Tecra Z40 - A - 16 c - indicator battery life problem

Hello

As from 2015, I own a Toshiba Tecra Z40 - A - 16 c.

I noticed a strange behavior regarding the battery life indicator. When the laptop is fully charged, the indicator shows 100% remaining. And when I use the laptop, the percentage drops slowly, as expected.
However, as soon as somewhere around 50%, the indicator is suddenly decreases and says he has only 5 or 4% left and I should switch it on immediately.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Kind regards
Oliver

The battery may need calibration. Load and unload completely several times.

If it happens again, the battery needs replacing. You can check the level of wear using HWMonitor from cpuid.com.

  • Tecra M2 - battery meter / battery life problem

    When running on the battery, in the beginning, he suggests some 3 hours with 100%, but after less than an hour, the system suddenly goes to sleep.

    I have more warning 'low level '. Shares of Toshiba Power Saver are set up for alarm to go to standby at 10% and 20%. This corresponds to the settings under control panel / power options.
    I tried a new battery, but the symptoms are exactly the same.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    During the use of the laptop, the battery loses the own performance after the long period of use of your battery will show that it s is fully charged, but he will lose much faster clean power. There is nothing unusual and will happen sooner or later.

    My battery is about 5 years old and it shows it s 100% charged but it lasts for about 2 min, then it s completely empty.
    In this case only the new battery can solve this problem

  • A60 battery life problem

    I bought 2 new A60 for my kids for Christmas and both seem to have a problem, when you use the battery they get only about 25-30 minutes of use even does not under all programs. This is after you have disconnected the electrical system with battery 100% showing. Is there a setting I need to change or is it a problem. Two laptop computers were required for 24 hours and not used for first opening.

    Hi Alan,

    I think this isn't a big problem. It is possible to check the settings in the properties of energy-saving. There, you can do some settings power off.

    Click Start > Control Panel > Toshiba Power Saver Properties. Chose the Normal called profile.
    On the right side, check all power off settings.

    If you doubt that the battery can be default, contact Toshiba Service partner and I'm sure that you will get a new.

    Good bye

  • Tecra A3 battery life

    Product specifications for tecra a3 in this website indicates 3.46 hours-mobile brand. I get less than that, although enough to watch a movie. Can I know what this sheet is based-maybe a battery high capacity and the battery supplied with the camera?

    Hello

    the battery life depends on how much power setting you use in battery mode. 3.46 hours can be achieved only at the lowest setting. Another thing is that not all batteries of the same type same time (normally only slight differences). And after a while in use, the battery life will decrease until eventually it stops working (in some years).

    But maybe your battery is not working properly just and must be replaced.

  • Experiences over seven years with the battery life in laptop computers Tecra

    Seven years ago, I bought a Tecra 780DVD, five years ago a Tecra 8100 and two years ago a Tecra S1. They re all still in regular use and I ve used now six packs of lithium ion batteries. My experience suggests that these four guidelines are worth observing:

    1. it is preferable to the hibernation and remove the battery if the laptop will be inactive for more than 2 or 3 days.
    2 operating time vary a lot between the samples of battery even with the same operating conditions.
    3 leave the charger plugged in with the full light on doesn't seem to hurt (despite some of the recommendations).
    4. better is not the first time, that it is unable to charge the battery of junk. The trick described below may reset the battery and get more useful life out of it.

    Tecras see the end of battery life by battery light flashes orange or stay off when you try to reload. Last week when I returned from vacation what happened the 780 (now the WiFi print server) and I felt like déjà vu because all 4 batteries (three on the 780) and the other on the 8100 that I ve had previously fail expired the same way they failed to charge after 7 to 14 days of hibernation with the battery left in. In my view, that it can hardly be a coincidence.

    I still had another 780 old farm and an old battery for 8100 that both failed about two years ago I did some tests. The batteries two 780 showed 10-11 volts on a voltmeter, but when I put them in the laptop and plugged in the charger, the led load always flashed. However, when I plugged the laptop battery already started the grid only, the hanging lamp orange and after an hour or two went green.

    I think this shock treatment can have done in battery electronics forget they were supposed to be dead. Anyway, I did with all three batteries and then ran to see how long d last. The results were:

    (1) the 780 battery failed last week (after 36 months used) can now run the laptop for an hour.
    (2) the 8100 battery (with the active service of 16 months, but 'believed dead' for two years) will now run for 10 minutes or more.
    (3) the 780 battery believed dead for two years (after 19 months used) appears to load but t does not work the laptop. Half of the battery ended up hot and half cold, so now I guess that it s really dead.

    Hoping others will compare notes, I've summarized below how long my battery packs lasted before they refused to pay more.

    Tecra780DVD:
    Original battery: 30 months (discarded too soon. Might have gotten more if I had tried to trick reset).
    First replacement: 19 months (stored for two years, after which reset didn't work).
    Second alternative: 36 months (after reset now works for an hour).

    Tecra 8100:
    Original battery: 16 months (stored for 2 years. After reset now lasts 10 minutes).
    First replacement: 41 months and always well run.

    Tecra S1:
    Original battery: 29 months and always well run.

    All are genuine Toshiba and operating conditions are quite similar for all. Laptops tend to run 4-8 hours per day with the charger plugged and maybe half an hour on battery only. Sometimes we forget and the charger remains connected all night.

    I m now wish I d tried the trick of reset on all batteries as soon as they failed, but at least I seem to have rescued two batteries. Even a moment of execution as short as 10 min is useful on a laptop that s especially power sector. It protects against power failure and you can keep your battery in the fridge until you need it for a trip.

  • Tecra M2, battery life

    Got this lappy a week ago (dothan 1.6, video 512/60/64)
    All right, but I am concerned about the life of the battery of the standard package.

    Once fully charged, it shows a little less then 3 hours of work.

    Then time falls rather quickly. 90% ago 02:24
    Manufacturer and several critics claim that the battery life should be at least 4 hours.

    I reinstalled Toshiba Power Management. Then XP asked to reinstall common Modules.
    However, it did not help much.

    Can I have a broken battery or this longevity is good for this machine?

    My old laptop had a utility of calibration of the configuration of the BIOS battery.
    Is there somewhat similar? It seems that the system reads value battery incorrectly.

    To Check first, Toshiba site and Microsoft for any update of the operating system or drivers that can help.

    About the battery life, I know on older batteries, they worked as how you mentioned.

    They lists only a change of time remaining at certain times of the battery.

    For example, it can declare 100% for 30 minutes, but then drop to 50% all of a sudden.

    But this has happened on NiCad batteries because they lacked a "smart" sensor in the battery to detect small changes.

    The battery you have is a Li-ion, so this problem should not exist.

    Depending on what you were doing at the time and what power management settings you put in, this will also play a role in how fast your battery drains.

    Have the wireless on when you don't have not wireless configuration will drain more quickly the battery.

    Playing a CD / DVD, watching movies & games all drip the battery more quickly.

    Power management settings, if the value of 'Always On', it will cause the CPU to run at full speed, even on battery.

    This is a BIG drain on the battery, while leaving the brightness of the LCD on MAX.

    Check your settings, make sure that it has defined for the laptop and try to get down your glow.

    If these suggestions do not help, it is possible that you have a defective battery, if so you may want to get it replaced.

    Good luck!

  • Tecra M3: Question about the length of battery life

    I used to have a M2 which had a battery life of approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes. Last January, I had a M3 and was surprised it was only 1:30 running just Word and a memory low music program. Closing of the screen and running the program of music made him until 1:45. I thought it was because he had a faster processor, etc., but two of my friends also had Toshibas and they thought it was a battery problem.
    So what is the battery life of the 1.83 GHZ M3 supposed to be?

    Hello

    According to the description of the unit, the battery should run about 3 hours.
    But the battery working time depends on many different things, and this isn't a precise value. CA? s very important how you use Notepad, what programs are running, how old is the battery, how devices run is together, etca? ¦
    In this case generally Ca? s not easy to tell if the battery has a fault or not.

  • Tecra Z40 - A - the upgrade (RAM RAM)

    Hi all

    Ordered little RAM to upgrade my Toshiba Tecra Z40 - A, but can not find, for the life of me, anything where you want to insert online.

    I previously installed RAM under the keyboard (couple of clips holding it) and on the other, a small cover on the bottom, but the Z40 does not appear to be anywhere easily accessible.

    Has anyone upgraded RAM on the Z40? Or is it a big no, no, because of the guarantee?

    Thank you
    Lance

    Memory upgrade on this model Tecra is a bit complicated and, in my view, should not be done by the owner of the laptop. For some models of Ram upgrade can be done by the owner of the laptop and exact instructions how do proposed in document s user manuals, but not for your Tecra.

    For full access to the RAM modules lower lid should be removed and it can be done by people of service only. If you do this alone you can void the warranty valid.
    I recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider in your country and ask for help or advice.

    Hi jester

    In my opinion, there are many different opinions on this subject. I use my Tecra nearly two years without the battery and it is always very good. One of my friends uses Satellite P20 and removes battery while working at home.

    You can remove it, but I think you also sometimes use the laptop just with battery power supply.

  • Satellie A100-999: what is the battery life expectancy

    Just a quick question. I have an A100-999, the cheapest of three laptops I have, but for me the best. I wasjust wondering where I could find out average battery life of long life, I just bought.

    Hello

    Generally all battery information must be indicated in the manual of the user which is preinstalled on your laptop.
    It of also very important to know, that the battery life depends on the use of the laptop.
    Using heavy performance and additional features like ODD will decrease the battery working time.
    So in these cases, it s is not easy to say the exactly the time of battery life.
    The laptop came with the standard 4000mAh battery. If you want to use the laptop for a long time, you can buy a stronger battery.

  • Battery plugged in but no load and battery life which is at 0%, but the battery is 89-90% charged.

    I have a laptop gateway that I bought last year.  It runs Windows Vista Premium (64-bit), and recently it has been send me load/battery indication problems.  The battery becomes a burden, but the battery monitor does not indicate correctly.  I watched it one day and it loaded up to 89-90% and then the battery monitor indicated 0% and not charging.  When I restart the laptop the charge indicates correctly around 89-90% and will show correctly when it is plugged in.  Once he reached 89-90% charge once again it comes back to life 0% battery and plugged in and not charging.  I tried the battery re - learn and when it reaches the level of 89% it stops and shows a surge of battery, but if you restart the pc it will state the cost of 89% and act normal.   I tried the procedure that I saw on this site earlier with the functioning of the battery all the way down and let the pc "die" on its own, but that still does not work.  Is there a problem with the software in the package of windows vista power control?  I saw at least another person having the same problem but have seen no response or resolution for this.  It is not the connection motherboard problem because the thing is load and works normally except when, if you try to load up once he reached that magic level, it indicates a 0% charge and plugged in and not charging.  I have signed up for a profile on this site and have been typing this message with remaining 0% battery Xantrex battery life reading.

  • Battery life

    Someone else has problems with how long does the battery last? I just bought mine yesterday and the battery life is very short. I am very disappointed. He had a full charge to 01:00 and I put it and when I woke up at 7:30, it was like 26%.

    Hello

    Battery life varies depending on use and other factors.

    During tests, for example, Apple has reached 18 hours of battery life with the next use: 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of usage of the app and a workout of 30 minutes with Apple Watch Bluetooth music playback.

    Other examples are available here:
