• If I do not charge my laptop right when I get it, is what destroyed the battery?

  My friend had recently got a new MacBook Pro (early 2015) 13 "and it does not load right when he got: but rather let die down and then accused, but he now tells me that it has damaged its battery when I don't see much of a difference compared to my computer. (MacBook Air 11 '' beginning 2015) I found it went down by 1% every 5 minutes and go down 1% every 6 minutes. It would be great if someone could tell me if it's just a myth that I shouldn't trust or if he really did something wrong, and what to do about it. Thank you.

  Depleting layer completely the charge and recharge to full load, is what is called the battery calibration.

  New type of batteries installed in new models of Mac Laptops don't need calibration.

  Impoverishing the layer one or twice the charge wouldn't harm to the battery.

  But please do not repeat this.

  Depleting the load completely can have an effect on the battery life.

  There may be other reasons why the Mac has the problem you describe.

• Use of AC when the battery is at 100%? (S7-391)

  Hello world!

  I have been affected by the worst support from Acer, I have no problem with the ultrabook himself (Acer Aspire S7-391) but I have some doubts about pilots and other things, that they have avoided answering many ways. So, here's the thing:

  This ultrabook has all drivers that could be use the AC power when the battery charge reaches 100% to avoid tampering with the battery?

  The thing is that while I have 100% of the battery and the ultrabook is connected to the power adapter, it always seems to be draining the battery power and recharging it back to being 100% all the time.

  When I ask about the drivers, who might or might not be installed, I just need to find a way to access this functionality if possible, and if I can't, I need to know as soon as POSSIBLE so that I can start unplug the laptop right after that the battery has reached 100%.

  Thanks in advance.

  As you said with Connector 2 power pins can also disconnect the battery charge. It can disconnect the power supply from the battery charging circuit when the battery reaches a particular % with the laptop running load in power cables. I do not think that your computers support portable setting the level of charge of battery to a % custom. Your laptop must have a particular hardware and BIOS that supports. In some laptops, the BIOS has the ability to define a particular % of battery charge. I read somewhere that windows 8 do not support this feature, old version of windows (Vista) support this feature.

  Some write up I found online to help you.

  Memory effect

  First of all, it is necessary to unfold a myth that persists in the minds of many people.

  The effect of stack memory.

  In the basis of lithium batteries, it is in fact a myth, it applies only to the old nickel-based batteries. Therefore fully discharge and recharge the battery are completely useless and even harmful as discussed below.

  The modern lithium battery can be charged independently of its current percentage, because he has absolutely no negative effect in his performances.

  Should I remove the battery when the a/c is connected?

  Many users of portable computers have this question and we will answer it right now:

  The answer is: YES and NO, it depends on the situation.

  Have a fully charged battery and the laptop is connected is not harmful, because as soon as the load level of 100% of the battery stops receiving the energy load and this energy is shorted directly on the power of the laptop system.

  However, there is a downside to keep the battery in the holder when the laptop is plugged in, but only if he currently suffers from excessive warming caused by the hardware of the laptop.

  So:

  -In normal use, if the laptop does not get too hot (CPU and hard drive around 40 ° c to 50 ° c) the battery must remain into the Jack of the laptop;

  -Intensive use, which leads to a large amount of heat produced (i.e. games, temperatures over 60 ° c) the battery should be removed the socket in order to avoid unwanted heating.

  The heat between the fact that he has 100% load, is the great enemy of the lithium battery and not the plug, as many might think so.

  Battery discharging

  Full battery discharges (until the computer laptop power shutdown, 0%) should be avoided, because he insists a lot on the battery and may even damage it. It is recommended to perform partial discharge to levels of capacity of 20 ~ 30% and frequent accusations, instead of performing a complete discharge followed for a full charge.

  Laptop PC battery contain a gauge of capacity that allows us to know the exact amount of stored energy. However, due to the charge/discharge cycles, this sensor tends to be inaccurate overtime.

  Some laptops include in their BIOS, tools to recalibrate the battery meter, which is nothing else than a full discharge followed by a charge complete.

  So to calibrate the gauge, it is desirable, in all cycles 30 discharge, a full uninterrupted discharge, followed by a too, non-stop, full charge.

  An inaccurate gauge may have to the fact that the capacity of the battery are values are false. The battery can report that he still has 10% of capacity, when in fact it has a much lower value, and this causes the computer to the unexpected shutdown.

  Cycles of discharge (or charge) are to use this charge battery (100%), but not necessarily all at once.

  For example, you can use the laptop for a few minutes in a day, using half of its e ability then it load completely. If you did the same thing the next day, it can be considered a discharge cycle, not two, so it may take several days before finishing a complete discharge cycle.

• BlackBerry Smartphones BB Bold 9930 cannot find the battery under device options saving Mode

  I have a BB Bold 9930 with OS v7.1.0.163 and I can't find the battery under device options saving Mode. I was told that I needed to update my device to a newer version, after around .3xx software do not know that. But when I try to update my device through BlackBerry Web page software or Office Manager, they both tell me that my device software is up-to-date. How can I update my device software to a newer version on OS 7.1?

  OK, I thought that you must have some higher than 7.1.0.342 BONES to get the battery in watch mode on your output device. Apparently Viva has not published a more recent OS you already have.

  Operating system device provided are "released" by specific carriers once that they are certified and trained to their support technicians, but still, you are able to load any carrier the same model by following the instructions below.

  See the link below to download it and follow these simple instructions.

  Make a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > backup. Close the office at the end Manager.

  1. download the OS files to the PC then install on the PC by running (double click) the downloaded file.

  2. go in c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
  3. plug in the BB and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

  Note: Some users may be concerned they will void their warranty of device by loading an OS from another carrier. There is really nothing to fear. Please read more information about it here: http://www.port3101.org/power-users/296-blackberry-os-upgrade-including-betas-myths-dispelled.html

• Life of the battery in cold weather

  Hello, today I had the opportunity to work outside for about an hour in New York, where the temperature was below zero, later in the day, I noticed that the battery level was at 20%, normally for me with my moderate 9 hours in the day use I to 60-70% left, so the question is cold weather can degrade the battery times this much? Thanks in advance and happy holidays!

  When the batteries are cold, they will accept a deep load (read cooler). At the same time, they will accept the charge at a slower pace. When the batteries are warm, they will more quickly but accept lower fees. Ideally, the battery should be cooler and charge any longer. Cool, not cold.

  Smart Chargers manage the current going on expensive Chargers and batteries and very effective, the battery temperature is monitored and the charge rate and current goes into the battery is managed for optimal performance. It is not that much inteliigence in this small charger for the Droid.  Look at the charger for a very large capacity batteries used in the industry and you would be amazed to see how they work and manage the charge cycle.

  You could go crazy trying to manage the load on the Droid but just follow a few simple rules and you will get the best performance:

  Whenever you are near a charger, charge it.

  Do not move the battery completely down. If so, recharge as soon as possible. If it is only a minimal cost after that, you probably need a new battery, you won't be able to 'condition' it. It is a myth.

  Don't let a flat battery in the droid for awhile.

  Don't let the battery really cold or hot. I want to talk about the extremes. If you are comfortable, so is the Droid and its battery.

  Break the battery with a hammer = risk your life. No joke. Same thing with ardour. Warning labels are for real.

  When you buy a new battery, no matter what anyone tells you, load first. After that, wait less performance optimal for a week or two.

  For what makes the Droid, they put a very low capacity of the battery in it. It has less capacity than many other smartphones.

• The use of the battery has increased since the update to ios 10. Also, why can not disable the voice command. It's the most boring on the new update.

  The use of the battery has increased since the update to ios 10. Also, why can not disable the voice command. It's the most boring on the new update.

  Depending on what you mean by "voice command", either:

  Settings / general / accessibility / VoiceOver / OFF, or

  Settings / Siri / OFF

  As for your use of the battery, you can check what app pulls most of its use in the settings / battery.  A new version of the app is sometimes problematic, not necessarily iOS or iPhone.  If you see a unusual % of use of a particular application, or force-to leave it removal/reinstalling it or remove it until an update comes.  If anything seems unusual, it might be a problematic installation of iOS, in which case, you could backup your iPhone and restore it:

• The battery: Cycle Count

  I recently bought a new macbook pro 13 inch (my first macbook never) and decided to read a little about the life of the battery.

  To my surprise, I realize that my cycle was 7!

  (Note: I only bought the macbook for about 4 days and charged for 3 - 4 times)

  And according to the sites, cycle counts only account all costs 100% (fresh short accumulation).

  In addition, my battery life estimated at 05:10 hours at 92%, but jumped to 08:40 hours to 84%.

  Should I be worried?

  I read that you can actually leave your macbook to charge overnight, but do you do with the power supply on or off?

  What is the best way to charge your macbook?

  If you are not satisfied with this experience, please return it and get another.

  You can return a Mac within 14 days of the purchase.

• "No cell coverage" not listed in the use of the battery

  During the audit of the use of the battery parameters, on an iPad 2 Air, WiFi and cellular, upgrade 10.0.2, 'No cell coverage' is listed and uses a lot of battery percentage. This never happened since the purchase of the iPad two years ago. I've recently updated to iOS 10.0.2 and T-Mobile as the cellular carrier. This occurs when the two Wi - Fi AND cellular data are turned off. I barely use the cell service as it is, first of all just use wifi, and I never leave the cellular data connection on when you do not. I noticed a few days ago a T-Mobile "Carrier Update" has been pushed to the iPad. Someone else with the same situation?

  Hi there, stumped127! Thank you for using communities of support from Apple!

  Use of your iPad 2 Air indicates that it is looking for service even if you have data Wi - Fi and cell phone turned off after update to iOS 10.0.2. Given that mobile data is off, it shouldn't have an impact on the battery and I will be happy to help you with this. Be sure to test after each numbered step.

  How to back up your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch --before troubleshooting a device, I always recommend a fresh backup. It is preferable "to have" one to the 'need' to a backup.

  1. forcing a nearby app on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - first, quit all running applications, and then restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - never underestimate the power of a good restart.

  2. reset the iPad settings - do not forget to write your networks, Wi-Fi/passwords before you start. On your iPad, go to settings > general > reset > reset all settings. This step returns your iPad to factory default settings. Test and if that solves the problem, use your backup to restore your settings.

  Take care!

• External display on HDMI overheating my Mac and drains the battery badly

  Hey guys.

  I am using a MBP retina 2012 15 inches with an external monitor, a generic LCD 1080 p via HDMI without problems. And recently updated for Sierra.

  The question starts immediately when I plug it into the screen. The Macbook seems to overheat and run fans above 4000 rpm, which is very audible and boring. CPU and GPU temperatures go above 70 degrees C (normally they make 50 +). The battery holds for only 1.5 hours, generally works well for 4-5 hours.
  I tried killing all apps, followed a bad process in activity monitor, changing default resolution - nothing helps so far. The CPU is barely used by 10%, the memory pressure is fine.
  It's just that time when I plug the screen - Mac starts bad feeling. Never, the problem occurred on El Capitan. Maybe it's a GPU problem, but certainly caused by the OS.
  All the world had the same problem?

  Try resetting the NVRAM (hold down the command-option-P-R on startup).

  Also, try to restart in Mode without failure, then normally again.

  Finally, try logging into your account, sign in to a user account (or the guest account) and connect the external display. Same problem? If it works fine for a new account then it's something in your own account which is the cause - perhaps an element of connection or some other system changes induced by the operating system previous and who does not play nice with Sierra.

• keyboard Bluetooth iPad Air drains the battery

  I have an Ipad Air and when I connected it to a bluetooth keyboard, the battery very quickly becomes empty and even is he is plugged in and the charge of the day to the next, it does not load.  The use of the battery is the home screen containing all resources. The minute I turned off the keyboard or disconnect it from the iPad, the use of the battery is normal.

  It is a new show, I never used to have this problem and I don't have this problem with my other iPad.  Anyone know why it is and know what to do to fix?

  Hello. You could try to forget the keyboard in settings > Bluetooth, then he pairing. Looks like it may not be connected entirely and causing a lot of additional radio traffic.
