What is normal Full Capacity of the battery? [V1]

Hi guys!

I'm a happy owner of Asus V1 and it's battery. You know where it going, right?

Could you please tell me what is the normal Full Capacity of the battery?

I had real bad problems with my battery wear [95%... yeah, no words], so I've re-calibrated it and now NHC says that my battery wear is 0% and my Full Capacity is 979050 mWh. I have a sneaking suspicion that something is wrong here. Is it too much? It'll take ages to charge! It's now at 9% (90050) and still charging.

Update: now it shows that I can have 10 hours on my battery. I'm testing it now.

Help.
Please.

 

looks like a defective battery, ur still under the 1 year batt warranty so contact asus

 

Is this the same as Asus Global Warranty?

 

that's almost 1000 watt hours. 6 cells are usually around 53-57 whr, my 8 cell in my G1S is about 71whr, and 9 cells are about 83 whr.

 

I had 76635 mWh when I initially got my V1Jp.

I'm still hovering at 8%, but it's only because it uses my modular battery first and the main battery never dips below 50% charge most of the time (since it isn't used until the modular one is completely depleted).

 

yeah this is the battery wear problem on some asus laptops. This happened to me as well, you're battery should be able to use the full capacity until the cells truly do wear out. It'll just stay at like 100% for like 3 hours or so (or whatever your normal battery life was when you first got it)

I've gotten 3 replacement batteries and this happened to all three batteries. My warranty just ended and i read a post about the problem is with the charging circuit on your motherboard. The post basically said to try to get asus to replace your motherboard specifically mentioning to test it for this problem.

 

Yes, but there has been no definite confirmation (from CalebSchmerge, that is the poster who said that) that replacing the charging circuitry fixes the problem. I am still waiting for that confirmation to know whether to send my V6J for a RMA yet again, or not...

Please note if charging circuitry does fix the problem it is NOT on the mainboard. Changing the mainboard will NOT fix the problem, I am running with the 4th (fourth) mainboard and have the same problem.

 

mm that's what i thought as well, however i chatted with the same asus rep as caleb did about his battery problem and the asus rep said that the charging circuitry was on the motherboard. I also am skeptical as i gotten mine replaced once as well. He said i should instruct the engineers to test it to see if the problem is still there just in case. It seems as though a good majority of the mainboards if not all that were made have this problem

 

That doesn't explain why the modular battery charges fine without any wear problems.

It might be a combination of the two. I suppose it depends on who designed these batteries...

 

I agree it;s either the batt firmware/hardware, or a combination of that and motherboard circuitry or BIOS/ACPI code.

Instructing the engineers is sort of pointless in my experience, here's what they do: they install the new battery, they discharge it and recharge it once, it gets 2% wear but they dismiss that and send the notebook back.

 

It's not necessarily the engineers. It could be very well that they know what the problem is, but upper management doesn't want to let anyone know due to the potentially huge economic loss from having to repair/replace the units.

Could also depend on if the engineer is a proper engineer and is meticulous about what he does.

I think it's more that they don't know, or some third-party that they get this from doesn't know since it seems to be a recurring trend and hasn't been fixed.
