new S205 - battery charging

I just buy an Ideapad S205.  The main power plugged into the battery icon continues to show 50% available, (plugged in, does not support).  Is this good?

Must charge the battery while the computer is running?

Any help/advice appreciated

Thank you

Click on start-> all programs-> Lenovo-> management energy-> power management options.

Start the program.  Look at the summary at the top.  Does say 'Best battery health' beside the blue gear icon?  If so, you will thus limit the load on your S205 50% (but your battery will last longer... overall autonomy, that is).

If you want to change it, choose the speed at the bottom right, and when the menu appears, select "Optimize for the duration of the battery."  This will allow for your battery charges to 100% full (but your battery life will be shorter).

  • IdeaPad S205 battery charge no problem

    Hello, I have a Lenovo IdeaPad S205 and met with some difficulties. The charger has recently stopped working and I bought a replacement - the original charger has a 20V power, whereas the replacement 19V power. However, I don't think it would make a difference. That being said, when I plugged in the charger, it says "plugged in, not load." I took the battery and put it again, in as I had a similar problem before, and making it fixed. The system remained on while the battery was out, and I noticed the battery percentage is not down while this replacement is plugged. In addition, the original now seems to do the same thing - "plugged in, not load." Can anyone offer any assistance?

    Hi Ben_R,

    It's weird. Can try you to:

    1 turn on the computer with just the AC adapter and loading Windows to the top, slide the battery and observe.

    2. turn off the machine with the inserted battery. When the machine is turned off, plug the AC adapter and see if the battery is charged.

  • Bought a new dell battery and still my laptop battery does not charge.

    Hello.

    I am using a Dell inspiron 1545 for about 3 years now and exactly after 2 years of my purchase, the battery has failed and it began to show me to replace the battery and always informed to contact me dell for a new battery.

    I took this to a lot of trouble, so I simply ignored the message and kept using my battery with my wired adapter. After 4-5 months of such uses, my battery has completely failed and does not give me even even a minute of backup, when I remove the power outlet. Then I realized the importance of a new battery and then bought a new battery from Dell.

    Its the same battery with the same features and also the same type family. After that I removed my faulty battery, I replaced my purchased new Dell battery and realized that my battery works fine. his load well, but at one point, it says "plugged in, but do not load" which is rare for a new battery, that is purchased new.

    This is what it looks like now once I removed the plug adapter and when I depend on the backup battery. It provides a backup, but I see a Mark exclamatory yellow next to her. Which I think should not be present. He also says "Low battery" when there are already some 99% battery left!

    I also followed a few steps online

    (1) update the BIOS for the last 2) followed by a few other steps such as uninstall the ACI battery in Device Manager and etc...

    I'd like to get this problem is solved. I use an adapter family PA-12, which is also replaced. So any help on resolving the issue would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hey maxim. I have actually FIXED this month back, problem. and I want exactly help on it so that you can fix it yourself too...

    the problem that is the creation of your battery to display an exclamatory mark is your power settings.

    then follow these steps to get rid of this sign and a battery to work perfectly.

    1) click the icon of your battery (left click), you should see an option called "Power Options more' at the bottom of the pop-up window.

    Click on 'more power Options.

    (2) now, you will be taken to your control panel where you can see all of your power plans and under each plan, you will see an option called "Change plan settings"

    3) click on "Change plan settings" for your active power plan. Now you will be redirected to another window of Control Panel, where you can see two types of power options to get adjusted. in other words, when you battery is connected and when your battery is disconnected.

    (4) do not touch these options, simply click on 'Change power avancΘs' at the bottom left of this window. THIS IS THE AREA WHERE WE HAVE TO FIX!

    (5) after that you click "Change advanced power settings", you will see a POWER options window, go down and then you can see what is called "Stack" with a sign to the left. until it clicks.

    (6) now, you just change the levels for the following values

    --> Critical battery level (you can change it to 10%)

    ---> Low battery (you can change it at 20%)

    Now once who did, YOU will BE No. LONGER SEE THE EXCLAMATIVE MARK on YOUR STACK!

    So I hope it works!

    Answer me when you've managed to fix.

  • Questions about the BIOS update and battery charge on Satellite M30 104

    Hey,.
    I try to update my BIOS, but it does not work because my battery won't charge any more, if a window always tells me that my battery is not enough. Yet, the reason why I'm updating my BIOS is that I read in a forum that might solve my problem of battery charging.
    I'm fairly certain that the battery is not the problem itself: I bought a new battery, it worked for 10 minutes once or twice, then again the load stop completely.
    If anyone knows what the problem is or how to update my BIOS, please...

    Hello Celia

    I am not a technician, but as far as I know, BIOS has nothing to do with charging the battery. In my opinion, there are some problems with e-procurement (electronic load). Sorry, but I imagine that you must contact the partner in your country.

    They have diagnostic tools and it can be verified. Please call and simply explain the situation.

    Good luck!

  • Second battery charge no more than 29% on Portege R200

    Hello

    I borrowed today from a friend (who has a Portege R100) its extra battery pack, model PA3155U-1BRL. Unfortunately, when I put it on my R200, it started to load, but stopped at 29% and does not load above this percentage. I also have another identical extra battery pack which I bought with my laptop and it loads and works very well, so it's not a computer problem for sure.

    I also tried to remove the battery main the Portege and do work only with the pack extra battery (faulty), but without success. Yet once again, the same problem occurred. 2nd battery charge indicator LED turns on for a minute or two and then turns off and the battery stops in charge, as I can also see the power management in windows, where the battery is shown as "On Line" when the laptop is plugged into the charger a/c and "Évacuation" when the laptop runs on the battery alone. In all cases, the battery is over 29%.

    Given that Li - ion batteries don't suffer no "memory effect", you have an idea of what is happening and how can I deal with it?

    Thank you much in advance.

    Hello

    Looks like a malfunction of the battery to the battery performance and life is limited
    After abut 500 times charge and discharge procedures the battery will discharge slowly performance.

    I think that you should simply replace the battery with a new and check if it helps to solve your problem!

  • The battery charge falls even when it is plugged into the satellite series

    I have a laptop satellite and although it recognizes the power adapter when it is connected and that the icon in the taskbar shows "load", the percentage of the battery charge seems down.

    It is only while the laptop is turned on, because it does not charge the battery when it is turned off.
    I didn't know that he used the power of the battery so that hip, so I'm puzzled by this not only why the battery doesn't seem to be in charge, but also why the battery seems to fall once the laptop doesn't have to use it anyway.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Hello

    I saw this problem on my own laptop in the past. even if the laptop is charging, the battery seems to fall in charge.

    This indicates that the battery life is coming to an end, there are a limited number of cycles of load for a battery before it dies.
    Also when you have the computer is off fresh is always lost at a considerable pace, because the battery is good, "die."

    You can't do anything on this issue except to buy a new replacement battery for your laptop computer to a repair center authorized Toshiba. This should answer your question.

  • HP 10 G2: Do not get the battery charge icon

    Just got a new Tablet 10 2 HP and tried to charge the battery for the first time. Online user manual deduces that the Tablet is not on to load. So, I'm not turn it on. The USB cable is connected with the Tablet off the coast.

    According to the user manual, when I plug in the USB cable I should get a small icon of recharge of the batteries in the upper right corner of the screen, but I did not. The screen remained black for nearly 30 seconds, and then a large battery icon displayed in the middle of the screen, indicating approximately 56% of the fees. This large battery icon remained on the screen for about 10 seconds and then the screen went black again. After a little experimentation, I discovered that I can get the large battery icon to display on the screen momentarily by briefly pressing the power button. When I type the swtich the large battery icon appears for about 10 seconds and it shows the current percentage of charge.

    It would be nice to get the small charging of the battery icon in the upper corner of the screen just to know that the Tablet is load... rather than having to hit the button on / off whenever I want to update load. Is it possible to get the low battery charge icon or is that determined by the version of Lollipop? My Tablet uses Lollipop 5.0.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

    Each Android HP Tablet I belong to, or borrowed (as part of their program of experts) has not lost any charge the battery by displaying an indication of charge "all the time".

    Looks like your tablet is behaving normally.  State of charge is displayed when you ask.

  • Problem of Satellite A200 - 28 p/battery charger

    Hello

    I had a power problem with my battery charger for a while sometimes it would charge when plugged in and others would not, so if I removed the charger to move the laptop it was a bet of 50 / 50 as to whether it would be instantly turn off or not.

    This was not too much a problem as the laptop is not moved too often, but I recently returned home to find my charger did not work at all and the cell phone was off.

    I managed to get hold of a replacement charger just to test it and I found that when it is plugged, flashing blue light which is usually strong watch the charger is plugged, and the times he has stayed solid and allowed me to boot up the laptop lasted almost a minute at best before shutting down completely not even enough time to get transfer important documents I have there.

    Is buying a new battery is going to fix this, or is the problem more likely to be something inside the laptop to be replaced?

    Hello

    I doubt that buy a new battery would solve your problem.
    Why?
    Because the laptop should also work correctly using only the AC adapter.
    So even if the battery is defective or dead, it should be possible to use the laptop connected to the network.

    The laptop has a number of other power resources, including a smart power battery clock real time and these resources are closely linked and one could affect apparent power problems.

    If the DC IN is blue, this means that the AC adapter is connected properly and the power supply correctly. If this is not the case, the adapter may be faulty or there is a problem with the electronic power supply on the motherboard.

    So in this case, the power adapter must be tested if you are sure that the adapter is working properly, then there must be a problem with the motherboard to 100%.
