Calibrating Lowered Max Capacity

I had never calibrated my 1.5 year old Macbook Pro before. I checked the max capacity and it was at 97% of the 4600mAh design capacity. I followed the calibration instructions to a "T" and now it says the max is only 92%. What happened??

You're battery reading is more accurate. You didn't lose anything.

  • Satellite A500-1DU - What is HDD max capacity

    Hello,
    I have to re-install the factory installed Win 7 on my Satellite A500-1DU because I am not able to install SP1.
    The cause is that the product information inside Win 7 is missing.
    Regarding this I like to install a new HDD with more capacity (current 400gb).
    Which HDD can I install and what is the max capacity (1TB, 750gb)?
    BIOS is current.
    Any hint is welcome.
    Thank you in advance

    Hi
    From my knowledge there is no limitation in HDD capacity since the SATA controller is used and the SATA controller should support more than 400GB.

  • My battery has a current max capacity of 97% after only 2 month ...

    Hi everyone.
    I don't know if I'm a little bit paranoid but I just checked the current max capacity of my battery (Macbook Pro 2012 13") with different softwares as Battery Health or Battery Guard (available on the App Store) and it reads 97% after only 2 month and 3 cycles ... Is it normal?
    I'm kinda worried, the loss of capacity seems so fast, to me ...
    More details : this capacity was 100.6% just before I tried to calibrate it. I followed the advices of Battery Health :
    1) Charge the battery until 100%, then wait 2 hours with the Macbook plugged
    2) Use it, until it shuts down by itself, then let the Macbook 5 hours at least without charging it again
    3) Charge the Macbook until 100% again
    After this manipulation, my max capacity lost 3 percent ... Is this something I did? Is it normal?
    Does the Macbook have to calibrate his battery again? Then, what's the manipulation to do to calibrate it (I looked for it on the Apple website, but I can't find a step-by-step)?
    Thank you all

    Battery capacity degrades over the life of the battery for a lot of reasons and will fluctuate from day-to-day by a percent or two.  Instead of using apps to read the battery, you can get all the info you need right from the system itself.  Click the apple in the upper left corner, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power and then just read the battery Capacity, charge Cycles, Condition, and Voltage.  As long as the Condition is Normal you are fine.
    Although Apple says to calibrate the battery by discharging to shutoff and then recharge, that in reality is not good for Lithium-technology, and it does not calibrate the battery, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry.
    If you go to the Battery University site, an independent group that has done a lot of studies of batteries, you can find information on prolonging Lithium-technology battery life.  One thing that is clear is that deep discharge cycles are very degrading on battery life.  Optimum balance of use/life seems to be around a discharge to 50% and then recharge.  Also, temperature is a major player in shortening battery life.
    At thiis point, don't get too hung up on the battery capacity, use the MBP and enjoy it.

  • Max capacity of Mini SD for N80?

    Hi there, can anyone tell me the max capacity the N80 can take please? I heard a 2Gb will work but would a 4Gb or larger? (although not available yet i don't think)? Many thanks ;o)

    no, the point is your making a mistake.
    nokia support the minisd format, it can fit in the phone and the phone can read it. the point you are failing to make is why can it not read every minisd card and why can it not read all capacities.
    the phone cwill have trouble opening larger capacity cards as the software (symbian) cannot cope with it. we are only just seeing 4gb in the n91 - it will take some time for greater memory cards to be supported.
    your point on cd rom is wrong, there are a number of different ISO standards, not all devices will play them. it is the same as dvd...
    you may be better off saying my pc has a 144 dimm slot, therefore it should use all types of dimm together, be they ddr400 ddr800 or rdram.
    you are also mistaken that nokia phones only work with nokia cards, they just tell you dont expect to get support when your card doesnt work. rufao is correct in saying this, if nokia dont make the card, and the card doesnt work (but the nokia one that came with it does) then why should they pat money to support it?
    again, lets look at your point on sony, are they not about to release a hi-dvd format that only their players use and they support? are they not about to enter into a format war over blu-ray?
    all in all patc, all your arguments are incorrect. nokia phones can read minisd cards, not all cards are compatible and this is why many third party sites offer a compatibility list.
    for example, i have a 2gb minisd in my phone it works as the phone can handle that amount of memory. for my psp i bought a sandisk 4gb stick - it doesnt work..... so who do i blame

  • NI9237 calibration in MAX

    Hello,
    I try to calibrate my strain gages.
    My set-up is as follows:
    - strain gage
    - NI9945
    - RJ50 cable
    - NI9237
    - cRIO9024 (DAQmx driver is installed, see Figure 1)
    and LabVIEW 2014 installed
    I would like to start with a calibration in MAX as described in: http://www.ni.com/tutorial/7130/en/
    Unfortunately I am not able to create an "NI-DAQmx Global Virtual Channel"... (see Figure 2, 3)
    At the same time I have programmed the FPGA to gather data with the NI9237.
    This works without any problem and thus the connection, the cRIO, the module are fine. It shoud be kind of a driver-issue..?!?
    Thanks for the help in advance,

  • Current Capacity Max Capacity

    Hi,
    i am working on weblogic 8.1 sp5 ,with the following configuration:
    initial Capacity =20
    max Capacity =20
    Capacity Increment:2
    after fail over operation
    i got that the current Capacity of the pool become 22 which is bigger than max Capacity
    is there a specail problem with this veriosn of weblogic or how can i explain this ?
    Thanks in advance

    Joe,
    Thanks for the reply. The reason why we switched from initial capacity = max capacity stratgey was because of the database issues that we encountered. There was significant DB proceses (resource) consumption although when only 1/4 of connections (in turn db resources) would have been sufficient. I fail to understand why the approach as specified in the current config is not working as desired. You have mentioned about a possibility of a bug. Can you please elaborate or point me to right documentation?
    Also, why is the connection pool itself getting closed frequently (possibly every transaction)?
    Please find the version detail below.

  • Max capacity of ufs filesystem

    What the max capacity of ufs filesystem in solaris for sparc?
    Can it be lager than 10TB?

    From "man ufs":
    Multiterabyte File System
    A multiterabyte file system enables creation of a UFS file
    system up to approximately 16 terabytes of usable space,
    minus approximately one percent overhead. A sparse file can
    have a logical size of one terabyte. However, the actual
    amount of data that can be stored in a file is approximately
    one percent less than one terabyte because of file system
    overhead.
    .. looks like it, i would advise against it though.

  • K8n neo2 hard drive max capacity problem

    My 160 gig hard drive shows a max capacity of 33 gigs.  I've read on the Western Digital support site that it's a Bios issue.  I'm using the 1.1 bios.  
    When I try to reinstall the hd, i make the boot disk using the Data Lifeguard tools, but when i try to boot from either the floppy or even the cd itself, some informations shows up in dos while it's loading the program, but the program never actually starts.  The HD has the Master jumper setting as it is the only hd on that IDE cable, my raptor is in sata port 3.  
    Any Ideas?

    To get 48 bit addressing needed to access more than 128 GB, you need Windows XP SP1 or 2 or Windows 2000 SP3 or 4. You also have to add a registry entry - see
    http://www.48bitlba.com/enablebiglba.htm or http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;305098
    I'm not sure why you don't see 128 GB unless you are using an older version of windows (is this the case?). I would expect any motherboard  made in the last year, especially the Nforce 3 motherboard, to handle the 48-bit addressing.  I would suggest checking the drive jumpering very carefully, noting as one of the other posters has indicated, that the WD drives are jumpered differently for master with slave or master by itself. Normally, I prefer to use Cable select with the 80 wire/40 pin ultra ata type cables. This way one can move drives around without changin the jumpers. Also, it is easy to tell which drive is the master (the one on the end of the cable).
    Another solution is to use a Promise Ultra100 TX2 or equivalent controller. The promise driver handles the 48 bit addressing.

  • Battery Calibration and Charge Capacity?

    I am currently using a PB G4 15" (high res DL SD) and I've had it for about a month. I just read about calibrating the battery and went ahead and did it. Have I done any damage to the battery or shortened it's effectiveness by waiting a month to calibrate rather than when it was first out of the box?
    Also, i also just read about checking the battery charge capacity using the system profiler. My charge capacity prior to calibration was 2731 and after calibration it's 2930. However, it sounds like it should be in the 4400's based on the posts I've read. What do these numbers mean and do I have a faulty battery since it's so low?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Kevin --
    Yeah, I'm not loving those numbers you posted either. I'd try performing the calibration procedure once or twice more to make sure that that battery capacity number doesn't change.
    The other thing I would do if I were you is download Coconutbattery: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27425
    It's a free app available at versiontracker and it will tell you your battery's original capacity as well as it's current capacity.
    I agree with you that a capacity of 2930 mAh after only a month of use and 16 cycles suggests that your battery is defective and should be replaced at no cost to you under the terms of the warranty.
    For a frame of reference, after 10 months of use and 166 load cycles, my battery's original capacity of 4400 mAh is now 4228 mAh. No way yours should be in the 2930 mAh range.
    When you call AppleCare to arrange for a replacement, if in fact that's what you end up needing to do, the agent you speak with, in addition to making sure that you've properly calibrated your battery a few times (as mentioned earlier) may also ask that you reset your PB's Power Management Unit (PMU). While I'm skeptical that a PMU reset will alter the outcome, you can find instructions on how to reset the PMU here (just in case you need to): http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
    Good luck and please post back how everything turns out.
    -- JDee
    PS. You probably know this, but the calibration procedure has been changed slightly for your DL hi-res version of the PB. Here it is below, just to make sure:
    PowerBook G4 (15-inch Double-Layer SD)
    The battery calibration for the PowerBook G4 (15-inch Double-Layer SD) has been updated because of a new battery released with this computer. With these computers, follow these steps to calibrate your battery:
    Plug in the power adapter and fully charge your PowerBook's battery until the light ring on the power adapter plug changes to green and the onscreen meter in the menu bar indicates that the battery is fully charged.
    Allow the battery to rest in the fully charged state for at least two hours. You may use your computer during this time as long as the adapter is plugged in.
    Disconnect the power adapter with the computer still on and start running the computer off battery power. You may use your computer during this time. When your battery gets low, you will see the low battery warning dialog on the screen.
    Continue to keep your computer on until it goes to sleep. Save all your work and close all applications when the battery gets very low, before the computer goes to sleep.
    Turn off the computer or allow it to sleep for five hours or more.
    Connect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery is fully charged again.
    Tip: When the battery reaches "empty", the computer is forced into sleep mode. The battery actually keeps back a reserve beyond "empty", to maintain the computer in sleep for a period of time. Once the battery is truly exhausted, the computer is forced to shut down. At this point, with the safe sleep function introduced in the PowerBook G4 (15-inch Double-Layer SD) computers, the computer's memory contents have been saved to the hard drive. When power is restored, the computer returns itself to its pre-sleep state using the safe sleep image on the hard drive.

  • Max capacity of RAM for Satellite A100 PSAANH-04Y03F?

    Hello,
    I have finally decided to upgrade the ram from my A100 that I bought back in 2007.
    The problem is that I don't how what the maximum capacity is.
    I suspect that it is 2GB, but I'm curious about if it'll take 4GB.
    The reason why I haven't found any information myself is because I have no clue what model my A100 is.
    It says "Satellite A100 SYSTEM UNIT MODEL NO. *PSAANH-04Y03F*" on the bottom of the notebook.
    Googling that gives me 0 search results :/
    Help would be greatly appreciated!

    What chipset has been built in the notebook?
    The max RAM depends on the chipset.
    You can use an tool like *Everest Home Edit* to check the chipset.
    Then you could search for chipset properties.

  • HP G70-120EM - Memory Question - Max Capacity

    Hi,
    I have a HP G70-120EM laptop. I am looking to increase the memory capacity with a pair of matched modules, as big as possible.
    Ive got:
    1 x 1GB Hynix PC2-5300
    1 x 2GB Transcend  PC2-5300
    667 MHz
    Now, the specification says memory max = 3GB, but can be up to PC2-6400 800Mhz.
    I suspect that this 3GB cap is due to the laptop coing with vista 32bit, but ive now installed Windows 7 64bit.
    So, whats the max the laptop can handle?
    Can it take 2 x 2GB or 2 x 4GB? Or is it really limited to 3GB?
    Im looking to put as much as possible in there at the maximum speed of PC2-6400.
    Thanks in advance.

    Huffer, Thanks for the reply.
    Ive managed to source a document through this website.
    HP G70 Notebook PC
    Compaq Presario CQ70 Notebook PC
    Maintenance and Service Guide
    Document Part Number: 485462-001
    September 2008
    In this document on page 8 it says
    Supports dual-channel memory
    Supports up to 4 GB of system memory
    Supports PC2-6400, 800-MHz, DDR2 and
    PC2-5300, 667-MHz, DDR2
    So i think ive found the answer i was looking for yet, what you have said contradicts this. I was planning 2 x 2GB of 800mhz memory running in dual channel.
    Have you tried this and it did not work or was you speculating?
    I was going to pay £70 for the sticks today, but if you know that it is not going to work then ill simply grab another transcend 2GB 667 module and leave it at that.
    Thanks a lot.

  • My (C:) drive went to nearly half the max capacity after complete factory restore.

    So, about a month ago I recovered my notebook pc to factory defaults because of a strange issue that would not allow me to open up to the login screen. After recovery and the re-configuration of all my preferences and whatnot I noticed a few differences. The first thing I noticed is when I change volume or screen brightness via f2-3 and f9-10 I no longer get a screen apearance of the current level. But the second thing I noticed was that my pc memory unit now only had a capacity of 76 GB. I then used the manage computer option to find out how much my space should be. It does say 76 under (C but if I look down it says that the capacity of "Disk 0" is 284.07 GB. I am not sure what went wrong, but my only idea so far is that maybe my old files are still here somewhere on my pc. I did notice that when using the Xbox 360 network streaming ability I saw both my new file "Hayden-PC" and "Hayden-HP". Which immediately made me think that the files existed somewhere. This is a huge issue as my computer now gets slower much faster and I constantly have to go through and delete anything I don't need. Please repy as soon as possible.

    @HaydenEvanoff,
    Do you see a folder called windows.old on your C drive?
    How was the recovery performed? List the specific steps and what media, if any, was used. I suspect you are correct in that the old Windows installation is still present, but this should not be the case if an official HP recovery was performed.
    What is the exact model and product number of the unit?
    NOTE: Do not provide the serial number.
    Also, provide a screen shot of what disk management shows as well. This may provide some insight.
    Go to Start, right-click Computer, and select manage.
    Select Disk Management and maximize the window to show all it has. Windowed mode may cut off parts of it.
    Take a screenshot of this and upload it in your next post. This can be done in the reply window by clicking the image icon and selecting browse. Be sure to chose the largest option for it.

  • Max capacity for sd card slot Mac Mini mid 2010

    Has anyone with a MAC Mini mid 2010 tried using the SD card slot for an extended drive?  I'm wondering what the max size is for the slot, and if I put a 64-128 gig SD Card in, would OS X 10.8.2 be able to combine that with an internal HD to create a "fusion drive"?

    Your Mid 2010 Mac mini doesn't support SDXC, so you can't use this type of cards. Fusion Drive needs an SSD and a hard drive on the same Mac mini, so an SD won't work with this

  • Harddrive max capacity has decreased after reinstalling OSX

    I recently deleted my harddrive using the disk utility that came with my macbook. I then created a new partition in hopes of reinstalling the OS except that the maximum size availble for my partition is now 110gb when before it was at 120gb
    What happened? How do I fix this?
    Any help appreciated.

    Nothing really magical about it. I'm impressed you're impressed but there really isn't much about which to be impressed. Impressing, isn't it?
    Computers only can count in binary or Base 2. So on the computer 1 Gb is 1,024^3 or 1,073,741,824 bytes. Drive mfgrs. use Base 10 arithmetic so their 1 GB is 1,000,000,000. As you can see dividing the first by the second indicates a difference of just around 7%. This means that a 120 GB drive capacity in Base 10 translates to a 111 GB drive in Base 2. Either way the amount of storage is the same. The latter, however, more accurately reflects how the computer is keeping track. Under the hood it's always Base 2.

  • VTrak E/J-Class for OS X Max Capacity

    Hi all
    Recently I cam to own a "VTrak E-Class for OS X". What is the maximum HDD size I can use on it? The web-site is not clear about it. The only information I could find is the maximum number of bays (HHDs) I can have attached to it (using a Class J).

    I found the answer Max HDD size is 6TB. 16 bays x 6TB = 96TB per unit
