  1. Windows 10: Problems with the battery life percentage


    Hello, I have two problems:


    1) When my laptop is plugged it shows two different battery life percentages, and

    2) When the battery life is around 30%-40% my laptop suspends without warning and I can't use until I plug it to the AC, when I turn it on again(while plugged to AC) it shows 0% of battery, but at least what I've been doing when it suspended is still there


    I would be very thankful if somebody could tell me what the problem is.

    :)

  2. Battery Percentage Windows 10

    It makes no sense to not have a battery percentage indicator on mouseover. Clicking on the icon to see the percentage leftover is an extra step I'd rather not take.

  3. Manually Change Windows Battery Percentage

    I'm in an awkward problem. I have a laptop with a faulty battery whose battery percentage doesn't go beyond 3% doesn't matter how much time I leave it for charging. Now I need to flash new BIOS firmware which requires at least 10% battery life. Now I know my laptop won't ever go beyond that percentage. What can be the possible solution without changing the battery of course? Is there some place where Windows store battery percentage? Any way to hack there? Or maybe fool the BIOS software?

    I'm using Windows 10 Pro x86.

    The battery life

    Hi boerab61,

    Battery life varies from phone model to phone model, even when they're from the same OEM. For instance, the HTC Titan II has a different battery life than a HTC HD7. However, your particular battery life can be varied depending on several factors:

    • Strength of your phone carrier signal. If you're in areas of low or terrible coverage, then your phone will consume more energy trying to maintain a connection with a cell tower.
    • High usage of GPS can also drain the battery quickly because the GPS sensor consumes a lot of energy. By the way, if you are using GPS a lot, you can actually improve battery life by leaving WiFi on, as Windows Phone can quickly pull geolocation info from
      WiFi routers, even if you're not connected to them.
    With that in mind, here's some suggestions to try to extend the life of your battery.

    Reduce the load on your battery:


    • Decrease screen brightness.

    • Set Timeout duration on Backlight.

    • Set Auto-Off Timeout duration for 1 minute or less (device turns off).
    • Throttle down your CPU speed.

    • Remove external devices (SD Cards, etc)
    Turn off appropriate radios on your device:


    • Turn off Bluetooth transceiver when not in use.

    • Turn off WiFi transceiver when not in use (except when using GPS).

    • Turn off GPS receiver when not in use.

    • Turn off Cell transceiver when not in use.
    Change the way you do things with your device:

    • Minimize media playback use.
    • Minimize use of e-mail and browsing.

    • Once in a while (every few weeks), drain battery until dead, then recharge 100%
    • Keep a spare charger in your car and/or office.

    Again, these are the ways you can consume battery life and yes, some are extreme but if you're serious about conserving your phone's battery, these are some great suggestions.

    I hope this helps!
