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:

  • DV9000 laptop battery life

    I have a HP dv9000 series laptop for about 2 years and my battery is in poor condition.  It is typical of this battery life is only 2 years? Given that I keep my PC plugged in most of the time, he wears on the battery? I just want to know if I should buy a new battery or do I check to see if it is covered by the warranty.

    Thank you

    I'll save you the trouble. Even if you get the longer warranty the battery is covered with padt 1 year generally not unless you have obtained the guarantee of store on top of the HP warranty. 2 years isn't a bad battery life. That's all what I expect to get. Battery life is governed by the number of cycles of discharge and duration and charges since. If you take a battery that is new in the box, it will be lower after 2 years when new even if you do not use. If you literally never use the battery you can remove it during the execution of the laptop on the sector. He unloads up to like 30% and store it in a cool, dry and dark place (but not in the refrigerator).

  • New z5 battery life

    OK so "upgraded" to a Z2 Z5 weekend and I'm struggling with the battery life. I loaded this weekend and he gave me a life of 17hours. I've just loaded 100% now and it says 9 hours. It's far from 48 hours in the specifications.

    I returned to the store where I bought it and they asked me to keep it a week to see if it gets better. As a comparison I've loaded my old Z2 and new Z5 yesterday and to sleep with now apps that no bluetooth data etc to the Z2 only showed 97% while the Z5 declined by 83% it's not normal, it is. The store tested battery and say its ok ruinning.

    Is the battery so wrong?

    Well I did a live chat with someone from Sony yesterday and using the "repair phone" in PC Companion seems to have solved the transmitter battery had drained almost from one day to the next and even go down after bluetoothing to the car this morning. Up to 100% load fingers crossed now if.

    Have sen other topics concerning the battery life being poor after updates hoping so I don't have to keep doing this.

  • Samsung with windows 7 - extending laptop battery life

    Hi all

    I have Samsung R522 laptop with Windows 7. As susally I have been using it with the charger connected, Windows asked me to chrge battery only at 80% of capacity in order to improve the life of the battery.

    My question is how I could change it back so that battery would be charged to full 100%. Please help me. I'm trying to find answer to this issue for some time and no progress so far.

    Thanks for any help in advance

    The thing is that I can't charge more than 80%. When I keep the charger connected, it just stays at 80%. It shows 80% in the system and on the battery itself.

    I remember exactly this question, but I remember that I had to agree by choosing Yes Yes/no alternative. It's really crazy: P

    Thank you

    This is the option in the BIOS, called "dough-Extension of Life Cycle. If set to on, then the battery is charged to 80% is the maximum capacity.

    Hello

    It is certainly very well run Notepad on just the AC adapter.

    Regarding the battery once a month, reinsert the battery, turn the machine on and let the battery fully charged.  Unplug the AC adapter and let the unit run until you start getting a "low battery" warning  Completely load it again, then let the battery drain to about 40%.  Shut down the laptop, remove the battery and store it separately in a cool place.  Repeat this procedure each month will help you keep your battery in good condition.

  • Can't scan at all & printer freezes my laptop is turned on more than 3 minutes?

    Can't get my Laserjet M1212nf MFP to scan anything at all, it freezes as my laptop, if it's on more than 3 minutes.  I connected via the USB cable to my laptop Dell under Windows XP SP2.  I tried to run the diagnostic tool, but it freezes and then gives me the same error message as the printer when I try to scan something.  The error message "sorry, but scan software needs to close." I also deleted the drivers and reinstalled times since the original CD & download from HP.com whenever it froze just my laptop once the drivers have been installed. I don't know what else to try?

    I know that it isn't a hardware problem, because the copy of the printer function works very well!  The scan bar is fail & before he come to scan and then send the data from my laptop.  So my guess is it's a software problem, but I'm not an expert?

    It has been so for about 6 mos now and I'm just trying to not use it much, but it's starting to annoy me that I spent so much on something that I can't use!  Can someone please help me with this?  Thank you!!!

    Wtdboss, sorry for not responding sooner, I was out of the country on a trip to visit his family in France.

    Looks like we can fix pretty easily. To be able to scan from your computer directly on your computer you need to activate the scan function in the software for your printer on your computer. This should be under Scanner or scanner Actions. This will give you your printer permission to access your hard disk computers and record the material there.

    I hope this solves this problem for you!

  • Battery ThinkPad Tablet has taken a lot of time to fully charge

    As the title says, when the battery remains below 20%. It took more than 20 hours to fully recharge the battery which is impossible for me to use every day.

    But sometimes, it took only about 4 hours to fully charge which happens rarely.

    So, I think that it is a software issue more to a hardware problem.

    And it has past since day 1 I buy the machine.

    Can someone recommend me?

    Help is very much appreciated and I thank you

    Make sure that the Tablet is completely off while charging. Use the cable adapter and USB OEM power. If the slate does not detect the right brick cable/power he can enter a fully compatible USB mode, drawing only 0.5 Watts and this means a slow, very slow, process leader, who, in fact, can last up to 20 hours.

    If all else fails, buy a dock. It is not very expensive and, from what I've read, it's worth the money.

    So, make sure you have all updates applied. I found no information on OTA you run on your computer, but if you think it may be a software problem, it's the best way to get an answer. Updates are very valuable and will make your slate run faster. 2 OTA has an update of the firmware of the battery, and it can also be useful.
