I've only had my laptop since January 22nd. Everything has always worked well and suddenly the battery only lasts 4 hours from 100% to 0%, last weeks it was at least 7 hours from 80% to 20%. There's, of course, a big difference. I always set the laptop to energy-saving mode and maximum battery capacity. Display brightness 50%, no keyboard light.
I think 7 hours are very short because 16 hours are stated on the website, but 4 hours is something else.
What can I do now? I still have a guarantee, but I've already set up everything, installed programs and everything else.
Most of the time you have no guarantee on the battery. Take a look at the documents!
That depends on how much you do on the pc. If you have a high CPU load, i.e. You are doing something computationally intensive, your PC also uses significantly more. That should not be underestimated.
I have a 1 year warranty on the battery and 2 years on the device
Which laptop do you have?
16st. Seems pretty exaggerated to me…
maybe has something installed on it that runs constantly in the background and therefore generates higher battery consumption. Think your problem is more on the software side
I practically use it from morning to night
Pay attention to which applications are running in the background. Stuff like Discord, Microsoft Teams, etc. Eats LOTS of things while it is running, it is best to end such applications with the Task Manager.
You can also check in the Task Manager which applications start with Windows and deactivate them
Well then I would quickly make use of the guarantee!
I only have Discord in the background and a few browser tabs. But I've had that the whole time. The battery ran for 7 hours anyway. And that's the notebook: https://www.notebooksbilliger.de/...012+638610
Have Discord always on in the background, but the battery still ran for 7 hours until recently?
Can't you look up which apps are consuming the most?
As I said, if you only run Word that should probably be enough but if you do this and that in parallel, the battery life drops very quickly
Have a look in the Task Manager, maybe something is running in the background that costs a lot of battery
Discord is at the top, followed by Opera.
Nope, just Discord (which I always wear) and Opera
It was the same with me. Believe me that is the case with all computers. At the beginning it had a running time of 7 hours. Then only 4 and now only 1, but then he also had them. No idea why that is. I'll buy a new battery soon and I'll be fine. But only use the one with the 1 hour on the electricity because of course that is nothing. And hardly on the move.
Well, my notebook is only a month old
They only write that. It says up to speak if you are only in the bios and have no load on everything
And if I then make use of the guarantee, I'll get a new notebook or just a new battery. Because, as I said: I've already set everything up and all that and that wasn't exactly little work
As I said, it was the same with my Acer. Also the more I installed. I kept the processes in the background as low as possible. The battery that I have in there's also ridiculously small. Only had 4 cells and less capacity than a small anchor power bank. How is a large multimedia notebook supposed to supply that with power? The battery is always saved.
I don't know, but probably a new battery.
7 hours Seems legitimate to me. I don't think I can do more than that.
Yes, but he doesn't even last the 4 hours. A week ago it was still 7 hours
Then i have no idea sry
