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..

    what utter nonsense.  HP Laptops did have an issue with the mother board not making a connection, but the equivalent of standing on one leg tilting the laptop to the east is just silly.

    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)

    I know this is old post,but today i started to feel some issues with my battery,i never had this issue before,so last night i used my laptop HP 625 without charger and my laptop then shutdown when the battery drained out,but i didn't wait for my laptop to turn off by it self i pressed and holed the power button and force it to shutdown faster,mistake...So today when i put the charger on and started the laptop on notification bar it gave me and red X...so i started surfing for solution,and at the end i got here on your comment.And i started command prompt on desktop "leftshift"+"right click on mouse" and "open command prompt here" and entered " POWERCFG -ENERGY " and left it for one minute to scan it created the log file on desktop,and the x is gone...Thank you!
