How To: Recalibrate your laptop battery

If your laptop battery's life has gotten shorter over time, one thing you might want to try is recalibrating it by:

...firstly turning off your screensaver and other power management settings that put the computer to sleep. Then fully charge your laptop battery to 100% before letting it discharge down to 0% allowing your laptop to shut down automatically.

Once the battery has fully discharged, you need to charge it back up to 100% again after which you may restore your screensaver and power management settings.

If calibration doesn't help your battery, it's most likely time to purchase another one. Try looking at your manufacturers website as they might have a specific solution for your model type. Otherwise I recommend purchasing an original battery from your manufacturers store as they will usually provide you with a better product and longer warranty.
