When unplugged, battery still reads 100 percent, dies a few minutes

Whenever my Y40 is unplugged, the computer shows the battery to 100% and never decreases. A few minutes later, the computer will turn off and will start. When I plug back in and turn it on, it shows the battery is very low and load normally, then shortly after showing 100% fully charged (it isn't). I tried the system restore and the following, which I saw posted in several places:

"First of all, shut down the laptop, unplug the power adapter, remove the battery and then hold the Power button for 30 seconds.
Now plug the power adapter without the battery inserted, start Notepad, open windows control panel, open Device Manager, expand the entry for batteries, click right on and the Microsoft ACPI compatible with battery control method and select uninstall - do not uninstall anything else here. When the uninstall is complete, shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter, reinsert the battery and then start the laptop's battery. Windows will automatically reinstall the driver - leave Windows running for a few minutes and see if the battery level decreases as it should. »

I don't know where to go from here. I bought the computer last year and suddenly started questions recently. I recently installed Start Is Back, but the Advanced System Restore does not resolve the issue. I am running Windows 8.1 and everything seems to be up to date. Any advice?

In response to customer relationships of unexpected behavior portable Y40 - 70 and Y40-80 meter battery, Lenovo has determined that the battery meter software is working as expected. The unusual calibre results being reported are the reflection of the battery reaches the end of life.

  • Use of AC when the battery is at 100%? (S7-391)

    Hello world!

    I have been affected by the worst support from Acer, I have no problem with the ultrabook himself (Acer Aspire S7-391) but I have some doubts about pilots and other things, that they have avoided answering many ways. So, here's the thing:

    This ultrabook has all drivers that could be use the AC power when the battery charge reaches 100% to avoid tampering with the battery?

    The thing is that while I have 100% of the battery and the ultrabook is connected to the power adapter, it always seems to be draining the battery power and recharging it back to being 100% all the time.

    When I ask about the drivers, who might or might not be installed, I just need to find a way to access this functionality if possible, and if I can't, I need to know as soon as POSSIBLE so that I can start unplug the laptop right after that the battery has reached 100%.

    Thanks in advance.

    As you said with Connector 2 power pins can also disconnect the battery charge. It can disconnect the power supply from the battery charging circuit when the battery reaches a particular % with the laptop running load in power cables. I do not think that your computers support portable setting the level of charge of battery to a % custom. Your laptop must have a particular hardware and BIOS that supports. In some laptops, the BIOS has the ability to define a particular % of battery charge. I read somewhere that windows 8 do not support this feature, old version of windows (Vista) support this feature.

    Some write up I found online to help you.

    Memory effect

    First of all, it is necessary to unfold a myth that persists in the minds of many people.

    The effect of stack memory.

    In the basis of lithium batteries, it is in fact a myth, it applies only to the old nickel-based batteries. Therefore fully discharge and recharge the battery are completely useless and even harmful as discussed below.

    The modern lithium battery can be charged independently of its current percentage, because he has absolutely no negative effect in his performances.

    Should I remove the battery when the a/c is connected?

    Many users of portable computers have this question and we will answer it right now:

    The answer is: YES and NO, it depends on the situation.

    Have a fully charged battery and the laptop is connected is not harmful, because as soon as the load level of 100% of the battery stops receiving the energy load and this energy is shorted directly on the power of the laptop system.

    However, there is a downside to keep the battery in the holder when the laptop is plugged in, but only if he currently suffers from excessive warming caused by the hardware of the laptop.

    So:

    -In normal use, if the laptop does not get too hot (CPU and hard drive around 40 ° c to 50 ° c) the battery must remain into the Jack of the laptop;

    -Intensive use, which leads to a large amount of heat produced (i.e. games, temperatures over 60 ° c) the battery should be removed the socket in order to avoid unwanted heating.

    The heat between the fact that he has 100% load, is the great enemy of the lithium battery and not the plug, as many might think so.

    Battery discharging

    Full battery discharges (until the computer laptop power shutdown, 0%) should be avoided, because he insists a lot on the battery and may even damage it. It is recommended to perform partial discharge to levels of capacity of 20 ~ 30% and frequent accusations, instead of performing a complete discharge followed for a full charge.

    Laptop PC battery contain a gauge of capacity that allows us to know the exact amount of stored energy. However, due to the charge/discharge cycles, this sensor tends to be inaccurate overtime.

    Some laptops include in their BIOS, tools to recalibrate the battery meter, which is nothing else than a full discharge followed by a charge complete.

    So to calibrate the gauge, it is desirable, in all cycles 30 discharge, a full uninterrupted discharge, followed by a too, non-stop, full charge.

    An inaccurate gauge may have to the fact that the capacity of the battery are values are false. The battery can report that he still has 10% of capacity, when in fact it has a much lower value, and this causes the computer to the unexpected shutdown.

    Cycles of discharge (or charge) are to use this charge battery (100%), but not necessarily all at once.

    For example, you can use the laptop for a few minutes in a day, using half of its e ability then it load completely. If you did the same thing the next day, it can be considered a discharge cycle, not two, so it may take several days before finishing a complete discharge cycle.

  • Lenovo Y 40 - battery doesnot - shows 100%, but dies when disconnected

    Hi all

    It seems that a lot of people have this problem as I browse this forum.

    My Lenovo y40 is less than one year, so still on warranty. Recently (May 19) started having battery problems. It displays 100% charged, when it is plugged. But as soon as I unplug the charger, the battery empties quickly or turns off immediately.

    Other times, the battery is to remain in office and will stay on for a few hours. It is very intermittent, it seems that the laptop has trouble reading the current battery level.

    I have tried everything recommended on this forum, resettled pilots, reset the gauge from the battery through the Manager energy. What gives? The laptop is too new to have a defective battery and it was working perfectly until a few days ago.

    Anyone else having this problem, I really need to use the warranty already? Argh...


  • battery percentage jumps to 100 percent during charging and falls to 'real' percentage when disconnected

    Hello

    I charge my new iphone 6s and I noticed that evertime I plugged my iphone on my macbook pro, as the battery percentage jumps to 100 percent. Then, when I unplug it, it jumps down to the 'real' percentage. IM currently draining the battery to make a new calibration to see if that fixes the problem. Any ideas on why this might be happening would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Drain the battery could do more harm to the battery. Have you ever tried to force reboot the phone by holding down the button sleep and home for 10 seconds, until the Apple logo comes back again? You won't lose data by doing this, but it can cure a few glitches.

    Implementation in the new device would be the next step after that, where force restart does not work.

  • Battery charger read inconsistent state

    Hi all

    We have an application that tries to detect if a phone is supported or not.

    From:

    http://developer.BlackBerry.com/native/reference/Cascades/bb__device__batterychargingstate.html?f=ch...

    There is a State of charge. However, when the battery reaches 100%, even if the cable is always connected and is supported, the status changes to complete.

    So when the battery is 100%, there is no way we can detect if the cable is connected or not (in both cases, the remains of battery full status).

    I would like to have an additional state FullAndCharging in this case, when the cable is connected and supported, but also the battery is at 100%.

    Can it be done? Thanks in advance.

    There is no "full charge and.

    The battery will keep load until he can free any longer (this threshold may not necessarily be 100% according to the API, for example, if the sensor is damaged or something), after which it will pass to full. The battery can charge is no longer and the device will draw the power of taking rather.

    There are reports from reporting 'Full' when reading is about 90% of ish, like 98% or 94% battery and I have personally seen such behaviour. In this State, the battery is cooler

    To check if the device is connected, see if the State's discharge, because it's unplugged.

  • Y50 70 low FPS when on battery

    Hi guys,.

    I have a problem with my 70 Y50, i5 4210 H, GTX 860 M, UHD

    When I unplug the power adapter and use the battery I get a dramatic in the FPS drop when you play.

    Is this normal for this model and if not, how can I fix this or it is a hardware failure?

    Before you ask me, consider the following:

    Power management is set to High Performance with minimum CPU on 100% battery.

    The nVidia Driver is set to: prefer Maximum and boost performance at 60 fps in any case.

    When a battery I get 20 ~ 25 fps in GTA V and 20 ~ 35 FPS in Dota 2. With AC get respectively 48 FPS in GTA V, which is the maximum for UHD Samsung display and 50 ~ 60 FPS in Dota 2 (on the HD and nVidia FPS counter showing above 48 FPS).

    Is this normal for this model and if not, how can I fix this or it is a hardware failure?

    Thank you in advance!

    It's normal for most laptop computers (this is not a hardware failure). There is not enough power for the GPU for graphics rendering max.

    Games should always be plugged for maximum performance.

    Hello

    Here is a solution I tried after lookng through various forums and type of works for me. A common thing in most of the solutions is to take the battery and sim card out, leave like this for 1-2 hours and put them, I found back in and turn it on. I'm not sure of the logic behind it, but I remember reading that this overshadow the phone battery problems (connected incorrectly - essentially a reset) and begins to charge.

    I tried it 2 days back and I see that it worked for me, at least until now. I cross my fingers.

    I hope it's useful, works at least for few of you.

    Thank you all for the suggestions.

    Hello

    My Toshiba L50 - B won't start when the battery is fully drained but connected to the power outlet.
    I try to work most of the time on the battery to keep the battery in good shape, but when I forgot to turn off the battery drains and the system will not start when I plug in the adapter.

    The battery charge indicator is orange light as it should. Only when the battery is fully charged to 100%, it will run at startup and function normally after that. I tried to turn on the laptop several times during the charge cycle, but only when the charge indicator changes from yellow to white it starts. Tested for 2 bodies.

    My old Toshiba always immediately turned on when I plugged the adapter even when the battery has been completely drained. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

    The laptop should light up if the power adapter is plugged in and power the laptop corectly any if the battery is empty or during charge.

    Please check the version of the BIOS that is available on your mobile phone and compare with the BIOS available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver
    Maybe you need to update the BIOS, but to be honest, the history seems really odd to me and I m afraid that there could be some power supply electronic problem

    So in the worst case, the laptop must be checked by authorized service provider.
