It's the laptop that's faulty, not the battery.



Gareth.

I just had a system message flash up on my laptop about battery life
extender as used with AC adaptor most of the time ( but most of
yesterday its ps was unplugged unknowingly, says 100% though at the
moment).
I've just moved the silly "slider" to ON in the settings panel.
To "set the maximum charge level to 80% to extend the battery lifetime "

JIC, to avoid tearing into the pc, if its a SW issue , the response to a
changed battery would be the same , probably, so perceived as a pc
problem perhaps.
I recently needed my portable to be running all day on battery (reduced
display output) and wanted to go back to 100% charge but could not find
how to reset to charging mode. Was in a hurry and settled on 80% charge
and was ok. Now I've found this potential solution , but not tried yet.
