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 am using Lenovo T430 with WIN7 OS and got the same warring "consider replacing your battery".

    I solved the issue by completely consuming the battery (with no charger attached), then just plugged in the charger and turned ON the laptop. The warning was not appearing any more.

    Just remember to double check whether the battery is fully consumed by Turing ON the laptop without attaching the charger.

    I also have the same problem with my Neo Notebook, which was purchased 3 years ago. I don't know if it is with my battery or it's just the error from Windows.

    Can someone help me? I'm really bothered.

    Shall I buy a new battery, or shall I do some tweaking or whatever?

    In terms of proper care, I do let my battery drain once a month. Currently this year, I had it drained usually twice a week but not frequently due to my projects in school. This issue just started this Monday (March 24).

    Just select the file, drag it to your desktop and open.

    The file doesn't have to reside in system 32 and is not showing in your browser because you are trying to open a protected system file through a browser.

    The file will work fine if you move it to desktop (whih is not a protected system file) and then double click it as normal.
