jcarle Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Your battery probably simply doesn't report it's capacity with enough accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djseppie Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I had the same problem, but Vista did fix it with automatic updates. I don't know for sure which update it was, but they were able to solve it. My notebook is a HP NC6000Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacesurfer Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 This happens to me on WinXP but I have an old Dell Latitude Laptop. I think my battery isn't as young as it used to be. It goes from 100% to < 10% in less than 30 mins sometimes. I have to keep it plugged in at all times. I don't think it's winxp, it's just an old battery that I have.

When she got her new battery she stopped having problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
