• Satellite M105-SP381: short battery life - 01:50 mins

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Satellite M105 and I think that Im not getting good battery life out of it. I have had the machine for 1 month and I can barely 01:50 mins on drums, with a minimum brightness and wifi, just surf the web and listen to mp3s. What is the performance expected for this type of machine?

  It has a 1.8 Core Duo, 1 GB RAM, 80 gb HD, ATI x 1300 14 "of clues? I use the watch system to "long term" Toshiba application. My battery was unaffected by the action of voluntary exchange of Toshiba.

  Thank you

  HI Juan,

  Different parts of the book will use you the power at higher or lower rates. Any component with a mechanical action (your hard drive, optical drive, floppy drive, etc.) use generally a little more power than the CPU, RAM etc.

  The effect is to drain the battery faster if the hard drive or optical drive is used. So, generally, is expected to get more autonomy if you use an application such as Word or Excel where there is minimum hard disk activity unless you're constantly saving or loading documents.

  In your case, playback of MP3 files will constantly have to load data from the drive hard (although cached to reduce the number of access) while you browsing the internet is constantly written pages in your Temporary Internet folder (as well as access to your anti-virus database). All this activity hard drive means that the hard drive is never allowed to turn down and therefore do not have to use the power of the battery.

  As long as you follow the usual recommendations to optimize your battery (let it fully discharge from time to time) I think that the time you get really is reasonable for the type of activity that you do.

  Kind regards

• Battery life lasts only as long as normal (die much faster) and actually fan of sounds he doesn't usually do?

  I got my MacBook Pro 13 "in October. Normally, the battery life will last all day or most of the day. Yesterday it started making noises of fan that she doesn't normally and then when I turned it on this morning it was 68% battery and after about an hour and a half, it decreased by 16%. He has never done this before.

  A know why this is happening and how / if I can fix it?

  Thank you.

• Satellite T230 - 11 p - only 4 or 5 hours battery life

  I recently bought by Satellite T230 - 11 p. Once I took it out of the package I plugged the AC adapter and used for a while and kept until it is fully charged. But the battery life last for 4 or 5 hours. In the manual, he wrote the life of the battery last for 8 hours.

  Please help me with this problem. Should I replace the battery by a new, or - is this normal?

  Hi Krishj,

  In my battery of 4-5 hours notice, life is beautiful and everything is ok with your computer laptop because it s always according to your use. If you run a large number of programs and using the brightness of the display, the laptop needs more energy. Which is a perfectly normal behavior.

  Usually 8 hours autonomy you will have with the brightness of the display only low and high level of energy saving.

• video files do not work on the rocket / battery life only half

  I can't read music on my Sansa 4 GB rocket videos. I use Sansa media converter. I want to watch videos on it but I wait like 20 to 30 minutes just to appear in the menu and see just a black screen when I try to watch it. I think a new firmware update might help. Did someone herd all the rumors when a new will be available? I really like the "rocket", but I noticed that there are a lot of bugs in the programming.                                                                                                                                Also the battery life lasts about 12 hours (assumed to be 24 hours).  I have an extended through shack radio warranty is possible that they will be able to fix this?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Thank you for your time, Sansa65

  Not sure of your video problem, but can only talk about music? Format (WMA, Ogg, FLAC, MP3)? Bitrate? Using MP3 at 128 Kbps should give you 24 hours. If you use FLAC or (my favorite) Oggs, or a higher rate, then you are going to consume more energy. If this is not the case and that you use 128 Kbps MP3s, then load the "rocket" completely up, play music on it until it dies (don't stop it, it stop automatically when the battery is too low), then load it completely upwards without interruption (the battery icon stops flashing and disappears from the Lightning). You should not discharge/recharge the battery as it more than twice. This should recalibrate the battery (such as, to synchronize the farm while she knows exactly how responsible it is). Sometimes, when a battery test it in the factory or use over a long period of time UN-calibrates the battery.

• Qosmio G10: Low battery - off after 20 min work life

  Hi, I have a G10 for 1.5 years. Last week, the battery 'stops' after about 20 minutes of work. The one second it shows 88 percent and the second second is completely and you need to plug in the adapter again.

  No idea what's wrong here? A battery may indeed be dead like this and so sudden?

  Two related questions:
  -J' still have the laptop in standby mode. I guess that can affect the performance of the battery, correct?
  -Since I was the battery, I was always able to work approximately 1 to 1.5 hours on battery (normal internet navigation stuff). I always thought that this is normal given the notebook power. Today, I met someone who had a notebook of power simlar (other brands) but was able to work 5 hours! So, what is normal for a G10?

  Thank you

  Hello

  For me, this looks like a malfunction of the battery.
  I read somewhere on the net that battery life will be reduced after 500 time of loading/unloading procedures.
  In addition it of important how you manage the battery. Generally, the battery must be freed and then you can charge the battery again.
  It would be a process of optimum loading.

  I have always the battery if I work with the main power supply. This should not be necessary with a new generation of batteries and laptops but I do this and my battery performance even more.

  You wrote something on the use of cell phone only 5 hours on battery.
  Unfortunately, but I don t think that. Of course, there are different batteries (9-cell, 12 cells, etc.) supporting better performance, but I put t think it's possible to use the powerful laptop with battery for 5 hours. The G10 uses a 2 hard drives, powerful graphics card, 16:10 display (TruBrite). Sorry, but all this characteristics need power.

  However, in my opinion, you must replace the battery. Visit the accessories options 7 Toshiba for batteries compatible and very powerful

• Satellite A100 - battery life is increased from 100 min to 20 min after 1.5 years

  After 1.5 years, the battery life dropped about 100 minutes within 30 minutes.

  I thought that the battery was bad, but after that Windows automatically stopped because he thought that the battery was empty. I plugged the power cord for 10 seconds approximately, started the computer laptop, unplugged immediately and let it run in the BIOS screen. It has been running for more than 45 minutes, so that the laptop is off. Then

  I guess the battery was still high capacity, but somehow calibration data has become invalid.

  Is it possible to calibrate the battery? I have not found such a feature in the BIOS, where all my other phones have such a feature (even if I never need for others!)

  Hello

  I think you're a little confused about the duration of battery life and performance of the battery.
  But you should t be confused because it is nothing unusual.

  After about 500 times charge/discharge, the battery will begin to lose clean performance.
  This means that after a longer time of use, the battery performance will decrease and a day you need to replace.

  My 7 year old laptop doesn t work on battery power. The power of the battery takes about 2 min same it s fully charged. I know that I should replace, but I use this laptop as desktop Pc. It s always plugged in.

  If don t wonder about the performance of your battery. It s normal behavior.

• 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:

• 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.

• Satellite A200 short battery life - it pays very quickly

  Today, I have restored my A200 Satellite to factory settings.
  It is the 4th time that I did in the last 2 years.

  Now my battery life is screwed.

  100% loaded with about 10 minutes to the end (image: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/3548/100g.png)

  85% charged to 8 minutes (image: http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/723/46880270.png)

  What is going on?

  I'm afraid that if I restore settings to "fix" the problem it only make it up worse and end being 2 minutes from the end to completely charged.

• Acer switch Alpha 12 - Horrible battery life

  I got the new Acer for a few weeks now and am totally disappointed with the battery life.  Pushing I can get maximum about 2½ hours before the battery to recharge.  This is without doing anything difficult for Acer.  Brightness is 25% and I lost about 35% per hour.  This is not normal, it can?  Anyone who suffers from the same ridiculous autonomy?  Apart from that I am quite satisfied.

  Definitely not normal. Mine lasts several hours on battery. Start with the normal checks, just to make sure that you do not run with its brightness best of all time and others, then look at what you have running, constant activity network (as with bittorrent running) will suck the battery.

• On a new laptop battery life is less than 5 minutes; says it's fully charged

  I bought a Clevo M72S/M721S Mini laptop, a year ago. When I bought it, it had about 10 minutes of battery life. Now, it lasts 5 minutes without the AC is plugged in. When it is plugged in, however, it is said that the battery is charging and is 100%. I don't know if it's a dead battery, a battery life vulnerability in XP, a bad connection or something else. I've never used this thing only on batteries, with the exception of battery life tests. Help, please!

  Critics of this mini are not too abundant, but I found a couple for the re-brand model, and the life of the battery when new, was, on average, about 75 to 90 minutes. Since you never more than 10 minutes BL, and it seems to work fine on AC, my guess would be a bad battery from the beginning. Too bad it's probably out of warranty, but you can try to contact them in any case to see if there is perhaps a battery recall.

  You could try to calibrate the battery. Read this article and see whether or not you want to try it:
