Compaq Presario Laptop Batteries Troubleshooting

laptop batteries are essential for increased mobility in Compaq Presario laptops. Replace the battery, reconnect the AC adapter and allow the battery to charge for at least thirty minutes. If the computer loses the charge immediately, purchase a new battery. Check Health With the merger of HP and Compaq, Compaq Presario batteries may be checked by an online HP utility. Inconsistent Charging If your Compaq Presario laptop switches between battery and AC power randomly, the problem may be with the adapter instead of the battery. Disconnect the adapter, turn off the computer and remove the battery. If the computer works fine, then the problem is a faulty battery. Charge Reduces Quickly Change your power settings if your battery life diminishes too quickly. Replace the battery or contact customer service for a replacement if your computer is under warranty.
