Sony Vaio FE11H Battery Icon help

[rareair04]

Hi Gang,

A simple question really. Everytime I hover my cursor over the battery icon in the taskbar, all I get is the percentage remaining (eg. 80% remaining) but not the actual time in hours and minutes (hh:mm).

I know on my previous Vaio (model number PCG-FX905) I used to get both.

Is there any way I can get my new Vaio (model VGN-FE11H) to display this info, or is this just the way it is on this new model.


Many Thanks

Hi rareair04,

Unfortunately I believe this is the way it is on the new models...:smileysad:

You could Google for BatteryMateXP.

Why is your post dated for tomorrow when its today?!

Anyways I think it should be defaulted to show both % and time, double click the option to see if it shows it or gives an option to show it?
Otherwise I dont think you can do much really as you say your last one showed it and this one doesnt.

Thanks for all the help, much appreciated.

On a different note, can anyone tell how much more significant battery power will I get if I was to upgrade to the VGPBPL2C battery which claims to be more longer lasting then the standard one.

Many Thanks

Hi there.

Try Notebook Hardware Control (NHC). I think that gives you the time left in hh:mm.
