laptop battery

[Rottie]

I finally forced myself buying new high capicaty battery (14 volt) it works great...but I noticed if I unplug dc power and battery is not in use (battery still inside on the laptop but not turn on) the battery dried up all day when in use. Why? bad battery? I hope not.

Did you fully charge battery when you got it? There's a battery icon that should give you charge capacity when you're charging. If its doesn't fully charge, then RMA it.

yeah I did charge battery when I bought it like I said before it works great....full 100% on battery when I don't use DC power for a hour.

anyone?

Dude, I don't understand what you are saying.

You fully charge the battery so it shows 100%, that I get.

Are you saying that running the laptop for 1 hour without the DC plugged in that the battery runs down? If so it isn't really getting a full charge or its a bad battery.

If a fully charged battery discharges itself within 24 hrs when the system is turned off and not in use....its defective!!

are you sure its not on some low power saving mode but actually still on?

I got cheap laptop battery from Boss System USA but you might want to google for the lowest best possible price.
