Medion Erazer P6689 battery 95% available (plugged in, not charging)

[sweetpoison]

Hi,

I have this laptop for about a week and I notice something beyond stupidity. BETTERY IS NOT CHARGING sometimes.

To begin with, I noticeed an app called from Fn+F4 which was suppose to be a power management. There I've found the most stupid option ever regarding the battery charging system: start charging if level is lowr than 20% and stop if is above 65%.

Guys, this is STUPID. 

Anyway, after uninstalling the driver Pegars PHotkey the battery started to charge as intended from 90% to 100%. Until today when I started the laptop and the battery was 98% again plugged in, not charging.

So, despite the fact that the battery is ridiculous small in size, to stay on AC power and the battery level 30% not charging it's way to stupid.

I mean there are a lot of stupid things done on this laptop model but at least help me to fix this one.

Oh, while writign this I had removed the power cord and under control panel => power management I did a "restore default" and now it's back on charging after plugged in. 

Thanks

Hi @sweetpoison 

STUPID !!!

A constant charge of between 30 and 70 percent increases the life of Li-ion batteries.

Not too full charge: In general, permanently high charge levels are detrimental to a lithium-ion battery

Hello again,

Thanks for reply Fishtown. It doesn't help at all but thanks for info. Call it superstition but in  more than 15 years the only batteries Li-ION I've damage were those who's got to 0% and I always keep them full when I get the chance of charging even if it is to charge them from 98% to 100%.

Anyway, I've figured out what was wrong to begin with. The charging relay triggers at lower than 95% battery level and turns off at 100% hence the meaning of original post.

Still, uninstalling HKey program was a good call for more than 1 reason and I won't install it back unless an updated version will be avaiable.

Overall this thead can be closed.

Cheers

Hi @sweetpoison 

to correct that,

I already know what I write the "stupid" has 3 exclamation points and was in no case related to your person.

I did not want that impression, I'm sorry.

 It should be a questioning of your statement regarding power management. you have written:

"There I've found the most stupid option"

thats all
