http://askubuntu.com – I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 and I have Ubuntu 11.10, and in my dell laptop it allow me to discharge the battery when I am using the power cable and that helps in the life of the battery, and I used to do that in Windows. The shortcut to activate it is (FN) + (F3) but when I use it in Ubuntu it shows: AC adapter laptop battery processor and nothing helps in what I am looking for. What can I do ? (HowTos)

Hello.

I am trying to fix a friend's laptop, which will rapidly discharge if not plugged in. When plugged in, it will remain at 2% battery life, and will not charge or discharge. This is incredibly inconvenient, and I am not sure, after having looked around for a fair time, I am not sure what to do. If the adapter is unplugged and re-inserted, the following message appears:

DELL Latitude E5530 Laptop Battery Tips : Do not short-circuit . A short-circuit may cause severe damage to your laptop battery. Store it in a cool and dry place (The suitable temperature is about 15°C). Before storage, you should confirm your DELL Latitude E5530 battery is not fully depleted.

I have a bluetooth mouse connected to my laptop.

Much to my delight (I posted the suggestion!) the mouses battery is now displayed along side the laptop's battery.

Unfortunately is is named simply "battery" in the drop down and "Laptop battery" once the power statistics windows is opened.

I have a Dell Studio XPS 16 laptop. I have replaced the battery and the charger. While the laptop will run on AC power it will not charge the battery and the battery is such like: http://www.scontobatteria.com/dell-studio-xps-16.html . It says plugged in not charging. If I restart the laptop I get an error screen that says the charger is not recognized. Is there a solution to this?
