If there was one part I wouldn’t want to overclock, it would be the battery.
Yup, you can find a lot of overclocked batteries at r/spicypillows
with enough voltage yes. you can even make fireworks.
you can overcharge it, but it can go boom
Yep. It’s quite bang for the buck to do so…
Yeah, devices measure battery charge with a chip that collects data like voltage and resistance through the battery, does some clever maths to it to get the charge level. So either that chip is borked (which will cause serius issues down the line) or the battery itself is. Either way you need to replace it.
Or there is a chance this is some kind of fuckey software/firmware issue so you could try reinstalling windows/doing a firmware reset, but I dont think thats likely.
The battery estimate is averaged over time. I bet the owner replaced the battery recently and the battery report thing hasn’t had time to update.
When I bought a laptop, it had been opened once in the factory, and then not at all for four months. So the first few times I used it, it wouldn’t go over 100% in my case, but it would report something like “177 hours remaining” on battery, when in reality it’s for my laptop 6-7 hours tops.
Haha, that just an error returning 0xFF or the max value of the int 8 bit type lol. Typically cause it didn’t get a return value and kept whatever was initially assigned during compile time.
I have seen some in the thousands cause they used a long type or something else lol
You should probably open powershell and run “powercfg /energy” and check the report for the battery health.
Looks like its overclocked
255 is the max value of an unsigned byte 🤔
