    Help with shutting down under as soon as battery gets under 10%


    Greetings, I have a Lenovo YOGA Pro 9i computer. I have noticed that as soon as the computer's battery gets below 10%, the system shuts down, and I cannot turn it back on until I plug in the power cord. When I plug in the power cord and turn it on, the battery shows that it's at 0% meaning my computer "died" as soon as it got below 10%. My low battery notification is also not showing. I believe this is because it normally used to show up at 6%; however, now the computer can't reach that percent without shutting off. If anyone could help me with this matter, it would be great! Thank you, Dila

    :)

    Plugged in but battery does not charge

    If the laptop works without the battery then charger is functioning correctly. Take a cloth with a bit of rubbing alcohol on it (or some on-the-go alcohol swabs), and clean the metal contacts that connect your battery to your laptop.

    Make sure to install all Windows important updates.

    Install latest versions of your laptop device drivers you can download the latest device drivers from the device manufacturer or from your laptop manufacturer website.

    Help with shutting down under as soon as battery gets under 10%

    New battery not charging


    I suggested uninstall, not re-install.

    There's an extended version of those instructions - the same idea, but some additional steps.
    Shut down hte machine
    Remove the battery - run on AC power only
    Device Manager > Batteries
    Uninstall Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery
    Shut down the machine

    Remove AC power
    Wait 1 minte
    Insert Battery
    Connect AC power
    Start the machine

    Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery should be reinstalled when the machine is booting

    But, the .3 volts might be significant - I agree with Kbird
