indianajones Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Hi folks, I have a dell Vostro 1520 running 10.6.3 and very weel at that I might add. Irecently got a new battery under warranty because my original battery suddenly decided to give me only 30 mins of service. The new battery brought the more familiar 1:45-2:00 of service. I have been careful not to leave the adapter plugged in all the time to cycle the battery. Last night I shut down my Vostro and everything was fine. This morning when I rebooted the laptop, I noticed that the charge time which used to be between 1:00 and 2:00 was around 15:00. I also keep getting the low battry alarm if I disconnect the charger. I left the charger connected for an hour to be sure that the battery would be well charged and disconnected the charger. As expected the battery alarm cam on, but I was able to get the regular amount of run time, which means that the battery is fine. For some reason my system suddenly think that the battery full charge is 48840 mAh instead of 2200 mAh. I'd apprecate if anybody could help me or point me in the right direction. I also checked if the problem exists in windows.... it does not. Vista correctlt indicates a run time of around 1:45. Thanks for your help Indiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
