What's append with LENOVO battery ?

Hi, i use a 7,8 Ah on my T61p.
The battery as 86 % of nominal capability and 120 cycles.
A day after working, the battery won't charge : battery error and fast amber blinking.
I discharged it completely, same thing.
After few days, i can charge it and now it seems to work;
My friend with the same material, have the same problem : good battery but a day, battery error and finished. Good for the garbage. Two battery in 18 months do the same thing !
All the batteries were in good conditions before this failure.
What's happened ? Lenovo batteries are expensive toys ?

Abouladfia,
If the protection circuit opens due to cell imbalance, a short, or other fault detected within the battery pack, the system will recognize the remaining charge level of the battery, but will neither charge nor discharge the battery further - it is electrically disconnected.
I have not seen a battery in this state, able to be recovered for use, so I'm perplexed when you say it worked again after letting it sit several days.
Many times, the batteries will not slowly degrade as one would expect, and will appear fine one day and have the protection circuit trigger the next. I have personally experienced this on a tablet battery I have.
I'm not sure what part number you have - you might check the support site to see if your battery is covered by this extended service program.
Hopfully, you have one of these batteries.
Best regards,
Mark

What's wrong with my battery?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
In most cases, OS X tells you to replace the battery when its capacity is below 80%. This is the reason why you see a message telling you to replace the battery.
It is up to you to get the battery replaced or not. If you want to get it replaced, you need to take the Mac to an Apple Store, and the battery replacement will costs $129 + labour. You can replace it yourself by buying the battery online. Also, if your Mac is in warranty, the battery replacement is free.
To be fair, your battery capacity is lower than it should be after 420 cycles, more when Apple says their batteries should have 80% of their capacity after 1000 cycles. See > http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html

My battery reads that it is 100% charged. However, as soon as I unplug it, it dies instantly. The battery lights are still functional, and everything else is working fine! What's wrong with my battery?

Sounds like it may need to be replaced. Contact Apple.

What is wrong with my battery?

What is wrong with it? I have nothing open, other than this one app. It is only a month old, and Mountain Lion seems to have made it this way?

Only 3:20 of battery life?

1. If the computer is on, turn it off.
2. Reset the power manager by simultaneously pressing and then releasing Shift-Control-Option-Power on the keyboard. Do not press the fn (Function) key while using this combination of keystrokes.
3. Wait 5 seconds.
4. Press the Power button to restart the computer.
I followed these directions, but the computer turned on when I initially pressed the power button while holding Option, Shift, and Control, so I don't know if it worked properly or not. I'm currently letting my battery drain, though.

What's up with my battery?

I have an HP G71 with a fairly new battery. The original battery I had for this thing died, and I had to spend a good $300 replacing it from HP. After replacing it, everything went fine, until I begin to realize that it was plugged in, not charging. I ran a battery check and it said I had to replace it. Like I said, this battery is only about 2-3 months old, and was suposed to last twice as long as a normal battery. What's up with that? I don't have the money to go buy a new battery, and I just bought this one.
Failure ID: REOOW

First and foremost, be aware that these batteries have a very definite life to them, based on the quantity of full recharge cycles. From what I've seen in the forums, "normal" use will kill a battery in about eighteen months.
If you're in warranty, a battery replacement is, of course, free. The out-of-warranty cost is $60.
Before you send it in to Apple, read this link. You just might learn something that will help you out.

What is up with my battery is not lasting yo

What is up with this garbage battery u put on my phone what the f____

just an addition.
I added coconut battery and it says my current capacity is 3896 mAh, and my original is 5020 mAh. It also says my computer is 21 months old. Could it be time for a new battery, or do I just need to calibrate?

Anyone guess what is wrong with this battery issue?

A couple of weeks ago I noticed something unusual... it showed "not charging" in the indicator instead of a percentage... I just never seen it show up like that but it was shown that way at 93%...so I wasn't too worried. I was told to calibrated my battery. Before I calibrated my battery I let it drop down to 85% and it wouldn't recharge at all until after a while and it did start to charge, although slowly and not consistently (went from green to orange). Then I let it drain all the way and it recharged up fine and showed the steady orange. I noticed when I would use it since then it'd never show it recharging back up like it used to ("trickle")... but when I put my computer to sleep and woke it up I noticed it had recharged and whatnot. Maybe I didn't calibrate it right? I don't think I let it sleep for 5 hours. But I'm not sure if that will even fix the problem. I cleaned the magsafe adapter and the connector just in case but I don't think a dirty adapter is the problem. Something makes me think something's wrong with the logic board or battery? Am I jumping to conclusions? I didn't touch the computer after last Sunday and when I woke the computer up on Wednesday it showed "Not Charging" at 82%...I let it drop to 75% and it still says not charging with a green light. Great. I don't know what to do...I think mine is a built in battery MBP so I don't even know how to check it. I've only had this computer for 17 months. Should I trust local repairs to look at my computer? I don't really have a lot to spend... I have never been mobile with it so it's fine as a desktop but it's not ideal, especially if you were to lose it if you were working on it. I've already tried the SMC and it did nothing...unless I didn't do it right... anyone else know what I could do to try to fix the problem on my own? I'm worried about recalibrating it and it not charging back up, probably won't happen but it's in the back of my mind of constant worry.
Here's my info:

Ok here are my recommendations for your consideration:
Goto the “apple “on your top menu bar. Click 1stoption (About this Mac) a small screen will appear
andclick on “More Info...which will take to a large another smallscreen with Mac Book Pro in huge
letterslike this: MacBookPro.
Nextgo the “Systems Report” button: press.
NextUnder “Hardware” on the left you'll see “Power” click that.Volia the battery info
Nowlets do an analysis of the info: here's mine a 2 mo. Old 17” MBP:
ModelInformation:
SerialNumber:     ****************** (not shown by me)
Manufacturer:     DP
DeviceName:     ******************(not shown by me)
PackLot Code:     0

CycleCount:     17
Condition:     Normal
BatteryInstalled:     Yes
Amperage(mA):     2131
Voltage(mV):     12534
OK under“Charge Information” you see my MBP currently at 7806mAh (mstands Milli
which is 10 tothe -3 power) which translates to 7.806 Amp hours in non-techiespeak. As you see on mine Full Charge Capacity is 8.488 Amp hours.
Ok under healthyou see my cycle count is 17. Your very low cycle count 31 reflects that you are not “conditioning” your battery by runningit on battery till 5 minute warning or going to sleep and then fullyrecharging it! You've had it ~18 mo. And your dooming your battery to a short life.
Condition your battery for a long life.
Please notethis is a super battery 2.131 Amps @ 12.534Volts which Apple sayswill last 7 hours. Real world experience is significantly less withLion OS installed.

When using power adapter, what to do with the battery?

Hi,
I own a macbook (mid july 07 model). Most of the time (99%) my macbook is on my desktop and the power adapter is plugged in. I am wondering in my senario, is it better to leave the battery in or out? I understand that there will be performances differences but I can live with the fall in performance when the battery is out, as I don't run heavy apps. Would't it be battery for the battery if I leave it 50% charged and tucked away? I read it from the apple website that if you don't intend to use the battery for 6 mths, its better to do it this way. However, I read the other post in this forum (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4883352&#4883352) and people suggested to leave the battery in as it doesn't make much of a difference. This kind of left me hanging, in or out? What do you guys do with your batteries? Care to share some experiences? or advise? Thanks.

It is OK to leave your battery hooked to the charger most of the time. The only time I unhook mine from the charger is when I calibrate. You should calibrate your battery once a month.

New OS install - what to do with Lenovo HDD partitions?

So i bought G555 500GB HDD version and when i was trying to install new OS i noticed something weird. HDD was already partitione into 4 parts, first was Some system part 29,3 GB, then some primary part or something 29,3 GB, then HDD 400GB and then some LEnovo part very small something about OEM.
So apart from that its only 460GB not 500GB i wanted to know if i can Format those first sections without worries so that i can install my OS there or maybe if i wanted to merge them and partition differently?

What is up with my battery?

Lately I have been running my macBook off of its battery, and the battery tends to die, without warning, somewhere between 50 and 60 percent. Here is the system profiler profile on my battery (at 84% and charging):

Full charge capacity (mAh): 3860
Health Information:

Battery health: Fair
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): 566
Voltage (mV): 12584
I don't know if that helps at all...
Is it worth it to run the calibration? Also, if I do, the calibration instructions say to use it until it goes to sleep, then to turn it off or allow it to sleep for five hours or longer--if I turn it off do I have to leave it off for five hours?
Thanks!

just an addition.

Hi Dieter,
have you asked that question in the German forum, they're more likely to know or be able to find out for you. You can reach the German forum through the Support In Other Languages menu at the very top of the page or through the link in my signature.

I'm so frustrated with lenovo products (X200 and E420s owner)

I just received my thinkpad E420s, I can almost endure everything odd about it, e.g.,
* oddly placed keys, pgup / pgdown buttons, F1-F12, PrtSc between ctrl and alt? Ridiculous...
* no status indicator leds...
BUT what I really can't bear is there's a bad pixel on the screen!!!!!! AND after searching the internet, I found it imposible to replace or return becuase there's only one bad pixel...can any tell me how to make more??????
I'm currently still having a stucked X200 at home which I bought 18 months ago from Singapore. It has given up working after 13 month normal use. I was in China that time, I totally can't get it repaired because the SPECIAL/UNIQUE IWS policy in China.
I really don't know what's wrong with lenovo, is it time for me to say good bye to the "red point" ????
LENOVO, PLEASE DO NOT FRUSTRATE YOUR CUSTOMERS!
HOW DARE I BUY ANOTHER LENOVO PRODUCT ANY MORE???
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Related to E420:
Got an E420 1141-JDG in May 2012… 18 days later, a bright vertical line appeared on the screen. The line is 2 pixels wide, 3.1 cm long, on the upper left side of the display. After the UEFI upgrade to 8HET41WW(1.23), the problem solved temporarily but reappeared then…
Haven't run any Diagnostics Utilities yet. According to the Hardware Maintenance Manual, the solution is 'LCD assembly'.
Also, noticed the computer doesn’t earth via the power adapter, so connected an earth wire to the USB shield for grounding. No HDD activity indicator, annoying… the pointing stick imprints the screen…
Didn’t let the Iranian guarantee provider to ‘service’ cos they know nothing about the ESD precautions & earthing… they even didn’t know the computers shouldn’t be moved when the HDD is running… informed Lenovo Service in Sweden & China + local IT Union by phone, email, fax & post, no response…
SURPRISINGLY, 2 yrs on, still no new malfunction… have used the computer almost daily… but I’ve been ALWAYS worried about its board failure…

What is up with this mysterious battery??

So, I recently asked about a battery which is not charging.... it's plugged in, shows the charging symbol on the screen. I reset the SMC (or whatever) , and after two times, it worked and the battery charged like normal. But now, it's doing the same thing, and after reseting that thing at least 4 or 5 times over the last two days, still the battery is not getting charged. And this time there is a very, very faint green light on the charger. The light on the charger also is staying on even when it is unplugged from the computer.
Strangely enough, the battery was at 14%. I unplugged it for about 15 seconds to look at the charger, and it went up to 16%. As soon as I plugged it back in, it went to 15%.
It's really confusing.... the battery is in good quality (except that it's a little bit swollen). Any suggestions how to get it charging again? Apple store is not an option right now, at least for the next month.
Actually, something bizarre just happened. In the time it took me to write this just now, all of a sudden the amber light goes on, and it shows that it is charging again like normal. Anyone have any idea WHAT ON EARTH is wrong with this battery???
Here's the info (taken before it started to mysteriously charge again) :

Battery is 3 - 4 years old, as old as the computer is. I was doubting whether it was the battery or the charger, because the battery information says the battery is good.
Also, thanks for that tip. I don't know anything about computers, I only started going on here when I had this battery problem and don't live near a store.
