Laptop battery problems
I have a problem with the level of charge from my laptop's battery.
At 100%, the battery meter is showing about 2hours 10minutes charge. This then drops gradually at a consistent rate to about 55%, when it suddenly drops to 7-8% (about 10-9 minutes), then consistently down to nothing. I get about an hours charge from a full charge. The battery is a Li-Ion, and the laptop is a Dell Inspiron model. I've Googled, but there isn't a lot of info available. It doesn't seem to be a memory problem, but perhaps something to do with the charging software or hardware in the battery pack. I've updated the BIOS, but that hasn't made any difference. Any ideas on how to restore my battery pack? -- Hugo Nebula "If no-one on the internet wants a piece of this, just how far from the pack have you strayed?" |
