You may use the general steps provided below to calibrate the notebook's battery  smile.gif

Battery Calibration :

1.Unplug the battery for the unit and power up using power adapter.
2.Once inside the Windows, right clicking on the Windows icon on the taskbar and select Device Manager.
3.Go to the "Battery" category, click the arrow icon then right click on "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" and uninstall the driver.
4.Shutdown the unit after uninstalling the driver and unplug the power adapter.
5.Plug in back the battery into the unit and power up just using the battery.
6.Drain out the battery and then charge up the battery to see whether the battery can fully charge up to 100%.

Thanks, seems like quite tedious to do. Few questions.

Do I have to run down the battery until 0%?

What is the disadvantage of not calibrating the battery? Is it just inaccurate battery % reading? (I almost 95% of time will plug in the power adapter though).

Do I really need to perform this on monthly basis?

Would this improve the battery life in long run?

What is the disadvantage of not calibrating the battery? Is it just inaccurate battery % reading? (I almost 95% of time will plug in the power adapter though). Yes, the only disadvantage of not calibrating the battery is that the Windows shows inaccurate battery reading on the indicator.

Would this improve the battery life in long run? Yes, definitely.  biggrin.gif

Hi...im currently surveying selenite. But after go thru the thread, many people say selenite sound speaker is bad. Can you share your experience with selenite regarding this? A video sample would be helpful...thanks.

Need to tune via Sound Blaster software, otherwise the audio quality is quite bad

ILLEGEAR SELENITE is now powered by 9th generation Intel Core i7 processor! SELENITE is portable but powerful enough for life on the go with its six-core i7-9750H processor which delivers desktop-like performance.

Could you source the driver separately from creative? Also, I can't seem to find Drivers and downloads (for manuals and stuff) section on your website.

Hi Barackboy, Yes there is a difference between the 9th Gen i7-9750H and i7-8750H 8th Gen processor. Technically the 9th gen processor has higher clock speed for processing power comparing to the 8th Gen predecessor. While other specs, such as the cache, cores and threads and etc, remains the same. For your reference, the below link is to the difference for both of the processors. Hope this clarifies.

Hi Steve,

Alright, is there huge gap when doing rendering or gaming ? If no huge improvement, i might as well just grab the promo 8th gen pack.

In general not much difference (except for i9 which is toasty)
