No Battery Is Detected Vista Hp G60

Hi,

Vista

Check with System maker's Support, their on-line documentation and drivers, and their forums
(if any) for known issues. Some maker's have issued BIOS and other updates to help with battery
problems.


Control Panel - Power Options - Power Plans - Change plan Settings - check the Advanced
Settings for drain and usage settings (this is how much to be used and not how much or how
long to charge).

Actually what causes a lot of wear on a battery is draining it too low repeatedly. With today's
systems over-charging is not an issue.
Here are some tips to help and troubleshoot battery related issues.

Old battery? Unplug power to computer - remove battery and clean the contacts with a pencil
eraser (do not use this if your battery has thin slots - just clean the knife edges that fit into
them and be careful). Batteries do wear out if old, or it could be a problem with the computer.
Check with the support of the system maker and many of them have on line forums.

Newer type Litium-Ion batteries usually last longer if you do not discharge then below 30%
however on a laptop that will not extend their life that much. Best is to use A/C adapter
whenever possible.

proprietary software to monitor the battery and their could be known issues with your battery.
