Satellite L55-A5226, battery doesn' charge fully.

llo,all. I'm new to this forum (1st post). I have a newerToshiba laptop, Satellite L55A5226, running Windows 8.1. It's running in balanced power mode. The problem is the battery stops charging at 80%.How can I enable the battery to charge the full 100%? I'm pretty sure it fully charged in the past. I may have changed the power setting since, which may explain this.Thanks for your assistance.

There is an eco charge setting that only charges battery to 80% it is suppose to give your battery a longer life span possibly you have that turned on.
Go to control panel, power options, eco utility, select battery life cycle, you will be able to turn on or off.

Satellite L55-A5284 battery not charging

I have had this Toshiba Satellite L55-A5284 for about 11 months now. Everything was going fine and then less than 5 days ago I unplugged the AC adapter and the laptop just went off. Long story short went on Toshiba's troubleshooting section in Support and answered some questions and it told me that I needed a new AC Adapter. Received the adapter today and plugged it in still have the same problem battery not charging. I called Toshibal support and was told that my laptop has a built in battery and in order to change it without a fee being charged to me I would have to send my laptop to Toshiba and wait 7 to 10 days to get my laptop back. I do not like this solution since alot of my personal information is on my laptop and the length of time I will be without my laptop. Does anyone out there have any other suggestions for me to get the battery replaced free of charge?

If the Troubleshooting Assistant finds that you laptop needs a new battery, it can send you a battery as well. It'll work just like the swap with the AC adapter. Unfortunately, you'll have to change the battery yourself (or get someone to do it for you). I don't like commenting on the difficulty because it's so subjective. You'd have to take the bottom case off to reach it. It won't void your warranty, but if you damage anything else while attempting to change it, that could.

Ipod battery not charges fully

Hi friends,
i have ipod bought a month back, last week it's battery charge was totally went down, Now iam charging it for last 2 days continously , but still it's not charged fully. Also the PC is not able to recognise the IPOD , so does the ITUNE also. I hope it's because the IPOD is not fully charged. But why does it take more than 2 days for battery charging? Do i need to approach a servie center for replacing the battery? Please help me.
Note: I can see only blinking orange light whenever i connected it to a PC or through a external electric power supplier.

Battery not charging fully

My 2 week old MacBook is saying that the maximum charge is 97%, yet I have the application iStat, which is telling me that the overall health of my battery is 100%. I'm confused, what is the health of my battery?

Hi justineblaire621: The fact that your battery is charging to 97% is perfectly fine. It is designed that way to prevent overcharging. See this Apple article for more details: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88344
You battery health is an estimate of the remaining life of your battery, it is the remaining full charge capacity divided by the initial capacity, expressed as a percentage. Yours is fine.

Satellite A200-1G2 battery only charges when Windows is shut down?

Hi all,
I have a problem with my battery.
1. Computer is turned off
2. The battery is LOW
3. I plug in the power cable and the LED is Orange and the battery is charging.
I know the battery is charging because when I turn on the computer after a while there is for example 44% charged.
4. When I look now at the battery status there is "44% available, battery plugged in, not charging
5. at this time the battery is not charging anymore and the power goes down 40%.....35%....32%....ex...
6. When I now turn of the computer the LED is back orange and the battery is charging again.
7. one more thing : when the battery is 100% charged with computer off and I then turn the computer on
the battery stays at 100% because the computer is running on power cable.
My conclusion is that the battery only charges when the computer is turned off ?
ones the battery is 100% the computer works on power cable.
if the battery is not charged for 100% and I turn on the computer, the computer is not working on power cable ( the power cable is plugged in ) and the battery power lowers again.
What can I do about that.
HELP

Hi mate,
First of all I must agree you that battery charging should also work if the notebook is turned on. I mean on my notebooks it works always properly and I have only founded this on the Toshiba website: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ35007K001ZR01.htm
But to be honest I think there is a hardware problem with your notebook because there is no software option that must enable/disable to charge battery in Windows.
Another question: If you go into BIOS, will the battery be charged?
If not I would contact the nearest authorized service provider for help. They should check your notebook and maybe its a mainboard problem or something else. On the Toshiba website you can search for nearest ASP:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Find an authorized service provider
If you have more questions, please let us know and give us a feedback if the problem is solved. Its always interesting to read this and I think for other users too. ;)

(ios 7) ipad battery wont charge fully

Satellite A70 new battery wont charge

I finally bought a replacement battery for my very old laptop as the original one that came with it has done its life after 5 yrs of loyal service. Anyway the strange thing is when I first put the new battery in with my laptop turned off the battery indicator on the front turned green in about 2 hours but when I tried to boot my laptop up on the new battery it got a short way past the Toshiba screen and then died.
So with my laptop still turned off I plugged it back in and sure enough the indicator light glowed amber again.
I left it for a good 5 hours to juice up but since nothing changed after this time I turned the laptop back on to see how far I'd gotten.
The Toshiba Power Management Utility told me that the battery was at 98% so I left the laptop on for a while and it eventually went into standby mode. i left it this way for more than 24 hours but after this time I came back and the Toshiba Power Management Utility still indicated 98% charge. So I decided to see if it would work without the AC adaptor as 98% charge is close enough to full but upon removing the AC adaptor my laptop died.
I thought there might be a problem with the AC in port on my laptop as this is a common problem with the A70 and A75 but I ruled that out when I found it still able to charge my old battery. This also rulled out a problem the laptop itself as it still works fine off the old battery, only for 2 hours of word processing though.
Just to be sure I've had the battery in the laptop on charge for days now and no change. It still wont boot up from the new battery and it still says 98% charge. Is it a bad battery, a problem with communications between the microprocessor in the battery and my laptop or is it a problem with Toshiba's power management utility?

I figured as much but was wondering if there was some technical issue with the laptop's software preventing it from using the new battery properly. I was kinda hoping this would be the case. There is a slight difference between the 2 batteries, my original is 6450mAh and the new one is 6600mAh. But everywhere I have looked, the replacement battery for part No. PA3383U-1BAS is 6600mAh instead of 6450mAh so I don't suppose this would pose a problem. I guess I'll have to claim my warrenty for my battery but I still have to fork out P&H costs and I haven't got that kinda money at the moment.
Since it almost booted up when it was first in my laptop I guess the issue lies with the batteries abbility to be recharged or the microprocessor in the battery is so far out of calibration it can't be recharged. Either way it's not something I can fix. Thank goodness for warrenties, all ways get extended warrenties I say, seriously, sometimes I think companies design things to break like clockwork.

Why does my Macbook Pro lasts for only a meagre 1 to 2 hrs on battery when charged fully?

My macbook pro only last for around 1 to 2 hours. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my battery?

Have you been calibrating your battery per your user manual "schedule?"

My phone won't switch on or do anything at all i woke up thismorning and it is broken, the battery was charged fully. how can i get it back on without losing any of my data?

Hi,

Blackberry 9360 battery is charging too quickly

Hello everybody.. My blackberry 9360 has been chanrging way to quickly in the last few days and it drains out just as fast too. Sometimes it will show half battery life still available but it will drain fully in the next instant. I will put it on too charge and a drained battery will charge fully in TEN minutes (o,O).. And so the cycle will continues. What do you think is wrong here? 3month old phone or so..

I would say you likely have a defective battery. I'd get a replacement.

Satellite A300D-13R: battery does not charge 100%

Satellite A300D-13R: The battery doesn't become full. Why?!
Message was edited by: Sy

Did you try to calibrate the battery?
Discharge the battery fully (note: disable standby and hibernation mode in order to prevent the notebook from going into these modes automatically).
Then charge it again reappear this several times in the row
If this does not help, test a new battery

Win 7 (Sony Vaio) Battery Doesn't Charge

I have a Sony Vaio VPCEB11FM notebook with Win 7 64 and suddenly the battery doesn't charge. During shutdown, Win 7 was installing updates and before it was done it went off.
After that Win 7 doesn't recognize the ac adapter plugged in and the battery doesn't charge.
The updates downloaded are not running or installing.
I have tested the ac adapter and battery on a laptop exactly like my one. And it worked just fine.
There are no updates available for battery from manufacturer.
The charging light is off when i plug the ac adapter.
The laptop works without battery, but plugged in ac adapter.
Plz, helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp...

Hi
I've had a number battery problems to do with rapid
discharging and not charging properly - the batery was nearly new and previously had 3 hours life before an update ... Sony Support
have been worse than useless ... In case it helps (given that your problems started after your Windows 7 update) - my
problem was not the physical battery (or BIOS or drivers or a number of other things I checked) but the Sony VAIO battery management software which stopped working after I installed the 64-bit Windows 7 update Service Pack 1 (SP1).
There may be no harm in just trying to re-install the Sony VAIO Battery Checker software - it worked for me ... To do this, run
the VAIO Care Recovery and Restore programme (from the start menu), use the Recovery option  - Reinstall Applications and Drivers – and re-install the Battery Checker
(tick the check box option).
Hope this helps :)
Here's the full detail of what happened to me in case others have similar problems:
Warning to all 64-bit Windows 7 users: Do NOT install Windows 7 SP1 !!!!!   If you do and
the Sony VAIO battery management software ruins your battery, Sony Support won't replace it but blame Microsoft instead.
After I installed the Windows 7 update for SP1 my battery performance died - the battery would
discharge from 100% to zero in only 52 minutes
(it was nearly 3 hours before installing SP1). In a specific timed test for Sony Support the battery took 47 minutes to discharge to 50% and then rapidly discharged from 50% to zero in the following 4 minutes. In
all tests I performed the machine did not ‘turn off’ but crashed as if the battery had been ripped out, prompting a safe-start by windows each time. From zero charge, the battery was re-charging to 100% charge in about 20 minutes.
Sony Support were useless, so I started to read many technical discussion forums online and found that hundreds of Sony users
have the same problem with battery performance with no solution. Many discussions online have led back to a wrong idea: that the Microsoft Windows system drivers –
battc.sys and
compbatt.sys – used for Microsoft Composite Battery management are too old to be 64-bit versions. This idea is because the Microsoft driver information
displayed in the Device Manager window shows a driver date of 21/06/2006, before Windows 7 64-bit was deployed. However the actual hidden driver files in the Windows System folder (version 6.1.7) are dated 14/07/2009 and are indeed 64-bit versions.
I found this after I spent hours looking for new versions of the drivers and when I couldn’t find any mention, let alone new versions, I then checked the actual file properties myself and discovered the Microsoft drivers are fine (even though there is
a Microsoft Windows 7 error displaying the date using Device Manager). Similarly, a number of people have updated their BIOS with no change to the problem (so I'm leaving that alone).
I then investigated other ideas – and eventually checked that the version of VAIO Power Management and Battery Checker
VAIO (part of the Sony Notebook Utilities exe) for my machine (VPCEB3C5E). The latest versions I could see online (Sony sites) all appear to be the same versions as those already installed on my machine.
However, I tried one final, simple action and it fixed my machine:
I used the VAIO Care Recovery and Restore programme
(from the
start menu),
selected the Recovery option – Reinstall Applications
and Drivers – and re-installed the Battery Checker (check box option).
This fixed the problems with the battery management
where the machine suddenly crashes without adequate warning when the battery is discharging. The
battery now shows a steady discharge from 100% down to zero (remember, before it discharged quickly down to 50% and then from 50% to zero in the last 4 minutes). It also charges back up at a steady (safe) rate rather than rapidly.
Unfortunately, my battery is now damaged but Sony Support do not want to know.  In
the several weeks while the Sony software was not working properly the battery had been rapidly re-charged, over-charged and is now damaged.
The previous battery life of over 2.5 hours in normal use (let alone test conditions
doing nothing) has been reduced to less than an hour since the 64-bit Windows 7 SP1 installation.
Things
cannot still be fully correct with the Sony battery management software because the
battery health status in the
VAIO Control Centre is still displaying
GOOD.
So Sony Support will not replace the battery, even though previously they contradicted themselves by saying I had to run industry standard tests - now when the tests show the battery is faulty Sony then go back to relying on
software that was the cause of the problem. Unbelievable !!!
Moreover, the Sony European Support guy escalated my case (5568077) and the response he got was this is a Windows 7 issue and
not a Sony problem ... Therefore, should I ask Microsoft for a new Sony battery even though it was the Sony software at fault? Even more unbelievable by Sony !!!!!!
So, all Sony VAIO Users - don't install Windows 7 SP1 and expect Sony Support to help.
Most of all - when the Sony VAIO battery management software ruins your battery, don't expect Sony to replace
it.
And now for a bit of a rant to make me feel better ... This was the first time I've bought a Sony - I've had dozens
of Dells over the years but thought I'd try a VAIO for a change ... Given my recent experience guess what my next machine will be? Sony may be making a small financial loss since the Tsunami and online PSP gaming / hacker problems, but with service like
this their VAIO losses will also be significant in the future - Sony just don't get that customers pay for and expect service when we buy a machine ... Idiots!

My battery doesn't charge very well anymore, can i get a new one/

my battery doesn't charge very well, can i get and install a new battery?

Your post say "my battery doesn't charge very well",
Does it goes to full charge after 4 hours, or 1 hour, a battery that goes to full charge in 1 hour, is a dying battery, as it be totally flat in 20 mins. So if you can get your battery fully charge then monitor how long it takes to discharge playing music (36 hours) or video (6 hours)
That will be a measure of the health of your battery, compared to iPod tech Spec.
If your battery can't be fully charged
Are you charging it off a wall charger or via a PC?
Can you try charging via a high power USB 2.0 port, on most Computer there are some low power USB port, that don't have enough juice to charge a high drain device like the iPod.
And it is a NoNO to try charging via a USB Hub or the Mac Keyboard USB port, these do not have the power.
Have a nice day!

How many hours does a brand new battery last after fully charged. I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro.

How many hours does a brand new battery last after fully charged. I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro.

clintonfrombirmingham is right, there is no way to exactly tell. But from personal experience, a new battery on a 2008 will last for about 2 1/2 hours with a higher screen brightness and doing something taxing to the battery (like gaming or running lots of 3D programs). But if you're just listening to music with the brightness all the way down, and no programs running, you could get up to 12 hours. So for average use, it should last you a whole business day (assuming you don't use it more than 30% 0f the time). Hope this kind of gives you more of an idea of what to expect:)

My macbook pro doesn't turn on. The battery is charged but the screen stays black when I press the power button. Anybody has a solution for me please?

Try a #1 SMC Reset and see the Apple links, if that doesn't work make a appointment for a evaluation.
