Re: [WIN7] Laptop Battery Issue...

thanks for your attention in this matter. however, my concern is not with max capacity, but rather with reported capacity:

said by AngryBlakMan:

i've been experiencing a problem where my laptop will just shut down without warning and enter into power saving mode without ever once bothering to warn me.

i wouldn't mind if i had 50% wear and my battery depleted itself in half the time it normally would so long as it reported the capacity (with wear taken account for) properly. the "what" that is causing the misreporting remains my concern.

As a matter of curiosity:

The Battery View program you linked to apparently can display 'fully charged capacity' (as in, now) and 'design capacity' (as in, when it was new).

Does your battery report those numbers and do they differ?

I think I'll load it myself and play...

it does and they do. i've known that i have had a pretty high level of wear for a long time. and that's fine. i'd just like to know, with wear already accounted for, why capacity is being misreported to the ends of my machine shutting down due to the misreport. i have ~62% of my designed capacity available anymore.
