Acer :: Basics Of Working Off Battery
Nov 11, 2008
I just purchased an Acer Extensa notebook and had a couple of questions regarding working off the battery. I'll be using the notebook 99 percent of the time on AC, but wanted to make sure there wasn't a battery procedure the first time it's charged.
1. The battery is fully charged for the first time. Should I work off the battery to use a full charge, then recharge the battery and repeat the process to get the optimum performance from the battery?
2. To work off the battery, can I just disconnect the DC-in jack and leave the AC Adapter plugged in, then just reattach the DC-in jack when I want to work off AC again? Does this pose any risk to the notebook?

i am using acer aspire 5600 xp/vista and LION battery.
my battery had memory effect once and could work for like 15-20 min.but its indicator worked fine at that time.
but now memory effect is gone and i am now facing a new problem.
At full charging, system shows that battery is not connected even it is connected.even if i unplug the AC supply still it thinks that notebook is running from AC supply.During this period i cant use my laptop keyboard and touchpad.I Can use only externally connected keyboard and mouse.
While notebook is using the laptop battery(Ac Unplugged),after sometime it detects the battery and the indicator shows 7% of battery time.Then my notebook keyboard and touchpad starts to work and then this percentage decreases to 0%. The time between shift of percentage is approx 10 min . Even On 0% the battery works fine and works for like 15 min. Overall Battery can work for like 1 hr 30 min approx(Low Performance).
My main problem is i cant use my laptop keyboard and touchpad while the battery is fully charged. i have to drain my battery in order to use keyboard and touchpad.

The laptop just does not work with the battery in. It will boot up but the keyboard and touchpad do not work. Taking out the battery works fine...but my question is, will I ever be able to use the computer with a battery in it? Do I need a new battery? Or is my laptop forever a battery-less one?

So I've owned my piece of crap Dell 1705 for less than 3 years now.
The cosmetics of the laptop itself is in perfect condition but everything inside seems to be busted.
Issues:
1. Battery is no long working .
2. Headphone jack broken, in return the speakers will no longer work.
3. ** Go 7900gs is busted leading to BSOD parity error every 5-10 minutes

My uncle bought a Aspire E1-572-6870 series notebook six months before for me from USA. After using 10 to 15 days I noticed the internal speaker is not working. But the headphone and/or microphone is working very fine. I went to a local laptop repairing shop for diagnosis. Unfortunately they were unable to find out the actual problem. They suggest me to change the speaker chip may result solve the problem. Before changing the chip I want to diagnose once more for accuracy about the problem. Any online check can be possible?

I have a Ideapad Y560 laptop, I had some issue with the battery yesterday. It worked fine until I shutdown the laptop last night. The laptop just powered off when I unplugged the AC, with battery installed. And of course I cannot boot the laptop without AC now. I installed power manager, and it says no battery installed. The battery worked fine until yesterday. When I plugged AC in, the meter shows it is charging, but the power volume is not going up. Is it a battery failure?

I changed my battery from original to an aftermarket one as the original battery died. But after changing the battery the monitor flickers for few seconds and everything goes blank.
I put back my original battery, not working (Before it was working with Mains on)
I removed the battery, pressed the power button for 10 seconds and then I put back and connected mains. Again the display flickers and everything goes blank after few seconds.

I just purchased a new 6-cell battery (44+) for my X230. When I install it and restart, I get the message "The battery installed is not supported by this system and will not charge." After starting Windows I can see that the battery is in fact not charging.
I tried to make sure to buy a 44+ battery that I was told was compatible with the X230.

I have a timeline 4810T which has worked lovely since September, but now I have a weird problem with it: The keyboard won't work until the operating system is loaded. I can't access the bios (press the F2 key but nothing happens), neither select my OS on the Grub menu as the arrow keys doesn't work, all I can do is wait for the 10 seconds timer, then Ubuntu launches, then I can login without problems and all the keys work perfectly.
To give more details, maybe some keys do actually work before the os boot, because when I'm on the grub menu, some keys manage to stop the timer, but unfortunately I can't change the OS or accept the selection, then I have to reboot and wait for the timer to go back to 0 for itself and ubuntu loads.
I'm running the newest BIOS, updated some days ago but didn't had the problem since today.

Dell Studio not turning on? I've had this happen several times.
On previous times, I would take the battery out for a day or 2, put back in and it would turn on. Unfortunately, this time, no-can-do!

My D620 suddenly stopped working with an AC adaptor, won't charge the battery, won't operate without the battery. I have several AC adaptors and none of them work now. However, when docked the ac works fine and the battery charges with no issue.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1440 which I've been using since 2010. Recently I bought a new charger for my laptop as the old one got damaged and now when I'm charging the laptop the touch pad is not working properly. It is slow and sometimes I can't select items with the touch pad. So I changed the charger and when I checked in the shop the touch pad with new charger (the second one) was working fine. But when I went home again the same problem with the touch pad when charging only. When I remove the charger it works fine. And I also tried with a friends charger (but another dell model) and it works fine. And now my laptop battery indicator is blinking red three times. That also happens when charging only.

I have had a 5920G for nearly a year and it runs great when it is plugged in. As soon as I unplug it when it is 100% charged, the battery runs out in like 30 seconds.

Battery bar is holding pretty steady for me at 7:10 at total capacity. This is with brightness generally being at one step from the lowest, cpu at 1200, wifi, lan, etc on, and steady use of web/outlook/video without giving enough time for the screen to turn off.

I recently got a brand new 9-cell battery for my Aspire One, and it has been great until now. I left my laptop in sleep mode with about 60% charge remaining, and in the morning my laptop would not start. When I clicked the power button the orange light just flashed. So I took it home, left it on the charger all night (had a green light), and now it won't start again. I plugged it in, and Windows and BatteryBar are both showing 0% charge remaining. If I remove the AC plug it will stay on for a couple minutes then die again. Is my battery just completely dead?

my tm 8204's battery is now about 3 years old, and can only hold the power for about 30 min.
So I got a new battery for the laptop, not an original battery but new, and after 1 charging of the battery, there was no power for the laptop.
I thougt that an original battery could do better, so I switch it for the not original battery.
Guess what, the same shit happens, after 1 charging, there was no power in the battery, only if I got the electrical wire connected.

I've been having trouble with my laptop battery, its an acer 1642 maybe 3 years old, but i actually think the battery is fine.
I had been unable to get the battery to last for any longer than 20 mins, now this didnt really bother me as i usually always use it near a power outlet anyway, however being bored thought i would try something, so i turned off the battery warnings and automatic shutdown and just let it go untill it died, and it actually lasted aver an hour on 0% yes zero% so that kinda tells me the battery is fine.
when i charged it back up i ran into all sorts of problems, hanging on boot, crashing when i opened up power options and dunno if its related but some system proccess hogging the CPU at at least 50% all the time, however this only really happened when i booted it on AC power, under battery it seemed a lot better, long story slighty shorted, updated the bios and it seems to have fixed this problem.
however this is where it gets weird, now i am unable to get it to charge above 7% yet now when i unplug it at 7% it tells me i have about 3-4 hours left (from new it was never over 1.5hrs) just now its sitting at 7% and 3hrs 12mins.
does anyone know what i have done, battery times all seem to be ok, battery holds the system up no problem it just doenst seem to be reading the charge correctly ... is there anything i can do to fix this, except buying a new battery, really dont wanna do that, no cash just now ... any help would be greatly appreciated

my Acer Aspire 6920G battery no longer holds a charge. I have made sure that it was charged 100% even on power saver mode and the battery will go to 100% to 5% within 5 min. I looked at the battery condition on my laptop and it says to replace it.Where do i buy an acer battery ? Is this covered by costco's 2 year warranty?
