Battery z575?

[cioraneanuf]

Hi,

I have an Lenovo IdeaPad Laptop with AMD Z575GM A6-3400m 1.40GHz, 4GB, 500GB, AMD Radeon HD 6520, FreeDOS, Gray, I don't know how long the battery should last, in the tehnical specification from where I have bought said "up to 5 hours". I have fully charded, fully discharged it first time (by hand I have just found there is something like that in the power management software)  I have the maximum time of 2hourss.42 minute on battery on SuperEnergySaver(display light on min, and ....) on web browsing mostly some youtube but mostly web browsing.   Is this normal?

Hi cioraneanuf

Enabling CPU Power Management would extend battery life (if it is not enabled), and the more tab or web browsing or background service you use, the less the battery would last. You could try to use just with one tab and the maximum time would be longer.

I guess the maximum time should be around 3h+

It also depends on how long have your battery been used as the full charge capacity will degrade from time to time and the system configuration.

Have a nice day!
