    HP elitebook Folio 1040 G2

    Background history:-
    Got the above mentioned laptop in as it was claimed it was not charging. Run a couple of checks. When in windows battery app stated no battery connected.
    Charge light by the DC socket did not illuminate. When tested with a meter on the battery connector, with the DC in shows 12.684v to the battery. In the green wire 3.344v and on the yellow 3.366v.
    Disconnect the DC and battery showed no voltage at all.
    So, new battery sourced put in and LED by DC skt illuminated and windows reports battery there and charging. Sent laptop away with the customer.
    Next day, he calls me saying the battery is not charging.
    Gets it back in, plug in the adapter and it starts to charge. Power on into Windows. Unplug the adapter when the battery is at 10% and laptop powers off. Connect the charger, boot to windows, battery meter shows charging.... 1hr 40 mins odd to full charge. Left it on the side for a couple of hours, went to 100% charge, disconnect the adapter, laptop powers straight off. When the adapter is reconnected says battery is at 2%. I kept an eye on it this time and when it reaches 25% it jumps straight to 100%... so effectivly about 20 mins for it to register full charge. Disconnect the adapter, powers off, reconnect adapter battery shows 2% in windows. I suspected the battery again, put in another new battery and the same cycle continues. If I disconnect the battery and measure the voltage direct from it, I get a reading of 11.85v, connected to the board, 11.85v.

    So, questions are:-
    Why would the battery charge to 25% and then go immediatly to 100% but not power the laptop up without the adapter?

    Has anyone got any idea on where or what I should be looking to solve this issue? I suspect a diode but I have no schematics to refer to, so a little lost.


    Thanks in advance

        Vostro 3400 (LA-K033P) won't charge battery, everything else ok
        by techfreak9356
        I bought a Vostro 3400 motherboard (LA-K033P) to upgrade over my damaged Inspiron 5593 (LA-J091P) board. Everything else is ok except for the battery. This battery I am using now is already a replacement one since I disposed of the bloated original one. Back in the Inspiron 5593 motherboard, the battery charges fine and is identified just fine. However, with the upgraded motherboard, suddenly the replacement battery is labeled as "Not a dell battery". When I borrow a similar battery from my colleague (which did not have replacements yet), it is identified and charges just fine.

        How can I charge that battery pack?
        by razenxd
        Hello,
        it's not a laptop/desktop related question but I figured that someone here will have the right knowledge.
        At work we use a few Aldebaran(now Softbank/United Robotics group) Nao Robots which they use some custom 6S li-on battery packs.
        Nao robots tends to draw from the battery even if they are shut down, and the BMS tends to be a little aggresive, if the pack stays on a turned off robot for 3 months it's gonna lock and will refuse to charge.

        Now, I have noticed a few things.
        The "dead" battery, while connected to charger and NOT Charging will...

        Acer a515-43 low battery charge voltage
        by ruletero
        Hi

        Acer A515-43
        LA-H801P

        Fail: Does not charge battery, has low voltaje on connector.

        Laptop didn't want to turn on, only charge led blinked.

        I found PQB5 (mosfet high battery charger) in short, voltaje in +12.6V_BATT was 19 v ...

        I changed it, changed PQB6 too and now battery charger voltage is 4.4V but battery is 3 cell, 11.25v, then is very low to charging.

        Laptop turns on without battery and works fine, but with battery turns on and turns off inmediately, I suspect battery bad but I don't know...
