My first laptop battery.

I just got my new HP laptop, also my first laptop. I'm wondering how many hours i need to charge for the first time, to keep the battery backing up for 3 hours or more.
My laptop is: HP 15 r078TU

Hi @sreedHarP
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are some questions regarding your battery. There is no exact time on how long you should charge your notebook for the first time. As long as the battery is at 100% you are fine.

KDE battery monitor not detecting laptop battery

I am using KDE on my Dell XPS laptop. The default battery monitor that comes with KDE installation is not detecting the laptop battery. It is showing "Battery: Not Present". Because of this I am unaware about the time remaining on my battery. Any solutions please?

Have you tried rebooting *twice*? I've seen this issue but I've always resolved it by rebooting and then rebooting again. (The system goes rather insane on the first reboot and I always think either my hardware is completely screwed or my install of Arch is twisted far beyond the point of insanity. But then on the second boot, it calms down, finds the hardware and carries on quite happily. I've no idea why.)

Laptop battery odd behavior

I recently purchased the HP PROBOOK 430 G1 13.3 128GB i3-4010u. I'm using it primarily for college for light workloads since I have a custom built PC I used for extensive tasks. However, even with the light workloads, I'm experiencing this odd behavior from my laptops battery. The laptop battery meter goes to 8 percent randomly. I have to put my laptop to sleep then wake it up or reset it then it returns to the normal battery levels. Again there's no pattern to it, it's completely random. I have obversed it since July 22nd when I first got it and got nothing. It probably happened 10-15 times. I don't want to send it in yet for a repair since I can't replicate the problem.
I'm using HPFanControl by troubadix at constant medium fan level so I know it's not heating issues. I also never go above 50c
I also ran the battery diagnostic in BIOS and it gave me no errors.
I also tried to discharged my laptop and it still happened.
Help?

Is it harmful for the laptop battery to turn it ON on the AC power for long time?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
Is it harmful for the laptop battery if I put laptop on for a long time on AC power?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
the simple answer is no.
The Lenovo powermanager should do the work for you.
May be you are able to switch charging to automatic charging in powermanager settings.
I don´t know if the option, in the newest versions of powermanager, is choosen as standard.
May be there isn´t a switch or checkbox, cause the manager is doing it already.
But it won´t harm your battery, when you let it plugged in AC.

G580 Laptop battery charging slow

Hi I was wondering if anyone had any ideas, My laptop battery seemed to be going downhill as it only lasts 30 minutes fully charged and took a long time to recharge so I replaced it with a new one which was a longer lasting 8800mAh. I also replaced the charger with a new genuine lenovo charger. But the new battery still seems to take a long time to recharge so I'm not sure what it could be. Could it be any of these:I recently upgraded my CPU and RAM to make it faster, could it be draining the battery too much? even though it seemed fine the first few weeks after upgrading.Could the new battery take longer to recharge anyway?I also noticed it after cleaning the fan out. have I not put something back together properly? Any ideas would be grateful Many thanksDale

Hi Daleg,
Welcome to the Forums
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with not powering on in your Lenovo G580 laptop.
Try to perform the battery gauge and check for the issue, to perform the gauge reset go to energy manager and select maintenance and guide option under this tab select gauge reset under battery gauge reset option and check for the issue.
Hope this helps. Do post back if the issue persists.
Best regards,

Laptop Battery Recall

We will soon get details about a laptop battery recall due to FIRE. I already had to send mine back due to failure, but that is better than FIRE.
Stay tuned!
Mark

For what it's worth...
Here is an Apple bulletin regarding defective batteries so check it out to see if your battery(s) are affected. When I first reviewed this article, I removed and inspected my battery for the first time after more than 4-months of ownership and sure enough, mine was in the list.
Excerpt:
"The affected batteries have model number A1175 and a 12-digit serial number that ends with U7SA, U7SB or U7SC. To view the model and serial numbers located on the bottom of the battery, you must remove the battery from the computer. The battery serial number is located above the barcode. See photos below. Only batteries within the noted serial number ranges need to be exchanged."

[SOLVED] Brand new laptop, battery charges to 95% max (?)

I've seen this widely on a simple google search for "last full capacity",
the laptop has been used for just two days, but acpi reports:
koko@TravelMate ~ $ acpi -biatc
Battery 0: Charging, 100%, until charged
Battery 0: design capacity 4400 mAh, last full capacity 4182 mAh = 95%
Adapter 0: on-line
Cooling 0: x86_pkg_temp no state information available
Cooling 1: intel_powerclamp no state information available
Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10
Cooling 3: Processor 0 of 10
Cooling 4: Processor 0 of 10
Cooling 5: Processor 0 of 10
it won't go higher than that.
Is that normal? maybe some sort of overcharge protection?
my previous netbook always charged to 100% or even a bit more than the design capacity...

emeres wrote:Depending on the technology used, one (or several) of the cells might be shorted or almost shorted. Another reason might be wrong measurement [circuit] from either battery or laptop side. And the simplest reason would be that the laptop/battery was produced some time ago, depending on type of technology used, certain batteries lose significant amount of capacity over time (even if unused). Since it is brand new, get in touch with your supplier and get at least the battery exchanged.
If you try to discharge it first, do fully discharge it using LEDs or some other low current load until voltage drops to approximately 10% of nominal voltage, and then recharge it not extending 110% of time it needed to be fully charged Repeating this cycle might and does help with certain types of batteries. If I were you, I would not bother however and go get a replacement from the shop, unless it is really troublesome.
As for overcharge protection, there are usually thermal (usually the most important one), shortcircuit and overcharge (meaning overvoltage protection) protections built into the battery (usually one ic) and/or laptop.
None of that is applicable for Lithium Polymer or Lithium Ion batteries. They should never drop below 3 volts. Discharging them below that point will destroy them and risk a fire. Charging Lithium based batteries is also non trivial and requires tight monitoring of voltage and controls on current and time. Do not mess with LiPoly or LiIon, they truly represent a serious safety hazard if they are mistreated. I note that your suggestions and descriptions of shorted cells are applicable to some non Li technologies; notably Nickle based batteries (Nickle Cadmium, Nickle Metal Hydride, etc...) In general, those are not found in modern laptops because of their toxicity and relatively low energy density as compared to LiPoly.

SCCM Report for Laptop Battery Condition

Good morning,
We are in a situation where we're needing to monitor conditions of laptop batteries in the school district I manage. I have added the laptop batteries class(Win32_Battery) and have all required/requested information checked under this class. This
has been set for a week, so all devices should be inventoried by now.
How do you recommend my getting a report together that shows battery condition/etc? The fields I would like to see are ones such as:
Win32_Battery
battery status
design capacity
design voltage
Expected Life
Error Description
Full Charge Capacity
Really anything that will help us in knowing which laptops batteries need replacing.
I am not that knowledgeable about SQL reporting/SCCM reporting, so any help in getting this is greatly appreciated. Any resources that you can point me in for getting more familiar with creating my own reports would be greatly appreciated. I
don't even know where to begin.
Thank you!

Good you have added the class. Please use the following link for the detailed information about Win32_Battery:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394074(v=vs.85).aspx
Last Full Charge should guide your decision on replacement.

ATI driver free vs laptop battery

With the driver xf86-video-ati laptop battery lasts me half that with catalyst. Any ideas to save energy.

Try (as root)
echo profile > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method
echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile
If that causes problems, replace low with medium.

How to install new laptop battery.

Using HP Support Assistant, my HP G61 110SA laptop battery wouldn't recalibrate so it told me to replace it. I have now bought a new one but can't find any instructions anywhere on HOW to install it! Plus, should I fully charge before installation etc.. Any help, advice, info and especially links to instructions would really be appreciated. I'm using Windows7 64 bit.
thanks.

Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01740724/c01740724.pdf
The procedure to remove and replace the battery can be found in chapter 4, page 4-7.
Once you install your new battery, I recommend you fully charge it.
If you need to use your notebook, use it with the A/C power connected until the battery is charged, if possible.
Paul
