  Since the update to IOS 10 my battery percentage meter slept on 100% at all times. the only time where is the change is if im using the phone to play a game or something and it all of a sudden everything stops as his death. I plug it into a charger and it turns almost immediately and said my battery life is a kind of p 100, 40, 73, etc... I did a restore and it seems it will continue with the same question.  I followed all the steps to save the life of the battery and the problem still happens.  Help, please

  Try to download the app from the battery life which is available for free on the App Store. Check the battery with it and if defective, schedule an appointment in an Apple store for eventual replacement.

  If your device does not load, try the procedure described in this article from Apple:

• MBA mid 2013 battery life

  Hello

  I use a lot for the lat three years my MBA 13', now the number of cycles is about 560 and battery life is at 85% of the nominal capacity. Fine with that. Battery life, however, is bad enough. I think I can get half of what I used when first got (12 hours with WiFi, 16-18 without connection). Can it be considered normal due to wear of the battery? Maybe I should change? This is a common problem and it is because of the different OS (I'm on El Capitan, always up to date)?

  Thank you.

  Batteries do not last forever.  From what you posted, it is within the limits of what could be expected.

  According to the specifications of Apple, when the level of maximum load is 80% less than the charge level of the original design, the battery then is "exhausted" and must be replaced.  Not quite there yet.

  If your situation requires a long battery operating time, replace, otherwise continue as you are.

  Ciao.

• Tecra Z40 - A - 16 c - indicator battery life problem

  Hello

  As from 2015, I own a Toshiba Tecra Z40 - A - 16 c.

  I noticed a strange behavior regarding the battery life indicator. When the laptop is fully charged, the indicator shows 100% remaining. And when I use the laptop, the percentage drops slowly, as expected.
  However, as soon as somewhere around 50%, the indicator is suddenly decreases and says he has only 5 or 4% left and I should switch it on immediately.

  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Kind regards
  Oliver

  The battery may need calibration. Load and unload completely several times.

  If it happens again, the battery needs replacing. You can check the level of wear using HWMonitor from cpuid.com.

• Tecra M2, battery life

  Got this lappy a week ago (dothan 1.6, video 512/60/64)
  All right, but I am concerned about the life of the battery of the standard package.

  Once fully charged, it shows a little less then 3 hours of work.

  Then time falls rather quickly. 90% ago 02:24
  Manufacturer and several critics claim that the battery life should be at least 4 hours.

  I reinstalled Toshiba Power Management. Then XP asked to reinstall common Modules.
  However, it did not help much.

  Can I have a broken battery or this longevity is good for this machine?

  My old laptop had a utility of calibration of the configuration of the BIOS battery.
  Is there somewhat similar? It seems that the system reads value battery incorrectly.

  To Check first, Toshiba site and Microsoft for any update of the operating system or drivers that can help.

  About the battery life, I know on older batteries, they worked as how you mentioned.

  They lists only a change of time remaining at certain times of the battery.

  For example, it can declare 100% for 30 minutes, but then drop to 50% all of a sudden.

  But this has happened on NiCad batteries because they lacked a "smart" sensor in the battery to detect small changes.

  The battery you have is a Li-ion, so this problem should not exist.

  Depending on what you were doing at the time and what power management settings you put in, this will also play a role in how fast your battery drains.

  Have the wireless on when you don't have not wireless configuration will drain more quickly the battery.

  Playing a CD / DVD, watching movies & games all drip the battery more quickly.

  Power management settings, if the value of 'Always On', it will cause the CPU to run at full speed, even on battery.

  This is a BIG drain on the battery, while leaving the brightness of the LCD on MAX.

  Check your settings, make sure that it has defined for the laptop and try to get down your glow.

  If these suggestions do not help, it is possible that you have a defective battery, if so you may want to get it replaced.

  Good luck!

• Satellite T230 - 11 p - only 4 or 5 hours battery life

  I recently bought by Satellite T230 - 11 p. Once I took it out of the package I plugged the AC adapter and used for a while and kept until it is fully charged. But the battery life last for 4 or 5 hours. In the manual, he wrote the life of the battery last for 8 hours.

  Please help me with this problem. Should I replace the battery by a new, or - is this normal?

  Hi Krishj,

  In my battery of 4-5 hours notice, life is beautiful and everything is ok with your computer laptop because it s always according to your use. If you run a large number of programs and using the brightness of the display, the laptop needs more energy. Which is a perfectly normal behavior.

  Usually 8 hours autonomy you will have with the brightness of the display only low and high level of energy saving.

• Tecra A3 battery life

  Product specifications for tecra a3 in this website indicates 3.46 hours-mobile brand. I get less than that, although enough to watch a movie. Can I know what this sheet is based-maybe a battery high capacity and the battery supplied with the camera?

  Hello

  the battery life depends on how much power setting you use in battery mode. 3.46 hours can be achieved only at the lowest setting. Another thing is that not all batteries of the same type same time (normally only slight differences). And after a while in use, the battery life will decrease until eventually it stops working (in some years).

  But maybe your battery is not working properly just and must be replaced.

  Good bye

• Battery life has decreased

  I have a Macbook Pro Retina Display, which has been bought only mid-2014. The life of the battery to 100% used, i.e. about 10 hours if not more in the last two days, it dropped up to 7 hours or less.

  Before that, I would take my computer to school with 100% and return at least 50% to go and now I can barely make it through the school day! Only, I use Word, Safari, and most of the time Powerpoint and make sure that all my other apps are off to save battery and yet he still eats battery like crazy. It will say there are still 6 remaining hours and 40 minutes, it will go up to 4.5 hours! I have no games or large application running so I don't see why my battery life has decreased in this measure. The fault might be my charger? I always use my laptop came with that but there cuts everywhere and a few pieces of the wire is exposed.

  Please let me know what I can do to restore my batter life.

  You need to replace your charger, but it probably has nothing to do with your battery life - the 'intelligence' isn't in the battery charger. There are two basic reasons for the battery life decrease: 1) using more electricity or 2) your battery cannot hold as much power as it did when it was new.

  Discover #1 open the activity monitor and click the CPU tab. In the columns, he scored a % CPU which shows the percentage of cycles CPU used by a process. Click on the label and the list of processes are sorted to use above the lowest. Over the next few days keep an eye on her to monitor all the processes that seem to have and maintain a high percentage. My computer will be a process of spike up to 50-60% but down then down quickly. The only time where I see a sustained high CPU usage is when I do something like a large file for archiving or extraction of a CD.

  To check the #2, click the Apple menu and select about this Mac. Then click on the button tray . In the left pane, look for power. You will find information on your battery, including the number of cycles and the health of the battery. Under normal conditions of use of 18 to 24 months old computer should get close enough to use even on a charge like new - I expect maybe a loss of 30 to 40 minutes. But if you have a large number of cycles on the computer - say an average of 5 cycles per week for as long as you have owned the computer, the battery may be almost on time when it needs to be replaced. Battery life depends on several factors which can vary greatly from one person to the next.

• Toshiba Satellite C50t - A - battery life is very short

  Hi all

  I have problem my C50t-A battery life is very short (less than two hours) and use usually laptop for reading, then how to check actual life of the battery and if there is problem in my battery. The application of integrity monitor shows me the battery is good, but this makes it not correct because I need to charge my phone every two hours or maybe less and this very denoising since sometimes not easy to load in any place. Are there program or ask to check my laptop battery?

  Download a program called cpuid.com HWMonitor to display the level of the battery.

  Lithium batteries only last about 3-4 years before you have to replace. They lose about 30% - 20% capacity every year.

• Equium L20-264: Question on the actual battery life

  Hi Forum: I know that I need PA3420U-1BRS battery as a replacement for my laptop. Can someone tell me what the real battery life is that I can't find any information on this.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It is not easy to say, and that it is not generally answer on this question.
  The life expectancy of the batteries depends on the use of portable computers. The use of programs and applications heavy and high performance decreases battery life.

  However, you can charge the battery about 500 times. After this period, the battery performance decreases.

• Equium L10-142 battery life

  I had the above for a few months now and have understood the battery does not last very long at all.
  I used to charge for a long time when I arrived at the comp, and I unloaded first uses. I also periodically run the battery and fully charged. It seems only to display the battery in about 2 hours to full charge, but in reality lasts just more than half of this time.
  is this his agreement for the model?
  is there something I can do to increase the battery life?

  I don't use the mobile model very often but can do in the future if you need a solution to this problem.

  any help would be appreciated

  Hello

  your battery life is certainly too short. If this was done from the beginning, I think that you have a defective battery and needs to be replaced.

  A note: remove the battery, if you work on the current and it didn't need to be charged. This ensures that the battery no longer works.

  Good bye

• Experiences over seven years with the battery life in laptop computers Tecra

  Seven years ago, I bought a Tecra 780DVD, five years ago a Tecra 8100 and two years ago a Tecra S1. They re all still in regular use and I ve used now six packs of lithium ion batteries. My experience suggests that these four guidelines are worth observing:

  1. it is preferable to the hibernation and remove the battery if the laptop will be inactive for more than 2 or 3 days.
  2 operating time vary a lot between the samples of battery even with the same operating conditions.
  3 leave the charger plugged in with the full light on doesn't seem to hurt (despite some of the recommendations).
  4. better is not the first time, that it is unable to charge the battery of junk. The trick described below may reset the battery and get more useful life out of it.

  Tecras see the end of battery life by battery light flashes orange or stay off when you try to reload. Last week when I returned from vacation what happened the 780 (now the WiFi print server) and I felt like déjà vu because all 4 batteries (three on the 780) and the other on the 8100 that I ve had previously fail expired the same way they failed to charge after 7 to 14 days of hibernation with the battery left in. In my view, that it can hardly be a coincidence.

  I still had another 780 old farm and an old battery for 8100 that both failed about two years ago I did some tests. The batteries two 780 showed 10-11 volts on a voltmeter, but when I put them in the laptop and plugged in the charger, the led load always flashed. However, when I plugged the laptop battery already started the grid only, the hanging lamp orange and after an hour or two went green.

  I think this shock treatment can have done in battery electronics forget they were supposed to be dead. Anyway, I did with all three batteries and then ran to see how long d last. The results were:

  (1) the 780 battery failed last week (after 36 months used) can now run the laptop for an hour.
  (2) the 8100 battery (with the active service of 16 months, but 'believed dead' for two years) will now run for 10 minutes or more.
  (3) the 780 battery believed dead for two years (after 19 months used) appears to load but t does not work the laptop. Half of the battery ended up hot and half cold, so now I guess that it s really dead.

  Hoping others will compare notes, I've summarized below how long my battery packs lasted before they refused to pay more.

  Tecra780DVD:
  Original battery: 30 months (discarded too soon. Might have gotten more if I had tried to trick reset).
  First replacement: 19 months (stored for two years, after which reset didn't work).
  Second alternative: 36 months (after reset now works for an hour).

  Tecra 8100:
  Original battery: 16 months (stored for 2 years. After reset now lasts 10 minutes).
  First replacement: 41 months and always well run.

  Tecra S1:
  Original battery: 29 months and always well run.

  All are genuine Toshiba and operating conditions are quite similar for all. Laptops tend to run 4-8 hours per day with the charger plugged and maybe half an hour on battery only. Sometimes we forget and the charger remains connected all night.

  I m now wish I d tried the trick of reset on all batteries as soon as they failed, but at least I seem to have rescued two batteries. Even a moment of execution as short as 10 min is useful on a laptop that s especially power sector. It protects against power failure and you can keep your battery in the fridge until you need it for a trip.

• What is the battery life on an iPad 2?

  I have an iPad 2, about 4-5 years.  How long the dough is supposed to last on a single charge?  I was recently on a trip and read an ebook from my library.  The battery died after about 10 hours of playback in the aircraft market.  Do you think I should replace it?

  Thank you

  You need to explain what you mean by 'market reading '. If the iPad was any sleeping for the whole 10 hours (the iPad never went to sleep at all) you get what Apple suggests that you get with a full load. The iPad was asleep for half an hour to the total wven, aren't you always hurt.

  https://www.Apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/#iOS

  

  Your battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its capacity of origin to 1000 full charge cycles. The one year warranty includes the coverage of the service for a defective battery. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery life for $99, $6,95, subject to the tax of transport in addition.

• 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.
