• Samsung series 7 Slate PC - upgrade to windows 10 and battery performance

  Hello

  Currently, I own a Samsung slate PC with windows 7 and have used for more than three years now. Even if it is a versatile tool, I always found that its battery life is very poor.

  Does anyone know if windows 10 is more efficient energy than windows 7? I would like to hear from anyone who has a Samsung slate PC and I noticed a difference in the life of the battery since the upgrade to windows 7.

  See you soon

  Paul

  I have upgraded to windows 10 on my tab 7. My battery time is the same, but my 7 slate is stupid on windows 10. It's always a computer on batteries that use a lot of power.  I use it as a convenience to move because I am working on it, but anchor it at any time. Windows 7 was not serious, but when I tried to upgrade to windows 8 my touch screen stop working. Install Windows 10 was like having a new computer, everything works. But he ate a lot of space. Once again, it ' s a computer with mobility in pill form.» I like it.

• Why battery life decreases significantly when I use Safari?

  I upgraded to El Capitan 10.11.5. on my Macbook air early 2014.  Just when you open Safari, it is listed as using the significant energy and the battery life decreases by several hours.

  I have no software extensions or third running.  I didn't have bugs or other problems since the installation of El Capitan, just this matter of battery life.

  If anyone has any recommendations on how to investigate this, I would be very grateful.  Thank you.

  Please, back up all data before proceeding.

  Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

  ~/Library/Safari

  A right click or Ctrl-click on the line and select

  Services ▹ Open

  the contextual menu.* should open a folder named "Safari". Quit Safari runs. One or more files in the open file must have a name begins as follows:

  History.DB - wal

  Move these files and only those who, in the trash, leaving the window open. Restart the application and test. If there is no change, stop again and place all other files with a name starting in 'History' of the Safari folder to the trash. The browser history will be empty. If possible, restore the file named "History.db" from an earlier backup problem.

• DV9000 laptop battery life

  I have a HP dv9000 series laptop for about 2 years and my battery is in poor condition.  It is typical of this battery life is only 2 years? Given that I keep my PC plugged in most of the time, he wears on the battery? I just want to know if I should buy a new battery or do I check to see if it is covered by the warranty.

  Thank you

  I'll save you the trouble. Even if you get the longer warranty the battery is covered with padt 1 year generally not unless you have obtained the guarantee of store on top of the HP warranty. 2 years isn't a bad battery life. That's all what I expect to get. Battery life is governed by the number of cycles of discharge and duration and charges since. If you take a battery that is new in the box, it will be lower after 2 years when new even if you do not use. If you literally never use the battery you can remove it during the execution of the laptop on the sector. He unloads up to like 30% and store it in a cool, dry and dark place (but not in the refrigerator).

• Battery life and noise protected R700-184

  Dear all

  I have purchsed a Toshiba protégé R700-184 a few months back.
  It seems that I made a terrible choice.

  The machine is so darn loud. More battery life is miserable
  From Toshiba Web site stated that the battery (max.) is approximately 9 hours, but it only lasts a few hours at most even when I do the most basic things like the navigation or by using MS Office.
  It takes almost 6 hours to change the battery.

  Kindly let me know if I need to change the settings of my phone or if there is no other solution for this problem.

  I'm really disappointed by Toshiba.

  Hello

  To me, it seems that you need to optimize the cooling module and battery performance in Windows 7 power management.

  Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
  This means that battery could unload faster because devices such as GPU, CPU, screen, HARD drive run with better performance

  In Windows 7 power management, you can optimize a single module if the laptop is running on battery.

  You can reduce the performance of the processor that would slow down the cooling modules and this battery work would extend and make fans for laptop quieter.

• Mid-2015 MacBook Pro 15 has Horrible battery life

  I have a Macbook Pro 15 mid-2015 is the basic model, 2.2 Ghz and 256 with no graphics other than the Pro of the Iris.  I got it for about 3 months and I take off the power once a weekish and use it around the House.  Whole reason I decided to go Apple was because I wanted to the battery life that windows machines cannot offer with that kind of power.

  I must have got a spleen or something because my battery life is bad.  I lance 50% screen and backlight OFF and do nothing to keep open.  My Dock has nothing open except for the mail to notify me and my browser if I use it (98% of the time).  The battery life is maximum of 4-5 hours to do this constantly, the only time where I got was more a road trip where I turned the backlight and display off and using only iTunes to listen to music through my headphones via bluetooth, it provided for 20 + hours this day here.  Just get here for the last minutes went from 38 to 19 percent more than 31 minutes of battery time.  I know a decent amount about computers and I am a saver of energy mass unless I'm hip, low light, no backlight, no program didn't open that I do not use etc and yet I get a ridiculous autonomy.

  What should I do? Any suggestions? I read somewhere on the power off and then when you power back up hold down Option + command + R to put something else inside the machine.

  My battery life is normal for what I described?  It of not like I'm that fool who knows nothing about computers and leaves open pages, mail, messages, itunes, Skype and browser just because I can.  I leave nothing open (so no programs on the platform were the 'point' under them), erasing everything that isn't necessary VIA activity monitor, such things as creative cloud.  I'm just puzzled.  I must have got a dud.  Please help and advise me on what I should / test.

  Running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3, but it's not just because of El Capitan, this has been like that since Yosemite when I bought first.

  Thank you

  Your computer is still under warranty, so do the logical thing: make an appointment at the Apple Store - Genius Bar store and bring it into service. If you are in the United States or is unable to make an appointment in this way, contact your Apple store. Don't forget that you have free phone service for 90 days after purchase.

• 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.

• Satellite A210 - question about the battery life

  I have a problem: my laptop works only 1 hour of unplugged to electricity, so my battery died after working of 55minutes (I mean I look at the pictures or typing in WORD). Is this normal? How long is the average battery life?
  My model is SATELLITE A210/1AP (4000mAh) (my laptop is new; I bought it a week ago)
  Please write how much your maximum battery work.

  It is not easy to discuss this topic. With similar activity, I can use my Satellite A200, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. I don't know how you're using your laptop, but I recommend you to use all the power settings that can make the life of the battery a little longer.

  Check the method of cooling, power profile, reduce the brightness of the display and turn off WIFI if you do not use and so on.

  You must also understand that Vista needs far more resources than Windows XP Home edition and the life of the battery under Vista is not identical with Windows XP Home edition.

• Portege R500-126 battery life

  I bought the Portege R500-126 @2 nine weeks ago and with SDS and no DVD/CD, I was expecting, as announced, to * 8 hours * autonomy

  To test, I fully charged the battery that was supplied with the machine, selected power plan 'Power Saver', out the charger cable and curled only 3 hours later, with no use of computer laptop whatoever, the battery is almost discharged

  On the Toshiba sales site, I noticed they sell one * Li - Ion 6 CELLS 5800 MAH * battery for £95 + VAT, is the same battery that comes with R500-126 and is anyone else having this problem?

  Hello

  I found this website product Toshiba Portégé R500-126:
  http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/productPage.do?PRODUCT_ID=145824

  But unfortunately, there is nothing on the duration of battery life.
  There is only this;
  Maximum life: currently no Windows Vista battery reference available official result

  Still is it that Vista needs more energy as another Vista OS (i.e. XP) eats the laptop and my knowledge resources, he needs two times more energy than XP.
  In addition the run time depends on hardware configuration. Stronger systems of waste more energy as devices with a lower yield.

  However, to you in question;
  AFAIK the R500 was equipped with the PA3612U-1BAS/BRS 6cell battery pack.

• Is satellite L500-14N - possible to see the battery life?

  Hello

  is it possible to show the life of the battery in percent and in hours and minutes in the taskbar? (Windows 7 64-bit)

  Energy saving does not support Windows 7, I think. Are there any other utility that can show battery info?

  Hello

  > not only in percentage battery life
  That s a feature! ;)

  The battery life on Vista and Windows 7 displayed in percent. If you want in hours and minutes too you must install an additional tool such as Notebook BatteryInfo. Use Google to find this program!

• ThinkPad X 220 what happened to my battery life?

  Hello

  I brought my X 220 in 2011 with a battery 9 cells and could get about 14 hours of battery life out of it. The old battery and would not be at full capacity so I brought a new battery 9 cells of Lenovo in December August 2015. But the new battery gives me only 4 hours of autonomy. What happened to the other 10 hours I used to get in 2011?

  Hi Ruben,.

  The battery seems fine. She still holds 87% of its nominal capacity. (Less than 80% the first year would be eligible for a replacement under warranty).

  When the battery runs down, it does little by little, or is there a point where it drops quickly to say 60% to 20%? (That would be an indication of a defective cell in the battery.)

  The drain of the battery elementsindividuellement is the brightness of the screen. Try to reduce that as low as possible.

  Regarding the use of CPU in the background, go to the Windows Task Manager (Ctl-Alt-Del...), click the process tab, and you will get a list of all running processes. Click the CPU column to sort descending by the CPU usage.

• Satellite A100 - battery life is increased from 100 min to 20 min after 1.5 years

  After 1.5 years, the battery life dropped about 100 minutes within 30 minutes.

  I thought that the battery was bad, but after that Windows automatically stopped because he thought that the battery was empty. I plugged the power cord for 10 seconds approximately, started the computer laptop, unplugged immediately and let it run in the BIOS screen. It has been running for more than 45 minutes, so that the laptop is off. Then

  I guess the battery was still high capacity, but somehow calibration data has become invalid.

  Is it possible to calibrate the battery? I have not found such a feature in the BIOS, where all my other phones have such a feature (even if I never need for others!)

  Hello

  I think you're a little confused about the duration of battery life and performance of the battery.
  But you should t be confused because it is nothing unusual.

  After about 500 times charge/discharge, the battery will begin to lose clean performance.
  This means that after a longer time of use, the battery performance will decrease and a day you need to replace.

  My 7 year old laptop doesn t work on battery power. The power of the battery takes about 2 min same it s fully charged. I know that I should replace, but I use this laptop as desktop Pc. It s always plugged in.

  If don t wonder about the performance of your battery. It s normal behavior.
