Automatically optimize for battery lifespan charges the batt to 100% in Power Manager settings

Whats crazy about my system is I did a complete driver update with the lenovo update and I still dont have the option for Automatically optimize for battery lifespan. It never shows in my options please someone help me to get this option so I wont burn out my battery. Here is the link to my screen shot http://screencast.com/t/aOvXEJfLnmSm thank you

Hi Shaggy2626,
Thank you for the reply!
There are no additional settings for that, only thing we have to check with setting the BIOS to factory default. To proceed with that go to BIOS and press F9 to set factory default setting and F10 to save and exit.
Uninstall the current version which you have installed and download the application from the below link, it might be little older version. But I have checked with my T430 and its working fine for me.

Automatically Optimize for battery lifespan works?

Hi All,
My current x230 is set to "Automatically optimize for batter lifespan" under battery maintenance. I read that for this settings, it'll set your battery to hover around 80%~ base on Lenovo forum under w530 section. However, i'm always seeing my battery at 100% when AC is plugged in; Remaining capacity: 62.47 wh ; Full charge capacity: 62.47wh. Is it suppose to be lesser? I suppose it not healthy for the battery to be constantly kept at 100%. Any x230 users experiencing this too?
Would like my battery to last at least 2 years. usage :70% AC plugged in,30% on the go.
Thank you!
PS: Updated to the latest Power manager 6.63.1
Best Regards
Solved!

M5400: Automatically Optimize for battery lifespan?

Hello mithunr,
I know you can help me with a clear answer !!!
I am using since 3 days ago a Lenovo Essential M5400 laptop.
It looks very nice , all software i found on lenovo website , so its great.
Because is my first laptop , i do have some questions regarding the battery lifespan, because i am using my laptop like a desktop, all the time the AC adapter connected.
I am using Power Manger 6 and i set the battery on : automatically optimize for baterry lifespan.
Did i made the best choice if i am using my laptop as a desktop ??? (for sure i will not use it very often on battery mode)
I want to say that the battery is fully charged 100% , status : no activity,
I used only 1 time the battery until 85% and then i plugged in again the AC, and was charged again to 100% and remained like this.
design capacity 47,52whrs , remaining capacity 47.07whrs - this means 99,05%
cycle count 2, temperature 27-30.
I know that is not ok to work with battery 100% charged , but in this way this option : automatically maximize for battery lifespan is ok or not?
Please help me with this issue , i really dont know what is the better option if i use my laptop as a desktop (ac connected).
Thank you very much .

Thanks CBHedricks.
Normally i am using all the time AC power connected , thats why i did not know which option to select in order to not kill the battery very fast .
I selected the option "Automatically optimize for battery lifespan" from Lenovo Power Manager 6 -> Battery -> Battery maintenance (advanced options) .
So, your opinion is that this options is the best for my type of laptop use (ac power connected) ???
Thanks again .

Automatically Optimize For Battery lifespan

Yes another question on this but I can't find an answer.
When you click the help section on my Lenovo X220 it states the following: "Battery Health Mode immediately discharge your battery to 50% and set to stop charging at 50% and start charging at 46%."
My computer most definitely does not do this. In fact when I set Optimize for Battery lifespan and restart the computer my battery gauge will go from reading 98% (pre-restart) to 100% (post restart). If I set custom thresholds my battery gauge will suddenly read 98% again. Finally, when set on "optimize for battery lifespan" the remaining capacity on my battery is 61.68 wH and the maximum capacity is 56.87. What gives?
Why is my battery not "immediately" discharging to 50% as specified in the help?
What is with my gauge jumping between 98% and 100%?
Why is my battery's remaining capacity greater than the maximum capacity (I have had the computer for only 1 month and it is always plugged in)?
Weird

hey imbcms1
try doing a battery gauge reset. then use your unit as usual (without AC adapter) and let it discharged normally.
once discharge, charge it fully and do not use the unit while its charging.
uninstall and reinstall the power manager. Currently the latest version of power manager is at 3.62 (win 7) / 1.99j (win xp)

Power Manager - Battery Maintenance: "Optimize for battery lifespan" question

Having just had a battery failure after only 14 months and 77 cycles (seems some of the cells have failed as it now only lasts about 30 mins despite saying condition good and 3 hours to go - 30 mins later at 4% and takes only 30 mins to fully charge) I just bought a new battery and will be paying much closer attention to managing it using the Power Manager tool Battery Maintenance options.
Have read a lot here and elsewhere about batt issues and thresholds for maximising life. Can live with the conflicting advice too, but what I really want to know is this:
If I select the "Optimize for battery lifespan (automatically change for me)" option and check the box that says "Notify me when thresholds change" - is there any way this little app can be persuaded to tell me what the thresholds actually ARE at any time / at the outset?
It is all very well letting it decide what thresholds for charging/discharging to implement but I would like to know what they are and nowhere can I see how to get this info. And I have not yet had a " they've changed" message and have no idea when I might. I know I'm just the poor sap who pays for the batteries but surely I can be allowed to know what, in its wisdom, the Power Manager has deemed appropriate to implement if I give its own way?
Anyone got any experience/clues as to how to track/monitor the automatic levels when these settings selected?
Thanks.

Hello George,
it seems that the feature to manually adjust the thresholds has dissapeared in newer powermanager versions.
The powermanager is now set to a full automatic and takes care of your battery health.
Simply set it to automatic and relax.
Also I recommend to leave your battery in your TP, it will not harm the battery.

Please help me the registry value of Lenovo Power Manager

Hi everyone, I want to change the Battery Health Mode on my L430 windows 8 but i cannot find the setting in Lenovo Metro App. I know that we can change it in Power Manager on Windows 7, so I think about changing the registry value, and I must have the registry key value of Optimize for Battery Runtime Mode(not the Battery Span mode).
If you don't might, may I have your battery mode and the registry value in the following
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Lenovo\PWRMGRV\Data\DualModeBattery
This is my registry value, and it was in Automatic Mode

Thank you for your help and I'm aprreciate for that

Jurgen,
Are you just getting this error while attempting to verify? Can you successfully deploy the app? This issue looks familiar to an earlier post in this forum and I believe the archive is OK but is anerroneous verify error? If the cmp-resource is defined in sun-ejb-jar.xml then it should be fine and if the resources are correctly configured. The other thing to check is that you have a persistance manager resource defined in domain.xml; i.e.,
<persistence-manager-factory-resource enabled="true" factory-class="com.sun.jdo.spi.persistence.support.sqlstore.impl.PersistenceManagerFactoryImpl" jdbc-resource-jndi-name="jdbc/ejbTutorialDB" jndi-name="jdo/pmf" object-type="user"/>

Is there a way to disable touch on the Helix and get a power management for battery cycles?

As the title describes.
I've been drawing a fair bit on the Helix using photoshop but what to find a way to disable touch. I used to be able to do it on my x220t through the control panel>isd tablet settings. Windows 8 doesn't have that option. Please don't mention palm rejection as it doesn't always work.
Also I'd live to know if there is a battery gauge to show the battery cycle of the helix. I know the battery is in good condition. What i'd like to know is the cycles of both batteries.

So I have found a temp work-around that does the deed. I have been using a lot of autodesk sketch, and its bomb if you don't have to worry about your hand touching the screen while you sketch. Here is how I have been doing it.
WIN+X >> Device Manager >> Human Interface Devices >>
Under this section you will find three USB Drivers installed. I found that if I desable the second USB Driver, then the touch screen stops working, but the Digitizer still works 100%. Just re-enable when you want to use the touch again. I really wish Lenovo had software to take care of this out of the box. But as I said, It works for the time being.

How do I get the power manager settings to take hold? And stay that way?

I want to have my computer awake while on the battery and while I'm driving my car. To reduce distraction, I want to have the lid closed.
In order to make this mode easy to get to, I created a new power plan that has the "lid-closed" event result in "do nothing". Sometimes, this works. Sometimes, the computer goes to sleep. It is exceedingly annoying when the computer goes to sleep because I will get to my destination 45 minutes later and find that the computer didn't do what I wanted.
I've also noticed that the setting for "do nothing" sometimes bleeds over to other power plans. This is also a problem because, under ordinary situations, I would like my computer to behave normally.
Here's a summary of the situation:
1. I've disabled the "apply the settings to all power plans" button.
2. I've created a new power plan called "Logging" that should stay awake when the lid is closed. This power plan will sleep after 65 minutes and hibernate 10 minutes after that (on battery).
3. This plan stays awake sometimes, but not other times. At this instant, sitting in my living room, it refuses to stay awake. Oops, just tried it and now it works (a little consistency here would be nice).
4. As a case example, this morning the computer behaved as expected: I arrived at my destination and it was still away and logging. This afternoon, I woke it up and started logging, closed the lid, and drove off. Upon reaching my destination, I discovered that the computer went to sleep as soon as the lid was closed.
5. The program I'm running logs data points. When the computer sleeps, data points don't get logged. Therefore, I know the computer is sleeping because, after a long logging session (45 minutes), there will only be a few seconds of data points (which correspond to the amount of time it takes to close the lid). If the computer goes to sleep after 10 minutes or 30 minutes, there would be many more data points.
6. When the computer hibernates or sleeps, it seems to remove whatever change I last put into the plan. Even so, the plan still "says" that the change is there.
Ultimately, the difficulty here is that I can't predict what the computer is going to do. If I could, then I could adjust my use pattern.

Try this:
Go into Power Manager, choose the Logging profile.
Go into Windows' Power Options, choose a different profile, then switch back to the Logging profile.
See if this clears any contradiction between the two.

Disabling "Beep till the action is completed" in Power Manager

Hi,
I selected the the "beep till the action is completed" checkbox when the lid is closed, and the continuous beeping is starting to annoy me now. I was looking through the on-system help that comes with Power Manager (v3.01a) and it doesn't say how to undo the change. I would like to revert back to the default single beep when the lid is closed.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

When I put my phone on to charge, the batter quickly went to 1%. Down from 30%. When I pulled the phone off the charger to take a look at it, it died. Now it will not start. Anyone else have this happen to them? Any fix it, tips?

When I went to put my iPhone 4s on the charger it had 30% power. It quickly drained to 1% when hooked up to the charger. I took it off the charger to see what was going on and it quickly died. Has anyone else run into this issue? If so, how did you rectify?

Please help: need fix for battery not charging on iPhone 4 since install of IOS5 SAYS "NOT SUPPORTED BY THIS ACCESSORY

Can someone help me fix my issue: not charging in wall outlet but will charge in usb port. It seems this happened right after install of ios 5.0.1
Thanks so much!

I have experienced the same issue. We have a USB power adaptor and a cable that we routinely use to charge our iPhones in the kitchen. While my iPhone4 keeps showing that error message, my wife's iPhone4S and all the kids iPods are charging just fine. Not a chance for a faulty power adaptor or cable.....
It also started very recently. My iPhone can be charged with my computer, my car's charger so my dock connector has to be OK. It's as if the hardware signature of the USB power adaptor is no longer recognized. Also coincides with recent software update....
