Satellite L755-S5153 How to calibrate bew battery?

No matter how long I charge my new battery, the max charge it will report is 99%.  Will calibrating fix this problem?  And how do I calibrate a new battery?
Thanks for the help!

This is not a calibration problem.
Newer windows versions keep the charging % at 99 for reducing Li battery stress (oh, yes, they do) and give you a longer usefeul life.

  • Satellite T110-10N - How to recalibrate my battery?

    Hi
    I have a Satellite T110-10N. The battery does not load 100% only on 50%. I like to know how recalibrate it.

    Hello
    If you have it only for 4 months, its covered by warranty. Even the battery pack I think
    So please contact ASP in your country and explain your problem. Normally you should get a new battery for free.
    Here is a list where you can search for technicians:

  • Satellite P10-804: How to enable the battery icon visible on the task bar?

    how do I do enable the battery icon visible on the task bar? currently I can only have the type of power save mode e.g. bulb & colour.
    I have tried to activate right clicking taskbar/properties/notification areas, found required icon & instructed to always show, however the batery icon remains hidden.
    Help??

    One question: Did you try to set several settings in the Windows own power options?
    However, I would say some registry keys are corrupt and therefore the battery icon cannot be displayed in the task manager.
    Probably only the new installation can help you displaying the icon in the task bar.

  • How to calibrate iPhone battery?

    My  6 month old iPhone 5 battery registered 67%, then I was recording a video for all of 2 minutes
    when suddenly my iPhone shut down.
    Surely my battery is ok. I think the battery needs re calibrating to give a more accurate representation of battery status.
    How do I do this?
    Thank you.

    ok, here you go

    I'd like to try your method of hard resetting my phone however my sleep/power button doesn't work.
    Do you know if there's a method of hard resetting the phone using assistive touch or if there's any other way of doing it?
    Luke
    Tap the Assistive Touch button, Tap Device, Press and hold the Lock Icon
    The 'Slide To Turn Off' should then appear, use it to turn the phone off, wait for a minute or so then
    plug the phone into your computer or into the power adapter - the phone should then come back on.
    Hope this is of some help.

  • How to calibrate my iPad battery gauge?

    I heard that draining iPad battery to 0% is harmful to battery.So how I calibrate my battery gauge without fully discharging it?
    I hope somebody will give me a clear answer to this.

    When the guage says 0% the battery still holds a safe charge. The guage is only an indication, and the phone (being smart) ensures that the battery charge can get neither damagingly low or overcharged.
    Once a month or so, run the iPad, ignoring battery warnings, until it powers itself down. Then plug it into its charger and charge it up to 100%. That's it.  The battery couldn't care less about this procedure, but it will as you say calibrate the gauge.

  • Using MB mostly w/ power adapter, how do I maintain battery?

    I use my MB at work plugged in with battery,and of course, once in a while take my MB for a trot, and like to make sure it is ready for normal use with a charged battery, however , I am concerned that running my MB w/battery with power adapter plugged in will lessen the charge and effectiveness of the battery when I decide to use it away from the office. I don't really want to have to take the
    battery out and then put it back in when I decide to go somewhere with it. Is there a setting where I can switch just to use my MB with power from adapter, without having an influence on my battery,, or will it be ok to keep my MB plugged in w/battery,, and not have any detrimental effect on battery?

    You should always leave the battery in. When it's plugged in and fully charged, your MacBook will not put any strain on the battery. Follow the links below for more information about your battery.

  • How do I calibrate a battery backup using OS X 10.8?

    If I connect a APC Power-Saving Back-UPS Pro 1000, Part Number: BR1000G to my Mac computer using a USB cable, running Mac OS X 10.8, how do I calibrate the battery backup using the UPS service that is built into the operating system?

    I contacted APC Technical Support at 800-555-2725 and they told me that they have discontinued making the PowerChute Personal Edition software for the Mac and the OS X UPS feature also doesn’t do calibration. They said if I wanted to get the most accurate reading on how much runtime my APC battery backup would provide they recommended that I do a manual calibration. They also recommended that I do a manual calibration once a month or so to help improve battery life.

  • How to calibrate 3000 n100 battery?

    Does anyone know the process to calibrate the battery on a 3000 n100? My battery jumps to 0% and beeps but i am still able to run the computer for a while. Those beeps drive me crazy.

    Hi there...
    I am a retired IBM/Lenovo engineer specialising in the C-series and dead batteries are not unusual! Let's get some things straight first?
    1) We built most of the Lenovo/ThinkPad series to take specific batteries designed and built for our systems. They have special added function that handshakes with the microcode, BIOS and software to give a wide range of battery information and control.
    2) They used to be very expensive (>£60) but lately there are a lot of genuine ones at much lower prices. I bought two on eBay for just £20 only 6 weeks ago?
    3) You have every right to use a competitive/alternate battery but no-one in IBM or Lenovo can or will comment on whether they are suitable, will work correctly or will last very long.
    4) I CAN say that I have 'tested' several 'alternative' batteries and not a single one worked as I would have hoped! I will say no more since there are many I did not test?
    5) I am not sure what the concept of 'conditioning a battery is'? A battery is an object that holds a charge. Over time its ability to hold a charge reduces to some minimum close to zero? Some batteries 'die' much more quickly than others. Other last much longer of course.
    6) Many die because they have been discharged for a considerable time or they have been shorted out in some way and done an irreparable damage?
    7) If you have one that ONLY displays 'zero' this is can be because a) It is as dead as the John Cleese and Michael Palin parrot!! b) It has no function that the PC microcode/BIOS can measure c) There is a fault in the PC base code and it can no longer measure the battery.
    8) Let us be 'Nerd Sherlock' for a while? My suggestions are a) Try the battery in another C100 that you KNOW shows good charge? b) Borrow a battery from another C100? c) Buy a new battery and know that this is good! (Make sure it IS NEW! I reported a seller to eBay that sold C100 batteries as 'new' and were clearly 'used'. You can usually tell an old one because it does not come in the original box and the gold contacts show signs of wear. Even installing the battery a single time causes marks on the contacts?)
    9) Finally.... Ensure the battery is genuine! On the rear it will have the Lenovo logo top-left, the turquoise Li-ion label bottom-right and a 22-digit barcode? The ASM should be 92P1179 with a FRU of 92P1180. I have never found a non-Lenovo battery with the turquoise label?
    10) Best suggestion? Dump your current one and buy a new Lenovo one? You will be surprised at how much additional info you get once you install the Lenovo Power Management Driver from http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mob​iles/60pm07ww.exe
    Good luck?

  • How to calibrate an iPhone battery?

    Hi, I took my iphone 4s to the genius bar at apple store today. Despite having terrible battery problems they told me to wait for ios 5.1 and to calibrate my iphone battery, I was also told that replacing the phone would not be a solution as it is a software based issue.
    So I have been browsing the web on how to calibrate an iphone 4s battery and have found answers but they all seem different. Answers I discovered were:
    1. 
    We must let the iPhone runs the entire burden of the battery, i.e. use it until it shuts down for lack of battery.
    After the iPhone battery has run out, we let it sit for about 6 to 8 hours.
    After this time because we can connect it to boot to load, this process should be left between 6 to 8 hours. (While it may use its load without disconnecting from the mains.)
    Once the load, you can enjoy your iPhone newly calibrated.
    2.
    "First, plug your device into a charger and let it charge fully – leave it charging for another hour or two after its fully charged. Then, remove from the charging source and use your device like normal. Do not plug it into a charging source, but use it until the device decides to power itself off due to low battery. When that happens, plug in your device into a charging source and let it charge fully. During this time, it is completely safe to use your device."
    Im still not sure how to calibrate an iphone battery.
    Can anyone please tell me the correct method?

    Calibrate iPhone Battery:
    Use the iPhone until it it shuts OFF itself, due to Low Battery. Then Charge it back up without interruption, like unplugging it, to full charge 100%. Then before or after you do this, Reset iPhone, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off slider", let the iPhone restart itself.

  • How to find drivers for Satellite L755

    I made full format for my laptop Satellite L755-169.
    Now I can't find the valid drivers, like display for example
    What shall I do?

    Well, if you have some unknown devices in the device manager, I would recommend searching for device id and vendor id to get more details about the device.
    Then you could search in google for the driver.
    Here is a nice HowTO:
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=78
    But generally speaking all Win 7 drivers for your model are placed on the Toshiba European driver page. So if you know the unknown device, it should not be a problem to get the driver.

  • IPhone 4S (How I fixed my battery issues)

    Ok, so like many of you , I have been facing some issues with my battery.  I am going to outline some things that I did:
    Calibrate your battery!!!  This is the most important thing.  Let your iPhone COMPLETELY die to the point where it shuts off on you.  Not 20% not 10%....just let it die.  From there, wait 2 hours before plugging it in (yes this *****, but its necessary).  Plug it in and let it FULLY charge.  If after 8 or so hours you see it stuck on say 91% like mine was quickly unplug it and then plug it back in.  It will quickly go to 100%
    Go into your iCloud settings/Documents&Data and disable use cellular.  Not only will this save you data, it will save your phone from pushing things to the cloud while not connected to wifi.  Also, for the time being I have iCloud disabled completely.
    Turn off location services for anything you really don't need it for.......do you really need to know exactly where you were when you Shazamed that song?  Didn't think so.
    I did all of this last night, and as of this morning, I have been listening to music for an hour, done some browsing, send texts, imessages and e-mails and I am sitting at 96%.
    Hope this helps you all.
    Cheers

    My iPhone 4S did once again did  lose it's wifi connection after running perfectly for about 8 weeks.
    I was streaming Pandora Radio via bluetooth connection at the time, ( not sure if that has anything to do with why the wifi dropped out again, but I thought I'd mention it anyway)
    But!.... I was able to get everything up and running perfectly again by simply grabing my girlfriend's hair dyer heated it up again for about 5 - 7 minutes ( the over heated message even appeared this time) then powered it off, warped it in a plastic bag, stuck it back in the freezer for 15 minutes, took it out of the freezer, powered it back on, and Abracadabra it works perfectly again!!!
    Phone has been running perfectly AGAIN for about a week now.
    One strange thing this time after fixing it for a second time is that the the little WiFi symbol no longer shows at the top of the screen, but the wifi connection and everything IS RUNNING PERFECTLY!
    If all I've got to do once in a while, is spend about 20 minutes with a hairdryer and a freezer to keep my iPhone 4S running perfectly.....well I'm as happy as a pig in s*** :-)
    And please no comments about how I have now voided my apple support etc. I never had any to begin with  (it's a 2nd hand phone and  I really  couldn't care less about warranty issues etc etc etc..... The phone works, and that's all that matters to me!

  • Satellite L850 - after 1 year of usage battery runs out quickly

    Hi, through programs such as care or BatteryBar battery battery I see a Toshiba Satellite L850 *battery wear from 48%* currently. I notice that playing a game the battery runs out quickly, as the warm up by a lot, and often descalibra and behaves erratically.
    The laptop is a year old. Is it normal for the battery to wear so much in so little time?
    Would you accept a guarantee or battery replacement can claim wear caused by misuse?
    http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/6976/4f7k.jpg

    First of all you have to know that battery working time depends on the notebook usage.
    Running heavy performance applications like a game would discharge the battery much quickly. Why? Because parts like GPU and CPU and cooling modules run at highest performance and this needs power.
    Also using the notebook with highest display brightness would discharge the battery faster.
    You should also know that every battery would start to loose own performance after about 500 charging cycles. This is nothing unusual and will happen to all batteries.
    To avoid or to slow down this process, its recommended to calibrate the battery from time to time.
    Calibrating means charging and discharging the battery fully.
    Charge the battery until it would be fully charged, then disconnect the AC adaptor and keep the battery discharging until its fully empty. Repeat this procedure 2-3 times in the row.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Is 26 minutes of battery life normal?

    Hi All,
    My Satellite Pro A200 laptop is just over 1.5 years old (or young :P) and I have a huge problem with the battery - it only lasts for a total of _26 minutes_ under "high performace" mode in Vista - other power modes increase the time by only 5-7 minutes.
    I have tweated the system setup to:
    - run as few programs at startup;
    - to use as little memory in relation to graphics (as in diabled vista themes, and "fancy" operations such as show contents of window whilst dragging).
    - remain on the lowest brightness level.
    The programs that do run on startup are my anti virus (F-Secure), and ATI catalyst control.
    I have also cleaned the registry of any conflicts and regularly virus scan.
    I have used Ubuntu on this laptop as well and the battery life is not that much better, which brings me to the conclusion that the battery is nearing its end.
    I was wondering if this battery life time (26 minutes max on high performace) is normal for a laptop after only 1.5 years?* (I don't remember how long it lasted when I first bought it).
    Also, I have a laptop from other manufacturer of 2 years and the charge of its battery lasts a minimum of 4 hours (on Windows XP).
    Both notebooks batteries are 6 cell.
    Any suggestions of how to improve my battery life?
    Thanks in advance.

    >Satellite Pro A200 laptop is just over 1.5 years old and I have a huge problem with the battery - it only lasts for a total of 26 minutes under "high performace" mode in Vista
    The battery working time depends on different factors:
    If different hardware parts like CPU, GPU, HDD, ODD, display are running with highest performance then your battery working time will decrease dramatically
    Additionally if you would lose an stronger battery (9 cell or 12 cell) then you should be abele run the notebook much longer using battery power.
    Furthermore the battery loses the own performance systematically and after a long time of usage you will have to replace the battery.
    However, if you want you could check the Vista Power Options in order to increase the battery working time:
    Here is a nice article:
    How to handle the power management features of Windows Vista

    But in worst case you will need a new, stronger battery
