I finally resolved this issue.Dear users, who ever is facing the "Consider Replacing Battery" Issue in windows 7, read it out .1st of all, run the command prompt with administrator privileges and in command prompt, change the destination path to C:\ and then type POWERCFG -ENERGY. It will scan ur battery status and after 1 minute, it will generate a report which will be saved in the same destination in which the command had been performedi.e C:\. Open the energy report and check the battery's designed capacity and the last full charge. There will be a difference in both values as well as in the red columns (which are the warnings)it will be saying that battery has been charged below 40%. Note the last full charge reading and then perform the below given steps...this was mine figures: -Battery:Battery InformationBattery ID SANYO GC86508SAT0Manufacturer SANYOSerial Number Chemistry LionLong Term 1Design Capacity 44400Last Full Charge 30470 (it was at 11780, now see the difference by yourself)charge the battery completely, after that, start using laptop on battery and unplug the charger. Use the laptop until it automatically shut down itself. When it gets shutdown, On it again without plugging the charger and start using the laptop until and unless the battery is totally emptied. Then plug in the charger and start charging battery, again perform the same steps, after that, run the POWERCFG -ENERGY and check the last full charge reading. Perform these steps until ur last full charge crosses the 40% of the design capacity. still facing problem, then contact me on*** Email address is removed for privacy ***, cell # +(removed).Tips to ensure optimal battery life Use the AC adapter whenever possible, but not all the time. Use the battery on its own as well. Set the Windows Power Management settings to maximum savings. Lower the brightness setting on the screen backlight. Disconnect any unused devices (e.g., modems, wireless LAN cards) when not needed. Disable Auto Insert Notification on the CD-ROM. Turn off Autosave features. Disable automatic formatters, spell checkers, and autorecalculate features. Add RAM to lower disk access time. If you have a backup battery, use it in rotation with the current battery. Use the Suspend or Hibernate feature when taking a break. Fully drain and recharge the battery every couple of months, this helps to recalibrate the smart electronics even if the cells are fine. Minimize the number of programs running at the same time. Check the power save settings under the BIOS. If this is not enabled then the Windows Power Management settings may not work properly. If you are taking the battery out to store it, make sure it has atleast 40 - 50% charge. DO NOT fully charge it or discharge it before storage. Use smaller programs when possible (e.g., WordPad versus Word). Minimize game play and DVD viewing. See Duracell's page on general battery care.TOPTips for battery care and use
