Thinkpad T540p Battery Manager for Windows 8.1

Hi, I recently bought a Thinkpad 540p and wanted to know a way for stopping the battery from getting charged after a certain level. Its a very common feature to stop a battery from charging say after 80% and run on AC power supply direclty.
Other lenovo laptops do support it, under various apps like Energy Manager, or Power Manager but I am not able to find any such options/app on my laptop?
Thanks,
Shashank

This is almost the correct solution but there are minor things that should be done before fully using Lenovo Power Manager.
As you said, begin by installing power manager in Windows 7 compatibility mode. But then make sure that the following executable
C:\Program Files (x86)\ThinkPad\Utilities\PWMOSDV.exe
is added to the startup, so that its automatically started when system reboots.
Also open services.msc and change the setting of Lenovo Power Service to automatic.

    Why is there a power manager program for Thinkpad x240 for Windows 8?

  • Battery gauge error running Power Manager for Windows XP version 5.20

    Last week on my R61 (8932-CTO),  Update Retriever and System Update requested that I download and install ThinkPad Power Manager for Windows XP version 5.20. After rebooting, I immediately received an error box with the following message: 
    An exception occurred while trying to run"C:\Progra~1\ThinkPad\UTILIT~1\PWRMGRTR.DLL,PwrMgrBkGndMonitor"
    As a result of this error, the battery gauge no longer displays correctly. The space where it used to be is blank, but clicking the empty space still gives you the option of starting Power Manager.
    What is puzzling about this is that version 5.20 is not available in either in the Driver Matrix, nor on the Downloads and Drivers web page. The version of the software that is presented there is version 5.13.
    The driver for ThinkPad Power Manager for Windows XP - version 5.20 can be downloaded from:
    http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/ghu704ww.exe
    http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/ghu704ww.txt
    Another interesting point, is that this version of the driver has, as yet, not been presented to me on my R500 (2714CTO), although both machine types are listed as supported models.
    Why are Update Retriever and System Update downloading software that apparently has not been officially released yet?  Why is this only happening on my R61 and not on my R500?
    And last of all, why has his software been released when it seems to have an obvious problem? 
    Any explanations would be appreciated.

    I haven't tried it yet.
    In the meantime i did more testing and found out that even with only Power Manager version 2.41a installed the latest Intel Pro wireless driver also supported by lenovo is not stabel and FN-F5 or windows network connection also fails to switch the radio back on after a reboot when the radio has been turned off first ;-(
    Reading http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67283

  • Power Manager for Windows 8.1

    Where is Power Manager for Windows 8.1?  (For ThinkPad Edge series laptops)
    There is a "Lenovo Power Management Driver", but no application/software to go along with it.
    Does anyone know?

    Good day and welcome to the community.
    Please see: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-8-and-8-1/ThinkPad-software-for-Windows-8/td-p/899865
    There is no official support for ThinkVantage Power Manager beyond Windows 7.
    There are reports that some have installed it, but there are warnings that it may(?) clash with Windows 8/8.1 native power management functions and potentially cause system instability.
    Regards.

  • SCCM 2012 Software Update Management for Windows Servers and how to automatic set SCOM maintenance mode?

    Hi,
    We planning to go one level higher to automat and have more dynamic Software Update Management for Windows Servers. We have SCCM 2012 R2, SCOM 2012 R2 and SCO 2012 R2.
    Our plan is to pur server in an AD-Group to get Update Schedule, from the servers will be importet to an Collection for Automatic Update and reboot. If I understand Everything right SCOM can't read AD-Group and put then in an Schedule maintenance mode. SCOM
    can read reg value as exempel.
    IS there any smar way to make the SCOM Maintenance Mode Schedule dynamic?
    I found this
    http://www.scom2k7.com/scom-2012-maintenance-mode-scheduler/?
    /SaiTech

    You could use Orchestrator to put the servers from a specific collection, or AD group, in maintenance mode in SCOM. For an example see:

  • How do i run a new software program (Investment Account Manager for Windows) using Windows emulation software?

    How can I run a new software program (Investment Account Manager for Windows) using Windows emulation software?

    You will need a licensed copy of Windows 7, and I recommend VMFusion. You can run the program in Unity mode just as if it were a Mac application. Or, you can install Windows in Bootcamp and run the Mac in Windows when you boot and run it that way. Depends on the resources. I prefer the VM method because it is cleaner and gives you more options as far as backups, etc.

    Use the shift key depressed while opening iTunes option. This allows you to pick a library for use during that session.

  • Edge E540: Power Manager for Windows 8.1?

    The Thinkpad Edge E540 currently comes with Windows 7 preinstalled, Windows 8 added as recovery disk. It is also suffering from an issue, where the fan will spin unnecessarily fast until going to standby and waking up again.
    As a solution it was suggested to use the Power Manager utility [1]. However, the download page [2] lists the Power Manager only for Windows 7 (and indeed it won't install on Windows 8.1). 
    Does this mean that the Power Manager is not available for Windows 8? If  it isn't, will it be?

  • Lenovo Thinkpad 8 Wifi driver for Windows 10?

    I've installed Windows 10 Technical Preview on my Lenovo Thinkpad 8. It's been working pretty nicely, except for one thing: the Broadcom Wifi card driver (Broadcom BCM4324 Wireless LAN Driver). Since this doesn't work I have to use a USB antenna.
    This driver has gotten no update since the release of the Thinkpad 8! I tried running it in "Windows 8 compatibiliy mode" and that still doen't work. Does anŷone know of a possible way to make it work (either with an update, or an older driver in compatibility mode)? Any idea or suggestion (or word from Broadcom) is welcome!

    I had the same problem and installed the Win 8.1 version of the driver.
    First deinstall the microsoft driver, download the driver from http://support.lenovo.com/<xx>/<xx>/products/tablets/thinkpad-tablet-series/thinkpad-8/?tabName=Down...
    replace <xx> by your language code. eg. en (my language code was de)
    look for Broadcom BCM4324 Wireless LAN Driver for Windows 8.1 (32-bit) - ThinkPad 8 or (64-bit in case)
    Start the installer and you're done.

  • Best battery usage for windows

    I use boot camp and installed windows 7 and it's running great, however the battery performance is really not that good (I just got my MBP last month).
    Now I'm wondering, instead of using boot camp and have about 1.5 to 2 hours of windows 7, should I install fusion (or parallel) and get windows 7 to run that way so my battery can run longer?
    any suggestions/thoughts? thanks!

    thanks, Jason for the reply.
    Since I'm still new to mac, I'm still experiencing how to get close to 10 hours of battery life apple claimed. (I tried lowing the brightness, anything else?)
    battery life in windows is no more than 2 hours in windows. I didn't mean to compare the battery life with win 7 and Mac OS X, but maybe you guys who has more experience can tell me which would you prefer:
    1. install windows 7 with boot camp (dual boot)
    or
    2. install windows 7 using VMWare (or Parallel)
    which of the 2 above will have better performance?
    which of the 2 above will have better battery life?

  • Zenworks Desktop Management for Windows 7

    Hello,
    We are trying to figure out what is the solution for Windows 7. We are currently in a Novell environment (I believe Zenworks 7). Being unfamiliar with the Zenworks Desktop Management - can someone please explain the following to me:
    We are trying to find the application launcher answer to deploying on Windows 7. Whenever I run the ZfDAgent.msi (7 agent/Zenworks Desktop Management) on a Windows 7 (Enterprise) machine, it says the following:
    "The Remote Management Mirror Driver can only be installed on Windows 2000and Windows XP machines". Is there a new version of the Zenworks Desktop management software available/coming out for Windows 7?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Windows 7 is not supported on Zenworks for Desktops 7. You will need
    to upgrade to Zeworks Configuration Management 10. I'm in the middle
    of doing this myself right now.
    Regards,
    Ken
    Thanks for the quick reply -- by chance have you ran across any white papers, webcasts, or documentation as to the desktop application features included with Zenworks Configuration Management 10? Such as how the application explorer/window are handled with this new version? I tried doing a search to no avail.
    Thanks for any suggestions!
