E115 Won't Hold Battery Charge

I've had my Cassio e115 for about 2 years. I haven't been using it that often until recently. However, i now noticed that after recharging my battery to full charge, I can only use it for less than 2 hours straight. Now, both the main and backup battery are originals (2 yrs old). I bought a brand new main battery (jk 210lt) but have the same problem. Does the backup battery have anything to do with how well the main battery holds a charge? I gave the new main battery a full charge and got about 2 hrs of use before my low battery warning came on again? Does any know what could be the problem? Should I buy a new back up battery? Since my main battery is new, could it be that I need to give it several full charges before it will work to its max capacity? Thanks...

We have a maxim in Engineering which says anything that can be adjusted can be misadjusted. If the new battery gives yoy the same amount of power you have a problem with your main board. Apparently the charging circuit is switching off before the charge is fully achieved. There is a charge cutoff voltage adjusting trimmer on board which needs adjustment. I would however leave is to a Casio trained technician.

You might hook your charger up to your battery and check the voltage that you are getting when it is fully charged. It may be that the charger is bad. Your voltage when fully charged with the battery on it should be a little over the rated voltage of the battery. Just a thought. Be sure you are using the correct poweradapter/charger also.

I haven't turned the camera on for a couple of years. I've tried charging the battery, but I can't get it to power up. Do I need to replace battery or is it something else?

If the rechargeable battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles and will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and gradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced. Rechargeable batteries will fail if stored in a discharged state for long periods.

When i pull out the power cord on my N150 plus the comp crashes,even though the battery is saying 100 per cent..any idea?

A lot of times this happens when the battery has gone bad and needs to be replaced. It might say 100%, but due to use (and sometimes just due to a faulty battery) the battery will charge less and less and eventually won't hold a charge at all. For example, when I first got my laptop a year and a half ago, I could get almost six hours out of a charge. Now I get almost twenty minutes. Unfortunately, I would say you need a battery. You can get one either from samsung (though you may have to call them, I couldn't find your battery on the site), Newegg.com, or ebay.com.

Some good tips for handling your new battery. First, if the computer's plugged in, remove the battery. Put it back in before you unplug it. This will prevent long-term wear on your battery. Secondly, it's good to regularly (I'd say yearly or so) let your computer "die" on battery (run it until the battery dies), then charge it completely THREE TIMES. This will "cycle" your battery. They say that with the newer batteries used nowadays this isn't an issue, because the new type of battery doesn't create the crystals like the older type does, but it can't hurt anything and I've noticed a difference when I do it.

I'm sorry about the bad news, but hopefully this will help!
