Greetings Phuong Linh, the recent phenomenon of installing BatteryCare on a new laptop resulting in a 33.3% battery depletion indication is not a worrisome occurrence if you understand its essence.
In reality, laptop batteries are composed of battery cells, typically ranging from 2 to 12 cells depending on the size and model of the laptop. For your Lenovo IdeaPad 100-15IBY model, which falls in the price range of 4 to 7 million VND with budget specifications, it is equipped with a 4-cell battery (24Wh), providing a battery life of 2-3 hours. However, the case of BatteryCare indicating a 33.3% depleted battery could be due to the discrepancy between the programmed number of battery cells in the factory and the actual number of battery cells in the laptop.
To make it easier to understand, let's illustrate with an example: A 6-cell battery typically has an average capacity of around 60,000 mWh. That's the capacity at production. However, there are instances where batteries are programmed in the factory as 8-12 cells, but in reality, they only have 6 cells. Therefore, the designed capacity mentioned in BatteryCare, for instance, 88,000 mWh, is higher than the actual capacity of 60,000 mWh. This leads to the software displaying a battery depletion level of 31.8%.
Finally, if your battery is newly used, there is no need to worry because this could be a misunderstanding of the software with the actual battery capacity of the laptop, or it could be a manufacturer's error.
Mytour has provided quite detailed guidance on the causes leading to the discrepancy in battery capacity on the Lenovo IdeaPad 100-15IBY laptop. You can still use BatteryCare with confidence to check your laptop battery health.
BatteryCare is a useful laptop battery management software due to its ability to display almost all battery parameters, enabling users to have a better understanding of the battery to timely implement reasonable laptop battery saving solutions. In addition to BatteryCare, users can also experience other software such as Smart Battery or Battery Doubler to check laptop battery depletion. Smart Battery software is highly regarded for its professional battery monitoring and management capabilities. While Battery Doubler is chosen by many for its deeper system customization.
So before switching to another battery management software, you need to uninstall BatteryCare from your computer to avoid potential conflicts between different laptop battery checking software.
Additionally, if you are using an iPhone, remember to check the iPhone battery for a better understanding of its usage. Checking the iPhone battery depletion will inform you of the number of times the iPhone has been charged ...
