The battery still connected

Hello

I have X 230 with battery 6 cells. Now most of the time the laptop is connected to the power supply. What is the best power plan to keep the battery in good condition?

should I remove the battery?

Thank you

Abed.

What I do is I click on battery lenovo button and set it to start to load when my battery is less than 85% and stops when it hits 89% load. This prevents go through so many other cycles of battery I think.

  • Satellite U series: Question about bypassing the battery when connected on AC

    Hi, I am a bit newbie to PC Toshiba laptop (series U) and I was wondering if my laptop has this feature where it bypasses the battery when it is fully charged and the power supply cable is connected?
    I see the battery blue led is on even when it is fully charged and the power is connected, it means that my computer is still using the battery?

    I'm running a lot and I will not waste my battery life.
    Thanks for any comments.

    Hello

    Congratulations on your new machine, I understand that worried you´re for your battery life. I was scared too, but a lot of people here in the forum told me that, in each new machine for many years (i.e. about 6 to 9 years) almost every laptop has an electronic charge that regulates the process of charge of the battery.

    Don t worry, if your battery is fully charged, the built-in charging circuit is a special State that is as "cool cool" to maintain your battery and to protect the battery.
    S better to keep the battery in the machine then removing it.

  • Laptop crashes after the battery is connected, must charge laptopn until I use it... irritating

    My laptop caused a lot of problems and I don't know why. This is beacause of my driver problem? By the way, my laptopn was bought in year 2007 while the driver is old enough so it's because of my driver? My battery seems fine, I bought it not too long because my previous charged was broken and the new charger autour cost $99.So can someone help me?

    You have a hardware problem-the battery, the charge adapter, the connections between then, or maybe even something else (I can't say without testing).  It is possible the battery you bought is not exactly compatible with your system, if it was not EXACTLY the same battery.  I recommend that take you to a repair shop of computer good reputation for service and a diagnosis of the problem.  You could also send it to the manufacturer for service.  Compare the costs, the calendar, warranties, parts availability, reputation and any other factor consider you important and make your choice.

    Why are removing you the battery in any way - why isn't she always left in the laptop and the charger plugged in during the night (even if the system is stopped) in order to regain full battery charge and this problem never occurs (even if you still have a problem that needs to be fixed - at least irritation will decrease until get you it fixed)?

    And what driver are you talking about?  You said nothing about what driver for this device or is that the problem or when it occurs or when he started or whatever it is - and we have need to know these things to help.

    I hope this helps.  Please answer the questions above before repair in case we discover another possible cause that can avoid this need.

    Good luck!

  • Tecra S3 - how long the battery still works under normal conditions of use?

    I have Tecra S3, I know the duration of battery power under normal conditions of use. It does not work for more than 80 80. It is still new to laptop.

    Hello

    AFAIK the Tecra S3 has been delivered with the battery 4700mAh standard.
    The Tecra S3 also supports other high capacity batteries. For example:

    PA3509U-1BRM 9-cell Li-ion 7050mAh
    PA3357U-3BRL 12Cell Li - ion 8800mAh

    These batteries are much stronger than the standard battery and should works more than 80 min.
    Additional if you think that there is something wrong with your battery life then I would recommend contacting the Toshiba service partner for the control of that party. But like I said above; These large capacity batteries are working longer than the standard battery.

  • Satellite A500 - Remove the battery when connected to the network?

    Hello

    I bought a new Satellite 500 and I would use it as much as possible. I'm not sure the stage of development of this battery. Should I remove the battery when I use the laptop at all times with the net supply?
    Or this does not damage the battery longer years yet there is, or is the problem of the destruction of the battery because of the heat and being reloaded frequently persists?

    I'm sorry if I could post to redundantly, but it is difficult to search for information, since I'm not a native speaker.
    I encourage you just for a small tip for a related thread if available.

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    To be honest, I often work with connected AC/DC adapter, but I never removed my battery. Sometimes I decide to work in another room and then I just unplug the AC adapter and that s all the! :)

  • Satellite A110 battery does not & will not work if the battery is connected

    Hello

    I will try to regain control of the situation quite clearly.

    Product: Toshiba Satellite A110-149

    Works fine on AC adapter / CC (Eve just a summary of the problem but because of Gentoo Linux, this used to work under Windows XP)

    Original battery was dead. Not only there is no charge, but with this battery and the AC adapter absolutely nothing, not a single LED. No need to mention that I couldn't turn on the computer.

    Bought a new battery at Eforcity.com
    -Replace: PA3465U-1BRS | 10.8V | 6600mAh (71Wh)

    With this new battery and the AC adapter plugged in, I have the green power led and lighted orange recharge. But even after 8 hours and the computer off of the battery did not charge.
    If I try to turn on the computer with this new battery in and the AC adapter is plugged in it starts to run, but after awhile it stops automatically, no question weather I start or enter the BIOS.

    BIOS is Phoenix v1.50 and reset the default settings.
    Also, downloaded the last OS independent 1.70 - WIN (bios - 20090121162419.zip), but is there a way to update without Windows?

    I tried to just unplugged and press the power button several times (last test, I continued pressing more than 2 minutes for what counts)

    I have clean the contacts with alcohol.

    Would it be because of a fuse or capacitor I could replace myself or something?

    Any help would be grateful.

    Kind regards
    Charly

    Hello

    I'm not quite sure what happened to the laptop, but first of all you need to know that laptop m should feed and must run properly if the AC adapter is plugged.
    The isn t battery required to power the unit if the power adapter provides power for the laptop.

    So if ONLY the battery would be affected, the unit must always turn sector.

    This is why I think that its a serious hardware issue for example motherboard problem.

  • C50D-A-12R satellite does not power up if the battery connected

    Hello!!!

    I am writing this message cause I was using my laptop and sudenlly it shuts. At first, I didn't know why, I tried to turn it on by pressing the botton, but I failed. Then, I thought I had the battery charger unplugged, but it wasn't. After a few minutes I took the battery and connect the charger, then my laptop run.

    I spend a few hours searching on the Web sites about problems with the battery charger o, and I find that my laptop doesn't recognize the battery cause of pilots o something like this, so I ASK FOR HELP!
    Now, I can only use my laptop if one take out the battery and plug the charger.

    If anyone knows what might happened to my laptop, Please HELP.

    I forgot, my laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C50D-A-12R.

    P.D. sorry my English, I'm from the Spain and several years ago, I finally study English.

    In General, the laptop should work fine in connection with and without the battery.
    The unit should turn on if the battery is removed but connected to the power adapter.

    Also if the battery is connected and worn, the unit should operate without the power adapter connected.
    So what is wrong here? To be honest, I don't think there could be some sort of driver but first of all problems that you should try to recover the laptop to factory settings just to check if the device works by using the preinstalled Toshiba OS and settings.

    If the device does not work properly even after the recovery process, I recommend checking the functionality of the laptop as part of the NEW pile of good work.

    Your device is still covered by the warranty?
    If so, you should communicate with the Toshiba ASP because in case of hardware problems, ASP you should fix free device...

  • Satellite on L9W Mini - B - couldn't pass it until the battery is completely discharged

    Hello

    I have the following problem with my Satellite click Mini L9W - B - happened already twice.

    I suspect that this may be connected to a Windows 8.1 setting. It may also be that it is BIOS associates.

    PROBLEM: if I leave the phone in standby mode (by simply close the lid), then if I do not use it for a while (> 10 hours) and then after that I could not turn on laptop - it simply does not meet all the keys including the power on button. It does not matter that I connect the power or unplug it, I still can't turn on the laptop, as it doesn't matter I have try with or without connected keyboard. BUT: the battery on the back on the screen is hot, so of course the laptop is not off completely and something (i.e. windows sleep mode or bios or something else) keeps me to turn it on.

    The solution I have at the moment is to leave the laptop for a very long period offline (to drain the battery completely - it will be not hot not more!) and then connect the power and then it will be able to turn it on. Otherwise, open the cover of the screen and manually disconnect the battery and connecting it then still also work. After that, the laptop can be marketed and works very well.

    Of course, it is not very good because to wait very long (several days!) or to open the lid isn't really a good option when you need the laptop!

    Can you help me?

    Maybe it's something to do with some Windows power saving features?

    Thank you very much!

    There is a quick fix rather than wait for the battery drain...

    Hold down the power button / stop for about 20-30 seconds. That the material should turn off power completely allowing you to turn it back on.

    Updated the bios with the latest version and apply all windows updates after that, it can solve the problem of sleep bug

  • Nex6 do not charge the battery

    I recently bought a Nex 6. After charging the battery, I went out to take pictures. I used it until the device displays stack "exhausted" and me has failed to take more pictures.

    Once back, I charged all night and the battery is still charged. the camera always shows 'battery exhausted', I noticed that every time it when I connect the charger micro USB to camera for this, seeing him load a few seconds then turns off. There is no flicker.

    Can I have a bad battery? I just bought two days back so I don't think that the battery is old.
    No idea how can I charge the battery?

    Ashish

    Hi Ashish,

    Make sure that you use the provided micro USB cable for camera NEX6 to load.
    Additionally, make sure that the battery is correctly inserted in the camera.

    Remove the battery and reinsert.
    If the charge indicator doesn't light up or flashes during charging, make sure that the metal contacts are free of any foreign body that can prevent the load. Use a dry cloth to wipe the dust or any other material on the battery terminals.

    Turn the switch to OFF while loading the battery. If the switch is on, the camera is unable to charge the battery.
    If you have tried to charge the battery by connecting to a computer, then try to connect the AC adapter provided to the micro USB cable and a power outlet.
    After charging for a few minutes, try to turn on the camera to check if the battery is properly charged.

    If the issue is still unresolved, the service may be required. Click the link status & repair for repair options available.

  • Satellite A100 PSAA9C does not work without the battery inside

    I'm having a strange problem with a laptop Satellite A100 (PSAA9C-SK900E).

    The machine will not work without the battery in it. If the power supply is connected in the machine and the wall, it will power without the battery installed. If I install the battery, let it load completely (battery LED goes from orange to blue and the plug LED is blue) then start the machine it will work for a period of time (more than an hour depending on what I'm doing) then suddenly turns off.

    If I restart the machine, it will work for a very short period (sometimes only for a few minutes) just before going off.

    If I do this a couple times, the machine will be not even by post before turning off.
    If I let the machine to recharge, it runs for a while and then do the same thing after using it for a while.
    If the battery is pooched, which is fine with me. How to operate with only the power supply of the machine?

    As I type this I'm suspecting that the adapter cannot be taken out the required voltage/amperage. (adapter is not still hot when charging, are my other laptops) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    If I understand your assignment, the laptop does not power up without the battery
    But it will light if the battery is connected.

    The question is; Is the power led on if the AC adapter is plugged?
    If this isn't the case, then it means that the power adapter is faulty and so the laptop cannot be turned on by using only the AC adapter.

    I think you should test a new adapter. Maybe it helps!

  • Satellite U300 turns off when the battery has been removed

    Hello

    I'm on the laptop with the battery in place, and the power supply plugged in.
    That's when I take off the battery (always plugged power) who, after 5 seconds the laptop powers off.

    It's not happened before and now it happens ALL the time every time I have to remove the battery.
    I noticed that when the battery is removed, the battery light is always on – if for some reason any cell phone still thinks the battery is connected.

    For me, it looks like an electronic power supply problem.

    But it s just my personal opinion

    I think that the laptop should be checked by an authorized technician.

    Contact the ASP in your country and ask for verification

    If the warranty is valid then an everything should be done for free

    Good bye

    Hello JoPerez:

    GoTo this page: http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5060881&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4058 there once Utility Tool page goto. Expand it and third a low install Battery Check (Intetnational). This wil let us know if it is software issues by reinstalling the software will write more corrupt software. You have a new battery which destroys a dead battery. Now you have reinstalled the software for this. If it still does not work. Then you know that it is a matter of internal material. That your computer needs minor repairs done on the subject. Could be a burnt wire or wire connection loose a computer repair man would know. Don't let not a Direct HP support because their services are vary bad and very expensive. Trust in me as my computers always returned in a worse state, and then they went to. Six times my HP Touchsmart 600-1050 went in back to back repairs. Seventh time I took my repairman of local computer and bought a good one used to repair damage caused by a Direct HP support and rebuild the computer so I could have a good computer for work.  An estimate in the front when you take it for repairs. If you bought at best buy do not take it for them because they will ship it back to HP Support live also so you end up paying double amount.  You're welcome frrw.
