Laptop battery question
So, I replaced the original one and it does last much longer but now I get no warning about low power. It just locks up. It is defintely at the end of its cycle because it doesnt even really have enough power to boot up, run a disk scan and log on but I would really like to have a warning before it locks up.

Re: Laptop battery question
Disc scan wont help. Try cycling the battery by putting it in. Running it down and  then charging and run it down again...
By exercising the negative to the positive elements. The battery becomes stronger and learns to last

Re: Laptop battery question
i learned my lesson....running a dell xps m1710, battery went out in 12 months. I was always on the charger either at home or the office...so now with the new battery, i run up the charge then let it go down to low batt warning. Hope this lets me get more than a year out of the battery!

RYD,
Surprised you remember many things however principals of electronics do not change much with practices of battery. Since Edison charging of batteries have not deviated.

So in essence, what you're saying is the Nickel Cadmium battery has/was never known for building up a "charging" Memory? You know, often resulting in a lower state of charge, rather than full charge.
I'm not getting the RYD's back on this one, however....

Re: Laptop battery question
Adams question does not pose type of battery in question. My proposition is there is nothing new under the sun!
