed. I use a modified version of the Power Saver power plan, which has the lowest brightness, the max processor state, etc.  On windows 7, I used to get 3 + hours of battery life, now I get about 1.5 hours with windows 8. Any suggestions?

• Why battery life decreases significantly when I use Safari?

  I upgraded to El Capitan 10.11.5. on my Macbook air early 2014.  Just when you open Safari, it is listed as using the significant energy and the battery life decreases by several hours.

  I have no software extensions or third running.  I didn't have bugs or other problems since the installation of El Capitan, just this matter of battery life.

  If anyone has any recommendations on how to investigate this, I would be very grateful.  Thank you.

  Please, back up all data before proceeding.

  Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

  ~/Library/Safari

  A right click or Ctrl-click on the line and select

  Services ▹ Open

  the contextual menu.* should open a folder named "Safari". Quit Safari runs. One or more files in the open file must have a name begins as follows:

  History.DB - wal

  Move these files and only those who, in the trash, leaving the window open. Restart the application and test. If there is no change, stop again and place all other files with a name starting in 'History' of the Safari folder to the trash. The browser history will be empty. If possible, restore the file named "History.db" from an earlier backup problem.

  * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

  Go ▹ go to the folder...

  from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

• Battery life and noise protected R700-184

  Dear all

  I have purchsed a Toshiba protégé R700-184 a few months back.
  It seems that I made a terrible choice.

  The machine is so darn loud. More battery life is miserable
  From Toshiba Web site stated that the battery (max.) is approximately 9 hours, but it only lasts a few hours at most even when I do the most basic things like the navigation or by using MS Office.
  It takes almost 6 hours to change the battery.

  Kindly let me know if I need to change the settings of my phone or if there is no other solution for this problem.

  I'm really disappointed by Toshiba.

  Hello

  To me, it seems that you need to optimize the cooling module and battery performance in Windows 7 power management.

  Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
  This means that battery could unload faster because devices such as GPU, CPU, screen, HARD drive run with better performance

  In Windows 7 power management, you can optimize a single module if the laptop is running on battery.

  You can reduce the performance of the processor that would slow down the cooling modules and this battery work would extend and make fans for laptop quieter.

• Satellite A100-493 - short battery life

  Hei,
  I installed windows 7 on my Toshiba ' Satellite A100-493. After the installation of the battery life drops to 20 min. What can I do?

  And I read in the support that toshiba has a battery for this model Exchange program, it is now possible to change the battery?

  Welcome them
  Kalle

  Hey Buddy,

  Where did you read about this procedure to Exchange battery?

  In my opinion, the dough is near end of life because Satellite A100 is old laptop model and if you didn t exchange the battery yet it seems to be bad now.

  Usually, a battery can be recharged 500 - 1000 times and after that, need to replace the battery because it s a part not reusable.

• Satellite A210 - question about the battery life

  I have a problem: my laptop works only 1 hour of unplugged to electricity, so my battery died after working of 55minutes (I mean I look at the pictures or typing in WORD). Is this normal? How long is the average battery life?
  My model is SATELLITE A210/1AP (4000mAh) (my laptop is new; I bought it a week ago)
  Please write how much your maximum battery work.

  It is not easy to discuss this topic. With similar activity, I can use my Satellite A200, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. I don't know how you're using your laptop, but I recommend you to use all the power settings that can make the life of the battery a little longer.

  Check the method of cooling, power profile, reduce the brightness of the display and turn off WIFI if you do not use and so on.

  You must also understand that Vista needs far more resources than Windows XP Home edition and the life of the battery under Vista is not identical with Windows XP Home edition.

• Want to m6-w105dx: m6-w105dx battery life

  Hello

  I have a laptop Envy m6-w105dx and it is mostly used at home. For this reason, it is still connected to the power. As I am not able to remove the battery, I was wondering if being connected to the power supply of all time could damage the battery or decrease its average life expectancy.

  If I damage the battery, what would it be the solution for this problem?

  It is a common question. Connected to power all the time is not damage to the battery, but it may result in a little less than life. The battery has a microchip inside that account of the cycles and if you turn it off let it sit for a few days and then turn on the computer back will have to charge the battery upward, less than 95% and it will read as an undergraduate and the battery has stop working after a certain number of cycles to prevent it from being a danger to the power. Older lithium-ion batteries can become a danger if they have too many cycles of charge/discharge on them so batteries are actually pre-programmed to stop working until they're really chemically dead.

  The battery may not overload, however, for plugging it on food all the time isn't a bad thing regarding who's going. The cycles can occur only if you have the power and turn off and let off and have the power adapter to the coast for a few days or more. Even if you remove and store the battery it will lose the ability only to sitting in storage, so there is really no perfect answer to the laptop battery life.

  So basically, for most people, the battery is something 'use it and forget it ". Don't let him lead your life, just leave it in place and use the laptop as you want. The only thing that you should avoid is discharging the battery below 15-20%. They do not like a lot. There is no memory effect most so you can use it on battery, run it to say 70% then it load up. No problem with that.

  You have to assume that you will have a new battery at some point if you keep the laptop more than about 2 years.

  Post back with more questions.

• Portege R500-126 battery life

  I bought the Portege R500-126 @2 nine weeks ago and with SDS and no DVD/CD, I was expecting, as announced, to * 8 hours * autonomy

  To test, I fully charged the battery that was supplied with the machine, selected power plan 'Power Saver', out the charger cable and curled only 3 hours later, with no use of computer laptop whatoever, the battery is almost discharged

  On the Toshiba sales site, I noticed they sell one * Li - Ion 6 CELLS 5800 MAH * battery for £95 + VAT, is the same battery that comes with R500-126 and is anyone else having this problem?

  Hello

  I found this website product Toshiba Portégé R500-126:
  http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/productPage.do?PRODUCT_ID=145824

  But unfortunately, there is nothing on the duration of battery life.
  There is only this;
  Maximum life: currently no Windows Vista battery reference available official result

  Still is it that Vista needs more energy as another Vista OS (i.e. XP) eats the laptop and my knowledge resources, he needs two times more energy than XP.
  In addition the run time depends on hardware configuration. Stronger systems of waste more energy as devices with a lower yield.

  However, to you in question;
  AFAIK the R500 was equipped with the PA3612U-1BAS/BRS 6cell battery pack.

• Is satellite L500-14N - possible to see the battery life?

  Hello

  is it possible to show the life of the battery in percent and in hours and minutes in the taskbar? (Windows 7 64-bit)

  Energy saving does not support Windows 7, I think. Are there any other utility that can show battery info?

  Hello

  > not only in percentage battery life
  That s a feature! ;)

  The battery life on Vista and Windows 7 displayed in percent. If you want in hours and minutes too you must install an additional tool such as Notebook BatteryInfo. Use Google to find this program!
