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 Acer laptop 4920 win7 but My laptop battery is good with win xp
I finally resolved this issue.
Dear users, who ever is facing the "Consider Replacing Battery" Issue in windows 7, read it out .1st of all, run the command prompt with administrator privileges and in command prompt, change the destination path to C:\ and then type POWERCFG -ENERGY. It will scan ur battery status and after 1 minute, it will generate a report which will be saved in the same destination in which the command had been performedi.e C:. Open the energy report and check the battery's designed capacity and the last full charge. There will be a difference in both values as well as in the red columns (which are the warnings)it will be saying that battery has been charged below 40%. Note the last full charge reading and then perform the below given steps...this was mine figures: -
Battery:Battery Information
| Battery ID | SANYO GC86508SAT0 |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | SANYO |
| Serial Number | |
| Chemistry | Lion |
| Long Term | 1 |
| Design Capacity | 44400 |
| Last Full Charge | 30470 (it was at 11780, now see the difference by yourself) |
charge the battery completely, after that, start using laptop on battery and unplug the charger. Use the laptop until it automatically shut down itself. When it gets shutdown, On it again without plugging the charger and start using the laptop until and unless the battery is totally emptied. Then plug in the charger and start charging battery, again perform the same steps, after that, run the POWERCFG -ENERGY and check the last full charge reading. Perform these steps until ur last full charge crosses the 40% of the design capacity. still facing problem, then contact me on*** Email address is removed for privacy ***, cell # +(removed).
it really worked! anyone who have this error "consider replacing your battery" try this:
use your laptop without charging until the pc shut down itself because the battery is totally empty
now dont charge your laptop yet. try to switch on your laptop. if it doesnt start means that your laptop battery is totally empty.
after that you can charge your laptop.start you laptop and see if the error still exists. i did this and up to here i dont see anymore of the error "consider replacing your battery" on the taskbar battery icon.
when your battery is 100% charged, stop charging your laptop. use your laptop until the battery is totally empty and then the laptop will shut down itself when the battery is empty.
Dear All Users,
Try those steps which i had written below as it is my personal experience. Wish you best of luck!
Warm Regards
