Satellite A200 - 1 H 2-1 hour battery drains

Hello

I bought a new Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 H 2 2-3 weeks. Sound obtained by T5440 Core3Duo, 2 GB of RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600GT 256 dedicated (up to 1025 with turbomemory).
I am aware that I got a fairly good CPU and GPU and they cost power.

But is this normal when POWER safe mode on my battery drains completely in a little more than 1 hour?

Hello

Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop!
But as far as I know the A200 runs approximately 1.15 hours on battery

In addition, the laptop came with a standard battery.
If you need more power, you should buy a stronger battery with 6000mAh or higher.

  • Satellite A200-1AX where can I get battery 12

    Hello

    I have a simple question about the batteries on these laptops.
    I'm looking to buy a battery 12 cells for this model.

    Toshiba BG (Bulgaria) said that there is no battery 12 cells laptop model Satellite...
    Somehow I do not have them.

    Could someone tell me where can I buy a battery?
    Give me a link from an onlien shop?
    :)

    Hello!

    On the Toshiba site, you can search for new batteries:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online services & -online Options of PC Accessories devices & -Online Homepage Options & accessories PC

    There you can find compatible batteries and where to buy it.
    But if the ASP said that there was no battery 12 cells for this model I think it is. The ASP will know better than us users here. ;)

  • Battery drain incredible during the eve logged onto a windows Tablet 8 clovertrail

    I do the exasperating experience draining the battery during 'connected' on a windows Tablet 8, Samsung Smart PC 500 T. I bought it 2.5 months ago, the problem has been for more than a month, after a few big OS against MS updates... I tried to diagnose any way I can, but this it it, thank you, not interested by this day before thing all connected, will no longer be a Guinea pig. I want to just turn it off.
    -How to disable connected standby mode? Don't tell me 'it is part of the windows experience' blah blah 'experience' is half cooked so far... (to put it very diplomatically). I want to close standby connected, completely - and use the sleep windows 7-style good, old, normal. Is there a service, the registry key, all I can do to disable the standby connected?
    Connected standby mode, I've got battery drain with flight mode, no user apps open (anything that can be taken out of service - shutted down), most apps metro removed, only 4 left (metro IE10, Windows Store, music, Photos, S-camera), no nfc, no bluetooth, no usb, no keyboard accessories don't dock, all the stuff from Task Scheduler not only not allowed out the computer , but disabled at all, no auto sync anything in widndows 8 (not sync tiles, tips of user account, no email push in outlook 2013), no auto updates of OS, whatever it is (except for samsung s-implementation to date clean service - weather, it was long before and it has not caused any problems) anytvirus, disabled windows Defender...
    Nothing interesting in the event viewer, with which it is related to food filtered logs of the system...
    I mean, the man... What the...? ! How to find that something that drains my battery? I was watching cycles cpu (Task Manager and ProcessExplorer) and it is not conclusive, the most programs is OS stuff... some "material interruptions and DMCs, but not nearly enough to cause this brain drain...
    I suspect drivers wifi a little... some weird newspapers I saw in the viewer the same... But I won't standby connected . WiFi off. I even checked, I disabled the wifi driver in Device Manager and on the standby battery drain connected yet,
    Yes, I updated everywhere. I would even say updated too much em... It works well in advance.
    Some powercfg - batteryreport (s) in the links below. Well Yes, played with powercfg /waketimers, power of Device Manager and parameters of wake, powercfg /devicequery wake_armed (everything is turned off, nothing here awhile loong) and powercfg-query. Clean.
    On these photos of powercfg - batteryreport, the columns are date/type of activity/lasted for how long/battery drain in %/battery drain in mWH. Which suggests you take a look at the last. That's a record... of 18% in 4 hours battery drain. "Sleeping."
    The Tablet is lying on my desk, just sitting there, doing so I have no idea what, and 4 hours more later boom, where all this battery juice went?
    ! I have a problem with the windows start button, it fires in my bag accidentally when I wear the autour tablet, but that's a separate problem how disable this button windows at home. The backup battery drain is a different thing.
    Much more serious.
    So:
    QUESTION 1:
    -How to disable this thing crappy connected standby that drains my battery and makes me crazy?
    QUESTION 2:
    s ' it is not possible to disable directly, how to go around that? I don't have a button for this. Saying what to do with the windows registry is good enough.
    QUESTION 3:
    -If connected standby cannot be disabled in some way - how to diagnose what app/process uses cycles cpu, battery juice? I've been everywhere ProcessExplorer and observer of events, but maybe you know something I don't know...
    And please spare me the clean boot suggestions, when I go back to the 'normal' State I have a ton of bloatware I don't need running with the OS... There is a reason why a little more savvy people use these things as services.msc. Bloating! No, I didn't touch the system services... Yes I know it can cause a ton of problems, it is not.
    I do not need a clean boot, I need a way which device in the Device Manager uses so much power, which driver, what app, what service, what is the process, this thread, where it has located in the file system, when he was active, how many cycles on the CPU, it has obtained since then...
    And if MS doesn't already have this app in windows, it should be a cause of issues of power on windows tablets 8 of clovertrail are... plague. For example - this is exactly the problem (a similar review victory 8 connected tablet with the same question shall) here - http://www.umpcportal.com/2013/02/connected-standby-battery-life-problem/
    When even comments from bloggers and tech write about it, you know that there is something in it.
    But I guess that applications like freshpaint stupid finger paint are more important as a selling point.

    Just to let you know all I found the registry key to disable the standby connected. So you can all stop rage and take a sigh of relief.

    Reach:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power. There is a DWORD value called "CsEnabled" that you should find the value 1 and change to 0 will turn standby connected power off.

    I have a Surface Pro 3 and can confirm that since making the change in my battery life has improved considerably. Also on the battery meter, before he just showed the remaining percentage, but now it shows the time remaining (for example 8 hours, 30 minutes) as well.

    The only drawback to it is when I close the type of cover and re - open, the logo (logo windows normally blue) surface appears and performs the old style wake up from its sleep. Of course this should not be a problem for some of you so as most laptops normally do...

    Already when I opened the hood, the screen will come back and I'll be back at my desk (or metro app, no matter what either was last opened) just like before - similar to press the lock and turned off on an iPad, tablet or by phone.

    I hope this helps all the world all that. Please like and mark as solution if it solves your problem :D

  • Satellite A200 - battery empty after 2 hours

    My laptop SATELLITE A 200 - BJ runs exactly 2 hours when I'm on the plane "save energy" - then I have to download. Is it normal?

    I bought 1 month ago and I don't konow how :(
    Please help me, thx

    Hello

    Why would it not normal? I presume that you very well now that Vista uses more resources than Windows XP Home edition and it is logical that energy consumption is also higher than on Windows XP Home edition.

    To be honest the 2 hours is OK for this model of laptop. I have the Satellite A200-1CR and battery is also about 2 hours. Less than 2 hours, but sometimes it depends on notebook use.

  • Had to remove my battery to start my Satellite A200

    My laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 after allmost 4 years of use on shutdown remained with the

    "Power on led" lights up on the systray and refused to start when I hold down the Power button.

    When the Batttery was deleted and I tried to start with cable AC power adapter, it starts as usual

    without any problem.

    The model is A200 - 1 M 4

    Model No.: PSAEOE - 04E029GE

    DC19V 3.4 HAS

    Made in China IT.

    So far, my battery has been recharged effectively

    and kept the load when unused for at least 5 days. When I

    a pluging in the AC/DC adaptor the led turned blue in a few

    minutes, anyway it was never orange flashing.

    Until recently, with the AC adapter disconnected with my recharged cable

    battery I could follow work for at least a year and a half hours.

    Can I check the status of the battery before replacing?

    Should I be looking for another vice of repair or not my battery needs replacement.

    Can someone try to help.

    Thank you.

    Thank you for your comments.

  • Satellite A200 with not battery

    Hello

    Could someone advise me please?
    I have a Satellite A200 which does not seem to charge the battery for more than half an hour - even if it was left for 2-day charge on AC.

    It is driving me + MAD + please help :)

    Cheers - Bee

    Hey Buddy

    This is a user to user forum not technicians, there is everything here, and you can always meet the same people like you and me
    If don t be worried about some sarcasm here ;)

    Back to your question, in fact, it looks like a malfunction of the accumulator and in my opinion, you should test another battery, but before you would get in touch with Toshiba ASP, you must check if your BIOS is updated the BIOS should be updated later say I don't very well if this will change anything but it s worth a try m

  • Satellite A200 battery run time

    G ' Day, I have an A200 series PC laptop which is about 2 to 2.5 years, since the original battery died. I bought a new battery - one more (in other words, he had to last longer than the original). The new battery is not completely charged after charging for 6 hours, while the machine stops and only lasts 2 to 2.5 hours on battery. The power settings are balance and I especially don't work only with the word doc and sometimes the media player in the background.
    The original battery (small capacity) used to last 2-3 hours on these parameters.
    The manufacturer said tht, it may be a driver issue any.

    If anyone has had a similar dilemma, and there, anyone know how I could fix this problem apart from return to the manufacturer of the battery?

    Concerning
    Rgtom

    2.5 hour battery run time on the Satellite A200 is OK for me and it's the same as on my Satellite A300.
    I think 2.5 hours DURATION is just average for this model of laptop.

    Can you please tell us exactly what battery you bought?
    Can you send us exact Toshiba part number?

  • How to maximize battery life battery on Satellite A200

    Hi all!

    I just bought a laptop satellite A200. Could someone tell me how to maximize my battery life?
    I already had my first charge 2 hours after a total of battery drain, however, my battery fail to maintain another couple of hours.
    I do something basic like navigation and using the media player of saved files and I don't use my dvd readers yet and do not lend themselves its operations.
    Please advice.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    What to say dude battery working time depends on the use of the laptop and on the performance of the battery.
    I put t know what exactly the battery delivered with this laptop, but as far as I know it s a common standard battery. If you want to use the laptop much more time, I advise you to buy the stronger battery; for example, with 6000-8000mAh with Adapter Cable.

    By the way; You can configure the use of battery power in Vista power options.
    If you wish, you can create a new configuration of the plant to get the best performance from the battery.

    Check it!

  • Satellite A200 - I can't see battery time remaining single percentage

    Hello

    I had a Satellite A200 on Vista and XP, and I'm NOT able to see the remaining estimated battery time. I see only the percentage left.

    For example, I use my laptop unplugged for over an hour (my comments) and I can only see the percentage left (45%), but I can't see the time remaining.

    I have a problem with Vista or XP.

    Is - this natural? What can I do to see the time remaining?

    Sorry, but I would like to know why you think that this is a problem. Where you found information that it must be demonstrated to remaining battery time?

  • Satellite A200 works fine on battery but hangs when adding power supply.

    Hello
    I'm having a problem with my Satellite A200. I have no problem when I charge the battery and just run the battery, however, as soon as I plug in the adapter and I have problems.

    The machine seems to freeze and the screen has different colours in the lines and blocks.
    I bought a new adapter, but same problem persists.

    I think that this is without a doubt for professionals and I recommend you to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider.
    Explain the situation and let it check your laptop.

    The A200 is older model laptop and I can't imagine you have been faced with a question described the first day so I'm afraid that there must be some hardware problem and to fix it you need professional help m.

  • Satellite A200 is not charging the battery

    Hello everyone!

    I apologize for my English; It is not the main language.
    Somehow that I can take my Satellite A200 and Assembly are not correctly open the cable (don't know what the cable, apparently the power of the screen), it has been between the keyboard and the top panel, but I forgot and put it between the motherboard and the top panel and... when all assembled and understood that most of the burned... cables precisely burned coil... cord I immediately pulled out but the battery remained in it... in general not very well turned out ;)))

    As a result of what it led to: first is sometimes not visible when you move the keyboard and the touchpad... to eliminate the need to restart the car... then, in principle, sometimes a laptop is not included, i.e. of tanning power of the lamp and all... in this case to remove the worst... and finally, power cable the battery is more responsible... i.e. After all this, I discharge the battery and now the laptop only works on the power cable.

    Question: is the problem of battery or motherboard?

    Your English is hard to understand, but it seems that you disassembled the laptop and some cables connected in the wrong way.
    Then something is charred and now you have some problems with the battery, etc.

    I think that there is a hardware problem, who knows what you did in the past
    The fact is that you did something wrong... it is always a risk if someone without a technician experience disassemble the laptop.

    In your case, I recommend you contact someone who knows how to check the hardware specifications, you need professional help

  • Satellite A200 - loses the battery, switch off the power

    I have a relatively old Satellite A200, yet almost all inside is new except the battery. The battery has a very short life, but that's because its old. Recently the computer started to suddenly lose the battery, so the charge light stays on, the battery light turns off and the battery icon said "plugged in, not charging." However, the computer still work on battery power. If I see it at the time, then by removing and replacing the charger repeatedly, I can start it load again, but if I am not it switches off without warning. Since the battery life is now less than a minute which often.

    I don't think that the problem is with the charger because it always shows the charger is plugged in, and when the computer is off the battery light is always on when it is plugged. I had a problem with the power connector, but if the motherboard was recently replaced so I don't think that's it either.

    If someone could help it would save me a lot of frustration, thank you.

    Hello

    At first, I must say that you should not be frustrated. Problems with consumer products are normal, and each of us has problems with laptops, televisions or other electronic product.

    Let's see what you can do about it.
    Your description is OK, but what I want to know is follow:
    When you remove the battery can work on your laptop with no problems (start work, cut)?

    I also think that the battery is too old and I presume it's troublemaker in the history. It is not easy to explain what behavior flashing if you have a defective hardware or old coin inside.

    Maybe, you need to buy the replacement of the battery and check the features for laptop and the battery, just to see if everything will be OK again. If you will be faced with the same problem again then we can discuss what may be the problem.
    In my opinion only a reason for this could be electronic power supply.

    What do you think?

  • Satellite A200 use external battery

    Hi all.

    I have the Satellite A200-PSAE6E, and I bought a universal external battery. But external battery cannot produce enough current to my laptop when the internal battery is not full. When internal battery is fully charged, external keeps it full and portable computer running, but when the internal battery is not complete and I plug the external battery in seconds laptop shows that it is plugged in, charging the battery, but after a few seconds, it shows only that the laptop is plugged, and battery charge.

    Problem is that when the laptop is plugged in and the battery won't charge it uses an internal battery (as when it is not plugged in), and it drain the internal battery it turn off and there was still shows that it is connected. Can I define that when the laptop is plugged in, but does not charge to use external power?
    I'm sure it's only the software solution.

    You ad is really confusing

    I have a question; Is the external battery designed for this model of laptop and Toshiba recommends use this external battery in your laptop?
