Talk:Aspire 4741G

I've Got That Acer Laptop
Cool

Battery recharge
So this is gonna sound freaky but ...

Today I was working with my Acer 5755G while it was at a critical battery level without plugging it in.

I then switched to my desktop to do somework there and forgot bout the laptop and sometime later I hear a beeping noise and the laptop hibernated or something by itself and booted back on. (All my work remained when it booted back) and automatically closed EVERY window I had open and shut down again.

Wtf happened? I mean after I booted it, it said 100% charged. it was down to 0%

We could use a bit more helpful nature here.

Hello, user.

Modern laptops (mainly Dell, HP and Acer) have a special feature in them called Dual-Battery Circulation. It is normally mentioned in the catalogue. This feature was designed to help you protect your work from scenarios such as what were you involved in yourself. Basically what that is done is, the BIOS system switches the battery you use after your "main" V4 (Acer 5755G has a V6 battery) reaches zero in order to prevent data corruption it switches to a backup 2V part-battery and safely makes backups of your work then shuts down.

After you login ofcourse, this will show a 100% charged battery and you should at all means charge the Laptop a good 3-4 hours and SWITCH back to the main battery before using further because the backup battery was only made for short term use. You can't switch to the Backup battery from the Main battery by any conventional methods. However you can switch to the Main Battery from the backup battery by going to

Devices > Battery and Power

or else

BIOS when booting up.

Hope this helped.

@Thanks
Thanks for the help mate,

yes it is clearlly explained in the catalouge, i feel stupid =/

Thank you again for the detailed post

Acer is extremely thoughtful for providing this. Saved me from a massive crisis.

Deftly handled.
It seems the question got answered. I'll just add something to it.

If by any chance you use the backup battery to less than 50% I HIGHLY suggest you get a new battery pack for the laptop, since overusage can and will corrupt the entire battery. Also, you may notice that the backup battery decreases in a highly accerlerated speed. Understandable since it is very low in capacity.
