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..

    Dear KshamaFegade,

    I have tried my level best to write down the solution steps so that anyone can follow it but if u still can't do it on your own, then grab a friend's assistance who is likely to be having sound knowledge of operating system.

    Ignoring the problem will result in displaying warning messages of CONSIDER REPLACING BATTERY whereas it is itself a very annoying issue. On the other part, your laptop will act accordingly with that percentage meaning that it will turn off or hibernate or put it on sleep on the percentage of last full charge. You can see that following those steps have addressed many people issue so you might be lucky if this solution solved your issue too....

    Dear Valio,

    Before type the power cfg command in command prompt, type this

    d:

    then it will change the directory to D Drive where it will save the energy report for viewing.

    Dear Joe,

    when the report is created, then you have to go through explorer into the same directory address as stated in command prompt i.e. c:/windows/system32/energy-report.html.

    It if doesn't help then change the directory before typing in power cfg command by typing d: OR e: (Whichever drive u want to). then it will generate report in the same drive for more details.
