Discharge the battery when 'off' on Satellite

If I leave my machine "off" for a week or two the battery capacity decreases by 20%. Assuming that the battery capacity is 2.5Ah (it takes about 2-3 hours to load 'off') this means that it uses at least 0.5ah / SEM, which equals a minimum continuous drain of 3mA.

This seems very high for functions 'essential' cmos so I can only assume that either
There's a self-discharge current flowing through the stack (i.e. the battery has a short flexible failure: Li - ion cells normally have very low self-discharge c.f phone. mobile technology use: my phone battery 1aH only releases)<1% per="" week="" when="" switched="" off)="">
or something is not put out completely.

I have had the machine a few months and would have not waited any deterioration of the battery for this technology (in a former existence that I spent many years in the search for the battery)

P.S. I would appreciate answers that explain rather than "this is normal; don't you worry"

Hello

Sorry that I have to repeat that, but it's really normal that the battery loses 20% capacity if the laptop is off for a long time. Even on the night stack ability goes down 2 to 5%. I don't want to talk about batteries for mobile phones or other products, but for mobile phones is really nothing unusual. The same thing happen on my laptop Tecra.

  • After a minute to the power of the battery turns off my Satellite 1400

    Hello! I need your help! Whenever I go to the power of the battery, all of a sudden, a minute later, my laptop turns off without reason! The battery is fully charged. What do you think is the problem? My laptop is 4 years old.
    It is a Satellite 1400.
    Thank you very much!

    Hi Krissy

    In my opinion, everything that happens has a reason any. From your description, I think that the battery is at the end and should be replaced.

    It may be that the battery is full, but there is not enough power. I have a similar problem with Tecra 9000. Unit is also about 4 years. On battery it maybe rolls 10 minutes but after that this time he switched down suddenly.

  • Satellite L500-1UU - disconnect the battery when it is connected to the AC adapter / CC

    Hello world

    I have purshaced new Toshiba Satellite L500-1UU
    CPU: Intel (r) Core i3 CPU M330 2.13 GHz
    Physical memory: 4096MB RAM
    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 6.1.7600

    My question is: remove the battery when I use my computer laptop while its connected to the AC adapter would be wise or not? This would increase or decrease the life of the battery, or it will not affect anything?

    Is i3 processors have a technique of centrino disconnect battery power whent, it is fully charged?

    What do you think of this?

    Hi Khaild Essam,

    I agree with Akuma. There is no problem, remove the battery when the AC/DC adapter is connected. If you can do it. In addition the battery charge will be stopped if it s at full charge. The laptop consumes energy to AC/DC adapter only.

    If you remove the battery and work with AC/DC adapter only, the battery life will be improved a little because it s not in its use.

  • Satellite A500-1GL: it is advisable to remove the battery when you use the network

    I know this is a silly question but its actually something I know not so thought I would ask.

    I almost always plug my laptop into the supply line (satellite a500 1gl)
    I was wondering have you actually keep the battery installed even when using the electrical network.
    Or is it really advisable to remove the battery when you use the network?
    I didn't know if the battery should always be in place.
    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    A few years ago it was recommended to remove the battery of the laptop if the AC adapter is plugged. What keeps the constant charge battery
    New age of batteries are better you can leave the battery in the Bay it s ok and it should not affect the performance

    However, sooner or later each battery would die it s only a matter of time, you know

  • Satellite A500 - Remove the battery when connected to the network?

    Hello

    I bought a new Satellite 500 and I would use it as much as possible. I'm not sure the stage of development of this battery. Should I remove the battery when I use the laptop at all times with the net supply?
    Or this does not damage the battery longer years yet there is, or is the problem of the destruction of the battery because of the heat and being reloaded frequently persists?

    I'm sorry if I could post to redundantly, but it is difficult to search for information, since I'm not a native speaker.
    I encourage you just for a small tip for a related thread if available.

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    To be honest, I often work with connected AC/DC adapter, but I never removed my battery. Sometimes I decide to work in another room and then I just unplug the AC adapter and that s all the! :)

  • How to manage the battery when the AC is plugged into Satellite?

    Hello

    I just purchased Toshiba laptop first and want to get the best of the life of the battery, like that on my last laptop is now fuck.

    My question is: if I have to run the laptop almost always from the power supply, is it possible or desirable actually remove the battery all together way to do not subject the battery to repeated loading and unloading cycles.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I also recommend to remove the battery from the laptop, if you use Notepad for most with the AC adapter.
    You should also 3 - 4 times charge and discharge the battery completely.
    This is necessary because the batteries maintain a memory effect.

    You said it s your first laptop from Toshiba. So I think you should take a look in the user manual that must be installed on the device.
    In my manual, I found several interesting information about the handling of the battery.
    So it could be interesting for you, too.

  • Satellite U series: Question about bypassing the battery when connected on AC

    Hi, I am a bit newbie to PC Toshiba laptop (series U) and I was wondering if my laptop has this feature where it bypasses the battery when it is fully charged and the power supply cable is connected?
    I see the battery blue led is on even when it is fully charged and the power is connected, it means that my computer is still using the battery?

    I'm running a lot and I will not waste my battery life.
    Thanks for any comments.

    Hello

    Congratulations on your new machine, I understand that worried you´re for your battery life. I was scared too, but a lot of people here in the forum told me that, in each new machine for many years (i.e. about 6 to 9 years) almost every laptop has an electronic charge that regulates the process of charge of the battery.

    Don t worry, if your battery is fully charged, the built-in charging circuit is a special State that is as "cool cool" to maintain your battery and to protect the battery.
    S better to keep the battery in the machine then removing it.

  • Equium M40X-discharge the battery. Help, please!

    I recently bought an Equium M40X - 149, and I did not understand why when the power adapter is plugged into the battery discharges and the computer turns off! So I returned to the store and they said it's just the cycle of the battery and I would need to go into bios to change the settings.
    I went into the bios, but I couldn't find anything that I could change to stop it! Can someone point me in the right direction because this is inconvinient for me to keep taking the battery when I want to use the laptop!

    Thank you
    Gemma

    Hi Gemma,

    Switching between AC and battery power is normally controlled by the Toshiba Power utility. You can check the configuration and parameters to confirm that you are not defined to use the power of the battery.

    When the PC is turned off then a chip on the motherboard controls the battery when the power is connected. This prevents the overload (and damage resulting to) the battery.

    If the problem persists, I would re - install the utility of Toshiba power from your utility disk or from the Toshiba web site.

    The best way to save battery life is to go into the settings and turn off Apps Refresh

    I now get 3 / 4 hours of battery life more.

    You cannot return to a previous ios 9.1

    See you soon

  • should I take out the battery when the laptop is plugged in

    Hello everyone, starting here. I have a question about my hp dv7-4274nr laptop... I said, when you use the computer should I take out the battery when it is plugged in to the 110 (ankle) is this true?

    Thanks Mike

    No, the only reason would be if you use the laptop on the sector for a long time, like a month or more, then drain the battery in 30-40%, and remove, store in a cool place.

  • Discharge of battery when the Satellite U500 - 10 M is set to OFF

    Hello!

    My U-500 to 10 M * IN OFF-PLAN, * the battery is discharged at 20% per day and during 4 days-rejected in their entirety.

    Is this normal?

    Hi mate

    This is nothing unusual.
    You can take a look in the user manual and you will find information on the lose the power of the battery in STOP mode.

    But note;
    -sleep / recovery mode hibernation etc. will reduce the time that the battery is drained considerably
    -Always check if Wake On Lan or Wake it HDMI and USB sleep and charge is disabled in the BIOS

    This will help to save the battery.

  • Satellite A200 - loses the battery, switch off the power

    I have a relatively old Satellite A200, yet almost all inside is new except the battery. The battery has a very short life, but that's because its old. Recently the computer started to suddenly lose the battery, so the charge light stays on, the battery light turns off and the battery icon said "plugged in, not charging." However, the computer still work on battery power. If I see it at the time, then by removing and replacing the charger repeatedly, I can start it load again, but if I am not it switches off without warning. Since the battery life is now less than a minute which often.

    I don't think that the problem is with the charger because it always shows the charger is plugged in, and when the computer is off the battery light is always on when it is plugged. I had a problem with the power connector, but if the motherboard was recently replaced so I don't think that's it either.

    If someone could help it would save me a lot of frustration, thank you.

    Hello

    At first, I must say that you should not be frustrated. Problems with consumer products are normal, and each of us has problems with laptops, televisions or other electronic product.

    Let's see what you can do about it.
    Your description is OK, but what I want to know is follow:
    When you remove the battery can work on your laptop with no problems (start work, cut)?

    I also think that the battery is too old and I presume it's troublemaker in the history. It is not easy to explain what behavior flashing if you have a defective hardware or old coin inside.

    Maybe, you need to buy the replacement of the battery and check the features for laptop and the battery, just to see if everything will be OK again. If you will be faced with the same problem again then we can discuss what may be the problem.
    In my opinion only a reason for this could be electronic power supply.

    What do you think?

  • Satellite A100 - save the battery when the laptop in a longer retention

    Hi, I have a * Satellite A100 * about 4-5 years. There was no intensive use (it's hospitality do not work) and is in good shape.

    I go there for at least 6 months and will PLAN A - most likely need to put the computer in stock, that is to say. No one will be able to access. PLAN B - there is a very low probability that someone could "baby sit" it but it can't count on him.

    Can anyone suggest what is the best way to deal with the LiOn battery in the above two cases?

    Can I remove or leave in the laptop?

    Is there a way to stop the battery completely dead while in storage / is not not in use?

    Thanks... any advice appreciated.

    Hey Buddy,

    In my opinion it makes no difference if you put the battery 6 months or leave it in the computer. In both cases, the battery must be charged because it also loses power when it s turned.

    If nobody is using the computer you can remove the battery, otherwise and someone would use you can install the battery.
