I am having some trouble with my battery under windows 7, I forgot to plug adapter and use my laptop until the battery drained to a level considered critical by windows 7 and it immediately went to hibernate, my work was saved but now there's a boring and annoying message in my taskbar telling me to "consider replacing your battery". Well my battery is good and I never had such message while I was running vista, I even could keep my laptop running for 2 without the adapter plugged in. If you experienced the same problem or know how to fix this, please answer this discussion, I will also share any updates concerning this issue and maybe together we can find a fix to this problem.

If you couldn't fix it from everything said here, check out all the settings and notifications from windows 7 settings. It has just way way too much irrating and NOT useful settings and mostly notifications. Things you may know if you have problem with them. If your windows is genue then you can contact microsoft and they should tell you the way to disable that notification.

Updating the BIOS will most definitely resolved this. But if it doesn't you may try disconnecting both the battery and the AC adapter from the laptop and pressing the power button for 10 seconds to drain the flea power. Plug both the adapter and battery back in and check. Hope that works.

I am actually trying this, I am using my laptop plugged in without the battery, I am having a problem actually to drain my battery, because everytime I press the power button with my battery at 0% inside it seem that my laptop is still turning on but then shuts down. I don't want to press the button like 100 times to drain it completely. If you come across any fix please let me know. Have a nice day.

i think it is a very unique problem. if the problem is there then you must put the charger plugged and on the system if the system is not running again. then remove the battery and recheck. i think this will work. then shutdown the system properly and then put the battery in and start with battery.
goodluck

Well, thank you for your response. It's annoying to see this message telling me to "consider replacing my battery" when my battery is in good condition, it worked under the previous version of windows without any problem. I have tried to do what you say but I know that it's not really a battery problem but a problem with windows. I think I should update the bios but I can't find any windows 7 bios update for my laptop right now. Thank you for responding again. Have a nice day. Thanks.
