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

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 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.

Do post us back if the issue still persists.

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.

How to maximize W520 Battery Lifespan?

I just got a W520 and I plan to run it off of the AC adapter 90% of the time, so I want to make sure that I will not reducing the lifespan of the battery in any way. I read the help section in the battery maintenance window, and it sounds like if I run automatically optimize for battery lifespan, it will recognize my habits in time and change the thresholds. I would rather it run at the thresholds for maximum battery life immediately. What threshold settings would that be? Also I saw something about charge rate in the help section. Is charge rate determined by the thresholds? Would setting the charge thresholds myself be equivalent to the optimize lifespan setting (once it's reached the right values), or is it doing something different? I don't really care what charge level my battery is kept at, I just want it to last as long as possible.

If you really want to make it last longer, charge it about half way and freeze it:

Power manager setting for battery on AC

Hello,
99% of the time I keep my T61 14" plugged into the wall and was wondering what the recommended battery settings would be in Power manager? I guess this mainly refers to the charge thresholds. Currently I just have the checkbox selected that says "optimize for battery life".
Thanks for any suggestions.

If you want to maximize battery life it's best to remove the battery at around 40% charge and store it separately in a cool, dry location. Check it every few months and recharge it as necessary. If you leave the battery inside your ThinkPad, even with optimized recharge settings, the heat from the system will reduce battery life.

Battery not working for 7 hours

battery not working for 7 hours.. it working only for 3 hours or 4 hours

I'm sorry, got confused. You're not going to get 7 hours on your battery. Apple says "Up to 7 hours". That means they got 7 hours under optimum circumstances and with certain usage. You need to keep your screen brightness as low as you can live with. Minimum music and video. Check some email, a little office type stuff. Forget games. You might get close but you won't get 7 hours.
In the small print of their adds Apple spells out exactly how much of what they did to get 7 hours.

"Backup optimization on" is not working for "backup database"

Hi,
I am using a windows environment and my database info is like this:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE 11.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for 64-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Productionnow, I change my configuration for backup optimization on and then make example tablespace offline and also make example datafile offline. After that I run 2 times "Backup Database" command but 2 backup has same size and have example tablespace too... Backup archivelog all is working bur backup database is not!
according to this link it must not backup example datafile for second: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmconfb.htm#BRADV113
is there something that I missed ?
rman configuration:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 5;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF;
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM 'HIGH' AS OF RELEASE 'DEFAULT' OPTIMIZE FOR LOAD TRUE;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'C:\APP\ABC\PRODUCT\11.2.0\DBHOME_1\DATABASE\SNCFORCL.ORA'; # default

If you enable backup optimization, then the BACKUP command skips backing up files when the identical file has already been backed up to the specified device type.
1. In case of datafile RMAN compares the DBID, checkpoint SCN, creation SCN, and RESETLOGS SCN and time as a datafile already in a backup. If they are identical then skip to take backup again.
2. In case of archived redo log RMAN compares thread, sequence number, and RESETLOGS SCN and time.
3. In case of backupset RMAN compares recid and stamp.
Backup optimization applies to only commands,
-BACKUP DATABASE
-BACKUP ARCHIVELOG with ALL or LIKE options
-BACKUP BACKUPSET ALL

T540p - "optimize battery lifespan" option is missing in Power Manager / Win7

Hello,
I have a strange issue with Energy Manager on my T540p / Windows 7 Ultimate
Energy Manager 6.64.2 / System Setting German
In The Battery Maintainance Window the "middle Option"
"optimize Battery Lifespan" is missing
You can see the empty space between "fully charge" dan set Charging Levels"
With my other Thinkpads this was my default - so I miss it
Who can help??
Thank You in advance

I heard Lenovo was phasing out charging thresholds. This might be the start of it.

Using a power bank good or bad for iphone battery lifespan?

I currently use iphone 5, i see many aid product made now such as power bank,
but a question comes in my mind , is that good or bad for our battery lifespan?

Are you referring to cases with battery packs in them?
If so, most have a switch to turn the battery in the case on or off.
Having the iPhone or any phone in a battery case is neither good or bad. It is merely a way to extend the "life" of the device between charges without the need to physically plug the device in as there is always the extra battery onboard.

No drives for automatic optimization

In server 2012 I goto optimize drives click on "change settings" (for schedule), click on "Choose" (drives) and no drives are listed are listed that can be scheduled for automatic optimization?? I can also optimize the drive
manually, and, to make things more confusing, if I take the drive out and put the same HDD in a Windows 7 box it is listed.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kris

I have Server 2012R2 with a Perc H710 Raid Controller. The drives used to be there. Now they're not. The only drive utility I've installed is Macrium Reflect for disk imaging and backup. This is a Windows bug.
I'll use a third party defrag program. Thanks MS.

Automatic clearing for Billing Reversal not working because of SPL 90

Hi all experts,
We recently implemented the Grants management module and SPL 90 is now active.
We are now having a problem with automatic clearing for billing reversals.
When I go to VF11 and try to reverse a document, the FI postings and FM postings seem to be happening. But the automatic reversal does not go all the way through because when it tries to post to special purpose ledger 90, it does not find the original document there and hence, stops.
Can someone tell me how to fix this?
Thanks a lot, in advance.
AJ

Can someone PLEASE look into this question?
I really appreciate your feedback.
Thanks.
