Battery is gone?

Framework Laptop 13
1

Been using my lovely Framework 13 since 2023. Now, if the battery goes below 40, the laptop dies. Is it time to get a new battery and replace? Or need I debug?

Thanks :slight_smile:

What’s your battery health? You can check it $ upower -i $(upower -e | grep battery) on Linux and powercfg /batteryreport on Windows. If you are not sure, discharge the battery until the laptop dies, then charge it to 100% and keep it plugged in for another 3 hours, and check the battery health information again

I did that on Linux.

No warning-levels. Capacity is 90.8%

Discharge to 40% then use upower to check it’s voltage. Then do a bit of stress testing and during stress check the voltage again. If the voltage seems normal, it might be the "battery shows 0% bug

Have you tried this?

Perform a System Reset (Hard Reset):

  1. Disconnect the charger.
  2. Remove the base cover and disconnect the main battery connector.
  3. Disconnect the RTC battery (coin cell) if necessary, particularly if the laptop shows no signs of life.
  4. Hold the power button for 15-20 seconds to drain residual power.
  5. Reconnect everything and plug in the charger.
