The battery lasts only 5.5 hours - possible they sent incorrect battery?

So I like my laptop, it's great, but I think the battery is much less than advertised. I used it today to see how long it lasts on battery and it was announced about 5.5 hours instead of 15 hours.

I have the T430 with discrete graphics, but I think that it remains inactive unless I do something intense. Basically, I'm just looking internet, chat, Twitter. I had like 15-20 tabs open however.

If it's important, I upgraded to 256 GB SSD, 16 GB of RAM and a 7200 RPM drive HARD UltraBay.

Is it possible that I was sent to the battery 6 cells instead of 9 cells? How can I check?

Hi sens_adnan,

If you delete ther battery, on the left hand side is the lenovo logo.

Below is the part # for your battery.

If the part # is: 45N1007, then your battery has 6 cells

    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 of the life of the battery when using different are available here:

    If your watch is shorter battery life than would suggest examples of Apple that you should expect, try the following steps, which have helped to solve the problems of the battery life for some users:

    • If you have ever used the soft training and/or any third party fitness tracking workouts Records (for example, Strava) apps on your watch, check on your watch to see if there is currently activity paused in the any of these applications. If there is, put an end to this activity of this application on your watch (not on your iPhone).
    • Under earlier versions of the software, some users have reported problems with battery life in the framework using profiles and/or Exchange calendars. If you use an Exchange calendar, can help to one or more of the following:
      • Check your Exchange calendar for all items before today.
      • Delete / delete all old messages related to the prompt calendar Inbox (accept and refuse notifications).
      • Create a rule in your email account Outlook moves future all accept and reject responses as they are received, in a separate e-mail folder that will not sync with your iPhone and Apple Watch.
      • Consult your Exchange calendar to find errors.
    • Finally, it can help to remove all third-party applications on your watch and then monitor the performance of the battery after you have added back, one at a time. It is the same regarding complications of watch face.

    After trying the above steps, if your watch continues discover much shorter battery life than suggest examples of Apple you should expect, contact Apple support (mail service may be available) or make a Genius Bar reservation in order to have your watch checked, if recommended by Apple (warranty, if it qualifies):

  • In the last few days my xt720 run hot and the battery to last for only 4 hours

    I don't know what happened to my XT720 but since 2 days my phone is running more hot than usual in the back between xeon flash and plate "xeon 8.0.

    I think it should be the domain of the CPU

    I tried to remove the battery several times, but it does not help

    Now, I have disabled all the synchronizations and data exchange, off WIFI and basic GPS (but I used to have my phone with this setting turned on for several weeks) and still no improvement.

    The phone is good work and looks like there is just an application of high power of the CPU for something.

    I would try a reset of the device factory to check if some sw or fw settings has been the cause of this new bad behavior.

    Do you think that it's worth to try it, or is it better to get in touch with Motorola customer service to request a check (my phone has only 3.5 months of life)

    Thank you

    Marco

    Resolved after a factory reset!

    In fact, I would suggest that a reset from factory to everyone feels that the battery of the XT720 wouldn't last as expected.

    I have my phone unplugged and mode intelligence (with active Gmail) from 9 h 42 m and the battery is still at 70%

    This is a very positive behavior from the last days where my battery low runned after about 4 h.

    It is also a good way to assess the potential of the stand-by battery and could be a way to compare the real potential of vanilla by a custom filter (widget, screensaver, desktop direct current) and think that if it is worth to keep the customization and the battery life let go.

    Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop! Please don t forget!
    All power needs; Graphics card to disc, CD/DVD, HARD disk

    If you run some applications of high performance battery power will be increased.
    Are you using Vista?

    Vista is wasting the energy of the battery! He needs a lot more power because the Microsoft OS initially as XP Pro or MCE.

  • Battery Drain on the IPhone 6s tried all what my batterery usually lasts a full 24 hours 6 now even not help

    Tried most everything on the IPhone 6s battery drain because I've updated also OS 9.3.2 my battery went from Excellent too horrible will appreciate greatly any help too recti this question

    Have what troubleshooting you tried? First, go to settings > farm and see what app is listed as using the highest percentage of your battery. You may have a blocked process that seeks to complete. How is - what report you? Weak signal will also cause a drain in the battery. Troubleshooting user steps include reboot, reset, restore from backup, restore to factory; tests after each stage. If you get all the way to the factory restore, make sure that you have a current backup of the phone and after the restoration, test before adding additional content to the device. This can help to rule out software problems.

  • Early MacBook Pro - battery (old and new) lasts only 45 min

    Early macbook pro 13 "

    -Autonomy had become terrible, about 30 mins web browsing, the warning came on she was less than 80%, or whatever the threshold is battery.  To obtain the life expectancy of 6 to 8 hours.  I have owned since new, no spills or drops.  Its duty cycle is 8 hours on a charger, then 3-4 hours on battery every day of the week and another 2-3 hours on battery power the weekend followed by a full charge.

    -New battery installed 2 months ago was better than the nominal capacity, coconut reports 6109 mah capacity

    -New battery lasts about 45 min to 0% before web browsing and stops without warning or sleep.

    -Reset each possible controller, SMC, PRAM, etc.  No change.

    -Ran, he died 3 or 4 times and then fully charged hoping that it would be to calibrate itself, no chance.

    -Inspect the process etc. but the CPU usage is very low, only thing of note is because I'm on 10.6.8 the standard memory leak safari is still there, so must be restarted regularly, javascript is disabled.  Firefox takes about the same amount of time browsing and has a blocker javscript.  I have not installed flash.

    -Battery coco brings about 10 watts of power use while the battery is drained.  A quick calculation shows 5000 + mah used in 35 minutes isn't 10 watts so obviously, coconut is not reporting correctly.

    -Refill after low drain lasts about the same as usual, about 2 hours if I use the machine, an hour or so if his asleep.  Lived a few Chargers because of pines stick and blend.

    -The only other issue I noticed is from time to time with an external monitor connected so that the navigation in safari with Javascript, if you press some ads, the two screens in the black for a second and the computer screen will resume blurred with colors and lines, while the external display is fine. An error is recorded on the console (don't remember what it is) and then the screen is scrambled feeding, recorded increases of the coconut and the machine gets hot.  Nothing is noted in the activity monitor.  Safari shut down, sleep and wake the machine clears the display problem.  By disabling javascript, this problem is not triggered.

    -My next step is to replace the charge Jack / ongoing in the Council, but I cannot find examples of this help other people.  Its pretty cheap but.

    D ' other ideas?

  • Satellite M50 - charges the battery only when stopped

    My Satellite M50 battery only when stopped. Does this mean that when I work I'm still running on batteries, which of course carry out completely after 1 to 2 hours. Then I shut down the computer and it started charging again (orange led), and after a few hours, I still have a 100% charged battery.

    Of course, this means that the computer is not available. Until a few weeks ago it used to have the same problem if I disconnected the power plug then reconnected it: the battery needed to dump then to 0%, even if the power is connected, but now the problem is constant.

    I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS, I could find and even completely reinstall windows from the recovery disks, but the problem is still there. The computer is a Toshiba Satellite M50 - 126 model PSM51E, the BIOS is Phoenix BIOS v2.10

    Is it possible that the BIOS is damaged of some sort? I tried to reinstall V2.10 but he told me that I have the same version and it will not be installed.

    Hi lartech,.

    You can recharge the battery if you get into the BIOS and made the battery charging icon light?
    Are you using the original Toshiba AC/DC adapter and battery?

    In the worst case, it s a malfunction of the motherboard, and you have done what you can do: BIOS update and to install Windows from the recovery disc. If this doesn't help s a bad hardware work.

  • Satellite L735-11f autonomy last only 3 hours

    my daughter satellite L735-11f autonomy last only 3 hours...
    is it a problem or do I need to replace the battery, or simply change a few settings?

    Hi Fred

    3 hours is really a good value for the working time of battery.
    Don t think that something is wrong with the battery.
    You should know that the battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
    The battery needed to dump more quickly if the laptop computer to operate with higher performance.

    Of course, you can change certain values in Win 7 power management to optimize the parameters of battery operation.

  • Satellite Pro L300-1AQ only to charge the battery while the phone is in use

    I have a Toshiba SP L300-1AQ.

    In the last month we started having problems with it quit unexpectedly, even on power outlet.
    This morning I used it for about a half hour. When I started the battery level was 39% full, so I plugged it into the outlet. The fire area on the front of the laptop came and taskbar in Windows icon showed it was plugged and load (battery light was orange).

    After half an hour, I checked the battery and it was down to 16%. I turned down the brightness of the screen to try to reduce energy consumption, but less than a minute at the level of the battery was down to 15%. The toolbar icon and power lights both still power showing tasks. The power adapter was cold to the touch. I expect that it is hot. It seems to me that the power adapter does not provide enough power to run the laptop and recharge the battery. If the laptop is in sleep mode, the battery may charge.

    We need a new power adapter?

    Thank you

    Nigel

    Hello

    It's really hard to say what the reason is but first of all, I think its hardware problem and not software related.
    Maybe the card mother doesn t charge battery problem more or the AC/DC adapter is defective. So can you test another adapter AC/DC to a friend for example? It would be interesting to know because if an AC/DC adapter works it seems to be a problem with the motherboard.

    I don t have Satellite Pro L300, I only Satellite L300 but it works really well and I can t notice a problem with the battery charging. It s all ok again :)

  • Satellite Pro L100 132: the battery is only 2000mA

    Hi all
    I bought the model L100-132. The battery is only 2000 mAh and lasts 1 hour. I turned off anything, the power set MAX_BATTERY saver, but it gives nothing. All the sites he says last for more than 2 hours, and some say it's almost 3: 00. OK, so if they have so long and then they gave me too little!

    I should not receive at least 4000 mAh?
    Maybe someone has this model with the same small battery?
    Please, answer if you can at [email protected]

    Thank you.

    Well, I think that the laptop will be delivered with a standard 2000mAh battery, but you can order a stronger battery with perspicuously much more performance.
    I visited and checked the site Web of Toshiba Options and accessories, and you may find additional batteries:

    Battery Pack (6 cells, 4300mAh) PA3399U-1BRS
    Battery (Li-ion, 4000mAh, 6 cells) PA3465U-1BRS
    Battery (Li-ion, 4000mAh 8-cell) PA3506U-1BRS
    Battery (Li-ion, 4300mAh, 8 cells) PA3457U-1BRS
    Battery high capacity Pack (Li-ion, 12 cells, 8600mAh) PA3400U-1BRS

    But in addition, you need to know the battery working time depends mainly on the use of the laptop.

    is it possible to show the life of the battery in percent and in hours and minutes in the taskbar? (Windows 7 64-bit)

    Energy saving does not support Windows 7, I think. Are there any other utility that can show battery info?

    Hello

    > not only in percentage battery life
    That s a feature! ;)

    The battery life on Vista and Windows 7 displayed in percent. If you want in hours and minutes too you must install an additional tool such as Notebook BatteryInfo. Use Google to find this program!
