Pc-Check Windows Battery Capacity Life Test Failure Information

Group Number 610X

Device Battery

This is a test group for testing system batteries capable of running the system without AC power. The group has been designed to test the charging circuit and battery device attached to the system but does not test external uninterruptible power supplies.

Test Number 311

Capacity Life

The Capacity Life test checks the Battery current capacity with the capacity at the time of manufacture to estimate how much the battery has degraded. If the capacity level is above the configured parameter, this test will pass.

NOTE: The charge cycle thresholds can be configured and will cause the test to return not available if the battery has cycled (charged and discharged) a number of times outside of the thresholds. This allows the test to be called with different capacity thresholds depending on the number of cycles the battery has experienced.

PARAM7: Minimum Charge

Minimum Charge or Capacity in percent.

PARAM9: Minimum Capacity Threshold

Minimum capacity in mWh.

PARAM10: Charge Cycles Lower Threshold

Lower Cycle Range.

PARAM11: Charge Cycles Upper Threshold

Upper Cycle Range.

TROUBLESHOOTING5: This may occur due to a windows driver (Battery or Charging circuitry) related issue or malfunction in the electronics in the battery or the charging circuit.

Battery charge or discharge state detected as incorrect. CODE=0x05/3FF

TROUBLESHOOTING1: Potential general battery failure. It is advisable to review your test settings as newer systems require longer discharge times. The system battery may require being less than default value especially if it is a tablet.

TROUBLESHOOTING5: This may occur due to a windows driver (Battery or Charging circuitry) related issue or malfunction in the electronics in the battery or the charging circuit.

Battery is not detected as rechargeable. CODE=0x06/3FF

TROUBLESHOOTING1: Potential general battery failure. It is advisable to review your test settings as newer systems require longer discharge times. The system battery may require being less than default value especially if it is a tablet.

TROUBLESHOOTING5: This may occur due to a windows driver (Battery or Charging circuitry) related issue or malfunction in the electronics in the battery or the charging circuit.

Timed out detecting removal or insertion of ac adapter. CODE=0x07/3FF

TROUBLESHOOTING2: Timed out awaiting a response from the user. This could mean that the system does not support detection of the AC Adapter.

Unable to retrieve the battery charge rate. CODE=0x08/3FF

TROUBLESHOOTING1: Potential general battery failure. It is advisable to review your test settings as newer systems require longer discharge times. The system battery may require being less than default value especially if it is a tablet.

TROUBLESHOOTING3: On older systems there is potential that the charge or discharge reading is invalid or not supported.

TROUBLESHOOTING5: This may occur due to a windows driver (Battery or Charging circuitry) related issue or malfunction in the electronics in the battery or the charging circuit.

Unable to retrieve the battery state. CODE=0x09/3FF

TROUBLESHOOTING1: Potential general battery failure. It is advisable to review your test settings as newer systems require longer discharge times. The system battery may require being less than default value especially if it is a tablet.

TROUBLESHOOTING5: This may occur due to a windows driver (Battery or Charging circuitry) related issue or malfunction in the electronics in the battery or the charging circuit.

Battery charge is over 95% after 5 minutes of testing. CODE=0x0A/3FF

TROUBLESHOOTING0: The battery in it's current charge state is not suitable for testing as it is required to be between 10 and 95%. The battery should be charged or discharged as required prior to test execution.

The charge rate was outside the threshold. CODE=0x0B/018

TROUBLESHOOTING1: Potential general battery failure as the capacity health reading is below the specified parameter value. It is advisable to review your test parameter settings, for example newer systems require longer discharge times. The system battery voltage may require being less than default value especially if it is a tablet.

TROUBLESHOOTING5: This may occur due to a windows driver (Battery or Charging circuitry) related issue or malfunction in the electronics in the battery or the charging circuit.

The voltage test is not available on this battery. CODE=0x0C/3FF

TROUBLESHOOTING3: On older systems there is potential that the charge or discharge reading is invalid or not supported.

TROUBLESHOOTING5: This may occur due to a windows driver (Battery or Charging circuitry) related issue or malfunction in the electronics in the battery or the charging circuit.

An error occurred with the interactive test window. CODE=0x0D/001

TROUBLESHOOTING4: Unknown error unrelated to the battery most likely a general operating system error.
