8886 battery issues

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Boy, I'm glad my 8886 is still under warranty. Sager did pretty well fixing the screen issue, though now I still can't get winows to recognize my PCMCIA hard drive.... I think I may need to do a repair.

Anyway, my battery runs down to about 60% normally and then immediately drops off and my Sager hibernates. When I turn it back one w/ the battery plugged in, it says I have 3% remaining. So it's about 45 min to go from 99% to 60%, then about 2 minutes to go to 3% and hibernate.

Is there anything I need to consider before I RMA my battery and just be thankful that it happened now and not a few months later...?

That definitely sounds like battery burnout with a couple of cells dead. I've seen it happen several times, fortunately not to my batteries. There's no cure that I know of.

Send it in and rejoice you're still on warranty.
