Battery life Easynote F7305

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.packardbell (More info?)

Assuming that you have almost 100% capacity after a charge then 70% after 8
minutes seems to be a great drop although not totally abnormal.
I am familar with Gateway systems that have a battery optimizer utility.

I see none or have found none for your system

You do not have unit set to go into hiberantion and or it does
not occur when on power pack?

I honestly do not know if this is availale on your system
