Lenovo twist battery Wear

Hello,
Just wanting to get a view on what everyones battery wear is like on there lenovo Twists. I have had mine for 10 months, and it has already depleted by 26% (According to batterybar). My full charge is now limited to 32,310 mWh. Is this normal for this type of laptop?
Note, I have lately been using the lenovo battery stretch functionality (the one where it limits the battery to 50%). Although I do use the laptop as a laptop mostly so the rest of the time I fully charge.
Seems like another 10 months and the battery will be useless, and since it has a nice small form factor, changing the battery isn't easy.
Cheers

Hello again,
@lead_org Sadly when going through cmd's powercfg/batteryreport it doesn't show the cycle count, as seen below (unless there is another way to access this information, if so please tell). Also thanks for the quick reply.
@nicknick70 yeah, I was very dissapointed when I first got the device and saw how pathetic the battery was (7 hours is laughable). Now battery quality....... I am in the market for a new tablet, probably wont be Lenovo based on this.

  • Battery Wear-Level overnight feels too High!

    Hi,
    Usually i rarely use battery (always put the battery out after charging it) except when i need to take my 4-months-old B480 laptop outside (which is rarely happened)
    Yesterday i leave my battery with ac adapter plugged-in while downloading a large file from internet, i set start charging threshold at 75% and stop at 95% (as many people said it's better not to fully charge the battery), and on the next day i see my battery wear-level became 13% O.o while cycle count is only 5
    I think it's too high for a one-night charging, my old laptop (non-Lenovo) didn't gets this high even when i leave it with ac adapter for days.
    Is this wear-level normal for a one-night charging? (at-least for lenovo laptop that is)
    Does warranty covers an abnormal battery wear-level?
    PS: one of the reason i choose lenovo laptop is because it has customizable-battery charging threshold feature which many people said can be used to prolonged battery lifespan(minimizing wear-level by not fully-charging it and not discharging it too low) even when used with ac adapter, while not many other brands have this kind of feature.

    hi AdamN,
    A usual sign of an imminent battery failure is when it wears out the charge in an abnormal rate (battery goes down to less than 20% overnight after a full charge when unit is off or in sleep state). Sometimes heat can also be a factor to shorten the battery life as discussed in this article.
    To further test the health of the battery, You can try Passmark's BatteryMon. If the battery is failing, you may contact Lenovo for a battery replacement. Support phone list here.
    Hope this helps.

  • Lenovo Twist - How do you copy Win 8 Pro onto recovery partition?

    I upgraded my Lenovo Twist (3347-4HU) from Win 8 to Win 8 Pro with Windows Media Center (WMC).  How do I copy the newly purchased operating system and WMC to my HDD recovery partition so that if I ever have to do a restore, it will restore Win 8 Pro with WMC and not the original copy of Win 8 that came on the computer?  My concern is if a recovery is done from the factory recovery partition, I will lose my upgrade that I purchased.

    Another option would be to make a full-drive backup to an external HDD.  You can use the oddly named "Windows 7 File Recovery" feature to make the backup.
    It's probably a good idea to do that on a regular basis.

  • My sons touch has gone very light , almost White. It gets worse as the battery wears down. He swears he hasent got water near it. What could this be do you think?

    My sons I touch has gone very light in colour almost white . It gets worse as the battery wears down . He swears that it hasent been near water so would Anyone know what this is . Should I take it in to fix ?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Genuine Lenovo Replacement Battery Does Not Charge

    After reading the number of people on this forum who experienced the same problem I faced (my T61p 9 cell battery went from fine to dead overnight), I took the advice of the contributors and purchased a new, genuine Lenovo replacement battery from a seller on e-bay.  I compared the new battery to my original battery and here's the test results for each of the 2 batteries;

    After charging the replacement battery overnight, the battery gauge never went above showing 24% charged.  I unplugged the AC adapter and it went from 24% to its current level of 5% in about 15 minutes.  After plugging the AC adapter back into the computer, the battery will not charge.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    It is hard to be sure without seeing it, but best guess is that the battery charging circuitry on the motherboard has died. If you still have remaing warranty, now is the time to use it.

  • Lenovo Twist - keyboard

    Hi everyone,
    I bought a Lenovo twist in EEUU and it has the keyboard from there. I am from Argentina, so, I decided to change the keyboard configuration to the latin version ( this is caused because in Argentina we use the "ñ"). But there is a little problem, when i changed the configuration, the simbols "<" and  ">" were gone. Therefore i thought to use the key combination ALT + some number, but it doesn't work correctly in my Twist. I also tried to user Fn + Alt + some number, but it does't work either.
    Does anyone know how to access to the special characters without use the Character map?
    Thanks in advance!
    regards.

    Hi,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    It seems you've turned on the number pad on your keyboard. Press Fn+NmLk keys to toggle it off. And if that doesn't work, try Shift+ScrLk.
    Hope this helps!
    Best regards,
    Mithun.

  • Battery Wear Level 7% just from the first week use.

    I just bought a Toshiba NB250 a week ago
    I was checking my hardware around and Installed Notebook Hardware Control and it showed me a Battery Wear Level of 7% just in the first week.
    Why is that ? Is that normal ? I have my Qosmio X300 for a year now and its battery wear level is 0%
    What is the minimum acceptable wear level to be liable for battery change under warranty ?
    Thank you !

    > What is the minimum acceptable wear level to be liable for battery change under warranty?
    It is very complicated question and I don't think someone here will give you exact answer to this question.
    Notebook hardware control is good tool but if this tool is really relevant is other question.
    What is maximum notebook running time on battery power supply?

  • Lenovo Twist recovery problem

    Hi everybody.
    I've just got my new Lenovo Twist s230u with Win 8 installed. First thing I wanted to do was to install linux on it. Everything seemed working fine, I knew 'bout recovery partition, so I hoped to re-install Windows, if smth. bad occurs.
    I formatted two partitions (unfortunately I don't remember neither their labels nor sizes). Linux worked properly and everything was fine. But soon I understood that my windows is still unregistered, so my warranty can be spoiled. I entered the recovery menu and pressed reset button. But the recovery tool said, that some useful partition is missing.
    On linux I can see several partitions:
    LENOVO_RECOVERY
    WINRE_DRV
    SSD partitions and my linux partitions.
    So I'm sure I didn't format the recovery partition. 
    Please help me to recover my pc. Please say if there is a way to recover it from usb stick or smth. like that. And say a few words 'bout partitioning on Lenovo twist.
    Thanks a lot!

    it could be because of you re-partitioned the volume. warranty may cover the issue if you have valid one ( international warranty - iws - )
    try to burn default backup before ordering dvd sets.
    you can order recovery discs. call lenovo support line.
    check your warranty from the link below:

    if it doesn't work, you can use this software to find your serial.

  • Default Partitions for lenovo Twist s230u

    Hello,
     I have a Lenovo Twist (s230u) and need to do a system recovery. Unfortunately, neither the F11 option is working nor recovering from win 8 itself. I do not have a win8 disk (wasn't supply with the computer) ! 
    The only option I guess is to get a win8 drive and do a clean install. Before I do this and reformat the drive, can someone tell me what to do with the different partition on the HDD and the SDD ? I see the disk is divided into multiple partitions... Even if I do a clean win 8 installation, what should I do about the 260 Mb, 1000Mb and 7 Gb partitions (EFI, recovery and recovery respectively) Are they necessary ?
    What about the SSD ? Technically I guess since it is separated, it shouldn't affected.
    Thank you
    Cyril

    Hello and welcome,
    Easiest - if your drive stays alive long enough - is to make a recovery flash drive and use that to restore to a new drive.
    Methodology to create Recovery Media and reload a Lenovo system with Microsoft Windows 8 preload
    If you have a MS Win 8 install DVD of the matching version you can just copy the contents to a FAT32-formatted flash drive and use that for a clean install.  The license is in BIOS and shoud be picked up.  (CAVEAT: I've done installs from flash, but not verified that the license is picked up.)
    Note that the copy-to-flash install works for MS media but not for Lenovo recovery DVDs.
    Worst case: use a USB DVD drive.  Worst, worst case: purchase recovery DVDs from Lenovo support _and_ use an external drive.

  • My Lenovo S890 battery suddenly drains in minutes

    Just last night I realized that my Lenovo s890 has been shut off due to battery drain from full charge to 0 in minutes...So what I did is to recharge it again and to my amazement, in under 30 minutes it has fully recharged, but when I unplugged it from the charger there's the battery notification display rapidly counting down...I have checked online for general topics on this matter and tried all the suggested tips and solutions but to no avail...My unit is still under 1 year from date of purchase...please help...

    I'm surprised and at the same time disappointed that nobody had offered any input to sorts of troubleshooting to somehow give a semblance of solution to my unit"s problem, or perhaps this is a first type of a problem of its kind thus, no one could come up with any clear solution...Anyway, I have done some tinkering while waiting for replies, and I believe I have solved my own problem, and decided to share with you guys for reference if ever you encounter this same problem:
       I consulted years-old forums about android phones quick-battery loss problem and picked out potential solutions there such as:
    1. Not using the Facebook app since its using lots of battery juice by posting notifications which come minute after minute; and instead just use the FB in the built-in browsers which consume very little battery juice...
    2. Tried the full battery drain then recharge 10 times, and after 4th recharging, there already is a significant normalization of my battery life, On this 4th recharge, I got full battery by 7am. After 16 hours, its only down to 66%, and that's with a considerable amount of Wi-Fi connectivity.
    3. I also suspected a particular screenshot app as a culprit for the sudden rapid battery drain, as if this app has caused my Lenovo's battery draining behavior to go haywire. Upon uninstalling the app, the draining behavior of my battery gradully returns to normal...
    4. When this rapid battery draining happened, I had the combinations of Lenovo Battery Saver, NQ Power Booster, and Green Power Free apps which I all used to monitor and keep my battery life at check...then after the "incident" I  stopped using the said apps and replaced them eith Super Battery Saver and Juice Defender which were effective when I still have my Lenovo A90, at first there was a semblance of normalization in my battery life but with this screenshot app[which I also uninstalled with the 3 powersaving apps, then re-installed with this 2 replacement battery saving apps] the battery draining was still fast, which continued even after the second uninstalling of the screenshot app. What I did is to uninstall Juice Defender and Super Battery Saver and replace it with Lenovo Battery Saver and Green Power Free but to no avail...Next move: replaced the Lenovo Battery Saver and Green Power Free with Juice Defender  and NQ Power Booster, and upon the said 4th recharging the return to normal battery draining behavior...
    The full-drain then recharge 10 times is still on and I'm still monitoring my unit's battery draining behavior...I will be posting updates...

  • Lenovo Twist - Can't get WWAN Driver to Install

    Hey,
    So, got my Lenovo Twist last weekend - absolutely love it, but **bleep**.. I'd love to be able to slap a SIM in here an go.
    Problem is, the WWAN driver appears to be missing - Device Manager shows the WAN Miniport, but the driver doesn't work.
    Here is what I've tried so far:
    - Allowing Windows to try to find an updated driver (nothing)
    - Downloaded and attempted to install this from the Lenovo Twist Support Drivers Page: Ericsson H5321gw/C5621gw Mobile Broadband Firmware for Windows 8 (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad (this results in an error: Initialization error) - This seems to only be a firmware anyway
    - Tried this one.. which appears to be the driver for Ericsson H5321gw: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS029034 (Installs, but doesn't solve the driver issue.. even after reboot)
    - Tried a few other various drivers that people have suggested, but none seem to work.
    Any suggestions?
    Marc

    Following up on an earlier post I opened up my Twist to see what is inside with respect to WWAN.  Easy to do; just two screws and slide out the keyboard.  I had not seen any WWAN references in the Device Manager.  Sure enough, the PCI Express slot the User Guide shows to be the location of the WWAN card has the 24GB SSD. Even though the SIM slot and socket is there and the red/blue antenna leads are there it does not appear both the WWAN and 24GB SSD can be installed at the same time.  The other PCI Express slot has the WIFI card.
    I don't know enough about SSDs but maybe a SATA type SSD could take the place of the 500GB hard drive which could free the PCI Express slot for a WWAN?
    My Twist is model S230u and the Lenovo System Update application says the "Machine type and model" is 33474HU.

  • Lenovo T500 battery stays on %100 for awhile then drops down to %99 for no reason

    Hi,
    The Lenovo T500 battery stays on %100 for awhile then drops down to %99 for no reason. What's up with this and how do I fix this issue? My laptop is really confusing me. The green battery says it's totally charged %100 and the little AC adapter icon in the system tray says "%99 available (plugged in, not charging.")
    Thanks,
    Liz 

    Hello Liz,
    that is considered to be normal.
    It´s bettter for a Li-ion battery not to be charged fully, so the powermanager don´t load the whole time.
    That´s why the percentage could drop. But thats not a problem thats a feature.
    if your battery handling is set to automatic in powermanager then, eveythings is ok.
    Do you use your machine with AC plugged in the whole time?

  • HDD for lenovo Twist

    Could you please recommand me some compatible HDD for Lenovo Twist? The hdd went dead. looking to 7200 RPM with 500 - 1000 GB capacity.
    Thank you very much.

    Hello,
    Any 2.5" 7mm high HDD should work, which are a little less common than the 9.5mm high drives normally used in notebook computers, but becoming more common.  The S230u's FRU List gives the following part numbers and models:
    04W0570 - B500 Toshiba
    04W0576 - C320AF Seagate
    04W0582 - 7200RPM SATA 320GB 7.0mm AF 6Gb/s Toshiba AQUARIUS-C SLIM-320
    04W0583 - 7200RPM SATA 500GB 7.0mm AF 6Gb/s Toshiba AQUARIUS-C SLIM-500
    04W0592 - 5400RPM 500GB 7.0mm 6Gb/s WD MN500S-500
    04W3923 - 5400 JAGUAR-B7 500
    04W3926 - 5400 MN500S 500GB
    04W3927 - 7200 JAGUAR-C7 320
    04W3929 - 7200 JAGUAR-C7 500
    You could also use a 2.5" 7mm high SSD as well, although if you do, you should not enable the iRST or ExpressCache caching with the mSATA SSD as it will actually slow things down.  You could still use the mSATA SSD as a small secondary drive for backups, etc.

  • Ipad battery wears down quickly.  how do I fix this?

    the battery wears down very quickly.  how do I fix this?

    There isnt really a way of "fixing" it, everybody has it. There are things you could do to make the battery last a bit longer.
    1. Turn of bleutooth, this needs ALOT of battery and is on all the time if you have turned it on
    2. Lower the brightness
    3. Close Applications properly, if you double click the home button (the only button on the ipad) and get the multitasking tab, hold your finger on one of the apps and press the red button with a white -, this will close COMPLETELY the App, and stops running it on the background. (doesnt delet any saved things etc.... )
    4. When you charge your battery, charge it from under the 10% to 100% not half-way etc..., there is a way you could "train" your battery's and by charging it from 0 to 100 you could say your battery gets better.
    if this has been helpfull please like
