• Internal battery maintenance

  Hi all, I have a question about the maintenance of the internal battery. I've seen other people pointing to battery maintenance positions, but unfortunately it comes to removable batteries. Question is, what is the best way to take care of a battery internal? I mainly work in my office with the computer plugged, before, I would remove the battery. Now that the battery is internal, I can't. I leave connect all the time? Or should I disconnect once the battery is fully charged? Thank you!

  Callisto,

  Batteries have come a certain ways over the years. There should not be no problem leaving the battery connected permanently, there are some features included with the systems now that help keep the battery works to his maximum potential.

• X carbon 1 - utility of battery maintenance is not available

  My X 1 came with windows 8 is installed, but the thinkpad utilities do not include the utility of battery maintenance that I use to manage battery charge levels.

  East - intentional to win 8, or I can install it and expect it to work very well?

  Thank you

  I see.

  Looking further, it seems that some people are tinkering around with the registry for similar behavior.

  Thank you for your support.

• Power Manager - battery maintenance does it really work?

  I use a CTO E525. Since owning, almost 3 years now, I never had a message advising me when the thresholds have changed.

  If you don't have already figured it this out it's regarding the "optimize maximum life of the battery (change automatically for me)" option, which has been verified and the option "warn me when the thresholds change."

  In addition, reset battery meter also has an option to "Notify me when reset is recommended" which is also checked. However, I was never notified of a.

  Is the reason I'm bringing this place, I was looking to buy a new battery, until they are no longer available. My battery is in good enough condition, and the power manager supports this. After a count of 464 cycle I would have thought that he should have at least a few notifications about the battery. Even the thresholds have never changed.

  So my question is... It's really nothing. I really don't think. If anyone has any pictures, screen captures or links to the video of how some of these notifications appear, it would be too much. Periodically show messages about the load capacity is also activated, never seen a.

  PS - these forums/community is really bad. Virtually none of the sons began to get as an answer and many of them remain unsolved. Lenovo should have a team of programmers of high quality and of engineers to solve the problems of the people here. None of my previous posts have been resolved, and since the purchase of this Thinkpad, remain problems/flaws. It would be nice to get more tech savvy here.

  Check number of the tab of the battery for the ability to design and the full Charge capacity. By dividing by the former gives you your current battery health.

  I never got a notification until the battery was severely degraded, which could well be a good sign.

• The laptop battery maintenance: conflicting advice in the Knowledge Base?

  According to article MSW700073, taking care of your laptop batteryKnowledge Base, you should:

  "Use your battery to keep it cool. Don't let your computer permanently connected. It's a good idea to discharge and then recharge your laptop battery once a month. In addition, you should let your battery run before that recharge you it. »

  On the other hand, article Specifies how is battery meter? (no number; emphasis added):

  "Most laptops use lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. Like most batteries, lithium-ion batteries gradually lose their ability to store energy as they get older, whether or not charge you. Over time, this change in storage capacity significantly affects the accuracy of the battery meter. If frequently drain you a lithium-ion battery, and then recharge it, it can quickly lose its ability to hold a charge, which affects the accuracy of the battery meter. The practice of completely draining the battery and then full charge is recommended which applied to batteries nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and, to a lesser extent, the nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries. Lithium-ion batteries last longer if you charge them often, a little at a time, to maintain a minimum load of about 40 percent capacity.

  These statements seem contradictory.  Which is correct? If they are really contradictory, how do you get the incorrect an answer key?

  Yes, it is true that computer end up by losing their properties, but they are still ok, it's a good idea to 'exercise' the battery now and again...

• X61s maintenance manager/battery power and win 7 power management

  I know that my beloved Thinkpad is almost an antique, but I was struggling with the Lenovo Power Manager utility, after a fresh install of Win 7 Home Premium.

  First, it seems like the Lenovo's PM and the management of Aboriginal food Win 7 can have values in conflict for similar parameters (such as low and critical battery levels, for example).

  Most importantly, I can't get the battery maintenance functions in the Lenovo PM to do anything. If I say to manage the level of load to the maximum lifetime, battery charging to 100% and just stay there. If I use the laptop on battery and put back in charge, same thing - it costs just 100% and stays there.

  In addition, reset battery does not seem to do anything either. It is pretty hard to tell if it is still running. What seems to happen, is that I'll go through the steps, and the large button flashes slowly. That means it is running? But in any case, nothing happens. The battery is just sitting there fully charged.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  I have no advice to give, but I can confirm that my X61s with Win7-64 and PM v6.64.2 seems to work very well. I have thresholds of 30% battery charge / 80% of the value. PM keeps the battery charged within this range.

• Should I completely drain my laptop battery?

  I have a Satellite A660 laptop. I read that you should completely discharge batteries every month so that the charger can recalibrate what is 0% and 100%. This applies to this laptop? It also means that disable the hibernation security feature when the load decreases by 8%. It does not mean that the heads of the disk block once cost matrices?

  On the net, you can find many articles and discussions about this. In most cases, it is recommended using power supply battery only laptop battery discharge completely. Should not be 0% and in power options, you can set the action of critical-battery and critical battery level so this notebook can be turned off or hibernation before the battery is completely discharged.

  I found a very interesting page on the battery maintenance and you can find it here.

• Battery Equium A300D - 16 c died

  I bought this laptop about 3 years ago and the battery died recently. I tried to replace it with a battery Toshiba not fitted with the part number. This battery does not work.

  When I put the game in and it rebooted the laptop would make mention of the fact that there is no battery and the battery light would flash.

  However when I unplugged the laptop would run off the battery voltage but the laptop still say that there is no.
  I assumed that this battery was defective if returned and bought a Toshiba battery which is manufactured by Toshiba and the same battery as my old man.
  It is the same part number as my old battery challenge, but he has the same problem as the previous battery.

  I've updated the system BIOS when I bought the first laptop battery so I don't think that.
  I also downloaded another program for battery drive called "Battery maintenance", but he also says that the battery does not exist even when I unplug and run the laptop off the battery said.

  The original battery supplied with the laptop to purchase is yet recognized but keeps only fees for about 15 minutes due to age.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I let the laptop connected to the power adapter with the purchased new battery any longer. Leave it connected a throughout the night and then recheck if the battery is charged.
  You must also set the BIOS to values by default while the new battery is connected.

  Finally and above all I advise you to buy the battery directly from Toshiba ASP in your country. In this case, you can be sure that you would get from the original parts that are 100% compatible with the portable 100%

• Battery must be removed or not?

  I just bought a new HP 8570W laptop and I need to know how to handle the battery. My laptop is the msot of the time connected to the a/c adapter, the question is: should I remove the battery and connect only when you plan a trip?

  Generally speaking, the management of the laptop battery to keep it safe and in good condition? What are the best rules to recharge? I do not understand whether the battery is maintained under when he reached 100% of load or disconnects automatically it is removed.

  Thank you for any assistance. Best.

  Yes No more is an appropriate option, personally, I prefer now in and using at least once a week or more, as I found my staff & workbooks that it tends maintain cells healthier longer.

  With this option you are the best to vary the amount you use each discharge rather than keep it discharge roughly the same discharge level of say 50 to 70%, as the full charge of ocasional 15 to 20 percent will make the right cell & keep the higher lifetime capacity.

  With the option of storage in my view, State of charge of 40 to 50% is the best, I tend to go for 50% and have stored batteries from 2 to 6 months.

  Go with which option suits your needs better and not worry too much in the form option if performed well will be better than the effort of the average user on the battery maintenance ;-)

  Cycle count should not be a problem if you need use the battery then use him as extreme concern of charge cycles how you gets rather ridiculous in the real world, the problem is County of cycle on like HP and acer are low, as the quality of the cells is low & heat machine is strong the battery is superior and they put the lower title.

  As an example of our work books used out of Office charge about 300 cycles per year so that we at least 2 years on the low quality of the cells with cycle count as our probooks but our thinkpads have made more than 3 years.

  With HP normally, rebuild us the battery if the casing in good condition and reset the smart as control panel get cells better that way compared to hp OEM or aftermarket predefined options.

• URGENT! Lenovo B590 - bad health that plugged while battery!

  Hello, I have a Lenovo laptop B590 and received a message from the center of Solutions Lenovo telling me that my battery is in poor condition. He is currently 2%. I am connected with a power adapter and have not used the laptop unplugged. What should I do to fix this? My computer will still be able to run with just the AC power?

  UPDATE: I am now able to use my laptop with 0% battery (apparently KT is picking up the slack). As a solution, I am also trying a new exposed by resetting the gauge with the "Battery maintenance" function in the "Power Manager". He has just completed, now it shows 0% instead of 2%. Although the power manager says "100% battery remaining". As I am always online and the computer still seems to work, I guess it's okay. ....?

  Still wondering if I need to do something else (besides than the reset of the gauge) to recharge the battery, should I just remove it from the laptop, leave him alone, or must it be replaced?

  Purpledove,

  Have you tried to run a battery meter reset?

  Yes. It took my battery of 2% to 0% and now it says 100% fully charged"while saying"consider replacing your battery. " Of course, I do not need to replace the battery because I'm not using it anyway.

• automatically optimize for costs of life battery batt to 100% within the parameters of the power manager

  In the settings of my ThinkPad Power Manager W530, I chose the option "automatically optimize for life battery" (battery-> maintenance-> Mode of Charge of the battery). Nevertheless, he always fresh and keeps the battery at 100%. Is it normal for a battery 9 cells?

  Link to photo

  But many articles and discussions here at the forum State, actually in charge at 100% is not tor good battery life (see for example this article http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Welcome-FAQs-Knowledge-Base/How-can-I-increase-battery-life-ThinkPad/ta-... ). Do not miss anything?

  Thank you!

  Note of the moderator; image (s) for a total of > 50 K converted for the programming of the Forum rules

  No matter how many charge cycles the battery on it, just the time where you change the batteries maintenance mode. If you have configured to maximize battery life, the battery may charge at a lower percentage (somewhere around 90%, more or less a few percentage points), but will show this figure as "integral" or 100% for the system. If you change the mode to load completely, then the maximum capacity will change to read the actual capacity of the battery.

  The only way your situation would be a concern if, after setting the battery in order to maximize the battery life, then using the system on battery and load up once again, the battery always charged up to the full 94 w/h instead of reducing the number.
