View 5 RepliesI was recently notified by tech support that my 9 cell battery for my inspiron 6400 was dying. I'm suffering from a bit of a problem though. To replace said battery will cost $309, or I could go down to the 6 cell (which I really don't want to do, as I am a student and plugs are sometimes hard to find) for $145.
I have found an aftermarket battery which they claim comes from dell in the 9 cell for $89. this is not off of ebay, it is on battdepot.ca.
The savings is huge, and being a student with a newly wrecked car I don't have much cash. Would I be taking a huge risk?
I'm willing to buy a large capacity battery for my new Z series, but I don't want to pay much, as I will be carrying it around only for emergency situations.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have bought a new dell Inspiron 3521 original Battery but it is not charging...when i placed the new battery the battery indicator flashing red light. When i connect the new Dell 90w Adaptor when laptop is Off the indicator turns white colour with blinking. I kept charger for more than 3 hours still the white light battery indicator with blinking.
Does the Battery charge when Laptop is turned Off, wil get any Battery indicator. How many hours need to charge a new battery.
Can i use Dell 90W battery to charge instead 65W?
I have tried removing static power , removing battery holding power for 60 seconds..removing all external items.I couldnt able to turn on the Laptop.
It's been about 5 months since I started to use my Thinkpad X230. Only three days ago it could work for 5-6 hours without charging. I could charge it at home, bring it to school and use it without charging. But suddenly the battery started to die in a short amount of time. Then I explored the battery settings a little bit. I found out it says "Battery Condition: poor" and "Your battery can 47% of its original full charge capacity."
It has warranty until 2015. So can Lenovo send me a new battery if I want so? Or is it a problem that warranty doesn't cover?
I"m looking at the comparisons between the Acer 1810 T and TZ models. The primary differences are in processor and cache sizes. Could anybody guesstimate whether there would be differences in battery life on the two models, ie the SU4100 and the SU7300?
Battery life is probably more important to me than slight performance differences.
I've run into this issue twice already... once on 1 computer and another on this same one. It's the one where the battery is not recognized and there is an "X" where the battery icon is.
I've done all the Software Updates, Batter Update 1.3, and tried resetting the PRAM. So far none of these have worked. Now I'm out of ideas. Before after going thru those steps, the problem would be fixed... not so this time.
I know they extended the warranty and were replacing the batteries for free, but not sure this one would be covered under that.
I would like to ask about the Lenovo Energy Management software bundled with my Z400. Regarding the Energy Management > Battery > "Optimized Battery Health" in particular. When the battery charges until 60%, does it internally disconnect the charger from my battery? The Power icon in the System Tray says "Plugged in, not charging". Or does the software stops the charging until 60%, and when it lowers the software allows it to recharge again? I'm worried about getting my battery worn out immediately, as I leave my charger plugged in most of the time.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy 2 day old Lenovo Y510P laptop has a problem with charging. I noticed the battery was never going above 60% charged. I left it plugged in for over 24 hours and nothing changed. So I decided to completely drain the battery and used the laptop until it died. With the laptop off I left it plugged in until the battery LED turned white which indicates the battery is fully charged. Unfortunately the battery still shows 60% charged.

Refurbished Laptop - latitude E6410. The battery light contrantly flashes on the Battery five or Six solid blue lights - Then three flashing lights.In addition, the Light on the Computer ( ) and the desk top icon for the power adaptor cord /battery says" Plugged in - Not charging".I ran the Dell Diagnostics (Fn key at bootup) but it found no problems.is the battery dead?
View 1 Replies View RelatedLast night I was using my E1705 running on battery when the thing just suddenly zapped off. I had recently glanced at the battery meter which was 75% full. I pressed the button on the actual battery which shows 3 of 5 lights on the charge meter.
The battery itself is only 1 month old and has been performing flawlessly. I just thought it was something random so I plugged the machine in and it started up.
I didn't think anything else of it till today when I went to move my laptop, removed the power cord, and the laptop turned off. I checked the physical battery meter which still reads 3 of 5 lights .....
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.
I just received my MBP 13" yesterday. So far I love it. However, I noticed an issue. Last when I put my MBP to sleep, it had about 30% battery left. However, when I woke up this morning and opened my MBP, the battery went down to 13%.
When I put the laptop to sleep, I had a pdf file open along with itunes (paused). I have never used Mac OS, so maybe I not doing something correct. Also, I noticed when I open the lid (after I put the notebook to sleep) it just goes directly back to the desktop as opposed to on windows it prompts to the login screen when waking it up from sleep mode.
My Dell XPS 15z is showing the following problem :-- if I try to boot it with the battery connected (and AC power either plugged in or not), the orange power light flashes briefly and then the machine shuts down- if I remove the back of the case, disconnect the battery, connect the AC power cable and boot, the system boots as normal
Other observations
- BIOS version is A07, I can not upgrade this to A12 as, when I try to with the battery disconnected it basically tells me I have to have a battery connected to do the upgrade- when I click on the battery status button on the side of the case with the battery connected, one LED lights- when I click on the battery status button on the side of the case with the battery disconnected, no LEDs light
What are the next diagnostic steps?What is the likely fault - could replacing the battery unit solve the problem or is is the component which charges the battery which is likely to be faulty?The laptop is 18 months old but only covered by a one year warranty with Dell.
Been using XPS15 for just over a year and am getting a "battery has permanent failure - need to replace battery" message....
I've rarely even used this current laptop without using power, so the battery seems to have died a bit too soon?
Is there a particular Dell battery I can buy that should last a bit longer?
I am looking into getting one of the new macbook pro's. Though I must say the non removable battery does concern me a bit. In past laptops I have had, I without a doubt saw increased battery wear and tear when I left the batter in the laptop while the laptop itself was plugged in. I completly destroyed a battery on my Dell laptop by doing this for about a month when it was asking as a desktop. I took the laptop which used to get around 4 hrs of battery life and then after a month it got no more than 15 minutes.
So after that I always took the battery out, so now with the new macbook pro's you cannot take the batteries out, so wont the batteries wear down to nothing faster than if you took them out when not using them?
Can I use the dock battery of my Dell xps10 before the battery inside the tablet?

Hopefully once people confirm that the HDX 18 aftermarket keyboard will work on the DV8, I'll jump the gun and order one. I really want a backlit keyboard.
My Dell inspiron 6400 has a battery that works amazingly but recently, I noticed a change in the behaviour. Anytime I switch the laptop on, the LED battery indicator shows me red meaning something is wrong even when the battery is fully charged. The battery charges normally even when I intentionally drain out the power and try charging it again. This is just to make sure that the battery charges fine. Infact, in windows, it shows me that the computer is on AC power even when it is not plugged into an AC outlet.
The BIOS shows "No battery installed" and windows tells me the same. Summarily, everything is fine except for the LED indicator showing Red and the BIOS telling me that no battery is installed.
I have an HP DV7 that keeps going through batteries. The newest battery worked for a few weeks and then died last night. This is now the 2nd battery in roughly a month that has died on me. Why do the batteries keep going bad? When the computer is plugged in it works fine but when its unplugged it dies right away.
View 3 Replies View Relatedi bought an hp dv5t laptop about 7 months ago.my laptop battery has been working fine since then.few days back it has has started to give me problems.sometimes it refuses to charge when ac power is connected e.g it stays on lets say 20% even though its been on AC for a long time.well sometimes it charges normally without any problems.also i have noticed that it charging time has increased a lot from about 25 minutes to 40 min.
is there anyting wrong with the battery or is my ac adapter faulty?how can i improve my battery condition?
the DV5 in my use was purchased in Oct '08 (30th) and in the time following that the battery has worn down to 6.2-7% based on charging rates can i claim on this if not what can i do to prevent this (cycling does not help..and please no links to HP's battery tips..those do not work...atleast the power cycling did not)
View 5 Replies View RelatedIt's been since the DV6000t that I looked at battery & notebook technology.
From then I believed to cyccle the battery a couple times and store it out of the machine @ around 60%.
Is it still so? Will just plain leaving it in the machine all the time plugged in shorten the life or effciency? Or have things progressed?
I have a 12 cell battery for my DV6568se. The problem is that hte battery drain very quickly. It goes from about 100-80 percent in about 20-30 minutes on power saver mode while im just surfing the web. Also, the battery status bar goes from around 60-50% to 6 percent instantly.

Theere isw a specific range of battery serial numbers that are being recalled by HP. If you have a bettery that matches the reported serial number range you should contact HP immediately for a replacement battery.
Just was looking at Best Buy's ad this week and it shows on teh front page an HP DV5-1235DX that boasts a 6 3/4 hrs battery life. What makes the battery life so great on this?
All the components look similar to other notebooks.

my battery charges up to 86 percent and then says battery full. the battery is only about a month old.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe 6-cell lithium ion battery would only run it for about 10 minutes. I tried replacing all the lithium ion cells with new ones, made for cell phones, so I doubled them up.
Then, I just got blinking lights when pressing the battery circuit board 'test' button.
So I left it for a long time, several weeks.
Just picked up a complete battery conditioner, with a built-in balancer, normally about 100 bucks for 25.
So I disassembled it, but then probably waited too long (fell asleep) before rehooking up the old cells.
Figured out now I should have left everything alone from the beginning, done several drain and recharge cycles to recondition the cells, and would have had the pack like new.
Now I can charge the pack with the bench battery charger/conditioner/balancer, but the electronics seem 'dead' on the circuit board strip. The laptop thinks it's on AC power when it's on battery, and shows no sign of powering up the pack.
I'm thinking leaving the replacement cells out for too long, before I put the old cells charged, back in, made the circuit board 'forget'.
