BATTERY TIME INCORRECT

[pixeldude]

Hi,

My Vaio Notebook k215z shows the remaining time of the battery incorrect (4h remaining and after 30 mins shows 2h10m) is that an issue? Or is normal.. is there an application or a driver to fix this?

Thank you.

Sometimes the battery time does go askew.

Do I have a travelstar drive ... on K215Z ? Is it safe to use this Power Booster application?

With this tool, you can configure the Power setting of the harddisc. But it saves not much energy. It must be only some minutes. I would look at the specifications of your harddisc. You can find it on the Hitachi site. Have a look at the energy consumption.
I have deactivate the energy safe mode on my harddisc, because I use my laptop on the AC power supply the most time. Normally(with energy safe mode) the harddisc switch of, if it doesn't use. But it's better for the harddisk lifetime if this feature off.

 Do I have a travelstar drive ... on K215Z ? 

Yes I have a Travelstar 80GN, which has 60GB. It's relativ fast drive with a low energy consumption. But in a FR315S.

I see .. I knew something about the lifetime of the HDD if it shutdowns and then starts again it makes the life time shorter.. then with that utility i wont gain so much time to use my batteries?

I still have one question which i dont understand why the time for battery is very "relative" when the battery is full charged it shows to me 4h and after some time it shows me fewer..the leap is too much..
I mean the calculated time is not accurate... is there a driver or something to fix this problem..or for all notebooks is a common problem?
