  • Portege Z930: How to keep the battery alive as long as possible?

    Hello

    Got a Portege Z930 recently, I do not know how to manage the recharge of the battery in order to maintain 'live' as long as possible.

    I'm mainly using computer at home, to leave the battery and then recharge, but I'm not sure it's a good idea. I had an A-200 before satellite, also use it at home and keep connected all the time; After a few years, the battery capacity decreases

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    > after a few years, the battery capacity decreases

    It's nothing unusual after a few years of any battery would start to lose performance.
    Generally speaking after 500 times charge cycles the battery begins to lose clean performance.

    Of course you can remove the battery and could use the laptop only connected to the power adapter, but in this case, the laptop would shut down when making connection interrupted.

    To extend the battery work, you will need to calibrate the battery from time to time.
    To calibrate the battery, you must discharge the battery until it is completely empty. Then connect the power adapter and charge the battery up to full charge. Repeat this procedure two or three times in the line.

    Greetings.

  • Problem loading the battery on Satellite L755-1LN

    My L755 is fairly new and was working fine. However, the battery is worrying me. Today I turned on and the battery icon showed about 80%. I used the laptop on battery, for about 10 minutes and the screen is empty and not coming back.

    I plugged in the socket and press the power button - he told me it was to recover from a low-power station. I watched load, and he got to 80% in 15 minutes and sat there for 30 minutes before jumping to 100%. I unplugged the power outlet, and he went straight to 80%. I suspect that the battery monitor software is to blame, but can I do to recalibrate it.

    Here again, would it be a bad battery?

    Hello

    For me, this looks like the battery but problem try to calibrate the battery.
    Remove/Disconnect the power adapter and leave the laptop disconnected until the battery is completely empty. Then connect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery indicator turn green (or blue).

    This procedure should be repeated two or three times to recalibrate the battery, but if the battery is faulty of workaround would help a lot.

  • Portege Z30T.-a. -from the battery shows "fair."

    I recently bought a new PORTEGE Z30T-A PT24CE-01600EN5 a few days ago

    It is pre installed Win7 and I upgraded to:
    Microsoft Windows OS Version 8.1 Pro 6.3.9600 with their CDs

    In any case under PC Health monitor battery health shows always fair.
    I just bought it and I'm a little leery because I had TOSHIBA PORTEGE Z930 before and even after a year, he showed for the battery.

    What is a normal situation? Could check you your if you have a similar model?

    A new laptop and I take the battery isn't calibrated correctly and therefore it does not reach the full charge capacity.
    You will need to calibrate the battery charge and discharge until it would be entirely empty.
    Repeat this procedure three four times in the line and then check the status of the PC monitor once more.

  • Satellite L775-15 q - plan to charge the battery for long battery life

    Hello

    I just bought a Satellite L775-15 q and I want to know the best plan to charge my battery, so it can last as long as possible.
    Do I always leave the laptop plugged into the charger power cord, no matter if it has full battery or not? Should I always leave the battery drops to 10% and then charge it to 100% and then remove the power cord? Or do I have to do this from time to time and not every day?

    Thank you!

    I agree it is important that you should calibrate the battery from time to time
    This means discharge battery until it would be completely empty then load it again until the State of battery charge would achieve 100%, or until the battery indicator would turn to green.

  • 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?
