I have a brand new Inspiron 1525 and am getting 1.5 hours of Battery rundown. I have lowered all of my settings, the screen is barely visible.

Does anyone have insight as to why my battery is performing so badly.

Thanks

How many months have you used this one? Dell Inspiron 1525 doesnt have good battery life. Several people face this problem.

I just purchased this laptop no more than a week ago with the 6 cell battery and it gets 2.5 hours running low screen brightness. Others I know that purchased the same one also get the same battery life, I have yet to see anyone get 6 hours on one of these.

i purchased dell inspiron 1525 2 months back,and i feel like cheated,battery backup reduced to 1.5 hrs and when i opt for shutdown,hibernate it made my laptop to restart

I got my laptop in June. A Dell Inspiron 1525, with a lithium battery, and I get tops 2 hours. I have it on Low battery save, and my brightness is down. And still only 2 hours. What is wrong?

Well, thats what it gives.

WHAT IS THE BACK UP OF DELL 1525 BATTERY NO:-GW240

As far as i know, Dell 1525 provide around 2-2.5 hours battery on full charging.

My Dell Inspiron 1525 was getting just over an hour of life out of a fully charged battery. I called them, they delivered a new one. Charged it full - WHILE OFF - and still…just over and hour! Am really freaking pissed off.

Dell battery

my dell insopiran fully charged battery maximum life is 1.30 minutes

Hello guys i have the same problem as well but i want to know that how ling this small battery life will last at least and how to enhance battery life of inspiron 1525?

thanks guys

well guys…that is wht dell is providing..i changed 3 battery and still same prob persists….
moreover inspiron1525 has also got overheating prob.

I have had my dell Inspiron 1525 for 2 yrs and it does not keep charge at all. I have to keep it charging constantly when using it. Not only that, the charger just stopped working. I’m in college and I use my computer a lot. This computer also overheats. Ugh! I’m not liking this at all. I need something that will last a long time.

I’ve had my Inspiron 1525 for a year and a half and I hardly used the battery compared to my last laptop, an HP. I had about 1.5-2 hours of battery power when it was new. My battery will not hold any charge at all and says “plugged in, not charging”. My laptop also overheats and shuts down. I got it to charge once in the last 3 months. The computer was shut off and unplugged for two days. The battery lasted half an hour after that.

From the research I’ve been doing, this model doesn’t come with recalibration software in bios to even recalibrate the battery. Dell seems to have made numerous models with faulty batteries, AC cords and internal charging issues.

This is my first and last Dell, that’s for sure.

HI, everyone,
i have got this laptop last year,
and from the first week ,my battery backup was 1 hour 20 minutes only,,

i had vista before, now i have XP system in my inspiron 1525,

Its working good, but still stuck with the battery,

and i am facing problems of wireless driver,,,,,

I face exactly the same battery life problem that all you folks complain about. I’m considering buying a netbook with a long battery life so I can do research on the go. Any recommendations? Warnings?
