NB500 battery life

Hey guys, I recently bought a new NB500 netbook after doing some research. Good price and good little unit.

The only question seems to be the life of the battery. I read constantly about how netbooks have rgeat autonomy and supposedly the NB500 is no exception. However, after putting in place and get the updates etc, I unplugged to see how it would go without power.

Surprisingly, the best I could get 3 hours in Eco mode. Balanced, it is a little less than 2 hours. I could watch him literally check low 100% right on the office without any heavy process of all, has let alone internet browing or work.

And that's what bothers me little. On all kinds of tests and examinations, they make screen full brightness video playing full test and get like 5 + hours, but for me just sitting there on the minimum brightness running absolutely nothing, maybe I can get three hours?

Is there something that I miss to this battery, because this is a key reason why I bought the machine. Any help would be great!

Which is really strange.
A few days ago, I read thread on NB550D under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=233198 and was surprised when guys with user name kLay reported about 11 hours of battery life.

I recommend you to work on the AC adapter / CC only all day and then try it again.

    Someone else has problems with how long does the battery last? I just bought mine yesterday and the battery life is very short. I am very disappointed. He had a full charge to 01:00 and I put it and when I woke up at 7:30, it was like 26%.

    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.

  • Is it true that only charge your iphone at 100% can shorten its battery life?

    Because some say it may decrease the battery life if you always or often recharge your iphone to 100%. They said that it is better not to load it 100%, and some have said it's ok to charge your phone to 100%.

    your phone/ipad/computer laptop/ipod is designed to be loaded until it reaches capacity. That's what it is designed by engineers. Then no. Tell the 'they' who says 'it is better do not reach' 04:20 occurs only twice a day and they have to keep it up to two times per day to book all the cells of the brain are left in hiding.

  • 5s short battery life iPhone, phone like new 6 months.

    I bought my iPhone about 6 months ago. I have problems with the battery life. I plug all night. Unplug in the morning and about 4 hours he spends 100% to 40%, even without me using the telephone. I thought to buy a new battery from Amazon and change myself. I found videos on YouTube showing how do, and it seems very easy to do. Someone out there chaned their own battery before? Was it easy to do? And your phone has worked for you once you have changed your battery yourself?

    Just thought I ask. I am one of these people if it's something I can do for my part, I do. Does anyone has an entry on the situation before I try this on my own?

    Hello

    The battery on the iPhone is not replaceable by the user. The battery - if that is the real problem - is covered by the limited warranty of one year of Apple.  If the iPhone is out of warranty, Apple also offers a service of the battery. The cost for this varies across countries (currently $79 in the United States, for example).

    However, as a first step, I suggest that you try to solve the problem of life battery. You can, for example, to consider measures such as:

    If the problem persists, I suggest you contact Apple technical support or make a Genius Bar reservation for assistance in identifying / confirming the issue and, if necessary, to set up your service from the available battery options, time and cost.

    To check your warranty status:

  • 9.3.3 iOS seems to hit the battery life

    On our iPads, battery life seems to have taken a severe blow after installing 9.3.3. For example, one was at 97 percent before bedtime and 3 percent the next morning with the "battery" showing that "home and lock screen" as the culprits. Is this common?

    No it's not. I suggest that you reset the unit by keeping the power and Home keys pressed until the Apple logo.

  • 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.

    * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  • MacBook battery life

    I just bought my macbook two weeks ago and at first, the battery life display 10 hours of use but after I have updated to OS X EL Capitan, it seems that the battery life has become much shorter than 5 hours of use. I set the brightness to save battery, but the battery consumption is always the same. Is it normal to be like this or what should I do to save the battery. If anyone knows how I should improve my macbook battery, it will be very good to know that for the most part, I need to travel and need more autonomy.

    Open the activity monitor (in the Utilities folder). Click the CPU tab and click the column heading of time CPU. All items showing a very high number?

  • Short load cycles affect the battery life?

    Hello world

    2 weeks ago, I bought a car with Apple Carplay. Before, I was charging my iPhone 6 more at night, have it completely recharged when I wake.

    Then, since I plug it to my car to use Carplay everytime I go somewhere, the battery has multiple short consecutive charges along the day. I was wondering if this kind of accusations could affect my battery life in the wrong direction? Does my battery prematurely die compared to 'normal' load cycles every night

    Thanks for your replies.

    No, many short sessions of loading will not harm your battery. At the risk of anthropomorphism, lithium-ion batteries "prefer" kept topped up.
