    Hi fellas, i'm having a weird battery problem on my new T60 running Vista Ultimate. Intermittently it shows that the battery is less than 100% and isn't charging. The only fix is to pull the power pack plug and let the battery drain to about 95% or under and then it's fully charged to 100%.

    Has anyone had this issue besides me? I'm using the latest PM drivers v1.02 I believe as I pulled them off of Lenovo's website.

    My R60 does this as well.

    This is a standard set up to save the overall battery life. Once it started charging the battery, it takes from the life of a battery, so unless it goes below 95% it wont start charging. Dont worry!
    Hope it helps

    I think you can set it in the Power Manager. It can be set in the Battery Maintenance settings under the Battery Information tab.
