New NB520 - low battery life

Hi all

Wonder if anyone would be able to help me with this. I recently bought a NB520. Its been less than a month but I already have problems with my battery. Batt life when it is not plugged in is really low (1 to 2 hours maximum), and I get a message inviting me to replace my battery. Find it really weird for a machine that is new. Any ideas guys?

Cheers, new user NB.

Hello

I recommend to calibrate the battery first.

The battery must be completely unloaded, then charge the battery until the battery led turn to green/blue. Then unplug the power plug and discharge the dough once more

This procedure should be repeated several times.

In addition, I recommend changing the settings for the central management unit for Win 7.

Activate and set certain powers of paste options for individual devices of economy that helps extend the battery work!

    My brand new z10 was meet some battery problems as I received it. The phone is only 4 hours old, and battery controller shows only 3 hours to 90%. Does anyone else have this problem and if so know how to fix? The unit would be defective?

    This is data synchronization, you set up the device, etc., and that "left 3 hours" is from the immediate moment, while your device is under a heavy load on the processor.

    You can not judge or accurately measure the battery life in the first 48 hours of putting in place a new mechanism, or after loading or upgrade a new OS.

  • Toshiba EXTREMELY low battery life

    Hello, I own a Toshiba Satellite L300, and when the battery is out of the adapter AC at 100% it's 20 minutes.

    Please help me solve this problem.

    His percentage is reduced by 1% every 10-12 seconds.

    Only advice for you are: buy the new battery.

  • Low battery life

    Does anyone know how to extend the battery on an iPhone 6 between charges? Lately, I get only 6 to8 hours between full charges! An application or a program is always on, such as the screen comes to life every so often. It seems I have had this problem since I updated the IOS, but this could be a coincidence, because I played with a lot of settings then to familiarize themselves with the new features. I don't necessarily want to go back to the default values, so I want to know how do I know which is constantly draining the battery.

  • Satellite C660-1LTD - low battery life - only 3 h

    My laptop runs about three hours when it is not plugged.

    -The normal, cos it seems low?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    3 hours are ok I mean the battery working time depends on the use of the laptop and well, it varies.
    If you want to extend the battery work, I recommend to decrease the brightness of the display and modification of some parameters of the power of Windows 7 at welcoming level option battery.
    For example, the CPU, cooling modules and GPU performance can be reduced for longer battery working time.

  • Phone and blackBerry Smartphones Low battery life goes off

    I just downloaded the new software for device for my Curve 8300 (v 4.5.0.110) and now my battery lasts only a few hours and if I'm on the phone for more than 7 or 8 minutes its starts buzzing (such as static) then the phone just stops. Is there a patch or do I uninstall it and go back to my old software. My provider is ATT

    You have the most recent of ATT, which is quite old already regarding the release builds.

    The one I linked to is from another carrier, and if you follow this link, you will be fine. Always make a backup of your BlackBerry device in the first place, using the Desktop Manager.

    Anyway,.110 release wasn't a draining battery, you use probably a few apps in the background this need to fence.

    To do this: with the BlackBerry device powered on, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    Now load the device completely to 100% and keep an eye on the drain of the battery over the next day.

    Try this:

    Unplug the computer from the power adapter and turn it on. Let the computer battery power until the computer turns off, indicating that the battery is fully discharged.

  • backlight always stays on-> low battery life

    I got my sansa fuze 8 GB Silver for perhaps a year.  The battery never lasted more than 3 hours.   It wasn't a huge deal, but now I'm wanting to last longer.  I realized that the backlight is always on, no matter what I put for the backlight settings.   I have reset to factory settings. I've updated the latest firmware.   Always, always, the backlight is always on my rocket drive, and the display switches between the current song with music bars and the cover of the album.

    Any ideas that I can do to solve this problem, so my battery last longer?

  • 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:

  • New Satellite L850-142 - very short battery life!

    Hello world!

    Yesterday I bought my new laptop and put it to charge right away all night without using it.
    Today, when I am on, within 15-20 minutes, the battery life is down to 89%.

    My question is, is this normal autonomy?

    I already address energy conservation, brightness etc. so as not to lose the life of the battery.
    It is my first laptop, so can someone please advise me?

    Thank you!

    10% for 20 minutes, for me, is OK. I imagine that you will be able to use your laptop up to 2 hours of battery power. Of course, it depends on the parameters of energy and the way how do you use it.

    Don t worry everything and not simply continue to test your new piece of hardware.

  • Qosmio G10: Low battery - off after 20 min work life

    Hi, I have a G10 for 1.5 years. Last week, the battery 'stops' after about 20 minutes of work. The one second it shows 88 percent and the second second is completely and you need to plug in the adapter again.

    No idea what's wrong here? A battery may indeed be dead like this and so sudden?

    Two related questions:
    -J' still have the laptop in standby mode. I guess that can affect the performance of the battery, correct?
    -Since I was the battery, I was always able to work approximately 1 to 1.5 hours on battery (normal internet navigation stuff). I always thought that this is normal given the notebook power. Today, I met someone who had a notebook of power simlar (other brands) but was able to work 5 hours! So, what is normal for a G10?

    Thank you

    [Edited by: admin]

    Hello

    For me, this looks like a malfunction of the battery.
    I read somewhere on the net that battery life will be reduced after 500 time of loading/unloading procedures.
    In addition it of important how you manage the battery. Generally, the battery must be freed and then you can charge the battery again.
    It would be a process of optimum loading.

    I have always the battery if I work with the main power supply. This should not be necessary with a new generation of batteries and laptops but I do this and my battery performance even more.

    You wrote something on the use of cell phone only 5 hours on battery.
    Unfortunately, but I don t think that. Of course, there are different batteries (9-cell, 12 cells, etc.) supporting better performance, but I put t think it's possible to use the powerful laptop with battery for 5 hours. The G10 uses a 2 hard drives, powerful graphics card, 16:10 display (TruBrite). Sorry, but all this characteristics need power.

    However, in my opinion, you must replace the battery. Visit the accessories options 7 Toshiba for batteries compatible and very powerful

  • Low battery T430s life?

    Hey everybody,

    I opened my new Thinkpad T430s return on 4 January and have done the research/fact of many attempts to try to maximize my battery life, but still, I can manage only barely 2.5 hours on parameters very, very cautious. ... Is this normal? I sure hope not. My specs are:

    OS: Windows 8 64

    HARD DRIVE 320 GB

    1440 x 900 HD + screen

    Intel Core i5 3320 M

    NVIDIA NVS (optimus?) 5200 m Graphics (1 GB of video ram)

    Intel HD graphics integrated 4000

    Machine model 2352CTO

    Do I have a bad battery, or it is more plausible that my computer is down? My battery is a Sanyo FRU 45N1037. I'll admit that I got my bios for "only integrated graphics" as a.) I don't know how and don't want to screw up my computer and b later.) I thought what to see in Windows 8,'s done it for you automatically. Pu on a jury I've seen this option when you scroll a little back of certain parameters of the system.

    Clearly, with only 2.5 autonomy MAXIMUM, with a battery 6-cell, ultra-conservative settings, battery stretch activated, etc., something must be faulty, such as the battery. Right?

    This could be the case if you're running Windows 8 with nvidia optimus works.

    Go into the bios of T430s and under the integrated Intel GPU graphic switch and see what happens.

    Win 8, my T430s with i7 + Integrated GPU became just about 2.5 hours of battery life, which is very short.

  • On a new laptop battery life is less than 5 minutes; says it's fully charged

    I bought a Clevo M72S/M721S Mini laptop, a year ago. When I bought it, it had about 10 minutes of battery life. Now, it lasts 5 minutes without the AC is plugged in. When it is plugged in, however, it is said that the battery is charging and is 100%. I don't know if it's a dead battery, a battery life vulnerability in XP, a bad connection or something else. I've never used this thing only on batteries, with the exception of battery life tests. Help, please!

    Critics of this mini are not too abundant, but I found a couple for the re-brand model, and the life of the battery when new, was, on average, about 75 to 90 minutes. Since you never more than 10 minutes BL, and it seems to work fine on AC, my guess would be a bad battery from the beginning. Too bad it's probably out of warranty, but you can try to contact them in any case to see if there is perhaps a battery recall.

    You could try to calibrate the battery. Read this article and see whether or not you want to try it:
