How to Calibrate Your Laptop’s Battery for Accurate Battery Life Estimates

How to Calibrate Your Laptop’s Battery for Accurate Battery Life Estimates.

Even if you treat your laptop’s battery properly, its capacity will decrease over time. Its built-in power meter estimates how much juice available and how much time on battery you have left—but it can sometimes give you incorrect estimates.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 operating systems.Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).

Could you re-do this tutorial using a laptop? It was hard to follow when you got to the power settings.

[steveshelton]

you should have shown us this on a laptop with a battery because I was not able to follow very well since the setting you talked about are not even on your computer you used to teach us this.

for ‘on battery and plugged in’ the blue text in my laptop says to type in minutes instead of sleep or hibernate? pretty sure i’m in the right place but it says different than mine..

[m.d.marlonortigoza]

I just got a new battery for my HP Hewlett-Packard laptop. When I first put it in it said 68% and was going down rather quick, but the instructions say not to let it go to 0% and it did before I had a chance to check it.... after it reached 0 it hasn’t gone above since. I’ve let it charge for ages and it’s done nothing.

So at 5%, my laptop hibernated but I accidentally pressed the power button and the laptop turned back on. So I let it go down to 0% and it died. Did I mess up the calibration?

I bought a new laptop do i need to do battery calibration?

[giobertodeloguercio]

back then my laptop had the option for me to manually change my battery performance like it had a scale from best battery saving from best performance and it suggested me something every hour and i clicked an option and then it just removed the scale so how can i get the scale back??

[RealTalker]

My problem has become, even though my laptop says it has charge, it will all of a sudden shutdown as if I pulled the battery, and when I go to turn back on, power light flashes like "zero batterym then soon as I plug in the cord, the "Full charge light" is on and boots up fine, and shows I have 100%, so wtf is going on, PLEASE HELP...also, even though I will unplug it after full charge, and then hibernate, sometimes it will do the above also, not turn on with the "zero battery" light, then plug solves this, but defeats the prupose or a portable device...but soon as plugged in, the 100% lasts...untill random "battery pull" behavior occurs, WHY? :(

I came across these options once and now I can't find them anywhere now, BATTERY CALIBRATION means discharging from 100 percent to zero and then charging the battery to full, DOES ANYONE IN THE WORLD KNOW where these options are hidden?

[darrlinq]

My dell laptop says "Plugged in, not charging." How do I get it to charge? I've tried lots of things, and none of them have worked. Please help me!

[nevy]

Thanks you kind sir, my battery is locked at 2 hour usage but after these tips i just unlocked it

[samuelcerrato]

Poor instruction video. What good is describing how to perform a function on a computer when you cannot display what you are referring to? The terminology used is not even the same as what appears on many laptops! You should reconsider doing another video such as this one.

[getsmartpaul]

Hi, I had trouble following this laptop battery video since you are using a Desktop computer. Sorry !

[nix]

sir can you help me my batery charges only upto 63% no matter how much i charge it

[johnsenchakinternetnetwork]

Oh no normally you need to delete the battery driver in the Device Manager to properly calibrate, then reboot
