For those who know me and my rants… recently my extended Lenovo battery died after just 3 months of service.
3 months ! Yes you hear me right…
Basically, it jumped from 100% charged to 0% and caused my operating system to panic and crash. After which it refused to startup without a external power adaptor. Orange light keeps blinking.
Then when I popped in a new battery and take a look at the Power Manager. Below is what is said:
“Enabling Long Battery Health mode allows your computer to automatically set the optimal battery charge start and stop levels based on battery usage. Doing this will increase the overall lifespan of your battery but may also result in shorter battery life”
Can Lenovo make up their mind ?!?!?
Is that utility used inadvertently suppose to make batteries die faster so that Lenovo can sell more batteries ?
I wasn’t the only one… some lucky folks’ luck ran out in 15 months. Some like me, not so lucky (part number 93P5032)…
So much for a greener Earth…
