Battery FULL CHARGE CAPACITY Reset

Question

Battery FULL CHARGE CAPACITY Reset

Anonymous

I have a laptop where the Battery report tells me that the battery FULL CHARGE CAPACITY is much less than its DESIGN CAPACITY.

I would like to know if there is a way to reset this setting somehow so that Windows can try to fully charge the battery, instead of stopping the charge at what is currently known as the battery FULL CHARGE CAPACITY.
Right now, the numbers are:

which results in only a few minutes of battery usage.

Using the CPUID HWMonitor tool, I can see that the battery charge actually stops at 6749 mWh, instead of continuing, and Windows report the battery as being 100% charged at that level, even if it is only at 13% capacity.

So, can anyone provide a method to reset the battery FULL CHARGE CAPACITY to its DESIGN CAPACITY so that Windows can re-evaluate the true battery capacity, as if it was a brand new battery.

Thanks.

HiMoharaj ,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

On your MSI laptop, do you have the MSI Dragon Center app?

If you do, in the Tools section, they usually have a Battery Calibration utility.

Hi,

the reduction in capacity is a normal part of battery aging.

Depending on how old this battery is, this could be normal.

There is no way to reset the battery to it's original capacity, as the cells in it are unusable.

If the device is still under warranty, you may be able to return it and get it exchanged, but most likely the battery is excluded from warranty service.

Some devices may still have replacable batteries, but if not, you will probably end up buying a new device.

Sincerely,

LightJack
