Less than 5% of battery, MacBook is unusable...

I have a MacBook Pro 13 "2015 and I'm having a problem where if the battery drops to 5% the laptop starts to lag and do a lot of stuttering... I can't even watch a video on YouTube, it's unusable... I think the laptop is downclock just the CPU, so it does not use a lot of power, y at - it a setting or a program which can disable this? Thanks for the reply!

You are not supposed to run the battery of a portable computer to zero. Plug it into AC.

  • Windows 7 adjustable threshold less than 100% of the battery charge?

    Hello.

    I have a Clevo P170HMx which is a cell phone game impressive.

    Probably the only thing I don't like is that my battery is always 100%.  I used my laptop plugged into an electrical outlet.

    and knowing that to have my battery to 100% and always load will destroy the battery life.

    My previous laptop was an IBM Thinkpad, and it had a maximize battery gauge allows you to define the allowed charge batery

    threshold.  I got this game to start the load to 15% and stop loading at 20%.  I had this same battery from the time of purchase

    until 4 years later, I got my new laptop, the battery remained in excellent condition with load capacity full not escape

    as do other batteries when they stay at 100% and reload constantly.

    Is it possible on Windows 7 pro to change the threshold of battery charge to stop less than 100% load to save battery life

    life?  Or is it Windows software available for download that will make this recommended?

    If Windows 7 is not able to do this, I would say something in an update service pack or the next version of Windows.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    See you soon...

    Hello

    In normal circumstances as soon as the lithium-ion battery is full, a properly functioning charger will stop the charge and will only engage when the battery voltage drops to a low level. Most of the users do not remove AC power, and this practice is safe.

    The latest Lithium-ion batterires have a limited number of Discharg/charge cycles.

    You can create a detailed report on the State of the battery to double check the battery status.

    1. go to Start / all programs / Accessories. Click on the command prompt and select run as administrator.

    2 in the command prompt window, copy / paste the following command.

    powercfg-energy-output %userprofile%\desktop\energy-report.html

    Press ENTER.

    Wait for the command to complete (usually about 2 minutes).

    This create a file named energy - report.html and place it on your desktop.

    3 go to your desktop and double-click the file to open.

    Scroll to the bottom for the battery: battery information section.

    You will see:

    Rated xxxxx

    Xxxxx full last Charge

    (Where xxxxx is a number)

    4 to calculate the amount of full Charge capacity left in the battery split the value of the last Charge full rated capacity and multiply by 100.

    For this example , use the following numbers.

    Nominal capacity 4400

    Last full 2937

    Calculator enter 2937 and divide by 4400.

    Multiply the multipliez le resultat result by 100 , then press =.

    The result will be 66,75

    This means you have 66,75% of the nominal capacity of the battery.

    Tell us what you find.

  • Is there a settings in Win7/HP have that battery does not load until it is less than 95%

    I just bought a HP Pavilion dv6 - 7043cl laptop and have noticed that the battery does not load unless it is less than 95%.  I am very concercerned because I had one cell different from another company where I had battery problems.  That the manufacturer was not helpful, and I will never buy their share again.

    I heard good things about HP, that's why I decided to buy this particular machine.  However, I've only had this machine for 3 days and now it begins.  I can't find a Win 7 (I'm under Win 7 home Premium 64-bit) setting that controls when the battery starts to charge.  It is a function of the HP Power Manager?  Is this a feature of the ships with their computers HP laptop battery?  Or is it that indicates a problem with this machine?   I am a student and I need a reliable laptop for school.

    Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

  • X 1 slice battery goes bad after less than 24 hours.

    installed new battery slice on the X 1, got fully charged.

    After using the computer on and outside, including automatically putting in sleep mode, battery now show 87% then it says:

    2 battery: The battery error has occurred. The battery cannot be charged. Replace the battery.

    Tried to reset the State of the battery, as well as to drain and recharge. He doesn't really like it seems to cancel the first battery and will just not work without power.

    When connecting power I get the clear orange for a few seconds and then no.

    Computer works fine without the battery slice.

    I called support and opened a ticket but it's always a shame that after 1 month of waiting time for the battery: it lasts less than 24 hours.

    anyone of these problems?

  • I have owned items 12, less than a year, but recently, I went from a pc windows for macbook, surely, I don't have to pay full price to use?

    So I've owned less than 12 items a year and rarely used because of my bad computer but recently I switched to a macbook, I have to pay full price again if I want to put it and use it on my MAC?

    I used this online support chat and was told that I would have to pay full price again, which seems just ridiculous.

    Someone at - it experience with this?

  • Go to bed before exhausted battery MacBook Pro retina (mid-2012)

    I hope that someone in the community can help with this question.

    I have a MacBook Pro (mid-2012) with a battery 3.2 old Yes and less than 300 cycles. I think the battery is depleting faster (which is natural after 3.2 years) but benchmarking between percentage left and the unit goes into mode 'sleep' is meaningless. For example, tonight the battery came into sleep mode with 16% left on the screen - sound almost if the MacBook thought it was exhausted.  I have heard do NOT need calibration for that MacBook Pro, but it feels like it does.  Which leaves me feeling very concerned on what continues.

    Things I've tried so far:

    1. full reset SMC and General reboots.

    2. a full discharge and recharge (attempted calibration despite says that's not necessary).

    3 using the activity monitor to see if something is sucking energy unduly.  (Which there isn't, and everything seems normal).

    4 using the battery health app to look at the State of the battery - said its 87% in good health and no calls for service or replacement.  ('Normal' status).

    Anything related or apparently wrong - but certainly go faster down and switch mode 'sleep' around 16 to 19%.

    All the words of wisdom of the community?

    Thanks in advance.

    Brad.

    A full release just the risk damage to your battery. Are you sure that the Mac is not just go to sleep as it was designed to do? Try to reset your default energy-saving preferences. If that does not resolve the problem, maybe it's a problem with the operating system, in which case you should try to reinstall OS X by pressing down the command key and the R key as soon as you see the Apple logo at the start of your computer to the top and then clicking "reinstall Mac OS X" and following the on-screen instructions.

    I hope you find this information useful.

  • drain battery MacBook or normal?

    I bought a macbook 12 "retina display earlier this year. I use it only once every three weeks or more. I usually load completely before I have unplug the unit and it is sitting for three weeks and when I turn it on it has lost about 30% of its power, according to the percentage at the top battery icon. Is it normal for a fully charged battery to sink down when not in use? (I ran a diagnostic test Apple and all removed). Useful tips on this are appreciated. Thank you-

    I can't speak for your machine, but the MacBook Air 11 '' works with a lithium battery much smaller than, say a 13 "MacBook Pro. Losing 30% of the load over several weeks is in the normal range.

    Useful tips? I think you're doing everything right. I guess you power off your machine before unplugging; I saythat as some users choose to sleep their machines rather than turn it off.

  • 15 - f010dx: Notebook is less than 2 months old and now won't turn on.

    I have a HP Pavilion 15-f010dx it's a little less than 2 months and is rarely used for light work. This morning I went to for use and the computer has been insensitive. I held the power button down and run to make sure that the computer was not "slow" mode. There is no display on the screen, "Wifi (airplane mode)" button was lit in orange colour and the 'Caps Lock' button was blinking. I assumed that the battery needs to death during the night, so I plugged the AC adapter and let it charge for two hours before trying to see if things would turn out. I tried on and I saw the same lights come on in the same way that I used the additional observation that I na could not pay attention the first time hear the computer will start and then stop Turing, this action repeated for quite some time, all while the lights stay on. I removed the battery from the computer and unplug the power cord I pressed the power button and held it for a minute or two, I plugged the cord back and the computer has been insensitive to this action. I have replace the battery and tried to turn it on again and I went through the same thing. The lights for the 'WiFi' would be on, key Caps Lock flashing and I hear the system starts for a few seconds and then off. I'm not sure what could cause this problem and I'd love to help, try to understand this.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Priv charging protocol - at any time less than 100%?

    Hard to keep up with all this new technology, but don't harm the Priv battery life or the ability to hold a charge if I continue to load when it is less than 100% - say 50% or 60% (instead of complete emptying) and then unplug when 100%?

    My battery has currently autonomy - easily all day with systematic emails, occasional internet with videos associated with Twitter or the Internet.  However, I want to make sure that the battery life and the ability to hold a charge remains strong - as much as we can't easily exchange to watch the Z10.

  • How to return the highest value in a column of numbers less than a given number

    I am a beginner using formulas in number.  I have an inventory in a Numbers spreadsheet (v3.6.2).  Inventory numbers are in a column.  I need to view the last number used or the highest number less than a given value.  In my case, it is 9000.

    I can put a cell to return MAX and it's cool, but I need to know the number < 9000, MAX.

    Hi JS.

    SEARCH is your friend here. One of the properties of the LOOKUP function is that it accepts a 'close-match', which is defined as the largest value less than or equal to the search value.

    Formulas:

    A2: LOOKUP (8999.9999999, D)

    B2: LOOKUP(9000,D)

    C2: MAX (D)
