Battery drains on X60S even on AC Adapter, WHY?

#1 Post by bigtiger » Sat Nov 25, 2006 6:54 pm

I notice that my X60S will drain the battery even if AC adapter is connected all the time.

The battery is first used on 2006-11 and got 3 cycles currently. I notice that it will drain about 1% every two or three days.

I have set the charging threshold at 65%.

Anybody got the same experience?

Thats normal, its even good.

An older battery of me looses like 1.5% per day:)

As long as it starts charging once it reaches that threshold, it's fine. It's better for the battery than charging it all the time.

Thanks everybody.

But my former X40 didnot have this problem. It stays at a percentage for quite long, like few weeks.
