Noname battery problems - X31 just switches off

[Thinkhead]

I bought a new no-name battery which actually works fine in my X31. However when the battery has about 8% capacity remaining the PC instantly switches off.

No warning. Nothing, but a surprising switch off.

The battery info is showing:

Code: Select all

Manufacturer: FLT
Manufacture Date: 2005-07-13
First used date: -
Serial number: 1000

The charge cycle counter works also fine.

Any help?

I would probably let it drain a bit above 8%, then reboot into bios and let the machine run until it shuts itself off. Hopefully that will recalibrate it. After that, you should charge it fully while the machine is powered on.
