Quick Solution for Laptop Battery Display Issues

[barry777]

If your laptop battery display is showing incorrect information or behaving abnormally, follow these steps to quickly troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

1. Calibrate the Battery
To ensure the battery level is displayed accurately, perform a battery calibration:
- Charge the laptop battery to 100%.
- Disconnect the power adapter and use the laptop until the battery is fully drained and the laptop shuts down automatically.
- Reconnect the power adapter, fully charge the battery, and repeat this process 1–2 times.

2. Check Battery Health
Check the battery’s health status to confirm its actual capacity and performance:
- Open Command Prompt (CMD) as an administrator and run the following command to generate a battery report:

Code: Select all

powercfg /batteryreport  

The generated report will be saved at:

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\System32\battery-report.html  

- Open the report to view details such as the designed capacity, full charge capacity, cycle count, and overall battery health.

3. Disable Low Battery Shutdown and Hibernation
To prevent the laptop from shutting down or hibernating unexpectedly at low battery levels, adjust the following settings:

Modify Power Settings
- Open Control Panel → Power Options → Change plan settings → Change advanced power settings
- Find "Critical battery action" and set it to "Do nothing."

Disable Hibernation
Run the following command in Administrator CMD to disable hibernation:

Code: Select all

powercfg -h off  

Disable Fast Startup
- Open Control Panel → Power Options → Choose what the power buttons do
- Uncheck "Turn on fast startup" and save changes.
