    Charging issue..

    DABKXDMB8F0 , motherboard the battery voltage is fluctuating like 8.66, 8.55,8.7V
    The charging ic is BQ24780s,
    Without battery connected also there is 8v in the battery connector is it normal ?
    the SDA and SCL also fluctuating without battery connected also ..

      SMBUS lines will toggle and fluctuate as the traffic is placed on these lines. Does the motherboard power up normally and boot to the operating system? In Windows, is the battery detected?

                  That battery charge voltage will enable if pin #15 (BATPRES# is logic low = 0V). If this pin #15 = logic high then the battery charge voltage will disable.

                  Sometimes, the logic board designers will hardwire pin #15 to ground. Confirm what you have onboard.

                  Review the charger ic datasheet on the operation details.

                      Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
                      by Bowline
                      My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

                      Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

                      My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
                      The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
                      I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

                      Alienware 15 R2 Service Tag: DL7NN32 ISSUE (Battery is not charging)
                      by Simone Vergani
                      Hello everyone,

                      I'm experiencing an issue with my Alienware 15 R2 (Service Tag: DL7NN32). The laptop works perfectly when connected to the AC adapter — it powers on and functions normally. However, the battery does not charge. If I disconnect the DC adapter, the laptop shuts down immediately, as the battery is at 0%. I have replaced the battery with a new compatible one, but the issue persists. I also replaced the AC adapter with a compatible one, but the battery still doesn't charge.

                      To assist with troubleshooting, I'm attaching two power circuit schematics:

                      MacBook Air M1 A2337 battery/charging issue
                      by drlarsen
                      Hello. Sorry for the long post, but I am trying to decide if this is a simple battery replacement, or potentially something more complicated.

                      I bought an open box MacBook Air M1 2020 A2337. Seller claimed it was never used. Visually, it appears pristine.

                      On arrival, the battery was completely flat. Computer powers up and boots fine. Battery status showing 1% and charging, 1 cycle. coconutBattery showing 0 mAh and ~6 watts.
                      After some hours, the battery status did not improve. Restore via DFU did not help.

                      I connected the power adapter to a Kill-a-Watt...

                      HP ProBook 445 G8 Battery not charging
                      by Julian Bailey
                      Hi all

                      We have in a HP ProBook 445 G8 laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 CPU. When power is connected the power LED light blinks 5 times then stops. Normally HP laptops will blink this LED 10 times as it does a self test when the AC adaptor is inserted. So there must be some sort of short somewhere.

                      The battery doesn't charge, and is erratic on the MM voltage. Bench PSU LED pulsates when the battery is connected also. So the fault must be on the charging circuit?

                      I have gone around the board with a MM and cant find anything

                      Windows shows the battery fine,...

                      Laptop battery charging circuit
                      by piernov
                      1. Some theory
                      1.1. Introduction
                      Almost every laptop has a charging circuit of some sort, that does a few things:
                      • Manages switching between AC adapter and battery power
                      • Manages battery charging and generates power rail to charge battery


                      There are 2 different designs to handle switching between AC adapter and battery power and feeding the system:
                      • Hybrid power boost (HPB) and traditional circuits without power boost (see Warning in HPB section)
                      • Narrow VDC (NVDC)

                      Texas instrument has a nice overview of these technologies with some more details at https:...
