blksith0 Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Laptop: Dell Inspiron N7110 My issue is not that the battery dies quickly. It's about 10 years old, and it lives on the charger, so I expect degradation. The problem is that windows doesn't correctly detect the remaining capacity. When unplugged, the laptop will quickly drain 100% --> 70% in about 20 minutes, then die, without triggering any automatic hibernation or sleep. Is there something in the BIOS I can do reset the battery stats or something? Or can I change Windows' automatic low-battery sleep to a much higher percentage (than the 5 or 10 percent default)?

Boris Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 As far as I know, there is nothing you can do to change what it shows. If it "lives on the charger" - why not just leave it plugged in. If you must have it working on battery, just get a replacement (only £15 with warranty here in the UK) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264882127653?hash=item3dac348325:g:5~UAAOSw~8leHR6h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
