LeGiTzZNL Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Goodday people, I have just received my lenovo Y500 back of the lenovo repair service, This is because there is an error with the energy management of Lenovo itself if you open it up you can actaully calabrate your battery but the moment you do that it will actually destroy the motherboard what will cause the battery not too charge anymore Whatever you do do not hit the Start Button, it will uncharge your battery to 0% and after that it won't recharge again.. This may be a problem with only my lenovo y500 i5 Processor, but i just want to warn all you people out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiTee Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I had a similar problem than you, when I used the battery profile "Optimized Battery Health", the battery charged to 60%, which is normal, but, when I switched it back to "Maximum Battery Life", it didn't get back to normal, the battery wouldn't charge anymore than 60%. But, I think it was a software malfunction, it came back when I did a fresh install on the computer and that I updated the BIOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEROleafSK8ER Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I had the same problem too. I looked it up onine and managaed to fix it. I had to go into device management and uninstall the batter driver or something like that, as well as take out battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsan1129 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I had a lot of problems with the energy management program as well until I did a clean reinstall of Windows 8 (not a recovery, used a retail disc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninpawz Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I have a different version of the problem. After I did the battery gauge reset, the battery discharged to about 3% and then charged again. But now the laptop keeps connecting and disconnecting the ac adapter. Its impossible to play games anymore as the laptop keeps alternating between ac and battery every 5 seconds and this is rendering my 650 sli config useless.

ninpawz Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 @ZEROleafSK8ER: Could you tell what you did to get rid of the problem or maybe post a link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almir Had Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 try this version http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/em10149.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninpawz Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 @Almir: Thanks. Your version looks good and has more options. It didn't help me though. The problem persists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninpawz Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 After experimenting around a bit I found out that if the battery level is below 60%, the optimal battery heath option works and the battery gets charged to 60% and remains at that level. If however the battery level is above 60% and the optimum battery health option is chosen, then the computer keeps disconnecting and reconnecting the ac adapter every 5 sec. Its a weird problem and I've decided to live with it (and keep battery mode to max battery life). Have to draw the line at optimizing someplace.

Sopey Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I can't fix this problem no matter what I try. Does a fresh restore of windows have any affect on the bios that might help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
