Standby mode battery discharge rate

Hello

Has anyone else noticed that their battery loses about 4% per day, even if the machine is turned off completely and not used? Is it normal for a laptop?

If I disconnect the battery then it loses charge to about 3% per week - which seems reasonable.
If I leave the battery on the netbook, but that you do not use it for a week he loses about 28 percent - looks like a lot to me has held that the netbook is completely closed and not in hibernation or standby.

All this experience, is there something in my BIOS I can change to get a lower rate?

See you soon,.

Steve

I n t have experience with this, but have you tried to disable Wake up on LAN and sleep & Charge USB in the BIOS?
The two functions need battery power if the laptop is turned to do so of course they are disabled in the BIOS.
Check it!

And what laptop you have exactly?

  • 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

  • NB100 - multi-core of BIOS settings & battery discharge while off

    Hello, I bought the N100-R there are several monts. The unit is very reliable, but when taking take a closer look at the settings of the bios a few days ago I noticed that the multi-core enabled, while the processor is a single-core. After turning off I found that the drive produces some frequent hickups so intense, that the cursor starts jumping.
    Overall performance seems to be less catchy with multi-core disabled.
    The logs say nothing about the problem of hard drive, so I made a recovery today including about 168 updates in a row (as a nice side effect the update manager seem to be able to find the files of package again, which was not the case for two weeks or more).
    My question is, why the multi-core is enabled on a machine simple heart?

    The biggest problem is the issue of discharge while the device is in standby mode or even turned off.
    Some entries to mention this issue recommending upgrades the core among others), and I wonder if Toshiba is about to face in the near future.
    Here, even once, I played with the settings of the bios and disabled option wake-up-on-lan, such as recommended, however nothing has changed.
    Thanks in advance.

    Although single-core CPU, I thought they were hyperthreading (with what looks like two hearts to the BONE). In this case I guess that this setting disables hyperthreading?

    168 updates? What is the first set of updates never applied? Sounds like a lot!

    Hello

    You are talking about sleep function & expenses supported by some USB ports?

    Be aware that not all media ports USB Sleep & Charge and only marked with a small sign flash USB ports would give such function.
    As far as I know on Satellite L50-A-160 only USB 3.0 (on the right side) would support this sleep & Charge USB.

    The charge & sleep can be enabled and disabled in windows.
    Go to desktop-> Office Assistance (in the task bar)-> utility tools & -> Control Panel

    There you should find the different tabs and one of the tabs should have sleep & fresh / tab sleep & music which allows you to set advanced features for the mod, Hibernate standby mode and stop mode.
    Simply move the slider to activate or deactivate the function sleep & Charge.

    But the sleep & fees may not work with certain external devices even if they are compatible with the USB specification. In this case, turn off the power of the computer on the charging device.

    You should also be known that when sleep & cool man of wake-up function is activated USB does not work for the compatible ports.

    In addition, there is an option called function in battery Mode. This option can be used to toggle the sleep & Charge in battery mode. It also displays the remaining capacity of the battery.
    Simply move the cursor to enable or disable this feature.

    By the way: read the user 95 manual page. It would be useful for you.

  • Standby mode?

    The reader has a standby mode where it can be activated wireless? (so that you can use in car remotely without having to press the button)

    If so, the four hours of battery life is defined as four hours of read/write access constant, or four hours of such a mode "stand-by"?

    Hey noahrhys,

    Don't worry - this is normal default behaivor to save energy. It is fully configurable! You can adjust it never Hibernate mode or hibernate after a longer time - whoever you want - all while keeping the mode 'sleep'.

    Here is how to adjust this setting (assuming you are running Windows Vista or 7):

    1. Near the clock on the bottom right, right click on the battery icon.
    2. Click on "Power Options" and a new window will open.
    3. Next to the selected power management, click on "change plan settings".
    4. In this new screen, click "change power avancΘs."
    5. Look around until you find the category of 'Sleep' and expand by clicking on the + next to him.
    6. Find the "Hibernate after" category and expand it by clicking on the + sign next to it.
    7. Adapt these 2 values (on battery and sector) to one that you would like (type in the minutes). You can also type zero (0) to disable Hibernate completely.
  • BlackBerry smartphones, what exactly is Standby mode?

    In a quest to figure out how to activate the stop screen when I want to, I found the sleep mode, what exactly does.  All the manual says about it is to press mute to switch to standby mode, but does not say anything on this subject.  "Sleep mode", what exactly?  He always give me alerts calendar and phone calls and other alerts, or is he basically disabled?

    Jesse

    The standby mode is just a low power state to conserve battery power. He closed the backlight and screen and does not meet the presses until do you wake. Your notifications, phone calls, etc. are not affected by it.

    The case serves the same purpose: it has a magnet that is detected by the phone to put it to sleep. If you go to the notification / ringtone profile settings, you will notice 2 different setting: off the case and in the case.

  • Windows 8 and/or Surface Pro supports "connected standby mode?

    Hello

    I just read that ' a Windows 8.1 feature called connected standby mode, which allows computers to be put into mode 'sleep' and wake up instantly, is available today than in the 32-bit version "is the reason why" first Trail Bay tablets will use only the 32-bit version of Windows 8.1 ".»

    But if this is true, don't would then not it means that the Surface Pro running Windows 8 Pro 64 bit is therefore unable to use "connected pending"?

    I didn't notice the Surface Pro or the W700 Acer having problems coming out pending, then perhaps 'connected standby mode' is another type of sleep?  Can someone explain to me.  The "instant on" feature (the case of illusion, or for real) is what tablet users and so Windows 8.

    Our company has been delaying the replacement of our laptops Windows XP until the release of 2.4 GHz, 64 bit, 8 GB RAM, SSD 256/512, 4 G/LTE Mobile Broadband Bay Trail devices come to market.  As a benchmark, we are looking for a device (/ Ultrabook/Tablet laptop computer) that would be able to effectively deliver business applications, for example Adobe Photoshop, MS Powerpoint.  2 to 4 GB of RAM will not be enough.

    It will be Haswell devices without a fan, we have to buy these, even if they are much heavier and have reduced the battery life because it seems that it would not be until 2015 that see us peripheral Bay Trail capable business, see the articles below.

    Buyers looking for a tablet with the new Bay Trail Atom from Intel chip and a 64-bit version of Windows 8.1 will have to wait until early next year.

    Intel executives said Wednesday the first Trail Bay tablets will use only the 32-bit version of Windows 8.1, despite the support of 64-bit on the chip.

    Tablets with OS 32 bit have a limit of 4 GB of DRAM memory, while 64-bit can actually support 512 GB. Most of the first tablets Trail Bay with Windows 8.1 will not more than 4 GB of memory, said Steve Smith, Vice President and Director of development for the tablet at Intel.

    "We have the capacity, now it's a matter of when a system of consumption needs, it's probably somewhere in the future, I would say that a few generations away ', said Smith.

    The reason is the limitation in the software of Microsoft, said Nathan Brookwood, principal analyst at Insight 64. A feature of Windows 8.1 and wake up instantly, called Eve connected, which allows computers to be put into mode 'sleep' is available now than in the 32-bit version.

    Microsoft adds functionality to the 8.1 Windows 64-bit, and it will be available in early 2014.

    Intel also does not feel 64-bit is required on consumer shelves, even if he knows what IT managers want 64-bit compatibility on all PCs and mobile devices in the enterprise.

    Intel is developing a smart Tablet Trail separate Bay scheduled for 64 bit versions of Windows 8.1, and the processor will be available in the first quarter of next year, said Chris Walker, Director general of tablets at Intel Mobile Communications Group.

    2 Surface Pro supports NOT connected to sleep, even if it uses the "Haswell" chip, which supports this mode.

    There is a world of difference between standby connected and traditional modes of 'Sleep' and 'put to sleep '. Basically, connected to standby mode, the system really is, but requests are suspended for most. See here for a Microsoft document that gives an introduction connected mode standby.

    I don't know why the 2 Surface Pro does not deliver sleep connected; I've seen several data, possible reasons for why this might be true:

    • The 64-bit Windows 8/8.1 version does not support it.
    • It is necessary that the material to be a fanless design (Surface Pro 2A fans).
    • It is necessary for the design to have TPM (Trusted Platform Module) version 2.0 (Surface Pro 2A version 1.2)

    Whatever the reason (and it can be one or more of the above), it is disappointing that a product of the so-called phare does not support the feature.

  • Portege M700 new genuine battery discharge in about 1.5 hours

    Releases of my old original battery in 30 minutes and I bought a new original of the authorized dealer of Toshiba in Croatia.

    After several days of loading and unloading, the new genuine Toshiba battery discharging 1.5 hours of normal use without turning the voltage of external devices or optical drive.

    Specification of Toshiba Portege model indicates that the battery should last about 4 hours.
    How can I get the battery replaced when the local dealer said that it cannot guarantee autonomy and the new battery came directly from the authorized distributor of parts Toshiba in Europe?

    > After several days of loading and unloading, the new genuine Toshiba battery discharge 1.5 hours of normal use without turning the voltage of external devices or optical drive.

    The battery needs to be calibrated correctly. This means that you must load and unload the battery until it s completely empty. This should be repeated several times

    In addition, the working hours of battery depends on use notebook use laptop with brightness max or running applications that require performance CPU, GPU and HARD full disc would decrease battery working time.

  • 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.

  • 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
