How do I troubelsho​ot "low battery level detected" message?

I recently restored my Windows 7 Home Premium to its factory default settings through hp recovery manager. All went fine but I am getting this really annoying message at the startup that "low battery level detected" and the battery needs to be replaced. Before the restore operation, I was getting almost 3 hours of battery support and after the restore I am now getting only half an hour.
I am sure its not the battery, there is something else.
I have tried updating the BIOS.
Tried calibrating the battery.
I even have calculated the battery rated output voltages and its giving in 11.02 V even after the system recognizes the battery completely drained. There is nothing wrong with the battery.
Can anyone help me out?
Regards,
Farhat.

  • IPhone 4S switches off at low battery levels

    Hello everyone,
    My iPhone 4S with less than 2 years is having problems. It powers off when it reaches (not so) low battery levels. It happened at as high as 16% of battery, and although it mostly happens when I try to open apps like Facebook or the Camera, it has happened also with stuff like the Phone app. It gets even worse, because although it still has more than 10% battery charge, the only way to power it up again is by pluging it to the transformer.
    Could this be battery related or is this a know iOS issue? I have been really careful with the battery since day one, so I would expect not to have such problems. It's really annoying, because I now have 85% of battery usage, not 100%, and I never know when it's going to power off next.
    Can anyone relate to this? Any suggestions about what I should try to fix it?
    I'm on the latest update of iOS 7.
    Thanks a lot!

    The best way to test the battery and make sure the level being displayed is as correct as it can be is to let the battery die completely, then plug it in to charge to 100% without using it. After that, see when it powers off. You can also make an appointment at the Genius Bar at Apple or your Authorized Apple Service Provider and they can test your battery.

  • 6750 How can I get a ''Low Battery Alert'' from my...

    I have recently bought  a 6750. At one point I realized that my phone died without any warning. Went through the User Guide, nothing.
    Went through the phone and only found one thing under: >Settings > Tones > Other Tones, ON or OFF. I set it to ON.
    Is this going to solve my problem or is there something else that I need to set?
    How can a mobile not come by default with a low battery alert?
    Maybe the OVI Suite should have a GUI to help setup the phone with all the proper instructions?

    the only way to find out if warning tones set to on will work is to let the battery run low again
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

    It's probably the battery indicator, not the battery itself.  Run it down until it shuts down automatically.  Ignore any low battery alerts that appear.  Then, charge it overnight with the 10W charger.  That should clear things for you.

  • How can I stop the low battery indicator from flashing!?!?!?

    Hi -
    My mouse's batteries are low. But they take a week before they actually give up completely. During that time the bluetooth low batter indicator flashes. I've tried going into preferences and telling it not to show, but no luck.
    Isn't there some way to tell it to shut up? I just don't see a reason to change the batteries a week early if it works just fine during that time...
    Thanks!

    Annoying huh?
    What's worse is it takes a week for the batteries to actually die so the mouse is unusable...

  • Low battery level indicated on BT Keyboard

    I went several months on the included alkaline batteries that were included on the included Apple BT Keyboard. After that I switched to Energizer Rechargeable (2500 mAh), and since then performance has been very poor. I can put in a fresh pair and I'm lucky if it shows 50% battery life. Constant disconnects, as well as the range of the device seems less. Is the keyboard a demanding device, are these batteries underpowered? I've had no issues with these batteries in other devices, including the magic mouse.

    Rechargeable batteries are only 1.2 volts as opposed to the alkaline batteries which are 1.5 volts. It will not show 100%. I just put rechargeable batteries in my mouse. It showed 75% at first. Quickly went to 50% from there, but, they are holding up well since. I plan to use the alkaline in the keyboard since they last a long time as oppose to the mouse.
    Try putting alkaline back in the keyboard and see if you get 100% reading. I don't think the keyboard is more demanding, but since it uses less battery than the mouse, I would just leave use the alkaline if you have no problems with them.

  • Battery shows incorrect time and no notification on low battery

    Hi everyone,
    I have just purchased a new battery, of course its not an original one. The problem is that my battery meter shows the percentage incorrectly. Like it says 42% remaining, but suddenly my laptop got in to hibernation (as i set the action to perform upon low battery level reaches). Now what can be the issue? As the battery new and its working fine, i mean its giving me backup of 2+ hours. Oh, and my laptop is DV6-2157wm with Windows 7 Home Editions (64-bit).
    Waiting for your kind suggestions and tips.
    Take care,
    Regards
    Fahad Ali

    Please have a look here.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Battery-meter-frequently-asked-questions
    Why does the time remaining on the battery meter change drastically sometimes?
    Battery life depends primarily on two things: what you do on the mobile PC while it's running on battery power, and the power plan settings that control the computer's use of power. The mobile PC's power consumption varies constantly, depending on your particular activity and how long you spend on that activity. For instance, watching a DVD consumes considerably more battery power than reading and writing e-mail. For these reasons, the battery meter often lags in reporting the charge and the estimated time remaining.
    hence battery meter is never so accurate. older the battery, chances are more of sudden drop.

  • Satellite L300 - I can't turn up the volume for a low battery

    Hello dear Toshiba users
    My english is not very well.
    I have a Toshiba notebook L300 Satellite
    My problem is that i can't turn up the volume for a low battery
    Is there any one who knows how i can resolve it?
    thanx

    Hi
    I think you want to enable the sound notification when battery gets empty.
    Is it right?
    Well, you can do this in Vista Power settings
    I assume you are using the Vista OS and therefore this battery notification can be enabled in Vista Power settings.
    Please check this Toshiba doc.

    There you can find the settings for battery. Its called Low battery level

  • Level detection PXI 6624

    Hi all,
    I am trying to find out some details about the level detection in PXI 6624.I have a very simple timing measurement to perform. Start trigger at P1@9V and stop the trigger when P2 @-9V and measure the time elapsed( expected time is 1-1.4sec)
    How to configure the CounternGate  Signal in level detection mode? The UserManual says it is possible. I need help figuring this out.I see there is optical isolation for the inputs and I would think the inputs are only Supply/Gnd referenced.
    Appreciate any help.
    Neha 

    Hi Neha-
           I was looking a little further into your question and I made some assumptions in my previous post that I should clarify/possibly retract.  The 6624 is a counter/timer card.  In the user manual it clarifies that digital low is anything below 0.8V and high is guaranteed anything above 4V.  So, in reading your first post over, I assume that you are reading two square waves that jump from 0-9V, correct?  One on P1 and the other on P2, with one line inverted?  Then it sounds like you want to measure the time between the 9V on P1 and the -9V on P2, correct?
         If my understanding is now correct, then you should not use the level trigger detection example in LabVIEW, since it is for one signal on an analog line.  Instead, what you should use is two-signal edge-separation, which measures the time between two different edges of two different signals.  Using the timebase, this measurement begins counting on the first active edge on the AUX line and latches the count into memory on the first active edge of the gate.  What occurs internally is that a pulse is created with the first active edge of the AUX line and ends on the first active edge of the gate.  The counter then performs pulse width measurement on this created pulse.
         Here is a link to a page on our website that will help you with this task:
    KnowledgeBase 2D9G49EV: How Can I Measure the Time Between the Rising Edges of Two Digital Signals?
         If, however, you are measuring two analog signals, you will need to get a DAQ card with analog inputs.  If this is the case, I will refer you to our technical sales department at  (800)-433-3488. 
         I apologize for any confusion, and hope this clarifies what you need!

  • Cannot lower Critical Battery Level in Power Options

    I am wanting to adjust the Critical Battery Level in Power Options to something lower than the default 7% that HP has set. When I try to change the number, it will not save and it just magically jumps back to 7%. This means that my laptop will hibernate when the battery level reaches 7% and I cannot turn it back on unless I plug it into AC power. 7% equates to roughly 40 minutes of battery time and I find this setting way too conservative.
    I have done some research on this issue and have found the following:
    Some suggest that PC manufacturers will somehow lock this setting to an arbitrary minimum and the user cannot change it to anything below this minimum (it appears HP have set it at 7% in my instance).
    This link suggests using power.cfg and the command line to make the changes How To Lower the Critical Battery Level to 1% in Windows 7
    Steps I have taken to try and resolve this:
    I have tried the powercfg.exe method described in the aforementioned link to change the critical battery level to 3% and initially it appears to work. When I open up the Power Options screen, it indeed says 3%. However, when I actually test it out by using the laptop, it will still automatically hibernate at 7% battery level - it simply ignores the 3% setting.
    I have also tried using powercfg.exe to change the Critical Battery Action to "Do Nothing" and likewise this setting is ignored and the laptop hibernates anyway.
    I have phoned HP support and the only useful information that I got from them so far, is that the PC manufacturer has set it to 7% and it cannot be changed. They said they will escalate this matter to the research team and give me a call back.
    I phoned Microsoft support and the consultant seemed to be confident that he could fix the issue but would not divulge the answer because he said that doing so would void the HP warranty and he didn't want to be to one to do that. He suggested that I call HP and request a conference call with Microsoft and they could then fix it. He seemed to be of the belief that if HP has set the 7% minimum that they should be the one to remove the limit.
    If nothing works, I wonder if completely formatting the laptop (including removing the HP recovery partition) and then reinstalling a different Windows 8.1 (or Windows 7) will let me have full customization of the Critical Battery Level?
    I would really appreciate your thoughts on how to fix this. It really fustrates me that HP thinks they know better and that the user needs to have 7% battery reserved - it is such a waste not to be able to utilize a battery to its full potential.

    Hi @Sparkles1 ,
    There must be an alternative solution to this.
    What is the reasoning behind HP locking this setting at 7% minimum?  I understand that a battery should not be run down to 0% as this will damage the battery but 7% is unreasonably high and in fact this does not conform with ACPI standard specification.  I refer to the following document: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn481320%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
    In particular, please see the table where it says that the critical battery level must be set to a value between 0 and 5%
    Can you please advise how to change this?  I believe this is a software related issue (specifically, the battery drivers).  Can you issue an alternative driver to install?  If you insist that it cannot be done, I will have no other option than to return the laptop and request a full refund.

  • Playbook stuck on 'Battery Level Critically Low' screen.

    I know there's 100's of forums about the Playbook's battery problems. Just hear me out, please. Nearly 3 weeks ago, my Playbook died on me. It was stuck at 11% power, I tried charging with the charging it came with, nothing. When it went flat, I tried stack charging. No luck there either. Later, I bout a rapid travel charger, tried stack charging, nada. (I did get the LED activity and sceens the support page mentioned). Leaving it charging for a while, it was able to get the the home screen, but refused to charged. Since my Playbook was able to recieve power when connected to the rapid charger, I connected my Playbook via USB. I made a backup and I wiped the OS through the Desktop Manager because I thought my Playbook was bricked. My problem still wasn't fixed. I forgot that I still needed 20% power to install the OS, and since my Playbook refuses to charge, I'm stuck on a screen saying: 'Battery Level Criticaly Low' with a RED battery icon with a lightingbolt through it, with 0% on top of it, telling me to connect it to a power source, even known its connected to my Rapid Charger. I have no idea what to do now. Disconnecting the Rapid Charger immediatly shuts-off my Playbook. I also noticed something wierd. If connected to a Rapid Charger alone, when I disconnect it while a RED battery icon appears, it shuts-off right away, I don't get the icon telling me to reconnect. But when I have to connected to the Rapid Charger AND my PC via USB, I get an icon telling me to reconnect to a power source when I remove the Rapid Charger. My problem still remains. Even if a leave it charging while connected to my PC, and it boots-up, I still get the 'Battery Level Critically Low' screen. It still shuts-off when I disconnect the charger. Any tips? I've tried the Jump-Boost, stack charging and the 'Battery Characteristics' page wasn't much help either. My Playbook is still alive, I just need to find out how to make it charge. I'll draw a diagram of what's happening and post it here if you need it.

    Assuming the rapid charger is the three pin magnetic type made by Blackberry, that charger almost always will charge a good playbook. Disconnecting the rapid charger should give the same red battery icon, but it doesnt. As it seems neither route will charge it I suspect the battery, the battery strap or the motherboard has a dry joint. If you cant get to it and find it by removing the back of the playbook, I would assume its days are over.
    If so the backup will be of no use unless you can get another playbook. 
    Last resorts before getting out the spudgers...
    Leave on rapid charger overnight.  Press power button for 20 sec every so often next day whilst on charge.
    Or
    Leave connected to a non sleeping laptop usb overnight. Playbooks in standby will usually accept a trickle charge that way.

  • I recently discovered my ipod touch would no longer turn on. All it does is show the low battery sign, and that is if it's connected to a computer. No matter how long I leave it charging, it does that. Is there a way to fix it?

    Hi, I recently discovered my ipod touch would no longer turn on. I've tried everything! All it does is show the low battery sign, and that is if it's connected to a computer. No matter how long I leave it charging, it does that. Is there a way to fix it? All I want are my contacts and my old calendar back. These did not sync with iTunes like my photos, music, and video. I can probably get an older, replacement iPod, but I don't want to have to readd all my important dates and reminders, as well as contact information. I guess I have two questions:
    1) is there a way to get my ipod to start working again?
    2) is there a way to get my old contacts and calendar back again?

    Try here:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    To get the calender and contacts back if you can't get the iPod working is to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old one.

  • How to suppress low battery warning on iPhone

    Hi,
    I need to be able to suppress low battery warnings since they can mess up the way the app works. Is there any way to do this?
    Also, if there is a way to calculate how full the battery is, that would be very interesting.
    Thanks!

    I'm pretty sure nobody would want you to do that.

  • How can I get the battery level of a connected Bluetooth device on my iPhone 4S?

    My Bluetooth device is the Merkury Hexagon Bluetooth speaker, I want to know how to get the its battery level, In the manual, it says there: "Speaker battery indicator will show right on your media device (iOS support only)
    Additional details:
    - I have the latest iOS
    - Not jailbroken
    - The speaker doesn't have a "battery indicator" on it

    this is not a build in part of any bluetooth profiles so to get that feature one needs third party software from the maker of the bluetooth device installed on the device in question
    so maybe you should look for apps made for mercury hexagon in app store?
