OK:
Everyone here knows the other thread that I have and knows what the Lenovo Tech has told me, That being said.
While I;ve been told about the battery charge being kept at around 98 to 100% and the tablet/charger throttling it so to speak as to not overcharge it.
And while the Tech told me it was because of the battery getting to warm It was shutting off charging until the battery itself cooled down, Alll of this made since to me.
BUT here is something that doesn't make since to me and maybe someone here could explain it to me?
I HOPE!!!
OK here goes.
During one of it's shutdown cycles I went into the battery monitoring program that I have to check a setting and when happened to go into the info page where it gives your charging status/battery health it said in Big RED Letters FAILURE!!!!!!
But according to the indicator in the task bar it still showed the Lighting Bolt and I check by clicking on the Taskbar and it said 98% charging.
I went back into the program and it said FAILURE so I went and downloaded another program from Google Play just to see if mine may have been messing up and it said the same thing Unspecified Failure.
OK so to see if the Battery was BORKED I unplugged it while in my program and it popped up GOOD?
So I thought maybe it was the charger.
I put on another Power Adapter that I had and it started going between Failure & Good approx every 10 or so seconds.
As the battery cooled it went back to being GOOD Steady and finally went to 100% charged battery FULL.
So I went and played another game for awhile and backed out and everything was still cool by this time, so I went back and played another game for a bit and backed back out of it and checked it again and it said FAILURE!!!!!
It happened at a battery temp of 96-99 degrees F.
And stabilizes and goes back to being GOOD once it hits around 92 degrees F.
My question is this is this in anyway normal?
Or does it make any since to you all?
I'm asking you because I know you all have had expirence with these Bad Boys.
And I don't want to get into contacting Tech Support again if I don't have to/Or calling newegg for a replacement.
In someways from what I've been told by you guys as well Tech Support it makes since.
BUT I've not ever had this happen on any of my other machines
I know that the battery isn't bad because it would die instantly once I unplugged it and it wouldn't charge at all while either on or off.
And while it is saying FAILURE both programs as well as the taskbar still recognizes that AC is still hooked up to it.
PLEASE Help me make since of this.....
I have VERY LITTLE HAIR LEFT !!!
Thanks again and Sorry for bothering you all again: Ricky
