Laptop goes to sleep when unplugged

[Miss JK]

Hey guys,

my laptop goes to sleep 3 seconds after I unplug it.
This thing started when i decided to buy a new battery.
I've already changed 3 of those, so the problem is about the laptop, I suppose.
After I hit power button it just resumes Windows.
The battery shows as fully charged, but is it really?
Which driver should I renew to solve this issue?

Thanks a lot in advance for any clue!

Check your power savings settings in control panel, there are two profiles on laptops one for battery one for when plugged in.

I did, but the setting is for 45 minutes, not for 3 seconds
This has never happened before, just when I got the new battery.

That is strange since it is a windows managed option.

 

[Miss JK]

It is very strange. Could it be some Windows glitch?

 

[rolli59]

Yes it can be.

 

[Miss JK]

Yes it can be.

I just did it again and on the system resume screen it tells me that the reason is the battery, that it's reached it's critical level. How is that possible, if it's showing 100%??
Could it be that the laptop simply doesn't see it?
Looks like I have to reinstall the system

Does the laptop have battery refresh or calibration?

Rolli! Thank you so much! Your question about the battery refresh has lead me to actually updating BIOS and that solved the problem!
Now it can see the battery and all the system runs twice as fast as before!
Yay!!!!
God bless!!!

Great enjoy. I have had several laptops with such a feature in BIOS/setup and just remembered that ones when I replaced battery I had to some kind of calibration for it to actually read the capacity right.
