Lenovo b570e "Plugged In, Not Charging"

Recently Bought the new laptop Lenovo B570e.
Few days back, the battery icon said "Plugged In, Not Charging"
After googling with the issue I found one fix that worked, it is as follows:
Disconnect AC
Shutdown
Remove battery
Connect AC
Startup
Under the Batteries category, right-click all of the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery listings, and select Uninstall (it’s ok if you only have 1).
Shutdown
Disconnect AC
Insert battery
Connect AC
Startup
However, today i experienced the same problem and i went for the same fix as above, but it didnt work...
Please Suggest me a permanent solution for this problem!
Solved!

Lenovo G700 Plugged In Not Charging

My Lenovo G700, which is a week old, is saying that it is "plugged in, not charging". It was working fine until last night when I closed the lid to put it into sleep mode for the first time. I have checked that it is set to maximum battery life and it is still not working. It's stuck on 98%. I am severely disappointed that something like this has happened a week into having my first Lenovo. I hope someone can help me rectify this problem.

hi Zadeth,
Welcome to the Forums.
Can you try to:
1. Turn off the machine and remove the AC adapter and battery
2. Hold the power button for 10secs then plug the AC adapter back in.
3. Turn the computer ON and when it gets to Windows, slide the battery back in place and observe the charge.
Alternatively, try to use the battery charge until it asks you to plug the AC adapter and observe if the charge goes all the way to 100%.
Let me know your findings
Regards

Lenovo P580 battery "plugged in, not charging" problem?

Hi, I have a Lenovo P580 that is almost 3 years old, and I recently bought a new battery from Amazon to replace the original battery that came with the laptop. However, after installing the new battery, I can't get it to charge with the AC adapter plugged in. The new battery had a 60% charge initially. I currently have the battery setting in "battery fully-charged mode." The battery indicator light is red and flashes quickly, regardless of whether the AC adapter is plugged in or not (and despite having 60% charge). In the bottom right-hand corner of the desktop taskbar, the battery is recognized as being "plugged in, not charging." Is there a way to get the battery to charge? Or should I return the battery and get a different one? I really don't think the battery is the problem, but who knows. Thanks.

hi MlodyDziura,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Can you Verify that when the Computer is Plugged in and Turned on the battery icon on the lower right states that it is Plugged in not Charging.
And how many Percent it says on the status.
Thanks

Plugged in, not charging - PLEASE HELP

Hi,
I have a T61 and from yesterday my battery is not charging. I have a 9 cell battery and when I plug in the AC adapter, it shows "plugged in, not charging" status on the battery icon in the system tray. Could someone please help asap?
Thanks,
Animesh

so if you unplug the ac does the battery discharge?
Try to uninstall Thinkvantage power manager and then reinstall it.

G560 64-bit Windows 7 : Plugged in ,Not Charging

Hi,
I'm facing a problem with my Lenovo G560 (64-bit Windows 7 and i3 ). I'm not able to power on my laptop without connecting to the power outlet. Once the Windows started the battery icon shows 100%(Plugged in , not charging). If I remove it from the power it is getting shutdown immediately. Will it be a battery problem ? Any OS update might not have compatible with the hardware or drivers ?
Can any one please suggest a solution for this problem?
Thanks in Advance !
Regards,
Aswathy

Hi
Welcome to community
Since you are not getting any backup from the battery and you are able to use the system when Ac adaptor is connected
Please remove your battery from the system , then reconnect it back again . Now connect AC adaptor
Also try updating the Bios

You may receive an error while updating battery is not detected
Hope This Helps

V570 plugged in not charging message

I have my laptop v570 plugged in but i'm getting a plugged in not charging message i have it set to best battery health it's at 71% and not charging

hi la321,
thanks for using Lenovo Community forums!
Best battery health setting will actually stop the charging to a specific point. and that is the message that will show up.
Can you try changing to Maximum battery life and restart the system see if it would still say that battery message.
thanks

T400: plugged in, not charging

I got a T400 a month ago and now it is having a battery problem. It says "plugged in, not charging" when I mouse over the battery system tray icon.
I've checked the battery maintenance tab in power options, and it is set to "always fully charge." I've also tried the other settings to no avail. The battery is at 32% so it should definitely be charging. I've tried restarting, installing the latest power manager driver. Still not charging.
Another side-issue that is really annoying: My lenovo power manager won't open when I right click the windows battery icon and click "Power manager." It seems to work when I click the link from the Thinkvantage menu (from the Thinkvantage keyboard button). But from the system tray icon, it just opens the splash screen and then disappears. The PWMUI.exe is running in task manager, but the power manager doesn't seem to be open otherwise. Any suggestions?

Let me guess Win 7 OS with Power Manager version 3?

B560 Plugged in Not Charging

I'm posting on behalf of my sister who owns a B560, Model 4330.
Her laptop is plagued with the "Plugged in Not Charging" issue. So far Lenovo support has done the following (in order):
--Reloaded the power management application
--Asked her to return the laptop for warranty service at which time they replaced a "connector."
--Sent a new battery
Since the problem persists, they now want her to implement the One Key Recovery, which will essentially wipe the hard drive. I've advised her not to do this only because I am not confident that it will solve the problem. The laptop is still under warranty.
Does anyone have experience with this? The One Key Recovery approach seems like awfully harsh medicine. At what point will Lenovo support simply give up and replace her laptop?
Thanks . . . Steve

there are some suggestions from the link below. take a look at them first, if it doesn't work, call support line for possible battery replacement.

U330: "plugged in, not charging"

Hello all,
I posted this "poor battery life on U330" tread but I'll probably get more advice by starting a new one.
My U330 is not charging anymore. What I see is the message "plugged in, not charging". After searching in the Google I noticed this is not a Lenovo's only issue. Perhaps is a problem of Windows Vista, I don't know. The first time it occurred, as suggested by someone on the internet, I removed the battery, and after a few minutes put back again. It did work on the first time, but not anymore.
Does someone know the origin and how to solve this issue?
Thank you very much,
Lucio.

Guess till today you solved it already, but if not here is my "solution" for this.
Discharge fully till 0. If your system will shut down try starting computer and go to BIOS and discharge further in BIOS till computer will shut down due to lack of power. Then plug charger on switched off computer and leave it like this for 10-15hours.
Had something similiar and only "solution" was to discharge further as only then comuter was starting to charge. If I'm not mistaken this happend only when I discharge till quite low level.

W520 - Plugged In Not Charging

Hi,
    I received a new W520 two days ago. I noticed the battery was stuck on 96% and there was an icon in the taskbar with the message "Plugged In, Not Charging".
   On further research, I discovered that this is a normal condition that has to do with the Lenovo Power Manager. My charging threshold was set to 96%.
   I hope this post saves some other folks from worrying.

Yes, you can set the charging thresholds yourself. I use AC most of the time so I set the thresholds to 10% and 90% to prolong the battery's lifetime.

G550 plugged in not charging

Hello
I have a lenovo g550 with windows 7, as you can tell I have the plugged in not charging issue, I think it was caused by leaving the battery flat for 3 days?
Anyway iv tried downloading the thinkvadvantage program and it says no* battery installed , my battery power is at 0% so as soon as I unplug my charger it shuts down,
thank you in advance to all the people that will help (:
Moderator edit: Added system type to subject.

are you under warranty it maybe a motherboard issue, because even dead batteries show up ( they do on my thinkpads) you can test the battery with multimeter
Thinkpad R61 7733-1GU
Thinkpad X61T 7762-54U

M5400 plugged in not charging

Hello!
Yesterday i bought brand new Lenovo m5400, and after installing Lenovo Solution Center and Power Managment, my battery went plugged in not charging. I doubt there is something wrong with the battery since its only 1 day used

hi zk4acid,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
If you're running on Windows 8.1, can you try to launch the Lenovo Energy Manager and ensure that the Conservation Mode is turned off ( this mode limits the battery charge level to 55%-60% of its full capacity to reduce the battery degradation and extend the battery lifespan).

Let me know how it goes.

Thinkpad - E430 - Plugged in, Not Charging

Hi I bought my thsi machine in feb,2013; and recently i have started facing this issue of "plugged in, not charging".
I have gone through the other discussions and suggestions in the threads and tried the below:
1. Removed the charing cable - Restarted the machine: This just seems a one time solution, and the other time i face this problem, I have do the same again.
2. I have updated softwares and genuine Win7.
Please provide me the solution and if possible do tell me the cause as well.

Hello again lemming2030!
I've seen this trick from themes.net work before, try this:
First Disconnect your A/C adapter, shut down and remove the battery.
Connect the A/C adapter and turn your E430 back on.
From the Charm Bar search and open the Device Manager.
Expand your battery and right click on Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery
Select Uninstall, Shutdown your computer, Disconnect your A/C adapter.
Insert your Battery and upon reboot Windows should automatically reinstall the Power Manager.
Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,
Catie

Toshiba Qosmio X505 plugged in, not charging message

I have a Toshiba Qosmio X505 that is almost 4 years old and have some power issues. The battery is drained to about 6% and the battery icon in the tool bar has the plug symbol for a second then it goes away then comes back and goes away.... it keeps flashing like this. When I move the mouse over the battery icon it says plugged in, not charging. I have tried every solution I have found on line with no luck. I have removed the battery and ac charger and then held the power button for 30 seconds, I have cleaned the connections, I have re-installed the battery about 10 times, I have rebooted all to no avail.
When I remove the ac adapter the power light is off and the battery light is orange. When I remove the battery and plug in the ac adapter the power light is steady red. As soon as I put the battery in the ac power light begins to blink on and off. The computer does not power on with the battery removed and the ac adapter plugged in (but I'm not sure if it's supposed to). I will also add that in the last week or so when I power on I would get a black screen saying an NTFS file is bad and the machine wants to do a disk check. The disk check never runs, even when I try to do it manually.
I have read this could be a motherboard issue, an ac adapter issue, or a battery issue. I am hopoing a replacement battery fixes the problem. Before buying a battery I was hoping someone had some info to share. Thanks

I bought a battery hoping that takes care of the problem. If that doesn't work I will try a new adapter and if that doesn't work I will probably just remove the hard drive and use it as an external on a new machine. Seems there really isn't a whole lot of info out there about this problem other than the start button solution.

A135-S4527 Battery plugged in, not charging

There are 1000s of posts on the net but no solution is working. I'm summarizing the problem for those who are already frustrated by seeing solutions in the following order and did not work, so please do not provide any solution mentioned below 1. charger/cord/plug/outlet not working 2. battery dated non working 3. battery contacts unclean 4. restart / push power switch for 30 secs etc There are many where any of the above doesn't work as permanent solution. Sometimes it seems as working but it doesnt last for longer. Now stating the problem of mine specifically My battery was gone. I knew that when this started. The issue was, even if the AC Adapter is connected and the battery is ON and detected, it would always say x% remaining (Plugged in, not charging) - where x is < 100% . This message is so frustrating (even now I'm seeing this and I need to post before the battery gets discharged) Why would a AC Adapter not charge when it is connected and battery is charged less than 100%? Even if lets say a battery pack is not holding enough charge, it should attempt to continuously charge if the charge is less than 100% This has started when I upgraded the laptop Toshiba Satellite A135-S4527 to Win 7. I've replaced the battery with a new one and only thing I can charge the battery is shut down and keep the laptop with battery connected with AC Adapter. Since last few days even the red charging LED has stopped showing up. I've found that the problem is related to "Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method battery" Have perfomed all sorts of instructions as given but none works Funniest part is when this message is on and battery is not charging while AC Adapter is connected, it is still drawing power off the battery as the % goes down and it simply knocks off when battery is fully discharged, completely ignoring that the AC Adapter is connected (Yes, it is connected as you can see the icon with the pin) I'd stop here for some advise before this goes off again. Thank you so much for your attention
