T500 battery 6 cells died after 287 Cycles?

My battery of 6 cells in my T500 (bought in Nov 2008) is already dead. It holds a charge 14 Minute as of the present moment and holds less than 20% of its initial charge. Lenovo Power Manager says that he has only been cycled 287 times, however. I use the computer quite often, but I was under the impression that these are supposed to last 2-3 years?

-What can I do to get a free spare battery from Lenovo or I'm on the hook for a new? I'm looking for in getting a battery 9 cells because the 6 cell never really gave me good life even at its peak.

Hi manunited518!

Lithium-ion batteries CAN last 300-500 cycles, but if they depend a lot on what happens during their lifetime. More informative description of the technology I know is The University of the battery. There is a nice article on How to prolong lithium-ion batteries. As it's there, 'a lithium-ion battery in use battery usually lasts between 2-3 years' but 'if used on food, inside a laptop battery won't last for 12 to 18 months. There are other factors that can shorten his life, too, like the heat.

It is never wrong to ask about a replacement, but the basic battery warranty is 1 year, and you went that .

  • Pavilion dv6t-6100: battery 9-cell HP Pavilion dv6t-6100 dies prematurely

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6t-6100, I'm back (2011). When I set it up, I chose to get two batteries with it: the 6-cell battery that comes standard and the battery 9 cells optional. But I have a problem with the 9-cell: with it connected, the system always stops at 33% staying fresh with no warning, as warnings battery start to appear around 10-15% remaining fresh. I suspect that three of the 9 cells are quite dead. I checked on the website of accessories, but I couldn't find the same battery available and under 'Laptops from 2011 to 2013', the dv6t-6100 is not even mentioned. (The page has the Pavilion dv6t-7000 listed, but it's a different model entirely.) So I don't know where to find a new battery, which one to get, where to find the one that the label on my battery was told to replace it with, or anything of that kind. Can someone help me?

    My laptop runs Windows 10 Pro Insider overview since November 2014 after obtaining its hard drive replaced. The problem with the 9-cell occurred since before that date.

  • NB200 122 - what battery 6 cells is compatible?

    Just a question.

    I bought a NB200 122 because he had 3G and the processor was a little faster than others with 1.66 Ghz.
    The battery that comes with it is a 3 cell which lasts about 3 hours.
    I was envious of the battery 6 cells in the model 10J NB200, I think, which is supposed to last for 9 hours.

    These batteries are both compatible with my netbook, I want to say can I buy a 6 cell and use it without any problems or dangers?

    Thankss a lot in advance.

    Mohamed

    Hello

    I think you can use these battery 6 cells in the two booklets since the 10J NB200 and NB200 122 belong to the same series which is PLL25E.

    So I see no good reason for the battery 6 cells are not compatible with the NB200 122

  • Satellite A200 - what is the experience of the battery 9 cells?

    Hi im considering getting a battery 9 cells...

    Whats experince of peoples that they are much better?

    Where is a good place to go away and makes the quality varies a lot, or should I shop on price alone?

    How everyone takes care batterys there, you pull them out or off fee if it loads for long periods...

    Hello

    What Satellite notebook you have exactly?
    I m not an owner of the Satellite series but in my opinion with a 9cell battery you can more work on the mode of battery as with a battery 6 cells. So I think it also depends on the use of the laptop. I you use it often with AC/DC adapter I think that this upgrade is not so important.

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

    And last but not least you can buy new batteries to an authorized service provider. On the Toshiba site you can also search for them ;)

    Hello

    The laptop goes to home Toshiba screen?
    If yes there is no hardware malfunction but perhaps something wrong with the software.

    You suggested that it of not possible to enter the BIOS. How have you tried to get into the BIOS?
    As far as I know, this unit uses a Phoenix BIOS so you must press the F2 key immediately after switching on. Press the "F2" key several times to make sure that the option has been enabled.

    The alternative to boot from the CD/DVD drive is using the C key. The same procedure here: press the C key immediately after starting the laptop.
    (the CD must be inserted before you start)
