Hey everyone.Had my NC10 for just over 1 month. Really happy with it, but………………
Is there any reason why it wont charge to 100% on the battery meter? It used to charge to 100% when i first purchased, then i would unplug it and run on batt until windows told me to charge, simple.
Now, it will only charge to 97% on the battery meter, 98% if im lucky.
Things like this really bug me! Can anybody help with this?

I don’t get it… The battery wear should indicate how much of the battery has been completely used out and is no longer available for normal operation… the more I use the battery, the battery wear will increase, right?I bought my NC10 on the 10th of December 2008. From that time I use my laptop on battery daily for 4-5 hours (without weekends :-))
The battery is by then discharged to ~35%, I never discharged it completely…. and after all this the BattStat shows 1% wear, like on the day I bought it. How’s that possible?

I just started using my NC10SE yesterday, and after installing Battery Bar it already stated 6.8% wearing O_o even after finding out the math is based on designed capacity rather the amount stated ON the battery and took that into account, my wearing is still 4.8%…….
4.8% ON THE FIRST DAY!!!specs
designed cap: 6027mAh
cap stated on battery: 5900mAh
full-charged cap: 5618mAh
[/quote1239391994]It looks like your full charge capacity is almost the same as the standard NC10 battery. Maybe the extended capacity in the SE is only ‘temporary’, the battery is not as durable as the standard one and it offers longer run times only for a short period of time.
I’m starting to have second thoughts about buying the 9-cell battery…[quote1239469225=shawzy]

I think I remember someone else having this problem.It is likely to be caused by the battery calibration being out by a bit, it may help if you go into the BIOS and choose to do a “Smart Battery Calibration”, it’s in the Boot tab.

Obviously not!!
[/quote1239381185]Yes, I was going to mention calibration too. I haven’t paid too much attention to this thread but I imagine as capacity is reduced through the battery’s lifespan the max charge it can hold comes down. I don’t know if the meter takes this into account or not but I can see how it might start at the wrong point.
Hi,
How do you use Smart Battery Calibration?
After fully discharging by itself, what should happen next?Just checked my battery wear with everest corporate edition showing 5% wear, NC10 is 6 months old, have yet to run battery calibration in bios.
