In Windows 7 we set a threshold of 60% degradation (that is the battery is performing at 40% of its designed capacity) and in reading this Windows 7 reports the status to you. At this point, for example, a battery that originally delivered 5 hours of charge now delivers, on average, approximately 2 hours of charge. In Windows 7 the notification is a battery meter icon and notification is with a message of “Consider replacing your battery”.How to solve it?
STEP 1:
- Activate the power scheme you want to modify.
- Open CMD by selecting "Run as administrator"
- Execute “powercfg -setdcvalueindex SCHEME_CURRENT SUB_BATTERY BATACTIONCRIT 0″
- Your current power scheme will show “Battery->Critical battery action->On battery: Do nothing” despite the option being unavailable in the drop box.
STEP 2:
- Fully Charged Up the Laptop Battery to 100 % , then unplugged power cable, and I let the battery drain. Upon reaching 99 % drainage you will start to get the message … consider replacing.
- Checked Bios to confirm if there was any power was left; it had 2 % left.
- Wait 15 minutes to completely drain the laptop of any battery power and confirm that it can not be powered on.
- Remove the battery; then in this condition while the battery is out press the power button this will drain the system of any power left in the laptop.
- At this stage the laptop should be fully drained now.
- Plug in the A/C adapter cable to the laptop and wait 5 minutes. Power up the laptop.
- Under this process while charging the laptop you should not get the error message.
