Tips to handle notification of ‘’consider replacing your battery’’ on windows 7

There are many options that the operating system can be applied in our laptops, such as windows 7, windows XP, windows vista, etc.. If we use the windows 7 operating system, sooner or later we'll get a notification ‘’Consider Replacing your battery’’ is accompanied by the emergence of the red cross mark on the battery icon in system tray, this notification appears when windows 7 laptop battery we assume damaged.
As seen in this view:

 This notification will appear when Windows 7 has detected our laptop battery capacity has been reduced by 60% of capacity should be, and  it should be replaced. But already many reports from users who claim that Windows 7 is sometimes wrong in detecting capacity laptop battery. Once there was a user who had already replaced the battery with a new laptop but still get this notification. Laptop batteries are expensive. So long as it can be used well and still able to survive 30 minutes (although 40% had less than ideal capacity), then no need to rush to replace them with new ones.


Here simple tips to eliminate these annoying notifications, including:
  • Charge the battery up to full (99% - 100%), after that we turn off the laptop. Until this stage do not always unplug the adapter it.
  • Turn the laptop back to us and then press F8 repeatedly until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears. Choose Safe Mode.
  • Allow the laptop to turn itself off (battery is completely discharged). During this process it is advisable not to operate the laptop. Leave it until the laptop turns itself off.
  • After turn off, replace the adapter, then restart the laptop normally. And the result ... all back to normal! Notification "Consider Replacing your battery" and red cross signs on the battery icon does not appear anymore.
 

The above technique is primarily a way to calibrate the capacity of our laptop battery. By running the laptop from the initial conditions of a full battery (capacity 100%) until it is completely empty (0% capacity), then Windows 7 so it "knows" the true capacity (real capacity) of laptop batteries, and automatically reset parameter settings to -parameters related to the laptop battery.

may be useful, thank you…
