• How to drain completely Satellite L50 - B battery

  Hi all
  as I read on various internet guides it is useful to completely drain the battery once in a while, I want to do but not lol.
  Saving settings of the advanced battery, there seems to be no option to perform this task. Specifically in the section 'battery', first option i.e. 'procedure for battery almost empty' (sorry if my English is not good here I'm tryin to translate Italian) you do not have an option like "don't do anything". I don't know if that is the question, but can someone tell me what I need to do to drain my battery?

  No one?

• The laptop battery maintenance: conflicting advice in the Knowledge Base?

  According to article MSW700073, taking care of your laptop batteryKnowledge Base, you should:

  "Use your battery to keep it cool. Don't let your computer permanently connected. It's a good idea to discharge and then recharge your laptop battery once a month. In addition, you should let your battery run before that recharge you it. »

  On the other hand, article Specifies how is battery meter? (no number; emphasis added):

  "Most laptops use lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. Like most batteries, lithium-ion batteries gradually lose their ability to store energy as they get older, whether or not charge you. Over time, this change in storage capacity significantly affects the accuracy of the battery meter. If frequently drain you a lithium-ion battery, and then recharge it, it can quickly lose its ability to hold a charge, which affects the accuracy of the battery meter. The practice of completely draining the battery and then full charge is recommended which applied to batteries nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and, to a lesser extent, the nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries. Lithium-ion batteries last longer if you charge them often, a little at a time, to maintain a minimum load of about 40 percent capacity.

  These statements seem contradictory.  Which is correct? If they are really contradictory, how do you get the incorrect an answer key?

  Hi Siva,

  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.

• How to manually calibrate your laptop battery.

  The wire of time, based lithium will slowly "forget" where are their points of 0% and 100% (this can be compounded if you use AC power constantly).  Thus, it is often good maintenance to manually calibrate the battery of laptop computer for optimal performance.  I suggest do it every two months.

  1. Fully charge the battery.
  2. Restart your laptop and enter the BIOS.  You can then follow this article on execution of the test drive.  When running this test disconnect your laptop computer from its power source and leave the hard drive test to completely drain the battery.
  3. After that the battery is low, replace the AC power and charge the battery completely.
  4. Use the HP Battery Check to make sure that no futher problem is detected with your battery.

  For more information on the batteries and calibration, please see this document.

• Question about the laptop battery and satellite L510

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L510 and find the battery moves a bit - like 2mm so be it.
  It is on the edge of the laptop, I suppose, but I was wondering if there should be no movement at all?

  On my two laptops from Toshiba battery cannot be moved, but the battery is locked and cannot be moved or deleted.
  Your laptop satellite battery is too locked?

  By the way: when you use the notebook on the desk, this movement is irrelevant and cannot have a negative influence on the power supply for computer laptop battery s.

  Hello

  Thank you for reading my post.

  Is - harmful to the laptop battery if I put the phone on during a long period on the current?

  Thank you

  Hello

  the answer is not simple.

  The Lenovo powermanager should do the job for you.

  Maybe you are able to load automatic loading in settings powermanager.

  I Don t know if the option in the new versions of powermanager is chosen as standard.

  Maybe it isn´t a switch or a checkbox, causing the Manager already does.

  But it won´t affect your battery when you leave it plugged in AC.

• Laptop battery only charges to 79%. Think I've changed the settings earlier to save the battery of thea, but now want to 100% load again.

  My laptop battery is ok, but still only charge up to 79%. And stop there. What should do? I changed the settings as soon as possible to save the battery, but now wants to load 100% again. I can't find where to change them back.

  If you start in System Setup (BIOS) - before any loading of the operating system - and look at the section health and charge battery... What percentage watch battery is charged it?  What status?  If leave you it in the BIOS and let it load this way - it's 100% top?  If so - what happens when you start in Windows?

  (Trying to confirm this, it is an error within the OS and not a hardware problem).
