Windows 7 battery meter is not calibrated

Hello

I use Windows 7 Ultimate in a laptop Dell E1705 as a test. When I installed the operating system, my laptop had a very old battery that discharge completely after only 5 minutes, the battery meter seems to detect it properly and off the PC accordingly. I bought a new battery directly from DELL, and it seems to recharge and discharge as planned (takes 3 hours). But Windows 7 battery meter seems to "remember" the former behaivor of battery or something really wrong with her. When I am on battery even though the battery meter reports 99% charged it shows a yellow alert and tells me that the battery is low. When the battery reaches about 77% or 80% load it tells me the battery is critical and the computer turns off! If I turn on the computer after that, he always tells me that the battery is critical to 80%! I can continue to work normally (with now a red alert) for 2 hours and a half like that, and when finally reached load 1% Windows does not detect what is really critical and do not shut down the computer. The battery will just drain completely and the laptop turns off suddenly. I checked the battery and load in the DELL bios and it seems OK. Windows battery meter reports the load properly, it's the actions that it performs and which are incorrect. How can I change this? How can I tell windows not to stop at 80% battery charge, but 10%. Any ideas how to solve this problem? Thank you.

Hello
I had exactly the same behavior, but after a month, install and reinstall the drivers, I finally found the reason and the solution. Go to 'Power Options', 'putting into change plan' of your plan, then 'Change advanced power settings', expand 'Battery' and set correct values for 'low battery level' (10%) and the "critical battery level" (5%). Mine were on 99 and 98 percent... This look is like changing the battery somehow confuses / changes these values?

I hope this will solve your problem...

Best regards, Mihi

  • Windows 10 battery meter Toolbar - Update December 2015 problem

    Hello

    So, I finally got the toolbar of DuraShock battery installed on my machine E431 Windows 10 in October 2015.

    However, I made the mistake of upgrading to the new version that came out December 1, 2015, and now the toolbar has dissappeared as an option to select in the taskbar.

    In addition, I don't see anyway to uninstall the update (and I don't know where it has been installed).

    I tried to reinstall the previous version and the new version, but it does not take the system update Lenovo and Lenovo Solution Center tried to update software and claims that it ends very well, but it still gives me the option to install the update again.

    Information on where the toolbar installed (if I can remove the installation) or suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Y40 - 80 randomly turn off. The battery calibration has not fixed the problem of battery meter.

    Hello

    I've had this Y40-80 during about 9 months and it has recently been acting strangely. The laptop will stop randomly. I thought that it was a sign, I had to calibrate the battery but after I had calibrated the battery, the battery meter percentage remained at 100% for a good 2 hours until it starts to decrease.

    Now, I tried to recalibrate the battery for 5 times using the howtogeek, OneKey and the discharge of the BIOS. I did a fresh install of Windows to get rid of all the software Lenovo that might have caused the problem, but that did nothing.

    I also uninstalled the Windows ACPI and Lenovo ACPI, which does not solve everything.

    This issue makes the computer laptop underclock the processor environ.48 Ghz, which makes the computer almost unusable.

    Someone have an idea on how to solve this problem, or is the battery dead?

  • Upgrade of Windows 10 - battery not detected

  • Brand new Windows 7 system: battery plugged in, not supported

    I just got a brand new Acer Aspire 5542-1462 with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed. I have almost exclusively while plugged operated. Battery in the notification area icon indicates that the battery is at "97% (plugged in, does not support)." How can I get the battery charge? Is there a threshold above which it does not load? Some features of the system if they will help you:

    AMD Athlon II X 2 M300 2.0 GHz
    4 GB OF RAM
    ATI Radeon HD 4200 graphics card
    battery Li-ion 6 cells

    My power profile is balanced with the only change so that everything always remains that plugged while. This is my first Windows 7 machine after years with XP, so I am new to the operating system. I searched around the internet and here and can't find anything.

    Hey,.

    This is how it works:

    1. When you turn on your laptop, if your battery is more than 95%. you will get the message "connected but no charging current.

    2. When you turn on your laptop, if your battery is less than 95%, you will see the message "blocked and charge" until the battery reaches 100% (not 95%). That is why sometimes, even if you see that your battery is at 97% and load, this means before starting your laptop, the battery was less than 95% and reached 97% since then.

    Apart from the above explanation it seems some problems with the mentioned error. So, try the following steps as well.

    1. click on Start and type device in the search for field, and then select Device Manager .
    2 expand the category of batteries .
    3. under the batteries category, right-click in the list of Microsoft ACPI compatible with battery control method and choose Uninstall .
    WARNING : do not remove the Microsoft AC adapter driver or any other compatible ACPI driver.
    4. on the taskbar of the Device Manager, click on Search the hardware changes .
    You can also select Action > search the hardware changes .

    Give that a try!

  • receive battery WARNING on start up. the battery meter indicates "94% plugged in, does not support".

    When I turn on my laptop a battery warning message.  I checked the battery meter that says the following "94% plugged in, does not support".   The laptop is fine, so why should I get this message and what I would do to this topic?

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Cheryl

    It is always recommended to run regularly only on battery power. It will actually make the battery last longer to let it discharge once a month. Realistically, if your laptop is on a desktop and plugged all the time, it is better to just remove the battery and only use it when you need portability.

  • battery meter Pavilion g6-2004tu is intermittently bad

    Hi, I just bought a computer portable pavilion g6-2004tu a week at the back. Since then, I've noticed that sometimes the battery meter indicates a bad reading IE the percentage of remaining battery power remains constant for a long time, and the remaining time is also false, for example - 26%, time to 38 hours left. After a standby or hibernation, it becomes normal again. I checked my battery status, it says OK, i.e No calibration is required.  What could be the problem?

    Even if the computer has the battery does not need calibration, I think that's always what you describe. During the time the battery can make 'forget' where the exact points of 0% and 100%. This can cause things such as showing an incorrect time of remaining battery power. Because of this HP recommended re - calibrate the battery every month 1-2. So start through the recalibration to be excluded as a possibility.

    The process may be slightly different for each operating system, then here is the guide for Windows 7. If you have a different version of Windows let me know and I am looking for specific documentation. After trying these steps please post the result!

  • Battery meter

    My iPhone 6 is running iOS 9.3.1 just today started having a problem with the battery meter records does not correctly. After several hours of using my phone this morning, I noticed that he was always at 100% and he died soon after. It wasn't a problem last night, because I remember watching down to 4% and die last night. I had my time manually rather than what allows it to configure automatically. This http://fortune.com/2016/01/19/battery-issues-iphone-6s-and-6s-plus/ of fortune dot com suggested to do a hard reboot and automatic time setting enable. I restarted, and then activated, then restarted again, but nothing.

    I got the iOS version that I am running for awhile, so I don't think that it has nothing to do with the update because I only started to have a problem with it this morning

    First, download the autonomy since the app store app. It will tell you the status of the battery. Then try the battery meter calibration if the problem is not the battery.

    Recalibrate your battery meter:

    • Charges to 100%
    • Run the battery until the phone turns off
    • If it stops above 1% charge for only one minute, and then continue running the battery down. Repeat until it makes 1% before shutting
    • Load it back to 100%

    If the battery is defective, this should fix it.

  • Why my battery meter icon disappear sometimes?
