How to Handle “Consider Replacing Your Battery” On Windows 7


For you laptop users with Windows 7 operating system , sooner or later you will surely get the notification "Consider Replacing your battery" is accompanied by the emergence of a red cross mark on the battery icon in the system tray. Notification that appears when Windows 7 "assume" it's time your laptop battery is replaced.
Please note that this notification appears when Windows 7 detects that your laptop battery capacity is less than 40% capacity should be, and therefore it is proper to be replaced. However, many reports from users of Windows 7 in various corners of the world that states that Windows 7 is sometimes wrong in detecting the laptop battery capacity. Even once there is a user who had already replaced the battery with a new laptop but still get this notification.

Regardless of whether or not accurate in detecting Windows 7 laptop battery capacity, I think we agree that the laptop battery is an expensive item. So long as can still be used well (despite being less than 40% of capacity is ideal), it does not need to be replaced. I personally think that as long as the laptop battery still can last over 30 minutes then it is not the time to be replaced.

If you experience problems "Consider Replacing your battery" as above, you should not panic or rush to spend deep to buy a new laptop battery. There is a simple way to eliminate these annoying notifications. Here are the steps:
  • Charge your battery up to full (99% - 100%), then turn off your laptop. Until this stage do not always pull his charger.
  • Turn on your laptop and press F8 repeatedly until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears. Choose Safe Mode.

     
      • Having already entered into the windows safe mode, then unplug your laptop battery charger. 
      •  Leave it on until the laptop turns itself off because the battery is completely discharged. It is advisable not to operate your laptop during this process. Leave it until the laptop turns itself off.
        • After death, replace your laptop charger, and then restart your laptop as normal. The result ... all back to normal! Notification "Consider Replacing your battery" and red cross signs on the battery icon does not show up anymore.



        The technique above is basically a way to calibrate your laptop battery capacity. By running the laptop from the initial condition of the battery is full (capacity 100%) until completely discharged (0% capacity), then Windows 7 so it "knows" the actual capacity (real capacity) of laptop batteries, and automatically reset parameter settings to -parameters related to the laptop battery.
        This method has been tested to two different laptops, the HP and ACER, and proven to both work successfully. So, you now do not have to wonder anymore if the received notification "Consider Replacing your battery" on your laptop.


        Note

        Based on the engineer of Windows 7 in one of the official release on the Microsoft website, explained that the actual notification was originally intended to become one of the security features in Windows 7 (this does not exist in Windows XP or Windows Vista), whose purpose is to inform users that the laptop battery is worn out and therefore it was time to be replaced.

        But in fact, many users of Windows 7, which was disturbed by the appearance of this notification. Some have argued that the limit (threshold) 40% considered to be too large considering the capacity of 30%-an ideal capacity of any laptop batteries are generally still able to last about 1 hour, and this it is still quite adequate for laptop users. In addition the price of laptop batteries rather expensive to make many users are reluctant to replace the laptop battery unless it is completely broken.

        But not a few who consider the "features" of this as a bug, considering the number of cases where Windows 7 is proved wrong in detecting the true capacity of the laptop battery. I personally consider including this as a bug! Why? Because when my HP laptop I got this notification perform testing with to charge the battery fully and then go into normal Windows (not safe mode) and then select the Power Saver option and silence him.
        The result, in just 48 minutes my laptop is dead (the battery runs out). When it was my calibrations and
        notification is gone, I do the same thing. I charge it up then go to normal Windows and then select the Power Saver and silence him. The results were different! Need Time 1 hour 24 minutes before my laptop died on battery power runs out. So there is a difference of about 40 minutes here, and I think this 40-minute difference was highly significant.

        In conclusion: Microsoft seems to still have a lot of hard work to fix bugs "Consider Replacing your battery" is.
