Hi friends,
My Laptop battery does not meet expected life.
I have purchased a Laptop 10 months ago. My laptop came along with 6 cell battery, which initially gave me approximately two and half – 3 hours back up time as promised by the Manufacturer. It has now started giving me about 1 hour back up time. The battery icon shows 80% – 85% charged and 2-3 hour backup time. But in reality, it hardly gives me about 1 hour back up.
Pleas provide me any solution. My system is still under warranty, but manufacturer refused battery replacement stating it’s a consumable commodity and does not get covered under warranty.
Thanks.

Here is the solution for your problemÂ
You can use software to check your battery status it shows the fully details for the battery as well as it also shows the temperature of different parts in a Laptop. This software is easy to install and is free available on the web. The name of the software is "Batterycare" it will help to solve your problem. Also see that when you plug the laptop a beep comes from the laptop if it is working then your battery is fully functional. Although Try to solve your problem with these suggestions:
First shutdown your laptop
See where the battery of your laptop is located
Remove the cover of battery or if it is just lock unlock it first any screw can be removed with a screw driver.
Put out the battery of your laptop. And keep it out for one minute. Clean the contacts if you can.
Then simply place back it to your laptop in such a way you remove it.Â
This will solve the problem you are facing.
Also see the wires of your adaptor rather they are damaged or have any kind of fault.Â
You can also take these steps to boost battery life:
First of all reduce the brightness of your laptop screen. It will consume less power.
Secondly detach all such devices that are not in use during working on laptop battery.
Disconnect all such network devices that are not in use.
There are two types of batteries and they work on their conditions, types are
NiMH batteries: it works 1.5 to 2.5 hours.
LiION batteries: works from 2.0 to 3.0 hours.
So check your battery type also.
If problem still remains, then dear you have to change your battery.
Ok that's it.

This is a kind of problem I faced myself early. But not to worry there is a solution which will help your battery to regain its lost health. The solution may sound funny but really it is worth trying. First you need to is drain your battery to 0. Then detach your battery from your laptop now put it on a refrigerator trust me its a proven solution. Put it on the refrigerator for at least 12 hrs. Then take the battery out of the refrigerator and keep it detaches from the laptop until it reaches room temperature. When it is in room temperature put it back on the laptop and charge it until it is fully recharged. It will regain its original health.
Thank you
Battery aging with less Back-up and time.
The battery’s operating hours as specified by the manufacturer is actually just an approximate and the entire duration will depend on how you use the device. Of course, if you play lots of games or you use applications that deal with graphics and videos, this increase the rate of consumption of the battery.
The life of a fully charged battery will depend on how you use it or how you use the device. If you play games on your laptop, it will surely drain the battery faster than normal. But if you’re only doing some typing like in Microsoft Office Word or browsing the internet, the battery is consumed at a normal rate.
But if you want to know the life of the battery in general, here’s an explanation about the lifespan of a laptop battery. The total lifespan of a laptop’s battery or any other battery depends on how you use your computer or device. The more often you charge, the faster its lifespan will decrease.
All rechargeable batteries have limited lifespan and its average lifespan is determined by the cycle count which is then equivalent to charge and discharge. In a laptop computer, the average lifespan of a Li-Ion battery is about 700 to 800 cycles and normally lasts around two to three years (2 – 3 years).
According to Apple, you can allow your laptop to be connected to the charger even when the battery is full. This will not damage the battery. In this state, the laptop will run on AC power instead of battery. But you need to let your laptop run on battery at least once a month to allow the battery to discharge normally.
The idea here is simple: when the battery is charging and it reaches the full charge capacity, there is a mechanism in the laptop’s power supply that will stop the charging of the battery and shifts to AC power. When the laptop is running on AC power, the battery will remain at its level without discharging therefore preventing the cycle count from decreasing and prolonging its life.
To extend the life of your battery, try following this method to save the cost of buying new batteries.
