How good is IdeaPad s205 battery life?

According to the s205's datasheet it can last approximately 5 hours, which seems strange to me, because AMD Fusion is pretty power-efficient and other E350-powered devices boast up to 8 hours on one charge with the same battery capacity. I do like this laptop's design and features, but battery life is very important to me, so could please s205 owners describe battery life and usage conditions of their laptops?

i have this computer and the battery is really bad. doesnt last two hours. i use this computer one or two hours a day and i have been using it for one year. now i have a message that tells me i have to replace battery. lenovo really does bad on batteries i have a lenovo essecial g 530 and its bad too. battery sucks

I was not aware of the fact one could use ringtones as alarms, this will suffice! Although I foresee some very awkward times as the sound does not stop once I respond to the reminder (it keeps going for good five - ten seconds after I "stop" the reminder), but it's better than missing it altogether!
Thank you very much!
Regarding the Alarmed app, doesn't it have to be running to actually remind you?
-Modular747: I don't know anyone who actually reads the terms of service agreement, those things are usually up to thirty, small print pages full of legal jargon. Rules, I do read - not the legal documents (also they often contradict the laws in my country, but that's a whole different story).
I agree with you - the average customer support consultant mostly cares about keeping his job and earning his salary (don't we all?) and thus racking up completted tasks (i.e. getting rid of customers as fast as possible - in a good mood). The "threat" none the less is real, if a cell phone causes me more trouble than it is worth, I will indeed throw it away (I have done so before) - and recommend a different brand to anyone willing to listen.
Don't get me wrong, I love Apple and I've been faithfully using and recommending their producs for twenty years now, not because of fanboyism, but because they earned it. This calendar issue, however, is like a toaster that doesn't automatically eject the toast at the set time. I see it as a major flaw and after googling around a bit I see that it's been around since at least 2007 (THAT'S SEVEN YEARS!!) so I strongly believe they are aware of this problem by now, but are choosing to ignore it for some mysterious reason and it really ****** me off.
I will send the feedback but based on my observations I suspect the Send button is merely a cleverly disguised Delete button.

Just like it had nevr been damaged; fully dischagre and charge monthly, minimize battery drain so you minimize charge/dischare cycles.

Take a look at this to make sure your settings are optimized to the best it can be.
If all else fails, try and restore through iTunes, set up as a new iPhone and manually sync your apps and media back to your iPhone.
If still persists after this, you might call Applecare and see if they can run a battery diagnogstics..

If i download CAD software how will it affect my battery life and macbook speed?

If i download CAD software how will it affect my battery life and computer speed?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
CAD software requires the best CPU and GPU performance, so your battery life will be affected while running CAD apps. The same will happen with your computer performance with other apps, so if you do not need any application while using CAD apps, it is better to close them.
However, your battery life and your computer performance will be the same if they are closed. The only exception would be if your MacBook's hard drive is running out of free space

How to extend iPad's battery life? I've tried everything possible

So basicaly I have this iPad 3 for 2 years now, and the battery keeps on draining. I'm not sure if it reached it charging times limit. I've tried everything possible, disable unneeded stuff, turn off background refresh, auto brightness etc. I've even booked a Genius Bar appointment and the person checked my iPad's calibration and it was OK, and he said its not needed and the cost (in CAD) would be about the same for a new iPad. Also charging is freaking slow too, even when I don't use the iPad while charging. Solutions will be appreciated if there's none I'll wait until the holidays and buy a iOS 8 iPad

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good. If your computer/iTunes does not recognize the iPad, then the cable is probably bad.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

How long is the actual battery life of Macbook Pro?

what i don't get is how fast my battery drains out...
my primary usage is document study, photograph editing
web browsing. and occasional accompaniment of music in the back.
my battery life at the moment lasts for 6 hours max..
what should i do to get optimum battery life!??

My empirical experience shows that I get 60% to 70% of Apples advertised hours. That is reflecting my 'normal' operating conditions. Web, email, with iTunes in the background as well as Activity Monitor. CPU intensive applications such as Aperture, Toast, Video viewing etc. drive battery life way down.
Six hours is most acceptable. That is 'good' in real world conditions.

HT1414 how do I optimize the battery life of my ipad?

I need suggestions on how to maximize battery life. It seems to discharge much quicker than I expected. I have also had times when it has completely discharged while it was sleeping. Diagnostics run and hardware is ok. In the process of restoring and restarting. Any other suggestions?

There are some very good tips here. You'll also want to make sure bluetooth is turned off if it was off prior to the update. The update turns bluetooth back on. And make sure you don't have any out-of-control processes running that may be killing the battery. The out-of-control process is probably your issue as it was dying when sleeping.

I recently just updated my iPhone 4s to 5.0.1 and I am losing battery life at a faster rate. How do I help my battery life or can I go back to the old system?

This is my first iPhone I am having problems with my battery life. I recently updated to the new operating system for the iPhone 4S. I am losing battery life at a quick rate is there anything that I can do.

You can search the forum and read the many helpful posts with suggestions on how to improve your battery life.

How I fixed my short battery life on iPhone 5, and ActiveSync problems at the same time.

For anyone still having activesync or battery problems I have a potential fix:
I've had two issues lately.
First, my battery life was draining at an insane rate. iPhone5 lasted about 3-4 hours before absolutely dead from a full charge. LTE disabled, WiFi disabled, icloud turned off...about as power efficient as I could make it, and I was hardly using it at all. I was losing 1% batt every 2-4 minutes.
I solved this problem by removing my work account (Exchange Activesync) from my mail accounts. Obviously I couldn't stay like that for very long, so after confirming it stemmed the battery issue, I tried to add it back. Did a bunch of different methods and tests, and what ended up working for me was:
Remove ALL accounts (Had Exchange, gmail, icloud)
hard reset the phone.
After it came back up, I reset the Network Settings just for good measure.
In Mail control panel, make sure "Default Account" doesn't have an old mail account listed (option may be not even present if you've removed all accounts, but I was having issues earlier where even though I'd removed accounts, it kept listing them in the Default Account/Calendar sections
Add the Account
Open Mail
It actually took a min or two to start populating data, I didn't think it had worked, so give it a few minutes.
My battery life issue seems to be fixed, and my ActiveSync account works again. I've been off the charge for about 4h 40m now, and battery is at 90%, and that's with moderate usage on LTE.
Hopefully this helps out anyone having similar issues. For what it's worth, I removed/readded my Exchange account several times and it never worked until I had removed all accounts (my iCloud account was the last one to be removed), so if possible, just remove everything. I had already restored, DFU'd, and tried several other steps. This was what worked for me.
I have NOT added my iCloud account back yet, but will be doing this now to see if any issues reappear.

I am experiencng rapid battery drain as well. Before checking the forums I have closed apps running in background, turned off LTE, turned off location services, turned off wi-if & turned off Bluetooth...my battery drained to 53% in 3 1/2 hours.
This is my 1st personal iDevice so I do not understand some of the verbiage.

How do I fix the battery life for my iPod touch?

It has a very low battery life. I can only use apps for 1-2 hours. Please help me! Thanks

See this article for different ways to preserver and extend your iPod's battery life and health.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html
How old is the iPod and are you letting it charge to full capacity each time? Batteries do wear out over time and lose their ability to maintain a full charge at max capacity. It could just be a sign that the battery is wearing out and in need of replacement.

IdeaPad S205 Battery Not Charging problem

Hello, I have a Lenovo IdeaPad S205, and have run into some trouble. The charger recently stopped working properly, and I bought a replacement - the original charger has an output of 20V, whereas the replacement has an output of 19V. However, I wouldn't think this would make a difference. This said, when I plugged in the new charger, it said "plugged in, not charging". I took the battery out, and put it back in again, as I have had a similar trouble before, and doing this fixed it. The system stayed running while the battery was out, and I've noticed the battery percentage is not going down while this replacement is plugged in. Also, the original now seems to do the same - "plugged in, not charging". Can anyone offer any assistance?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi Ben_R,
That's odd. Can you try to::
1. Turn the computer ON just with the AC adapter and when Windows loads up, slide the battery back in place and observe.
2. Turn off the machine with the battery inserted. While the machine is off, plug the AC adapter and observe if the battery gets charged.

HOW IS YOUR IPHONE 4 BATTERY LIFE ?

HEY EVERYBODY , JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU GUYS WHO ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET YOUR HANDS ON AN IPHONE 4 , HOW IS YOUR DEVICES BATTERY LIFE? IS ANYONE CHANGING THERE SETTINGS ? JUST TO GET SOME IMPUT FROM OTHER PEOPLE. I GET WITH MEDIUM USAGE , ABOUT CLOSE TO TWO DAYS TILL I HAVE TO CHARGE IT.....
Joey

I've noticed much better battery life with my ip4. After taking it off the charger on July 7 at 4:30 am, right now I'm at 4 hours, 46 minutes of usage and 30 hours of standby time and still have 52% of my battery left.
I don't need push so I leave that off, blue tooth is off until I need it, 3g on all the time, wi-fi on at home, I tend to close out any apps on my multi-tasking bar. Over night I didn't have it on the charger (just want to see how long I can go on a single charge with the new phone) and lost only 3% of the battery which from what I've read on these forums is normal.
I'm very pleasantly surprised by the stellar battey on this phone. I didn't really think I had battery issues with my 3gs either but the difference is quite obvious. With the 3gs, less usage and fewer hours of standy time (by the end of the day-10 pm, for example) had me at 30-40% of battery life left.
I'm quite happy with the new phone
