    Hello,

    I have been having problems with my battery. Before, when my battery went down to 40%, it would immediately go down to 6% and give me a warning. This wasn't too bad, but nowadays, my battery jumps from 60% to 6% on my power manager. Has anybody had this problem? Is there a way to fix this?

    Thank you!

    If that doesn't fix it, calling support should be next on your list.

    Go to Thinkvantage PowerManager and look for the Battery Maintenance section.
