I had my cousin ring me tonight ,I keep her 1 year old laptop running I have just had her ring me with a problem she just had an error pop up saying "battery fully charged please consider replacing the battery"

This had me stumped s i went investigating.. it seems that laptops of all makes and models are having thier batteries killed by Windows 7 I kid you not,  Now I run a lenovo y410 laptop with win 7 and  have not had this problem, so after some further investigating, it seems that if your lappie is set to hibernate when the battery is low some thing screws up the battery and they are dying all over.  Now I said I do not have that problem I have all my power functions set to sleep only.. so go figure.

There is a closed forum on social.technet that went for a year and nothing was done except one post from the owner of the forum who said it was our batteries and that win 7 dont kill batteries , that went down like a lead balloon. (bloody microshil)  Then someone noticed the one constant apart from the OS it was all computers seem to have  been hibernating.  I would post a link but i am too new and anyhow you all know how to use google



Cheers
