Charaging the battery while working

Hello

I have a T520 with a battery 9 cells and I want to know everything worth knowing about how can I keep the battery in the healthiest condition possible:

I learned from his guides (T520 pdf, which are many... I don't really have the time to read all the) it is better to use the battery until it completely discharge then charge to 100% again and so on. also, I realized that if I am connected to the AC a lot (which means that I am in my room or anywhere not to use the portability of a laptop computer) it is best to disconnect the battery between 30-60% and put it in a normal environment (dry and not very high temp).

you have more tips I should know?

and more specifically: is it okay to charge the battery while I work on the laptop?

so far I tried of angrrr while the laptop is off, but I see that it isn't working-it's difficult to synchronize between my tasks and load

Thanks in advance

(1) it is probably best that you keep the battery in the laptop for two reasons,

(a) he acts as UPS

(b) the laptop would not strangle his CPU if you are on the adapter 65 w.

(2) there was no reason why charge the battery while working will cause problems if you use the adapter supplied with your thinkpad.

If you want to optimize your battery, then take a look at this guide.

If he ordered the laptop with the battery 9 cells, he should have with the 90 Watt adapter.

  • Satellite A30 switch of the battery, while the AC is plugged

    I've had my A30 for 3 years now, but recently it has begun to move to the power of the battery while it is still plugged into current alternative. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Hello

    In my opinion, there are two possibilities:
    First the adapter has a fault or cable is broken and there is sometimes power fluctuations.
    The second possibility could be bad connection between AC and power plug on the laptop or between the power supply and the motherboard.

    However, I don't think you have enough experience to solve alone. I recommend you contact the ASP in your country for the control of the laptop.

  • Satellite M100 will not charge the battery while the computer is on

    Hi all

    I have a M100 and the battery won't charge while it is running.
    The battery starts to charge when I plug in the adapter and the orange light comes on. 10 seconds later it stops charging.
    If the battery has more than 90% of the costs it wll the rest very well.
    I have three batteries that all do the same thing on this computer. All three batteries are working fne on my other M series.

    When the computer is off, it loads very well.

    Why is it so?

    Hello

    I think that the problem of charging the battery is about the problem of portable equipment.
    Maybe it's something s wrong with electronic power supply or another part on the motherboard.
    I doubt that the problem could be solved by updating the BIOS but you should definitely check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS update and test again
    If that does not help, then you should get in touch with a local service for verification of equipment technician

    But note; If it s the question of the motherboard, the motherboard needs to be replaced and it would be a costly affair

  • Satellite A200: Should I remove the battery when working on the power supply

    Hello

    I've been running an A200 machine for the last 2 months, bought as a desktop replacement in order to fit in my small apartment. I realize now that I never ued work on battery - it is always powered on sector. Since this is unlikely to change, should I remove the battery? Deing battery degrades remaining in the machine while it is continusouly by the industry feeding, or does it not matter?

    Thank you very much in advance for your reviews.

    GW.

    You can remove it, but it should not be done. For me, it's stupid to remove the battery and let the dust make the battery place dirty. The batteries we use today are very good and Scott wrote the electronic power supply just to check if the battery is full and care the battery and the battery capacity.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry is frozen, it is safe to remove the battery while it is?

    It's a curve 9320, I bought two weeks ago. There is no data plan, I just use our WiFi at home.

    My curve has moments where it freezes so none of the buttons work (including the off button). Sometimes, he thaws when I plug in the charger and other times it doesn't. When this happens I let battery short of energy and load it, then that's fine for a while. It takes time, so I wonder if it is safe to take out just the battery? Or it's a bit like hard - boot a computer when it is not good for the system?

    Recently, he was freezing when I go into my text messages. I know that this is not a memory problem, I remove messages after I finished a conversation. And I'm not a very conversational person in the first place. XP

    Yes, do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most defects and errors of operating system, and you will lose any data on the device doing so.

  • Tecra S3 - how long the battery still works under normal conditions of use?

    I have Tecra S3, I know the duration of battery power under normal conditions of use. It does not work for more than 80 80. It is still new to laptop.

    Hello

    AFAIK the Tecra S3 has been delivered with the battery 4700mAh standard.
    The Tecra S3 also supports other high capacity batteries. For example:

    PA3509U-1BRM 9-cell Li-ion 7050mAh
    PA3357U-3BRL 12Cell Li - ion 8800mAh

    These batteries are much stronger than the standard battery and should works more than 80 min.
    Additional if you think that there is something wrong with your battery life then I would recommend contacting the Toshiba service partner for the control of that party. But like I said above; These large capacity batteries are working longer than the standard battery.

  • Satellite Pro A40 showing that it's on the battery while the sector is plugged

    Hello

    My A40 is plugged completely happy and light on the front is to prove her it's ok. However Windows shows it as being a battery which stop making me update SP2 etc.

    Toshiba Power saver software shows the same. The battery meter displays a full icon but reported as unknown battery life.

    Any ideas.

    Hello

    first of all make sure that power management is enabled in the BIOS settings and is controlled by the operating system. (ACPI/APM settings) I don't know if you can disable this feature by accident on your model of laptop or if there is an entry at all on the power management, nut in the case where there is, it switches ON.

    There can also be some related motherboard driver that is missing or messed up (misinterpreted) Windows. You can check first, if there is a conflict with the settings in the device associated with the devices in System Manager. If there is a yellow sign next to one of these devices, you will need to address this issue by the resettlement of some drivers.

    Alternatively, you can save all of your work from your laptop and reinstall the laptop recovery CD. More than 70 percent of the pilot, the problems, it's easier healing.

    Whatever the result will be, please be so kind and come back to share your findings for future reference and assistance.

  • Satellite Pro L300-1AQ only to charge the battery while the phone is in use

    I have a Toshiba SP L300-1AQ.

    In the last month we started having problems with it quit unexpectedly, even on power outlet.
    This morning I used it for about a half hour. When I started the battery level was 39% full, so I plugged it into the outlet. The fire area on the front of the laptop came and taskbar in Windows icon showed it was plugged and load (battery light was orange).

    After half an hour, I checked the battery and it was down to 16%. I turned down the brightness of the screen to try to reduce energy consumption, but less than a minute at the level of the battery was down to 15%. The toolbar icon and power lights both still power showing tasks. The power adapter was cold to the touch. I expect that it is hot. It seems to me that the power adapter does not provide enough power to run the laptop and recharge the battery. If the laptop is in sleep mode, the battery may charge.

    We need a new power adapter?

    Thank you

    Nigel

    Hello

    It's really hard to say what the reason is but first of all, I think its hardware problem and not software related.
    Maybe the card mother doesn t charge battery problem more or the AC/DC adapter is defective. So can you test another adapter AC/DC to a friend for example? It would be interesting to know because if an AC/DC adapter works it seems to be a problem with the motherboard.

    I don t have Satellite Pro L300, I only Satellite L300 but it works really well and I can t notice a problem with the battery charging. It s all ok again :)

  • Satellite L40: Can I remove battery while working with AC adapter

    Could someone tell me what I need to do?

    I use laptop mainly on the sector and someone told me to get out batt.
    Is it true

    see you soon
    Doug

    Greetings
    It is generally recommended when a laptop is used mainly on the sector that the battery is removed. Excessive load is not too good for the battery. I know that there are intelligent load circuits with modern laptops, but I am a bit of a Luddite in this matter and do not trust them completely.
    Of course, it is important that you remember then replace the battery when portability is necessary...

  • Streaming mp3 using the Audio tag does not work in the app, while working in the browser

    Hello

    I fight with this problem on the second day and still can not get it to work.

    I'm on Soundcloud mp3 streaming and all works in Wellington and the browser on the device, he refuses to work in the application.

    -Do you have someone at - it had the similar problem?

    -Have you had a chance to make the streaming solution work in app?

    -It could be cause by the fact that Soundcloud uses a 302 redirect to a temporary URL?

    Thanks in advance

    I think that the redirect can be a problem. It works if you choose a url that links directly to a stream for example

    Have you tried? I used the audio tag to read feeds with success on OS6 and OS7. On OS6 was a problem of the CBC, but the original CBC played yet.

  • BlackBerry Z10 problems with the battery while using the LTE

    Given that I am connected to LTE (4 G) battery is not longer than 8 hours. Is this normal?

    Use of the battery can vary from one user to another, based on dozens of factors, including running applications, intensity of the mobile signal, the overall health of battery, use of data, etc. There is no use of a normal battery without comparing many factors.

    But 8 hours use of the battery can be normal that Q10 with moderate to heavy use in an area with a great LTE signal at least.

  • What happens if I leave the battery while facebook is installed via USB on a 9300 with os6 smartphones blackBerry?

    It has a red X on the battery icon and I can't remove the battery because the desktop software says do not disconnect it during installation. But it has been more than 15 min & its still like that. Should I remove the battery or leave it? It will be usable if I leave the battery. It was ONLY facebook being installed, he always says to wait until the initialization of devices

    If the application is installed and that you unplug your device OS with force could get damaged. As it is on facebook only you should consider pulling the plug. If things solve then you will have no choice to meet.

  • Portege M700 - replacement of the battery - replacement work?

    The existing block will charge is no longer. It's a Li - ion PA3191U-5BRS - 10.8V 4700 mAh. I have a spare battery almost new for my earlier Portege with idenitcal fittings but with 4600mAh 10.8V. It is not a model of Toshiba and said that it was to replace PA3176U-2BRS. Can I use it in my M700 without risk of damage or loss of performance?

    Hello

    To be honest, I doubt that it will work because the requirements are different.
    In your case I Don t try, in the worst case, you destroy the computer.

    It would be better if you buy a new battery with the exact specifications. Service provider authorized in your country may make you an offer for it.
