Hi all,
Just though I would post here and get some comments suggestions.
I noticed some odd behaviour out of the battery in my 9750 recently. I unplugged it from the AC adapter and noticed it shutdown immediately. Plugged it back in and powered it back on. Noticed there was zero battery power.
It didnt appear to be charging so I removed and reseated it. That worked and it began to charge again. It was very slow though.... taking about 2 mins for 1% battery near the end (Not sure if this is normal or not)
I figured I would plug it out and run on battery for awhile to see if there was anything funky going on. Was running away fine.... got to about 50% and then suddenly dropped to 6% and low battery alarm started sounding.
I plugged it back in and it began charging again. It charged to 100% yet still said it was charging. After an hour or two this went away and it registered as 100% charged and running on AC. Powered it down for the night. Booted back up in the morning at the situation was the same... great I thought... seems ok.
I was working away and it randomly decided to start charging again despite saying it was at 100%. The icon was flicking back and forth between charging and not charging every so often. Unplugged it and ran on battery agaiin.... it hit around 65% and dropped to 6% or so again.
I plugged it back in and it has been plugged in since but refuses to charge to anything over 79%...... I doubt its actually 79% charged though.
The battery is only just a year old. I do use my laptop on AC the vast majority of the time though so I figure ive just worn it out that way. Its no big deal really as I run on AC most of the time anyway and the battery still gives me around an hour. What im wondering is, as it seems to be charging constantly is it dangerous.... i.e. could the battery overload?
Also considering its only charing to a certain point... could one of the cells be gone? Shoud I remove it?
