Dell :: Studio XPS 16 Battery Longevity Issue
Oct 12, 2009I charged my laptop to full today and noticed that on Dell Power Saving mode, it runs an hour before dieing.

Dell XPS 13 :: Battery Longevity And Desktop Mode
Mar 13, 2013I just got my xps 13 on march 9, 2013. Â Today I received a battery warning.Frequently connecting and disconnecting your computer to a power source without allowing it to fully discharge may reduce the longevity of your batter. Dell's Longevity mode will protect your battery by moderating the extent to which your battery will charge protecting your battery from frequent charge and discharge states.
I enabled the Longevity Mode as well as the desktop mode. Is there any conflict with either. Should I ever click the option "Charge battery to 100% one time" under the Longevity Mode Tab.These options are new to me, and I would like to take the best care to keep my battery long lasting.I also have Dell Intelligent Display in Battery Mode and Dell Extended Battery Life enabled under the Battery Status Tab
Dell :: M1530 Longevity
Nov 29, 2008I've been searching for a laptop for 1 and a half months now and the Dell XPS M1530 really caught my eye as a good all rounder laptop with decent gaming abilities. I was really up for buying it till I read about how the new studio xps will be coming out and saw that many nbr members reccommends people going to buy a m1530 to wait a while. I've been waiting too long and kinda need a new laptop soon, hopefully in december.
My question is: How long will the m1530 last me if I did get one?
I'm hoping the laptop will last me 3-4 years, will santa rosa and nvidia 8600m last me through it? I don't mind it being old as long as I know that it can handle future programs/games at a decent mid range ability.
I know I can get another laptop that has the newer stuff but I have yet to find one that's not a Sony vaio fw (screen too big and heavy), hp dv5t (too glossy for my liking and I vowed never to go back HP again) or the Asus models (strange ugly design and bad port arrangements) all within £800 range.
Dell :: Extending Laptop Longevity Power Down Or Standby Mode
Oct 3, 2008My new XPS laptop is just a few days old and I'd like not to kill it prematurely. What is current consensus on best practice to extend useful life? Shut it down after session completed (i.e., in AM when leaving for work) or leave in standby "sleep" mode? I leave my employers Dell Latitude computer powered up in a docking station during the week but power it down for the weekend. With current electronic semiconductor technology, is there a negative aspect on longevity (inrush current, for example) by daily shutting down and powering up?

Apr 16, 2009Why is the Studio XPS 13 so terrible on battery life? ~2.5 hours on power saving mode, 1 on high-performance. I believe the Sony Z rates around 3-5 hours on power saving, as does the Latitude 6400. Is it normal to have this low of a battery life for a 13.3"?
What is draining all the power? How does the Z pull 4-5 hours on its battery life?
I don't want to shell out for a 9-cell and also have to deal with the added weight... but this is ridiculous.
Also, are there any new deals for the 9-cell batteries?

Dell :: Studio 1555 Battery
Jul 30, 2009I've had my new studio 1555 for just over a week now. The battery wear is irritating me though. I get like 4 hours on Windows 7,
when I'm supposed to get MAX 6.5 hours.
I opened up Everest, and it says Designed Capacity is 7800 mWh, but Fully Charged Capacity is 6731 mWh. Is that something to worry about?
Apparently my wear level is 13% And it's literally brand new.
Dell :: Studio 15 Poor Battery
Jun 15, 2009On my new studio 1536 the battery seems a little messed up.
By this I mean that my laptop will be put into sleep mode over night (by me) with 80 or 90% battery, and when I wake up (6 hours later or so) it will be at 8-15%.
Note that this is a NEW battery and has been charged and depleted several times since getting it on may 22nd.
Dell :: Studio 17 9-cell Battery
Apr 21, 2009What is the difference between the 6-cell and 9-cell batteries in terms of physical dimensions ?
Does the 9-cell protrude from the case in some way that the 6-cell doesn't ?
I read someone say something about the 9-cell upsets the viewing angle ?

Apr 11, 2009However, my battery life has gone down to 2 hours instead of the original 3 and a half hours when I first received it. I got my laptop on march 28 so it's only been two weeks.
Is there something wrong with the battery i got? On average, I only use this laptop 2-3 hours a day and it's on sleep or usually shut down when i'm not using it.

A) How is the battery life?
B) How is the heat?
Dell :: Best Place To Buy Studio 1535 Battery?

Dell :: Studio 1535 Has A Dead Battery
Jan 9, 2010This is 1.5 years old Studio 1535 machine (out of warranty). When I log in now (past 1 month or so),
I get a white dialog box saying thaa my battery is able to charge normally but its nearing its end of life.
However for past 1 week or so, I see that the battery shows 0% charge and says "Not charging" even though the AC adpater is plugged in.
Laptop works fine as long as AC power is on but the moment one removes it rightway goes to sleep .....
Dell :: Sleeve For Studio 15 With Extended Battery?
Dec 5, 2009 My aunt has the same laptop as I, and I have her name in our family drawing for Xmas... and she's wanting a nice sleeve.
She already has a laptop bag, she just wants something smaller for a quick "up and go" where she doesn't need her accessories, charger, etc.
I've looked at a few and I think they'd be close -- it's just that the extended battery makes the back end awful thick, which worries me.
Soooo I was wondering if anyone has actually purchased or used a sleeve with their Studio 15 with the extended battery, and if so which brand/model.
Dell :: Studio Xps 1340 Crashes Only On Battery.
Mar 8, 2009Just got my 1340 on Friday...nice looking machine. However I'm having some Blue Screen crashes.
I've reformatted the drive twice, to factory condition to get a clean start, but I still get the crashes.
I've only recently discovered that it seems to only happen when I unplug it, and run on batteries.
Dell :: Studio XPS 1640 Battery Life
Dec 17, 2009I know that everyone has different configurations and such, so while that does have an impact, I still want to know what is the general ballpark battery life you guys are getting. From what I am seeing, 2 hours is the average for the 6 cell, whereas the 9 cell is only 3?
I ask because as strange as it sounds, using BatteryBar indicates that the 6 cell that came with my 1640 has a capacity of only 5100mWh! That sounds very strange, because I know that on my XPS m1530, the 9 cell had a capacity of nearly 86,000mWh. I am having a 9 cell sent to me for my XPS 1640, and hopefully that will fix things. Maybe the battery's circuit board is reporting the numbers wrong/shrug.
Dell :: Maxing The Battery Life Of Studio 17
Jun 27, 2009I am strongly considering taking my laptop onboard to try and kill off a few hours especially as i have a good 100gb worth of films & series on it, but i want to try and squeeze every last drop out of the battery!
I will obviously be turning the brightness right down and turning off the backlit keyboard, aswell as wifi etc, but is there a way to drop the cpu speed to 15-20%, or whatever the laptop needs to run a film?
I wont need the full 17" screen, is there any way to turn off 3/4 of it so that i am only using a portion of it? if not is there any colour to use as the background that wont draw as much power, as im guessing fullscreen will draw more power.

Sep 1, 2009This might be a dumb question but, can I transport my Dell studio 1737 laptop without the battery in it? Is the tiny battery inside enough to keep everything okay (not sure what 'everything' is).
I based the size on specs from the Dell site plus answers to my questions from a tech support guy via chat. He told me that my new 9 cell battery would only stick out the back of the laptop by 1". I specifically asked him if it would stick out the bottom, he said no.
