Decline alarming life battery

Hello! Try to solve the problems here, any suggestions welcome!

I have a Dell laptop, Inspiron 15, 3000 Series computer that is running Windows 8. Not 10, not 7, 8.1 not. 8.

I've owned this PC for almost a year now. A year ago, I could run this laptop throughout the day on the setting of the average brightness without the symbol "Connect charger" arise. Lately, however, when I try to run my laptop when not on the charger, adjusting brightness, 100%, I have 2 hours of battery life. Period.

I ran troubleshooting program on my laptop to improve the use of the power, but it did nothing. I checked, and it is not about how high-performance.

I will admit that I tend to leave my laptop on the charger a lot when I'm not with her, sometimes all day and I keep on much of the time. And maybe, that has something to do with it.

I just want to know what is the problem with my computer to run his old abilities. Like I said before, any help that anyone would be willing to give me would be greatly appreciated!

~ Thank you!

Hey Shae,

Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

We need more information to help you better.

(1) have you updated the latest drivers for hardware/chipset on the manufacturer's Web site?

(2) do you use third-party applications/software on your computer?

Please be informed that it is not recommended that you plug the charger even if you run the laptop as it can degrade the performance of the battery. If you use applications/software from third-party manufacturers on your computer, they can consume excessive battery which can lead to the fall in the life of the battery.

A power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings (such as the display, sleep, etc.) who manages the way your PC uses power. The power management that you can use depend on the type of PC you have. I suggest to use the standby power plan that will consume less power and check to isolate the problem.

Please refer to the below link on how to set the standby power plan / create new power management.

    Question: What is the best option to maximize battery life battery with Lithium-ion batteries?

    Hello

    I wonder why you n check the user's manual t or have you checked it?
    The manual provides many useful tips, it confirms the information provided in document Toshiba

    However, I assume that the information provided in the document of Toshiba relate to Toshiba laptops and the wikipedia article is general information

    I have several laptops at home and I still have the battery charged and completely acquitted in the first three, four times.
    You know, you can compare the situation of a laptop with the batteries of mobile phones battery. It s always advised to load and unload completely the battery because of the effect of stack memory.

    But from my personal experience each battery loses life after 1 performance 1.5 year.

  • 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.

  • Equium A200: Matter of life battery

    I just bought this new Equium A200 computer laptop and the battery runs really fast - at least 1 hour. I have to keep constantly plugged in to keep his performance.

    I have implemented energy saving battery, but y at - it an extra battery that I can buy to improve and do better? Or is there anything else I can do with the settings to make this race more effectively? I need to take a lot and right now that it would not last very long and defeas the object to have a laptop.

    The battery life depends on the use of the laptop! So it's not easy to say how long the laptop needs to run on the battery.
    However, if you want to run the laptop a little more time using the battery then, you could buy a stronger battery which delivers more power for a long time
    You should take a look at the value of mA; more better

    Also please don t forget that the Vista operating system needs more power as an early OS like XP.
    Vista needs more power because it wastes more computing resources.
    I read that a same notebook would run 2 times longer on battery with preinstalled W2K or XP.

  • Portege M400: Matter of time life battery

    Hello
    I am looking to buy a tablet PC - was having a look at Portege M400 and model Tecra T7. Although the battery life would be tolerable, I suppose it depends on how you have configured the computer and how to use it - and I'd certainly a margin of safety for more than 5 hours (3 on the tecra). These models have the ability to swap a new battery in and out easily, or install a second battery to increase life expectancy?

  • Satellite Pro A30 - life battery and load

    First my laptop warranty has passed some time, so I can't send it back unless I can and do pay
    but recenetly my laptop battery life is a bit dead lately, it may last an hour or so on it

    But I recently discovered that it will charge to 86% then start discharge even still with the AC adapter is plugged
    Any ideas? I think to the replacement of the battery, but I was wondering if this is what is causing the problem

    See you soon

    If the battery is 3 years +, then there might just need replace.

    However it could be caused by other things, supply or circuit of the DC IN jack on the motherboard may have a problem.
    I would like to send the laptop to an ASP for a quote.

    Hello

    What to say dude battery working time depends on the use of the laptop and on the performance of the battery.
    I put t know what exactly the battery delivered with this laptop, but as far as I know it s a common standard battery. If you want to use the laptop much more time, I advise you to buy the stronger battery; for example, with 6000-8000mAh with Adapter Cable.

    By the way; You can configure the use of battery power in Vista power options.
    If you wish, you can create a new configuration of the plant to get the best performance from the battery.

  • G72 laptop Extended life battery prob

    I replaced my old battery (4000mAh) 6cell battery 12 cells (9000mAh). When I installed the battery and plugged my old charger he indicated that 71% remaining (not plugged in charge). charger works on battery.

    I ran the boot f2 on a battery test it indicates a failure as follows:

    My old charger(65 W) will manage the larger battery?

    What I say to the laptop that a larger battery is installed, I have so, how?

    56sunliner,

    Don't know if it's the same problem as you but my grandson had a laptop DV2000 and after only 2 1/2 years had to replace the battery. He looked online at the HP store and found a long battery life for its DV2000.

    long story short, the adapter supplied with the original battery wouldn't charge a new (or if he was in charge, was wwwwaaaayyyyy taking too long to register as % increase. Bought a 90 Watt charger (HP) and everything is ok with laptop and the battery.

    A second (aftermarket) charger never bad to have around, as they often die.

  • Laptop HP ST09 long duration of life: battery secondary load problem

    I recently bought a HP laptop computer ST09 long battery life, but it does not load how as I expect and cause me pain.   My computer is a Zbook of 15.

    Both batteries are detected by my Windows 7 number of functioning, however when an AC adapter is connected only the original battery charges.  This way in order to charge the secondary battery, I need to physically disconnect the original battery and have only the ST09 in.

    It is a very annoying procedure have to do whenever the secondary battery is discharged.  Is anyway at the same time load at the same time or just charge the secondary battery when the two are connected?

    OK done something that essentially solved the problem. There is a 'Quick Battery Charge' feature that can be enabled in the BIOS which stop the primary battery to 90% charge and launched a secondary battery loading to optimize the charge cycle.

  • Extend the life battery?

    Hey everybody,

    I am curious about the batteries in the execution of X220T and how do I extend my battery life; I don't want to not increase the duration of each charge, but rather keep it in relatively good condition 2-3 years on the road. What kinds of things will help or harm the health of my battery? I never interruption fee until he tells me is finished loading, and I try to remove the battery every time I use it plugged in for long periods of time. Do these effective things, or am I just kidding myself and put unnecessary strain on the battery latch?

    Thank you all for your help in advance!
