random shutdown on battery power
Filed in: Random Shutdown Add comments
Usually I have to be down to 40% battery power. Then with no warning the system just shuts down. It used to go to sleep to conserve power if it was low. Now it just shuts down. I did the battery reset procedure. No good.

This happens with mine too! It’s clearly a hardware or firmware issue because it happens in Windows as well.

Same problem! Today it conked out at 38% battery. Strange, it doesn’t happen when the battery is full or on power adapter.

I wonder if the battery is the cause. Have you tried replacing the battery? Tell me if it works and I will get a new one too.

Mine is the same.
Although it’s been getting worse. It started shutting down at like 12% and has gradually been getting higher. It just this minute turned iself off at 74% battery.
