| ++ '''Guide notes''' ++ |
| * '''''If your battery exceeds 30-40 °C/86-104 °F, REPLACE THE BATTERY!''''' |
| * '''If your pack is older, use caution. This may damage older batteries.''' |
| * If your laptop does not allow you to use it when the battery drops to a certain percentage (notably HP), you will need a workaround to drain the battery to 0%. This may vary based on the BIOS type (UEFI or Legacy). |
| * In most cases, you will see a capacity decrease. This is good and means the information reported to the BMS is accurate. |
| * Try to avoid using your laptop while it is charging. This may impact the post calibration accuracy. |
|
| '''How to recalibrate the battery''' |
| * Charge the laptop to 100%. |
| * Use the laptop until it's at 0% and shuts down**/***. |
| * Immediately recharge the battery. To recalibrate the battery, immediately recharge the battery (uninterrupted). |
| === Known BIOS lockouts === |
| **HP laptops have a ~15% BIOS lockout and automatically turn off and need to be bypassed. '''Immediately recharge the battery once the laptop is at 0% capacity and shuts down.''' |
| ***Lenovo laptops have a ~7% critical lockout. This only kicks in if the laptop is turned off. |
