I have Acer Aspire 7515z. I using windows 7 RTM. Now it is showing a cross icon on battery saying that "Consider replacing your battery" as my battery is giving the same performance. I disabled the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Battery Method, it vanished the icon but didn't extended my battery's life. I re-installed windows but same issue is occuring. Help me to sort out this issue. thanks

Can't even find a 7515z in the Acer list!!
It could be that the battery in the laptop is not in good condition and Windows is telling you this, so do NOT turn off the warnings..
Take a look here..

I have the same issue with my Toshiba laptop. My laptop battery was in good shape, then within two weeks of installing Windows 7 it was dead.
It appears to be an issue with Acer, Toshiba and some HP laptops and Windows 7. The answer back to everyone is replace your battery, but from the research I done for the last two weeks the issue is Windows 7 not our machines.
