    Hello

    Battery life varies depending on use and other factors.

    During tests, for example, Apple has reached 18 hours of battery life with the next use: 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of usage of the app and a workout of 30 minutes with Apple Watch Bluetooth music playback. Other examples of the life of the battery when using different are available here:

    If your watch is shorter battery life than would suggest examples of Apple that you should expect, try the following steps, which have helped to solve the problems of the battery life for some users:

    • If you have ever used the soft training and/or any third party fitness tracking workouts Records (for example, Strava) apps on your watch, check on your watch to see if there is currently activity paused in the any of these applications. If there is, put an end to this activity of this application on your watch (not on your iPhone).
    • Under earlier versions of the software, some users have reported problems with battery life in the framework using profiles and/or Exchange calendars. If you use an Exchange calendar, can help to one or more of the following:
      • Check your Exchange calendar for all items before today.
      • Delete / delete all old messages related to the prompt calendar Inbox (accept and refuse notifications).
      • Create a rule in your email account Outlook moves future all accept and reject responses as they are received, in a separate e-mail folder that will not sync with your iPhone and Apple Watch.
      • Consult your Exchange calendar to find errors.
    • Finally, it can help to remove all third-party applications on your watch and then monitor the performance of the battery after you have added back, one at a time. It is the same regarding complications of watch face.

    After trying the above steps, if your watch continues discover much shorter battery life than suggest examples of Apple you should expect, contact Apple support (mail service may be available) or make a Genius Bar reservation in order to have your watch checked, if recommended by Apple (warranty, if it qualifies):

  • The battery lasts only 5.5 hours - possible they sent incorrect battery?

    So I like my laptop, it's great, but I think the battery is much less than advertised. I used it today to see how long it lasts on battery and it was announced about 5.5 hours instead of 15 hours.

    I have the T430 with discrete graphics, but I think that it remains inactive unless I do something intense. Basically, I'm just looking internet, chat, Twitter. I had like 15-20 tabs open however.

    If it's important, I upgraded to 256 GB SSD, 16 GB of RAM and a 7200 RPM drive HARD UltraBay.

    Is it possible that I was sent to the battery 6 cells instead of 9 cells? How can I check?

    Hi sens_adnan,

    If you delete ther battery, on the left hand side is the lenovo logo.

    Below is the part # for your battery.

    If the part # is: 45N1007, then your battery has 6 cells

  • Satellite Pro L20: Battery lasts only 30 minutes.

    This problem has persisted throughout the four months, I've owned and used this notebook: when the battery has been recharged and I try to work on battery power only, the battery reading usually indicates 82% min 27' and, as you would expect, runs right now.

    I've seen similar problems reported on this forum, but none with such a capacity of battery runs.

    In case this isn't a bad battery, is it possible that I use a lot of battery power without realizing?

    Hello

    As far as I know that the Toshiba power saver is not installed on the Sat Pro L20.
    The power of Microsoft options windows is responsible for the State of battery power.
    However, have you tried to update the BIOS on this laptop? If this isn't the case, in order to check it out.
    Visit the Toshiba page and check that you have installed the version of BIOS with BIOS available on the site.

    But it is also possible that the battery has a malfunction because it s unusual that the laptop will run only 27 minutes on battery.

  • BlackBerry Q10 Q!) hot and current battery dieng after aboiut 4 hours after the update of 10.3.1.1779

    I read a lot of posts on the forum (thanks), but nothing yet BlackBerry on the way to solve this problem. As a new user of Blackberry (back to BB after many years), I struggle with all the different advice given. Is there a definitive right answer yet as to how to solve this problem? In other words, how stop the Android player to run continuously and consume the battery life? All the most popular boards. I don't really want to wipe my phone and start all over again if there is another way. However, my phone of Q10 is uesless with this problem.

    No I do not have downlaoed all the Android files. At the end of the day, I consulted the disc of the Q10 and removed the android files. Then powered market and this seemed to solve the problem. Also, since the Blackberry has updated the operating system at 10.3.2.2474 and so far, this version does not seem the same have heating and remove the battery problem.

    Hallelujah!

  • Sansa View not recharge, but the battery becomes hot, no blue ring

    I just bought a Sansa View, my first MP3 player. It did not really work just yet, I've had a week now. The battery life is very short.

    What I can't understand is this evening when I plugged it in to recharge, it will not respond with the blue ring and the battery/back of the appliance becomes hot.

    The laptop USB or the wall socket taken USB now works. He's dead and not answering anything either (but not hot to the touch).

    Jiggling the plug does not help. It is a problem of dealbreaker.

    I will exchange it tomorrow unless someone has a bright idea!

    something is certainly wrong internally, battery and wiring autour seems likely. Get it not traded, that's exactly what you need to do and someone must relay this sandisk problem, because if it is a fault of power, then thers probably more then a player with the potential to make this happen.

    Depends on heat, it gets. It is normal that some video games place a demand on the CPU and GPU, so you can keep track of the temperature. A good and free app for this is temperature monitor.

  • Early MacBook Pro - battery (old and new) lasts only 45 min

    Early macbook pro 13 "

    -Autonomy had become terrible, about 30 mins web browsing, the warning came on she was less than 80%, or whatever the threshold is battery.  To obtain the life expectancy of 6 to 8 hours.  I have owned since new, no spills or drops.  Its duty cycle is 8 hours on a charger, then 3-4 hours on battery every day of the week and another 2-3 hours on battery power the weekend followed by a full charge.

    -New battery installed 2 months ago was better than the nominal capacity, coconut reports 6109 mah capacity

    -New battery lasts about 45 min to 0% before web browsing and stops without warning or sleep.

    -Reset each possible controller, SMC, PRAM, etc.  No change.

    -Ran, he died 3 or 4 times and then fully charged hoping that it would be to calibrate itself, no chance.

    -Inspect the process etc. but the CPU usage is very low, only thing of note is because I'm on 10.6.8 the standard memory leak safari is still there, so must be restarted regularly, javascript is disabled.  Firefox takes about the same amount of time browsing and has a blocker javscript.  I have not installed flash.

    -Battery coco brings about 10 watts of power use while the battery is drained.  A quick calculation shows 5000 + mah used in 35 minutes isn't 10 watts so obviously, coconut is not reporting correctly.

    -Refill after low drain lasts about the same as usual, about 2 hours if I use the machine, an hour or so if his asleep.  Lived a few Chargers because of pines stick and blend.

    -The only other issue I noticed is from time to time with an external monitor connected so that the navigation in safari with Javascript, if you press some ads, the two screens in the black for a second and the computer screen will resume blurred with colors and lines, while the external display is fine. An error is recorded on the console (don't remember what it is) and then the screen is scrambled feeding, recorded increases of the coconut and the machine gets hot.  Nothing is noted in the activity monitor.  Safari shut down, sleep and wake the machine clears the display problem.  By disabling javascript, this problem is not triggered.

    -My next step is to replace the charge Jack / ongoing in the Council, but I cannot find examples of this help other people.  Its pretty cheap but.

    D ' other ideas?

  • Re: Satellite 1410/2410 battery lasts less delayed

    Hi all

    in case of failure of electricity - an incident standard these days of high temperatures and a/c worked as crazy - battery of my Satellite only lasts for about 2 hours, what is indicated, although it seems completely charged (green led).

    Shortly, after that the laptop goes into battery mode, I get a warning message that within 4-5 minutes the computer will enter Stand mode for the next 2 hours, which is not good at all because I can't work!

    So, what happens? If I can't work at least 1-1, 5 hours on battery, do I need a laptop?

    Thank you for your time... and I welcome all responses, I hope you'll come with some good ideas, because this problem bother me all summer...

    May I ask how old your laptop s has?

    To my knowledge the old batteries discharge more quickly and after a long period of use, the battery will discharge.
    This is nothing unusual and to be honest it s only a matter of time when it should be a replacement of the battery.

    I have some mobile home and one of them is about 6 years old.
    The battery no longer works. I can run the laptop is longer than 2 minutes using the battery.
    I didn t he replace because the laptop is still connected to the power adapter. If a replacement is not necessary for me.

    I think you have the same problem of battery and only a new battery could solve this problem.

    Good bye

  • How long should the battery last in a Satellite A300D

    Can someone let me know how long my battery should last a Satellite A300D?
    It has been in my possession the two days of the new?

    Hello

    First of all, you know that a lifetime battery changing and depends on the use of the laptop.
    So, if you scale DVD or / and game play the battery needed to dump a lot faster than the execution of some common applications like Word, IE, etc.

    In addition, there are different batteries with different specifications, as the battery 6 cells needed to dump as soon as a battery 9 cells.
    That is why it s is not easy to say how long a battery should last, but usually you can use the laptop with battery for about 1.5 hours

  • a macbook pro with retina display becomes hot when in use?

    A macbook pro with retina display becomes hot when in use?

    Yes.  All of the skin of the MBP is part of the evacuation of heat, not only the arriere-charniere event.  That's why running the MBP on a hard flat surface is better, so the room air can cool down all surfaces.  He put on a hidden or your knees when running may block exposure to air.

    High intensity running video uses graphics and CPU harder, needing cooling.
