How do I troubelshoot "low battery level detected" message? [ Edited ]

[FarhatMasood]

I recently restored my Windows 7 Home Premium to its factory default settings through hp recovery manager. All went fine but I am getting this really annoying message at the startup that "low battery level detected" and the battery needs to be replaced. Before the restore operation, I was getting almost 3 hours of battery support and after the restore I am now getting only half an hour.

I am sure its not the battery, there is something else.

I have tried updating the BIOS.

Tried calibrating the battery.

I even have calculated the battery rated output voltages and its giving in 11.02 V even after the system recognizes the battery completely drained. There is nothing wrong with the battery.

Can anyone help me out?

Regards,

Farhat.

Still clueless.

How can I consider replacing my battery at the first place when before the restore operation, it was giving me 3 hours backup time and after that restore only 20 minutes?

Finally its resolved. The 601 (internal Battery Error is resolved)

I have calibrated the battery in safe mode with 7-10 Charge/Discharge cycles and Viola! the error is gone.

As I was confident that it could not be my battery issue, so I never gave up and tried figuring it out.

Hope that helps someone with the same problem.

Farhat.

I know next to nothing about computers.  I read your post and it seems like this is what I need to fix my computer.  I just bought it and everytime I turn it on I get the same error message you mentioned.  How did you go about fixing it?  Please don't worry about giving too many instructions, the more detailed, the better.  Thank you in advance for your help!
