XPS M1210 battery issues ... It would not be a bad idea to recalibrate your battery, if you have such option within the BIOS setup menu. Batteries can always ...

I've had my M1210 for about 2-3 years now and the battery was replaced by dell about maybe 1-2 years ago. Recently I've noticed that when I run my computer off the battery, I seem to get a much shorter battery lifespan than usual. I'm not running anything particuarly intensive or setting my screen brightness anymore than I have been before. Before my battery dies and my laptop goes into hibernation, I don't even get the orange battery indicator stobe like I did before.

Someone told me that maybe my battery would need to be recalibrated which I can supposedly do myself...anyone got any insight into this?

Thanks,
Brandon

It would not be a bad idea to recalibrate your battery, if you have such option within the BIOS setup menu.

Batteries can always go bad at any time, 1-2 years is the norm of their life.

cheers ...
