Battery Question!

#1 Post by HarryWild » Fri Feb 22, 2008 2:22 am

I charged my 4 cell battery for two days by leaving it plug into the receptacle. I look at the bottom of the screen and it shows that it is 96%.

Is this normal for a new/almost new battery? How do I get it to reach 100%?

It is not one of the batteries for recall either!

Enter ThinkVantage Power Mananger. Go to the Battery Information tab. Click on Battery Maintenance, select Start Battery Gauge Reset. Let the program recalibrate the battey and you should be done.GP
