v6v batter still acting up

I've had the yellow light staying on a lot recently. The battery level has said 100 percent though. When I would shut off the computer, pull the battery, and re connect it, things would be fine.

Now though, the battery is staying at the 90 percent or this morning, 96 percent mark. Yellow light stays on.

Has anyone had this issue?
I wonder what my next step should be...

 

Battery calibration perhaps?

 

DO NOT DO A BATTERY CALIBRATION - for the last time, that's NOT what it's meant for. It's meant for a battery that is charging to 100% and the charging light turns off as if it has finished.... then when you pull the plug it goes from 100% down to 90/85% in a minute or two....... this is something very common to every type of battery over the years. What the calibration tool does is it drains and fills the battery and tells the computer ok.... it'll fill 9/10 of the way....... so that is now 100% instead of 90%.... so your life still keeps going down, but the system will just tell you this is what the battery is capable of now and this is 100%.

For SMA's issue.... I think he may very well have a bad battery and he should call Asus and let them know. I haven't seen or heard of any issues with that battery, but things happen and it's a battery....... anything could happen... it'll be something that's covered under warranty.

 

Ok, good thing I added the 'perhaps' hah.

Go Justin for the save!

 

.... this comes up a lot... in fact, I think you should add that to the FAQ...... because it's important!

 

Actually this is exactly the problem with the z71v battery except you cant pull it out and stick it back in. It still remains broken. Battery calibration on the z71v just kills it even more. So what coriolis said is actually a good way to further kill your battery but its a good thing becuase it will tell you for sure if its broken or not. SO yes try it at your own risk but it is under warranty sooooo.....

 

... no it doesn't "kill" the battery and it's only affecting your system... throw that in another test system and it's going to read that it's only charging to whatever percentage........ if the battery is bad, just send it back, Asus has never been hard to deal with, especially with things like these.
