Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
So it's been three days and my wear is 26% =( the battery does last for 2 hrs n a half though, can someone give me a very detail way to get it back to 0% wear? Should I contact HP about the battery?
Edit >> I just tried to talk to the live support online, and I'm like i used a program mobilemeter to check the battery and its at 26% wear and shes like okay. She just gave me instructions to calibrate. I heard some people saying about leaving it on bios? How long will it take to drain?
To recalibrate the battery, complete the following steps:
1. Plug in the AC adapter.
2. Allow the battery to charge until the Battery Charge light turns off, showing that the battery is fully charged.
3. After the Battery Charge light turns off, unplug the AC adapter.
4. Turn on or restart your Notebook.
NOTE: Steps 5 through 8 prevent your Notebook from entering Sleep mode. These steps also allow the battery to drain faster.
5. Click Start and then Control Panel.
6. Click the Power Options icon to display the Power Options Properties dialog box.
7. Click the Power Schemes tab and select the Portable/Laptop scheme.
8. From the Running on batteries column:
a. In the Turn off monitor drop-down list, select Never.
b. In the Turn off hard disks drop-down list, select Never.
c. In the System standby drop-down list, select Never.
d. In the System hibernates drop-down list, select Never.
9. Let the battery drain until your Notebook reaches Hibernation and turns off.
10. Plug in the AC adapter and restart your Notebook.
11. Return to the Power Options Properties dialog box, and re-enter your power savings settings to the desired level.
NOTE: Battery charging time will vary based on the initial battery charge, the type of battery, and the activity of your Notebook while charging. Your Notebook's batteries charge much faster if the Notebook is off while charging.
3 days 26% wear, so how do you properly discharge?
