16ngr1 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I mean, when unplugged, after working for some time, the computer hibernates at 80% without warning, sporadically, assuming there is low battery level... This means I have to waste about five minutes time just to go back to work every time this happens? Whether it's 20% or 40% or 60% or even 80% or 90% it just tells me I must plug in because of "critical battery level". What exactly is wrong with having this problem?

xilolee Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hi 16ngr1. Have you already read (and tried) the following topic? How do I change the low battery notification? Keep us updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16ngr1 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 I tried the link that you sent me but this did not help as I have checked these settings: For the power plan I chose I saw that it is 10% for "low battery" and 5% for "critical battery", but the thing is that this computer is assuming "critical battery" at 80%. This also goes to hibernate even if it is not idle. Any other solutions that could help the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilolee Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 How many years is the battery old? Maybe it is at its end of life... Or is it oxidized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16ngr1 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I bought this computer more than two years ago...and never replaced it. Maybe I need to get a new battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16ngr1 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I tried sticking and removing selotape on the battery to try to solve the issue: http://forum.wisecleaner.com/index.php?/topic/9099-random-hibernation-80-battery-power-is-not-enough-for-this-computer-something-wrong-with-my-battery/ and the I found out that the issue actually depended on the presence of tape - No tape - battery will never hibernate. With tape - battery can hibernate at any time and reading could read zero and sometimes the battery will not charge even if plugged on for hours and hours and hours How can both issues be solved? if not tape what can prevent a loose battery from cutting power while on battery?
