Asus Laptop....DEAD.

[Harrison]

So the main battery is to blaim, which is a common fault on all laptops. An old trick that I don't know if it works any more with modern laptop batteries was to put the battery in the freezer for a couple of hours. Seal it into a plastic bag and then stick it in the deep freeze.

I often used to work and get dead batteries working again. Something to do with correcting the chemical imbalance within the battery and returning it to normal. Worth a try if the battery is dead anyway.

I did read about that harrison a few years ago and tried it with a couple of laptop batteries. Can't really remember whether it worked or not, but I think it was for NiMH batteries only and that it would either not work or damage lithium batteries. I will have to check that out.

I have a dead battery for one of my laptops, and I got another one, which unfortunately isn't working 100%. Ok, it's always better than the old one, but still, it only loads until 80% and decreases very fast.

I put the old one in the freezer yesterday to do a test have to remind me to take it out though.

The thing is, the battery still holds its charge ok, it doesnt die straight away?

That means nothing. Batteries can die at any point in their life. If it is less than a year old it is still covered under warranty so you can get a free replacement.
