Brand new Y50-70 battery life problem

Hello,I have recently purchased a Lenovo Y50-70 (GTX 960M, IPS screen) without Windows to save money. I do have an MSDN subscription, so this would be a complete waste of money.I've installed the OS - Windows 8.1 with update - and all necessary drivers.But Action Center tells me that there's a compatibility issue with power management, and because of this, the notebook only last 2 hours on a charge.What did I do wrong? Does the order of drivers I install matter?

Hi Toastnbutter,
Welcome to the Forums  
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with battery in your Lenovo Y50-70 laptop.
Try to perform the battery gauge reset and check for the issue, to perform the gauge reset go to energy management and select maintainence and guide option. Select battery gauge reset and check for the issue. The order of the drivers will not matter.
Also try to reinstall the energy management and check for the issue.

Hope this helps. Do post back if the issue persists.
Best regards,

  • Brand new iPhone 6 battery life dropping very fast and charging even faster

    my brand new iPhone 6 that I have just recently started using the day before has a surprisingly bad battery life. whrn first turning on the phone to use the battery life only last 1-2 hours with average use. when the battery died this morning I pluhe'd the phone into charge and the battery is charging very fast already at 25% and only being charging for about 15-20 mins. I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this problem and if it is normal or if I have just recieved a faulty iPhone 6?

    Can you check:
    1. What apps show on settings - general - usage - battery usage?
    2. How many apps have permission to use cellular data?

  • Brand new 13" MBP Battery life is not 10 hrs.

    Today I got my brand new 13" Macbook pro. The battery is advertised as lasting up to 10 hrs. This is my first time using the computer and I charged it up completely. I just unplugged it. The battery meter on top reads 6.46 hrs.
    I have the display turned down. and the keyboard backlight off. I do have wifi on and bluetooth on but why is it not reading higher?

    Yes you should calibrate your battery at least a couple times. I just purchased a new 15" i7 and found some improvement after doing it once, and a little bit more after the second time. Here's some instructions from Apple...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/9036.html
    With the 13" you have a very energy efficient machine but Apple's battery times are under "ideal" conditions and seem to be a little overstated (OK maybe more than a little). My 2008 15" non-unibody had a "5 hour battery" and in real life it was more like 3-4 hr maximum under light use. *I also had the 2009 version of your 13" and got around 6-6.5 hrs max out of the "7 hour battery" again under light usage.* My 2010 15" i7 well... let's just say the 8-9 hours quoted must be under lab conditions! Real life battery is 2-7hrs depending upon usage. Ugh.

  • My Brand New Nano's Battery Life is Short

    I just got my first Ipod nano last week so this may be my fault cause I'm still learning. The first time I charged my battery it lasted about 3 hours. I though it may have been because it was new that it was depleted so fast. I fully charged it last night & have used it for about 2 hours and the battery shows only about 25% life left. Nowhere near 14 hours. Is it my Ipod or am I doing something wrong? Should I return it to the store from which I purchased it (this would be the 2nd return. My first one I bought 3 days earlier would get really hot on the back & start sounding scratchy)?

    First, know that the meter is inaccurate. Just because it says half-empty doesn't mean it is half-empty. Also, the battery may not last the full 14 hours until after a few charge cycles, where you charge the battery, then use it all up, then charge it again.

  • IPhone 4S sudden battery life problem with iOS7

    I've been hearing the rumors of iOS7 battery life problems but not experiencing them ... until today.
    The battery seems to lose about 20% every hour without my really using the phone at all. No calls. No Safari. No Calendar. No email.
    I stopped all applications. Still drained.
    Recharged.
    I turned on airplane mode.  Still drained.
    Recharged.
    I turned off application background updates. Still drained.
    I am recharging now. And I have turned off location services.
    Not sure what changed. In the last day I did upgrade my computer to a brand new Mac Book Pro.  Could syncing with my new computer have changed something on the phone that would have initiated this.
    I installed iOS7 on the release day and haven't had this problem until today.
    Any other tips?
    -Steve

    Curiously enough, the problem is gone today.
    Didn't change anything that I know of.
    Turned background updating on.
    Turned location services on.
    Battery life seems to be holding in a "normal" way.
    Baffled.

  • 8220 battery life problem

    Hello everyone,
    I've had my 8220 for almost exactly a year now, and for most of that time it's been great, albeit somewhat neutered by being on Vodafone pay-as-you-go. Then, sometime in November last year, I started to have problems with the battery life being quite short.
    Now, I don't use my phone for much, it used to spend most of the day turned off (not complete off, just on standby) and would turn on twice a day to remind me to take some medication for a sleep disorder I have. I would have to recharge it about once a week, maybe once every 10 days. But since November I have to recharge it about once every 2 days, and that's without using it as more than an alarm clock!
    I bought a new branded battery (from an Amazon UK marketplace seller, so I can't be 100% sure it's legit) and tried that, and nothing has changed. It loses a good 20-30% charge overnight, even if I use full power off. I thought at first it might be because the phone basically spent its life powering on and off without being on for very long, maybe that did something bad to the battery life over time; so now I turn the phone on when I get up and leave it that way all day until full power off before I go to sleep.
    I don't have much installed, just Opera Mini and Empower Central+Task Manager (which I installed after the problems tarted to graph the battery usage)
    Things I've tried:
    Going through all open programs and choosing 'close' - only default programs open (messenger, browser, home screen, phone, messages) and they just re-order themselves if I choose 'close' - no change
    New battery (as detailed above, from Amazon UK marketplace) - no change
    Charge using mains adapter instead of USB cable - no change
    Charge to 100% using mains, pull battery, wait a couple of seconds, replace, continue charging - it still said it was 100% charged after the battery pull - no change
    Upgraded OS (from .155 to .305) - no change
    Does anyone have any more ideas I can try to get back the decent battery life I used to have?
    Is my phone faulty?
    Any help or advice gratefully received!

  • My brand new X230 has battery condition Poor!

    Hi all,
    Just got me brand new Lenovo X230 with 6cell battery (standard for that model I believe), and when I go to the Power Manager under battery it says Main Battery: Condition Poor and it has red icon of the battery next to it. It's like that from the beginng so from the 0 cycle count. The battery seems to be brand new (Manufacture date - 2013-01-03). What could be the problem?
    It also says from new - "Your battery can store 64% of its original full charge capacity"
    Thank you for all help in advance.
    Regards,
    Radek

    Sounds like you have 2 bad cells in your 6 cell battery.  I would contact Lenovo and get them to ship you a new one.

  • Does iPod (4th gen) have a battery life problem?

    I have had my 4th gen iPod for less than 2 years (was a replacement after the screen was cracked. Was purchased at an actual Apple Retail store).  I am now finding that it won't hold a charge. I have tried 4 different cords (including the original cords from the original and the replacement iPod) plus 2 other iPod compatible cords and plug it in every night, only to find out that 6 out of 7 days it still reads as having a low battery (at 20% battery life). I am pretty sure it is not the cords. In addition, lately I have been getting messages about the temperature (being either too hot or too cold). I do not leave my iPod in the sun or in my car EVER, yet I've gotten messages about the battery being too hot (even when it was in an air conditioned house for several hours) and now I am getting messages about it being too cold (it is freezing outside, but the iPod has been inside and does not even feel cold to the touch).
    I would update it to the new version, but it requires 50% power to do so, and I can't get enough power to it (even when it is plugged in for hours, it still doesn't show enough battery life).
    I have an appointment at the genius bar next week, but thought I would ask if anyone else is having this/these problem(s) and what they did to resolve the issue  Thanks.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. I suspect a hardware problem because of the high temp warning.

  • OS Update & Battery Life Problem

    I thought I would throw in my two cents worth of iPhone 4 OS update. I'm experiencing many of the same problems that other folks have reported on the discussions boards...battery draining, apps closing while using them, etc. My phone is basically rendered useless at this point. I went to the apple store and their solution was to sell me a new battery for $79.00.  I said no-way, there was nothing wrong with my phone prior to the OS update and immediately after the update is when I stared having problems, so no, it's not the battery. The apple store clerk changed the settings on my phone, changed auto-lock from 4 minutes to 1 minutes, changed all my mail accounts from push to fetch, changed locations settings and any other settings that might have an impact on battery life. It helped a little bit, but did not put the phone back to the way it was prior to the OS install.
    I find it hard to believe that apple put out a product without first throughly testing it to make sure it would work on the million cellphones already out there.
    I really hope apple is listening and reading the message boards because they need to come out with a fix for this problem before people dump their iPhones in search of a phone that actually works. Can you say Blackberry?
    Thanks for listening to me vent.
    Kathy

    I am having the exact same problem! Mine was at 80% last night before I went to sleep and was dead again for the second night in a row. I am thinking about resorting. These last few updates released have been the worst ever! I almost missed an appointment yesterday morning but luckily today is Sunday and it was dead again. Have you had any luck yet?

  • Overheating ipod touch 4g and battery life problem

    my ipod touch start to overheat when i use app such as camera, madpad, other 3d games, and also when  i use apps that requires sounds...
    and also the battery life of my ipod touch drains really fast.. i have my ipod touch more than a month and the first few weeks its ok.. but after a month it starts to heat up... i usually play games in 2d in 5hrs but now i can barely play for about 3 hrs or below and when i play 3d games i usually play for about 3hrs or more but now 2hrs or below with no sounds.. i thought IOS 5 could fix it but it didn't.. does anyone have the same problem?? do you think apple could repair it or replace it with a new one????

    it is possible that the idevice came a little hot when you use it
    its like a computer more you rush it more it become hot
    for your batterie it depend on how you use your device and how you charge it by example:
    do you whate until your batt is empty beffor chaging it or you charging it any time you add a chance
    because if you dont drain all the batt beffor charging it, it affect te life durration and te number of time bettwen each charge
    and your device setting can also affect your charge duration like:
    1. device brightnes.. at max
    2. wi-fi enable
    3. bluetooth enable
    4. sound volume
    5. ect..

  • Brand new iPhone 4 battery drain

    I know there are many posts regarding this subject but my issue is very strange.  I had a 3GS for 2 years and it had IOS 5.01 but beginning last Friday the battery began to drain.  I went to an Apple store and the tech told me that the problem was that the usage time and the standby time was exactly the same.  So he tells me to do a restore and set it up as a new phone.  I tried everything...restore from backup, restore as a new iPhone...no change.  So I am thinking that the battery is toast.  Time to upgrade.  I go to ATT to get my new iPhone 4 on Wednesday and get home to set it up on iTunes.  Now my brand new iPhone 4 is doing exactly the same thing as my former 3GS.  I opened a case with Apple today and was told to do a backup then a restore from the backup.  I did not sync any of my apps or music.  Left work at 5pm with a 100% charge, did not use the phone at all for 2+ hours, checked the charge at it was at 74%.  I checked the usage and just as I suspected the usage time and standby time were exactly the same, as if I had been using the phone for 2+ hours.  Apple says they will send me another phone but I really don't think the problem is the phone.  The only common denominator is iTunes.  Any thoughts?

    Dlwynn, this is a crazy issue. I can only immagin how frustrating this issue could be for you!
    One thing I have found when dealing with any possible hardware or software issue, that I need to get isolated is to scrap the whole back up/restore from back up, and restore the device as new, and see where you are at without all of your stuff on it.
    When doing this procedure its important that if you DO have important stuff on the phone you do not want to lose that you back it up in another way...Contacts into windows contacts or use iCloud. You would stand to lose application settings, text messages and call history ..because these are things that are only stored in the back up.
    You can save your pictures to your computer using Auto play.
    Another way to go about it would be to navigate to your hidden back up folder, copy it to your desktop..restore as new...and if that does not resolve your issue, you put your back up thats on your desktop back into the hidden back up folder, and restore from your back up.
    Anyways with all of this being said..If your batter drain issue persists with restoring your device as new in itunes...that would prove a hardware failure.
    If the issue goes away after you restore as new. that means that something within your back up was the source of the issue.
    The other common thread here is that you keep restoring from your back up.
    Anyways I hope this helps you

  • MBP 15" Retina Battery Life Problems

    Hello all!
    I recently got the highest end MBP 15" Retina and it runs AMAZINGLY fast, but the only problem I'm having with is the battery life.
    For example, right now, at 100% charge, the predicted time is 4 hours and 35 minutes, but it's plummeting very quickly; I don't think I'll get more than 1 or 2 hours.
    On the website, the average predicted battery life is almost 8 hours. I understand that the numbers on Apple's website may not be exact, but I feel like getting a quarter or even half of the advertised battery life suggests there is something wrong as well? o-o
    I'm not doing anything intensive on my computer either; just simple web browsing and chatting on Skype.
    I've searched the internet for solutions, and I've already tried resetting PRAM AND NVRAM settings, I've turned off Bluetooth, and checked off all of the Power Saver settings in Preferences.
    My battery's condition is "Normal" since I recently purchased it.
    I'm curious if anyone has a solution to this problem? (To give an idea of how fast the battery is draining, I started writing this post with 100% battery, and now it's at 98% several minutes later)
    If anyone has any advice, it'd be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advanced!

    Skype is one of the most resource hungry application that one may use.  It will drain the battery very quickly.  When using it, connect your MBP to the power adapter.
    Read the Apple hype regarding battery run time.  The operative term is 'UP TO' not will achieve 8 hours run time.  In the 'real world' conditions, battery run time will be determined by the number and type of applications you are using.  If you are just text editing, you may very well get 8 hours from from the battery, but certainly not with Skype games or video.
    Ciao.

  • Ipod touch 5g battery life problem?

    Hi everyone, i just got thenew ipod touch 5g 32gb blue about 3 weeks ago and it runs ios 7.0.4. Now i have been thinking that i might have a bad battery because when i play games the battery runs out in labout 2 hours. i play games like wipeout and clash of clans. Also the ipod touch charges in about 45 mins from about 20 percent to 100 percent. On the apple website it said that it should take 4 hours. I use toua abelkins wall charger. Plz help me because i do not want to retuurn this ipod touch and there is no apple store near where i live. P.S. I have already tried restoring it but to no use. Also i would to know why the battery indicator goes up a lttle when i lock my ipod. Is this a ios 7 issue? I have also tried calibrating the ipod touch by letting the batery fully drain and then charging it up to 100 percent but to no avail. My freinds said that you have to completely drain your battery til auto shutdown when you first get it out of the box but i did not do that so could that bethe problem? And when the ipod auto shuts itself down the i plug in the chargers and it boots up right away, i thoutgh it was supposed to take 10 mins??? Plz help me because i love my ipod very much???!!!

    Battery life on the iPod 5 running IOS 7 is well ... poor for gaming. To fully charge it takes around 4 hours +/-. The battery meter jumping around is normal, the metering system on this  iPod is at best an estimate and will vary up and down depending on how hard your working your iPod. Run games or anything with high res. video the meter jumps down, listen to music from you library or put it to sleep and the meter will go up--  And will drive you "NUTS" if you spend to much time watching it. Your game time seems a bit short, but the more stuff going on, higher graphics, using Wi-Fi etc. will drain your iPod in short order. Most seem to get about 3 - 4 hours of gaming, 4 - 6 hours of video, more if watched on lower resolution. 6 - 9 surfing the web,  something around 18 - 20 hours listening to your library with the screen mostly off and about 36 - 40 hours on standby from a fully charged battery. Don't bother with getting the meter replaced with %. It will not work any better, just make you nuts. As for the theory of drain the battery then fully charge it, Bogus! These things use Li-ion batteries, they don't have memory issues like Ni-CAD batteries. Just watch your 20% warning with the battery, thing of it as a low fuel light on your car, when it comes up charge your iPod. You never want to completely drain a Li-ion battery if you ever do it will never charge again, but they have charge protections to prevent you from doing that. Long story short; If your getting something around the use times listed above, it's normal. Goggle C-net about extending battery life many good things to try. Hope this helps, Good luck.
