    Does any one have an qosmio X300-11s?

    I think I am having a battery issue but just wanted to check with other toshiba users. I know the battery ont his model is crap but here is the problem.

    When booting up on battery from fully charged the laptop seems to automatically go down to 96% battery as soon as it starts and goes down vey quickly. Also the last time i didnt use it for a day it had gone down to 85% from being fully charged on next start up.

    I have tried upgrading the bios, and charging the laptop then leaving it in bios to discharge to recalibrate the battery but it doesnt seem to be working. Is this normal for the model or does it sound like i have a bad battery? Just wanted to check before I ring the techguys to get a new one!

    Many thanks

    Hi.

    Download and install PC wizard, it will alow you to check your battery wear level.

    Once it`s install click on the power icon, and then on the word battery to get the details , look for the word level , as this is the battery wear level.
