IBM AC power adapter type cannot be determined

The “IBM AC power adapter type cannot be determined” problem description

I have brand new IBM FRU 92P1139 Battery.


Battery fully charged, when I unplug the charger from the wall, but let the plug in the Inspiron for a while (let’s say a night), when I startup my computer, I get the message “The AC power adapter type cannot be determined. Your system will operate slower and the battery will not charge. Please connect a Dell 90W AC adapter or higher for best system operation” (needless to say that the power adapter IS a Dell 90W…).

Unplugging and replugging the adapter solves the problem.


The problem happens frequently at IBM FRU 92P1141 Battery, IBM FRU 92P1137 Battery, IBM 02K6651 Battery and so on.

Simple introduce about IBM ThinkPad A20M Battery

First post by: www.itbattery.com

As far as we know, IBM ThinkPad A20M Battery like so much of the ibm range, has upped the memory to 2GB from the two 512MB modules of DDR 2 SDRAM featured in our version. It’s pretty light and portable and offers high performance and great media options (like the IBM ThinkPad A21M Battery). Basically, you get the best of both worlds, at a reasonable price.

Dell IBM ThinkPad R60 Battery Specs :

• Intel Core Duo T2400 / 5 Mb Cache / 1.83 GHz / 667 MHZ FSB
  
• 15.4″ Wide-screen XGA Display with Truelife
  
• 120 Gb 5400 rpm Sata Hard Drive
  
• 1 Gb DDR2 SDRAM / 553 MHZ
  
• 256 Mb ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 Hyper memory
  
• Windows XP Media Center
  
• 9 - Cell Battery

The Dell Inspiron 6400 is 36×27x4cm and weights a tad under 3kilos. It has a 15.4inch screen with display resolution of 1680×1050 that I am told is WSXGA+. The fonts looked a little strange but were very readable. Displaying folders gave the icons a rather larger separation but this was just a difference and not a problem.

The Intel Wireless card (Intel Pro Wireless) is very good using my standards. Dropped connections were limited and it was easy to use. You can easily shut it off when you are not using it by pressing Fn + F2. For this card, you can use the software Intel provides or the one Windows has, Windows Zero. I personally prefer Zero because it’s easier to use.


IBM ThinkPad T60 Battery life is very respectable. I wasn’t expecting much and I almost ordered an extra to go with it. Under normal tasks (WiFi on, 75% brightness, Windows Media Visualizations), the battery lasted about 3 hours and 15 minutes. With WiFi off, and playing games with low brightness, I was able to get about 3 hours and 34 minutes. I bet that you can squeeze 4 hours if you really wanted. It also can fit for IBM 40Y6797 Battery.


Regardless, the 6400 will likely stay on your desk for most of its existence. Its 2.8kg heft is far from feather-weight, and you’ll definitely start grumbling after walking with it for 20 minutes or more. It’s fine for shorter distances, but true mobility can only be found in a sub-2kg offering such as the IBM 40Y6799 Battery.

This battery gives me 3 hours of power which my other one only gave me 2. But It’s too expensive.

Allows me an additional 2.5 hours of use. Must be swapped with computer turned off .Cost a lot of $$$$$$$. I was told original battery would last 6 hours and it only lasts 2.5 hours as does this one.

Should be able to have 2 batteries connected at same time or a battery to computer power cable so that I don’t have to turn off the computer when using second battery.

Would be nice to piggy back them so you did not have to turn off computer to change, also a charging station for the spare would be handy.

Dell is notorious for these types of games

First post by: www.itbattery.com

The excuse IBM Laptop Battery gives for disabling the computer in this way, that the computer has to “adjust the performance to match the power available”, is a joke. How does the computer know how much power is available if it can’t identify the adapter? Why does running my (IBM 92P1073 Battery) computer at half speed somehow ensure that I will have enough power available, regardless of what adapter I might be using? If Dell really did have the customers’ interests in mind when creating this “functionality”, they would have provided a way to override it in the BIOS for those who know they have a powerful enough adapter. Clearly, this is simply a way to force people to replace lost or worn adapters (which typically are not under warranty) only from Dell.


Dell is notorious for these types of games. While researching this problem, I came across one case in which their desktop computers came with power supplies that looked identical to industry-standard ATX power supplies. However, if you attempted to use the power supply with a replacement motherboard that was not from Dell, it would destroy your computer. (see the wikipedia article on the ATX standard, where there is a section devoted to IBM 08K8199 Battery)


I was shocked to read one post in this forum in which someone describes having the same problem on their brand new IBM 08K8198 Battery. I had this issue on my IBM 08K8197 Battery, IBM 92P1075 Battery about four years ago. It’s one thing for Dell to try to lock people into using only Dell adapters, but continuing to do it after so many years of knowing all the unintended grief it causes for customers makes me never want to buy a Dell again. I just canceled my order for an XPS1530 after reading Matias’s post.

The maintenance of UPS batteries

   
UPS batteries of all available capacity and the actual Apple A1078 Battery discharge current size, the working environment of the battery temperature, the length of storage and load characteristics (resistance, inductive and capacitive) are closely related. If not the proper use of UPS, will often cause the actual available Apple A1148 Battery capacity is much smaller than a nominal rated capacity. For this reason, users in the use of batteries to note the following points: 1. Batteries and battery discharge over a long period of idle do not have to pave the way, will make a lot of internal battery lead sulphate and Apple M6091 Battery adsorption to the battery cathode, the formation of the so-called cathode "Kraft", resulting in increased internal resistance of the Apple Laptop Battery Charging and discharging performance can be affected. The M-type commonly used sealed lead-acid battery life of about three to five years. 2. For most of UPS, when the battery after each discharge, can make use of internal charging circuit for Fu Chong. To ensure the re-placed saturation rechargeable batteries, and generally require the charging time of 10 to 12 hours. Charging a lack of time in a rechargeable battery will not fully state so that the actual availability of the battery capacity far below the nominal capacity. In electricity voltage less than 200 V, part of UPS can not use the internal rechargeable battery circuit on a charge of the saturation. 3. To ensure a good Apple A1185 Battery charge and discharge characteristics, not long-term idle of the UPS power supply (UPS power supply stands more than 10 days), in use before the re-boot, not a good idea to increase load, UPS power supply for use in the battery charging circuit floating Filling 10 to 12 hours after their use. - UPS for the use of reserve power users, if the UPS power backup in long-term work of state, proposed every month, UPS power inverter.

A trouble of hp laptop battery

Question:Allright I just bought a laptop from Circuit City. It's an Acer BTP-44A3 Battery Notebook. Pretty new, it came right off the shelf. One problem I'm seeing is that I charged the brand new battery and the little lightning bolt charge light went off, so I assumed it was finished charging. And when I loaded it up and checked the Acer BTP-550P Battery icon in the system tray, it was at 96% which was good enough for me. But I used it for probably a total of 15 minutes and the battery was around 80% already. Is that normal for Acer BTP-73E1 Battery or did I not charge it properly?

Answer:Depends how you use the laptop. I use mine at home, never take it out, and for that I just keep the AC plugged in and take the battery out (after discharging theAcer BATCL50L Battery completely). If I need to take the computer somewhere, I just re-charge the battery.



Anyway, yes, it's normal for the battery to discharge a little every time you turn the thing on and off. TheAcer TravelMate 290 Battery icon will show for a while and then go away and it will show the AC. You can also make sure that the thing uses AC instead of battery (if you keep the battery always in the computer) even when you're using AC, by specifying AV power only (I can't remember where I once set this on my HP laptop).
