T61 battery problem?
Hi, I have a Lenovo T61 running Win Vista Business. When I have my battery (battery OEM standard 6-cell) responsible for completely 100% then I kept the laptop on battery. As soon as the battery is about 85%, the computer puts me in mode hibernation, thinking perhaps that I have not left on battery juice. I plug the laptop on AC power and I see that my battery is down to 3%. I load up to 100% again. I have try the laptop on battery, and about 85%, the laptop into hibernation on me.
I confirmed this sequence several times. I've had my laptop since March 10, 2008, so I don't think that the battery is so old. Please someone help me.
You can find the charge cycles in the Power Manager under battery information, where it lists your first use date, battery temp, date of production, etc.
What you have described about the battery failure is quite common for Sanyo... and a lot of battery that fails look like what you described, I personally known many of these failures of the battery... IPod with Sanyo batteries like to do this... Full load for a minute, then suddenly battery dies on you without apparent warning...

T61 battery dead after 19 cycles?
Hey all, I'm new to the forum so please, be gentle.
I have a little problem with my T61 battery. I usually use my system as you would for a desktop PC, which means that the battery has cycled only 19 times since I got it back in 2007. Yesterday, the battery was perfectly fine to my knowledge. Today, I wake up and see the light flashing orange battery. Opening the program Power Manager tells me that my battery status is "poor".
Here's what all he said.
Battery information:
Status: No activity
Remaining percentage: 0%
Remaining capacity: 0,00 Wh
Full load: 42.49 Wh
Current: 0.14 A
Voltage: 9.68 V
Power consumption: 1.32 W
Temperature: 29 ° C
Number of cycles: 19
Manufacturer: SONY
Manufacturing date: 2007-12-01
First use date: 2007-12

Bar code number: 1ZEAV7C118S
FRU part number: 92 p 1141
Unit of Chemistry: Li-ion
Nominal capacity: 56.16 Wh
Design voltage: 10.80 V
When I click on the button "Battery maintenance", the system stops. No prompt "Windows is shutting down", it's as if someone pulled the plug without battery inside.
System Stats:
Windows 7 Edition Home Premium x 64
6 GB of Ram
HARD DRIVE 500 GB
Battery stats:
Bar code #: 1192P1142Z1ZEAV7C118S
FRU P/N: 92 P 1141
ASM P/N: 92 P 1142
What I don't understand, is why I only got 19 cycles of the battery. Would it be a bad battery? I ran the Battery Recall program to see if mine was one that was recalled, but he said that it is not. The system never actually ran off the power to the battery for more than 20 minutes (we had a power outage because the pole transformer blew).
Any help is appreciated.
A battery at least 20% charge remaining should be an easy score for $10 or more. If you use it to dock, he will serve only as a backup and could save your hardware and your data while keeping the system crashing in a situation of loss of power. You can then install power manager for Hibernate or shout down after that 1 min on, so your battery enough to make success must stop.
Generic batteries are another option, just do not get fakes unbranded, they tend to ignite.

Hello
I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 7.1.2 who must break with the battery problem almost entirely.
I don't know if it's a hardware problem, but I hope that it is a software problem so I will try to do everything as my possible to isolate and software problem.
I did a reset on iOS, but it does not solve. The next step should involve a DFU reset using iTunes but it will update my iPhone to iOS 9 and as far as I know it will turn my iPhone unusable.
The other possibility is it back to iOS 6.1.3 but it won't, I must do a restore to iOS 9 which will be a problem.
Yes, is there something I can do without updating to iOS 9?
What makes you think this update to iOS 9 will make useless iPhone?

Satellite U940 - battery problem
Hi, my battery LED doesn't turn on when it is plugged. My laptop is plugged in but does not support. AC adapter works fine. Is this a battery problem? Do I have to buy a new battery?
Is this a battery problem?
No doubt...
Do I have to buy a new battery?
If there is battery failure, the battery should be replaced.
But if your warranty is valid I recommend asking an ASP in your country for assistance... perhaps it could be replaced in warranty... -
"Erase content and settings" help battery problems?
Battery life of my iPhone of 6 has problems. All of a sudden, the battery started to die very quickly. Sometimes my iPhone at 30% and I have to keep it on the charger for most of the day. Will help to "erase all content and settings '?
If some app is the origin of the battery problem, then the clear operation will help, because it gets rid of all applications. If its still bad after the operation to clear and without restoring from a backup, then it's a hardware problem.

Satellite P300-172 battery problems
Hello.
Hope you all had a good Christmas and can hopefully help out me.
I bought a laptop P300-172 awhile back.
Now, even after the sinking of a large number of power settings, the battery life was poor.So I ordered a replacement from ebay (part 3rd battery) the battery is identical to the Toshiba battery in everyway of course the only difference is there was not an a toshiba.
in any case, when the battery arrived I plugged it and the battery LED came on to show that he was charging, when I booted up my laptop (with vista) windows showed that there was no battery connected, I thought strange. But I did back and let it load, after an hour or two charging orange led started flashing which it never did.
Still, I booted up vista and windows showed there is no battery connected. I have contcated the seller and assumes that the battery was faulty, as chance would have, he repaid the article and I went back to the normal toshiba battery.
I had another battery, ordered through work and that is identical in every way, once again, except that it was another 3rd party battery and which does exactly the same thing.
Can anyone help?
I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS (3.9) and have tried many steps as leaving the laptop without the battery for 30 minutes and then insert the battery. update the bios.
Well that's about all I can think and have read through the forums.
I appreciate may give any information you guys! Sorry for the long message.
If I were you I wouldn't assume more battery problems and return the phone to the place of purchase, if you can.
The problem is out of your control, as you have tried multiple batteries. Just give him place of purchase to watch. Then less grief for you.
Good luck.

Re: Satellite T - battery problems
My laptop battery will not charge when connected to the power terminal. I also have to remove the battery to turn on the laptop, it turns with the battery connected.
Can someone give me some advice or do I have to return the battery?
Hello
The warranty is valid?
If so, then get in touch with a local ASP because I m not quite sure if it s only a battery problem.Usually if the battery would be affected so you should always be able to turn on the unit.
I think there could be something wrong that should be checked by an ASP.Good luck

Similar experiences to mine, please?
After using no not my Tecra for some time (about 3 months). He was once again the charger for more than 24 hours and I'm now done with the original problem, I had the last time I used the Tecra, several months ago! The problem is, I think, only related to the tent to use it on battery, as follows:
At the start of the machine of 'cold', after passing the request of 'password' screen, it goes straight to a "small blue screen", which includes the message:
Hardware malfunction
Call your provider of support material
NMI: channel check / IOCHK
The system stopped *.
A little more information, I found that I can actually 'blue screen' situation - turn off not having don't no need to remove it battery that I first thought - and if I get the power cable then everything starts up well and seems to work normally. If I then remove the power cable (leaving the laundry to run on battery only) the small blue screen and same message reappears.
Yet once which seems to indicate a battery problem, I guess?
Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Hello
Windows may indicate a fundamental error messages only when material occurrence malfunction, so that the elimination of the errors can be difficult for equipment problems. Most of the problems of material step in connection with the motherboard, the main memory on a motherboard or adapter or the stamp on a motherboard or adapter.
On this path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem. I don't know how old is the unit, but if the unit is still under warranty I advice you contact service partner chartered. I'm sure they can find what may be the cause of this problem.
Good bye

Satellite Pro A120 battery problem
Hi all
I have a portable Satellite Pro A120 and is a battery problem a month ago.
The battery is not new, but recently changed, 6 months ago.
Until a few weeks ago, it lasted about 2 hours when full load, until this time
suddenly dropped 30-40 minutes.
In addition, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's a few extra vibrations,
for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.I initially though that there was a problem with the battery or the battery contacts, but they seem ok.
I tried to unload it in my laboratory of the company with a power resistance: resistance absorbed 1A continuously for more than 3 hours. As the specification 4400mAh battery, I would say that the battery is ok.Is it possible that I have a problem with the battery inside the pc management circuit?
The battery stress test above seems to show that the charging process is ok. So the problem might be with
the provision of monitor or battery power.
Someone at - it experience of similar problems and maybe a solution.
Or perhaps a work around? As excluding the battery monitoring and auto turn offThanks in advance
Concerning> Is it possible I have a problem with the battery inside the pc management circuit?
Perhaps, but that's just a guess only a cellphone technician may provide an exactly the answer to this question.> Furthermore, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's some additional vibration.
for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.It is very strange, I want to say if the contacts of the battery and the battery would be ok, this symptom shouldn't its sounds strange for me, so maybe that's the key why battery don't not lasts more than 30-40 min
However, I think you should try a new battery before checking the motherboard.

Yoga Pro 3: battery problem
Hello
my 4 month old Yoga Pro 3 just start having some battery problems:
The State of the battery indicates 0%, even if I've charged for 3 hours. No change. If I unplug the charging cable, it crashes. (Orange light, saying no autonomy here)
I rebooted, updated to the most recent State and also tried the 30 sec method, proposed in this topic (Klick me).
Can someone please advise what to do? Is it a hardware problem or software?
Thank you very much!!
Danke

I had a battery problem (the known: battery says 100% and suddenly falls to 0% and close) and in September, I sent my computer to Lenovo. It takes about 6-7 weeks so that the battery needs to be replaced. My guarantee also had to be extended, but was not. Now, my battery has exactly the same problem. I don't want my battery to replace again: it takes too long and I can't wait that long again. Can someone help me please to solve this problem?
Thank you.

I bought this laptop about 2 or 3 months ago and everything went on pretty well until this battery problem has occurred. First, he got stuck on 33%. It did not matter how long I charge. It has always been 33%. Then he began to fall little by little. Now it is stuck on 29%. Do you have any suggestions? Please help me.
have you tried that?
-disconnect the mains supply, remove the battery - if it is not internal, press the power button / stop for 30-40 seconds and try again.
also, try to re - install management supply (remove/reboot/reinstall computer) or reset (the second icon mini battery) battery meter
