Portege R200 - battery discharging when it is off

Hi bought a Toshiba R200 in Australia about 2-3 months with the standard battery and long battery life. My problem is that even when I turn the machine off of the battery discharges (i.e. it is not hibernating or it is suspended). For example, I left the computer off for 4 days and he did not. When I came back and used the main battery was down to 60%, and the extended battery also fell to about 60% (both were full when I left). It loses about 10% per day. I have never experienced this before in the 5 notebooks dell/toshiba, that I had before.

It may not be my use of the batteries because I rarely use the machine away from its AC adapter. Most batteries have maybe 10 complete charge/discharge cycles since I got it. Also, if I'm not running on battery I get about 7-8 hours of battery life with the main battery and extended (which is normal) so it doesn't seem like "memory effect" of the battery.

I am trying to disconnect the batteries from the computer for a few days check if it is the battery or the computer, however I just wanted to know if anyone has ideas or experiences with this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

Believe me it's normal. In my laptop the same thing happened. During the night, there is deficit of 3 5% of the battery capacity. Don t you worry about it. Only what you can do is to do something to maximize the battery life.

For the Nickel metal hydride batteries (NiMH) battery will be better hold a charge if allowed to meet at least once a week. The chemical reactions that correspond to load and unload a rechargeable battery in case to get the maximum number of cycles of charge/discharge of the battery.

It is not necessary to remove the battery from the computer during the week when it is on current alternative.

Google all over the place. You can find lots of useful information on the laptop battery.

On this forum, you can find similar discussions, and many users have reported on this known issue. I just hope you have charged the battery on track as described in s operating manuals.

Good bye

  • Battery discharging when NB520 - 10H is off

    Looking for help with the battery problem.

    When fully charged and then disconnected from the mains, the battery has the good life, a period of about 7-8 hours.
    However, if the netbook is so off and remains with the battery overnight, it is quite dead in the morning, even if it was fully charged when it is off.

    It is as if something is draining the power even when the computer is completely shut down.
    It's really annoying and means I have to take the battery whenever that becomes cumbersome when transporting.
    Only to have the net book weeks and apart from that, it's great.

    Can anyone help with perhaps a setting that may be wrong or something?

    Hello

    It s nothing unusual battery discharging if the laptop is OFF but its strange that the battery loses power in this little time.

    In the BIOS Wake up on LAN option may affect the battery but the battery loose usually only 5-10% of the power.
    However, go to the BIOS and disable this option.
    Save the BIOS and check if that helps.

  • Satellite L500 19 X battery discharge when not in service

    My new and practically unsused portable is its battery at the rate of 10% in 48 hours when it is turned off and not in hibernation mode. To remove the battery is losing 2% within 48 hours.

    I fully charged the battery to 100% and closed while still in charge.

    There is no doubt in my mind that the battery is discharging when mounted and only lose a small amount of charge when removed from the laptop.

    All users have the same problem. The result is that, in a week, the battery will discharge some 35%, what I find unacceptable.

    Hello

    I think that's not bad boyfriend
    The battery will always be s discharge a little even if the laptop is not running.

    Take a look in the user manual.
    I did and found this:

    When you turn off your computer with fully charged batteries, the batteries keep following approximate data periods;

    Battery pack 12; 2 days ("sleep mode"); 20 days (shutdown mode)
    Battery pack 6. 1 day ("sleep mode"); 10 days (off mode)
    Battery pack 3. 0.5 days ("sleep mode"); 5 days (off mode)

    Always check the software suite / settings of the bios in order to decrease the discharge of the battery:
    -sleep / recovery mode hibernation etc. will reduce the time that the battery is drained considerably
    -always check the weather Wake-On-Lan or Wake on HDMI is enabled
    -always check the weather USB sleep & charge is activated

  • W3-810 battery drains when it is off (full stop)

    I got a W3-810 a week ago. So far, it's great except for a problem with the battery; it loses about 1-2% per hour when arrested - most, but not all the time. See below.

    1. As far as I know, all drivers are up-to-date.
    2. As recommended in the manual, I disabled the quick start so that when I use Shut Down in the bar to win 8 charms, he should make a full stop, not a hybrid.
      -J' ran a the Powershell command, who confirmed that the last couple Shut Downs were indeed full.
    3. The relevant info from powercfg /battery info is as follows:
      2015-09-11 20:51:32 suspended 64% (is a full charge up with system off; charge indicator light turned blue)
      2015-09-12 12:00:48 battery Active 81% (loss of 19%! )

    For me, this variation does not seem reasonable; I never know what power of my tablet is going to be like when I turn it on.

    I searched around the internet for help with this problem but haven't met something useful. Then, I'll have to this forum for an easy I hope & quick fix. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    In my view, the question in the battery mechanism, not as the battery discharges. Try to go through a few complete cycles of load (load completely, run on battery until it stops, then load entirely new) so he could re - calibrate and see if that fixes it.

  • Overnight battery discharged when the satellite has been turned off

    Hello

    This has happened again. My battery empties 25% from one day to the next and will be completely discharged in a week. The machine is not in hibernation, it is completely shut down. If I charge the battery and remove it from the machine it does not lose cool, which indicates a draining of the laptop. Any ideas?

    Hello

    Maybe this will help you a bit:

    I found this useful Toshiba paper on this topic:

    Battery drains 15-20% when it is turned off during the night
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB6B01N50013R01.htm

    This can happen if the wake on the service LAN (WOL) by the built-in LAN module is turned on

    Please check!

    -----------------------
    By the way; the loss of 2 to 4% of the power of the battery during the night is a normal state.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones battery discharge when it is turned off

    Hello!

    Since I've updated my device software I encounter the following problem.

    Whenever I turn off my BlackBerry (8310) it seems to be disabled. However when I want to turn it back on (the more often in the morning), it appears to be dead. When I plug it into the wall to recharge, the battery symbol lights up. This obviously means that the battery was completely dead.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you very much!

    Patrick.

    The battery of the device doesn't have energy for a reasonable period.

    Patrick, I would certainly consider the replacement of the battery with a new one.

  • Satellite Z830-10J battery discharge when the system is shut down

    My new Toshiba Satellite Z830 10J ultrabook with Win7 64 bit. all updates, works fine and shows no anomaly, there is however a strange exception.

    When the battery is completely charded and I 'pull the plug', the system runs on the battery for sometimes more than 5 hours, so I guess that the cycle of the battery is ok.

    When the battery is now fully charged again and I SHUT down the system and not using it for a few days.
    Then the battery is completely DISCHARGED to 0%, and the system does not start, until I plug.

    This phenomenon occurs in less than a week. So: loading of the batrery 100%, turn the system off, pull the plug, want to re - use the system after 7 days, yields 0% battery charge.

    Is there a specific reason for this?

    Greetings

    Roland Schweiger

    > It appears that one of the BIOS settings (disabling the sleep_and_charge or disable WOL) solved the problem

    Great! Thanks for the comments!

  • Satellite A30 - battery discharges when connected to the network

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me!
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A30. He has recently started to discharge the battery when it is connected to and running off, the sector. If the screen icon shows current alternative (mode full power), but the % of the battery decreases by 5% per minute.

    The battery on the laptop light is off. If I turned off the pc, the light will go orange, load. When I restart, it stays orange for a few seconds, then turns off again.

    Is this a problem with the battery or load main, or something else? Please help, this is driving me crazy, that I keep having to turn it off to recharge!

    Thank you very much

    I think battery is responsible for this. Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model, so I guess the battery is the best.
    Remove the battery and check the label of the battery. You will find the exact reference. using this part number, you can order new battery for your laptop satellite.

  • Qosmio F60 - battery life when it is off

    Gooday guy-

    Can you say how long a fully charged battery should last when the machine is turned off the power and do not use it.

    Hey,.

    I think that you ask this question because you lose the battery if the laptop is turned off. Right?

    Well, in this case you should disable wake up LAN, wake up on keyboard and USB Sleep & Charge. All of these options, you can find in the BIOS (F2).

    Check this box!

  • Battery discharging when it is plugged

    Hello

    I have a fairly new retina 12 inch MacBook. Twice now, it died on me while it is plugged. I would like to close the MacBook with perhaps 20% left on the battery, close it, Plug and when I open it later - expecting a charge of 50% - the Macbook would be dead - 0% load.

    Does anyone have the same boring experience? No idea where things might go wrong?

    Is it possible to get a MUCH more important Visual pop - up to warn me when the battery is low/criticism?

    I used to work my sound, so even the most heinous alert sound would not help. I don't know if a notification above the battery icon symbol appears or if I somehow just don't notice it. (The size of the icons of the screen is already big enough.)

    I put in order to put into hibernation, but I would still prefer to be alerted to avoid these hassles.

    I understand that you see a reduction in the battery of your iPhone 5s after updating to iOS 10. It is important to be able to make full use of your iPhone! There are a few resources that can help.

    Before the resolution of the problem, were you able to view information using your battery on your iPhone? Here's how to check the amount of battery used by each application:

    When you answer, remember to let us know if you see all the apps with an abnormal amount of battery. See you soon!

  • The battery will be discharged when my Satellite L670 is turned off and unplugged

    I have the Satellite L670-1john 3 months.

    the battery will discharge when the PC is turned off and unplugged.

    How to solve the problem?

    > the battery will discharge when the PC is turned off and unplugged.
    How to understand this?
    Does it means 24 hours battery is completely discharged or what?

    Battery loses power when the laptop is turned OFF and unplugged and there is nothing unusual.
    Enter the BIOS settings and disable Wake up on LAN.

    After doing this watch carefully what will happen and let us know if the battery will discharge both than before.
