Laptop Battery Query

6 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/laptop-battery-query.75902/

I purchased an IBM R-52 laptop a year ago. Nowadays,whenever i run it on the battery,the battery level decreases upto 60-70% and then suddenly dips to 4%.Do I need to purchase a new battery? What would be the approx. price of a new battery?

Just try calibrating the battery. This option would mostly be available in the BIOS or thru an IBM provided software. It should help mend "battery manners"!

hey..can anyone tell me how 2 increase battery life...

@Infrared
Can u please let me ko what calibration of Batteries actually do.

From the web said:
To maximize a notebook's battery performance, there are battery-calibration tools. This tool checks the battery's performance by discharging it fully and then optimizes its performance accordingly. The calibration process is a time consuming process as it discharges your entire battery, so run it when you have the time.

In a nutshell, it resets the hold time.

Thanks infrared.
