Satellite A200 short battery life - it pays very quickly

Today, I have restored my A200 Satellite to factory settings.
It is the 4th time that I did in the last 2 years.

Now my battery life is screwed.

100% loaded with about 10 minutes to the end (image: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/3548/100g.png)

85% charged to 8 minutes (image: http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/723/46880270.png)

What is going on?

I'm afraid that if I restore settings to "fix" the problem it only make it up worse and end being 2 minutes from the end to completely charged.

Hello

Looks like the battery is dead
In this case, you will need to buy a new

Can I use my old battery for about 2 min it s fully charged, but after 2 min so use it s empty
But I use my laptop as a desktop PC it s still connected to the power adapter so I put t need a new battery

  • Toshiba Satellite C50t - A - battery life is very short

    Hi all

    I have problem my C50t-A battery life is very short (less than two hours) and use usually laptop for reading, then how to check actual life of the battery and if there is problem in my battery. The application of integrity monitor shows me the battery is good, but this makes it not correct because I need to charge my phone every two hours or maybe less and this very denoising since sometimes not easy to load in any place. Are there program or ask to check my laptop battery?

    Download a program called cpuid.com HWMonitor to display the level of the battery.

    Lithium batteries only last about 3-4 years before you have to replace. They lose about 30% - 20% capacity every year.

  • 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.

  • Satellite A100-493 - short battery life

    Hei,
    I installed windows 7 on my Toshiba ' Satellite A100-493. After the installation of the battery life drops to 20 min. What can I do?

    And I read in the support that toshiba has a battery for this model Exchange program, it is now possible to change the battery?

    Welcome them
    Kalle

    Hey Buddy,

    Where did you read about this procedure to Exchange battery?

    In my opinion, the dough is near end of life because Satellite A100 is old laptop model and if you didn t exchange the battery yet it seems to be bad now.

    Usually, a battery can be recharged 500 - 1000 times and after that, need to replace the battery because it s a part not reusable.

  • Satellite M105-SP381: short battery life - 01:50 mins

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Satellite M105 and I think that Im not getting good battery life out of it. I have had the machine for 1 month and I can barely 01:50 mins on drums, with a minimum brightness and wifi, just surf the web and listen to mp3s. What is the performance expected for this type of machine?

    It has a 1.8 Core Duo, 1 GB RAM, 80 gb HD, ATI x 1300 14 "of clues? I use the watch system to "long term" Toshiba application. My battery was unaffected by the action of voluntary exchange of Toshiba.

    Thank you

    HI Juan,

    Different parts of the book will use you the power at higher or lower rates. Any component with a mechanical action (your hard drive, optical drive, floppy drive, etc.) use generally a little more power than the CPU, RAM etc.

    The effect is to drain the battery faster if the hard drive or optical drive is used. So, generally, is expected to get more autonomy if you use an application such as Word or Excel where there is minimum hard disk activity unless you're constantly saving or loading documents.

    In your case, playback of MP3 files will constantly have to load data from the drive hard (although cached to reduce the number of access) while you browsing the internet is constantly written pages in your Temporary Internet folder (as well as access to your anti-virus database). All this activity hard drive means that the hard drive is never allowed to turn down and therefore do not have to use the power of the battery.

    As long as you follow the usual recommendations to optimize your battery (let it fully discharge from time to time) I think that the time you get really is reasonable for the type of activity that you do.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite A215-S4757 - battery life and the problem of cooling fan

    Hello everyone,

    I would like to ask a few questions abou my system: first, the cooling fan works in my view too often: almost without interruption, with brakes for 2-3 seconds. Is this normal?

    I have my laptop since last August and I think that it shouldn't be a dust problem, because it is too 'young' for this and I do not live in an apartment "dusty"...

    In any case, I think that the problem of "almost allways running fan" appeared about 2 months after I bought the laptop. I installed 'Speedfan' and I see 'HD0' temperature increases of 30deg remarks immediately after I have start the laptop, on 39deg after 1 hour.

    But the most curious is that so called "Core" temperature oscillates from the beginning between 45deg and 52deg! The fan starts each time the core temperature rises to 50deg and stops when the temperature reached 45deg. This behavior is normal?

    Is the normal temperature of 45-50deg? I use my laptop for browsing the Internet, emails, etc., no complex 3d games!

    The second thing is that the battery life is (and has been since the beginning) not spectacular: it lasts max. 1.5 hours with wireless use on, but normal laptop (don't play not DVDs or something like that). Is this normal? If so, is it because of the amd processor turion 64 x 2?

    Please help me with some tips / advice.

    P.S. I bought my Toshiba as I was travelling to the US (NY).

    Thank you much in advance.

    Conrad

    > I would like to ask a few questions about my system: first, the cooling fan works in my view too often: almost without interruption, with brakes for 2-3 seconds. Is this normal?

    I m an owner of a Satellite A210. It s similar to the A215. The A210 is a European model and the A215 belongs to the series of cell phones in the United States.
    I noticed the same thing on my A210, and I think that's a normal s behavior.

    > But the most curious is that so called "Core" temperature oscillates from the beginning between 45deg and 52deg! The fan starts each time the core temperature rises to 50deg and stops when the temperature reached 45deg. This behavior is normal?
    The 40-60deg CPU temperature is not unusual.
    The temperature could affect up to 70-80degrees by practicing a game. So Don t worry about the temperature.
    Cooling modules are controlled by the BIOS. Fan table is stored in the BIOS and it contains information about the limits of temperature and the use of cooling.
    If a certain level of temperature has been reached the cooling module begins to spin with a certain speed.

    Now, I would like to say a few words on the life of portable batteries
    Generally the duration of battery life depends on the use of portable computers.
    While playing games or watching movies the battery a lot faster.

    In any case, your laptop is equipped with high performance devices and AFAIK Vista was preinstalled on this series. The two factors (high performance CPU and GPU devices) + Vista OS need a lot of battery power. Vista needs of more resources for laptop like Win XP, and so portable computers equipped with Vista operating system run more short on battery such as laptops pre-installed with Win XP.

    Finally and above all he must know that there are different models more strong the battery with high * value of my would help run the notebook longer using the power of the battery.

    Hope I could clarify this issue.

    Good bye

  • 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:

    Can anyone help please?

    Hello

    For me, it looks like you used not compatible, not taken in charge or bad battery.
    But you can try to remove the battery and he must walk in order to check if there is some loose contacts or something like that

    If this isn't the case then get in touch with a local ASP from Toshiba and order the battery that is recommended by Toshiba.

  • Re: Satellite A665-11Z - CPU fan becomes audible very quickly

    Hi guys,.

    After having many problems with an A660, I decided to buy a laptop A665-11Z 3D. I had much better and more stable than the A660, but I noticed that the fan noise accumulates very quickly and can be a little annoying.

    The A665-11Z has an I7-740QM processor and a Nvidia GT - 350M 1 GB dedicated graphics card so they can contribute to this, but all four cores temperature exceeds about 52 degrees (which seems normal for me) and yet its still has its fan turns up to be that sound.

    I exchanged the laptop with my retailer twice already as one had a noisy fan and the other a bad hard drive. They had all the noisy fans and the one I have now has been silent so far, but is even harder than normal. I tried to play with the settings "Advanced" options for power management and played a bit with 'High Performance' cooling options to "Battery optimized". It does not constantly on 'Battery optimized' (as it does in High Performance) but when it lights it is even stronger and it takes too long to switch off).

    Is this normal with all A665 and I just have to continue to live with it?

    Thank you

    Hello

    What to say? I use laptops now almost 10 years and have changed several models (not only the portable Toshiba) and I can say that some models have a cooling fan stronger and some are quite calm but none of them was absolutely quiet and silent.

    In General, I had good experience with method option in settings of cooling energy saving and after changing battery optimized mode, I noticed that s laptop cooling fan is much quieter than before. Unfortunately there is not much you can do about it and I'm afraid that you have to live with it.

    I put t know what kind of activities you have every day with your laptop, but if you use it for internet, office, Skype or something similar use with power with lower CPU performance management. Processor is powerful enough and you won't see lower performance than before. Make sure you also cooling fan is not blocked and the laptop can be cooled properly.
    I m afraid you must live with it.

    The thing than an end: you wrote >... I have now has been silent so far, but is even stronger than normal.
    At this point I m wondering what is normal and how is it defined?

  • A7's very short battery life.

    I have two original batteries from sony. They have been completely drained reloaded several times now. I usually have flight Mode. Especially shooting highest priority one moderate update mode. So far, I have never been able to get even 100 moves on the part of the batteries. Even when the camera is turned off there are considerable flow - in about 1-2 weeks more than 60% of battery so that off - I think that it is very unusual.

    In fact, the first time I posted this, Sony traded the camera (but not the battery) and now they re proposes to replace the batteries, one at a time. It's that it is unlikely that two cameras in a row are not likely to be defective. So, is it the batteries, or would be - this something I do inadvertently? I could really use help and advice on that.

    It is better that you have the camera with batteries rated by a technician. Please visit our eService site for more information about warranty and repairs.

  • Satellite L10-146: battery life decreased to 30 minutes

    my laptop is supposed to have a battery about 3 hours time. I bought it a year ago, but now he can run for 30 minutes. should I go and complain where I bought it or conntact toshiba? dose - does anyone know where I can by a new? If someone had the same problem and knows what is best to do?
    I have a satellite L10-146.
    Thanks for the help!

    Hello

    It is normal for the batteries decrease their performance after a while of use. But this is definitely not normal watering duration decreases of 3 hours 30 minutes in one year. So I think that if you still have warranty, you will get a new Toshiba service battery.

    Anyway to get a new battery (free or not) you should contact Toshiba service partner.

  • HP Split x 2-13-r010dx short battery life

    I have a HP Split x 2-13-r010dx I bought a month ago.  It seems that the battery in the computer is very very poor.  I always load up completely overnight and as I am a student and I take it with me during my day and it does not use a lot in classes.  I'm lucky if the battery completely dosnt die during the couse of the day during his sleep in my backpack.  When I use it on battery, literally the battery falls down one percent every two minutes.  Is someone can you please tell me if I do something wrong? I also noticed that when the computer is turned on it is always very hot to the touch, even when he sleeps, could it be linked? I always close my programs when I'm done with them.
