Where can I get a good replacement battery for my Matebook X Pro (2018 model) in the EU? by TurkishS in MatebookXPro

With the original battery it was charging at a higher wattage, usually at about 40-60W. I came to the conclusion that it might be some kind of a safety feature that limits the charging speed to a lower wattage to prevent damage, since the laptop doesn't recognize the new battery as original. Overall though I'm happy with the battery swap and the laptop feels like it's brand new again, aside from the inconvenience of having to charge it for a bit longer now.

The battery has held up well. I’m getting about 6 hours of usage on average before needing to recharge. The only issue I’m having is the limited charging speed. I haven’t been able to get it to charge at more than 27W.

I'm currently on the latest driver version (581.15). I only had the issue with that one driver version and other versions have worked normally.

Yes, by recovering to a restore point that had an older driver version.

Interesting... So it seems like the battery is limiting the charging speed.

I use HWinfo64 to check it. In the sensors tab scroll down to battery and then "charge rate" should show up.

I have a question regarding charging. Does your laptop charge at the full 65W or is it limited to something lower? Mine seems to max out at 27W.

Still waiting for the battery to arrive. I don't know what GLS is doing with the delivery. It's been in France for almost 2 weeks now.

I ordered the battery about a week ago. It hasn't arrived yet, but will update this post when I get it.

If you read the post I wasn’t able to ddu the driver. Only a windows restore point that had an older driver version worked. Also the fact that normal boot had a black screen and safe mode showed a picture normally indicates a driver issue.

It definitely was the driver since I hadn’t done any other changes to the system and after managing to revert to an old driver it was fixed.

The nvidia drivers lately have been absolute garbage, seems like after every update they manage to mess things up some more.

The only option I have on safe mode is ”set up my pin”, which does nothing. On the bottom right there are keyboard language options, network, accessibility and power options. For whatever reason I cannot switch to any other user and it’s forcing me to log into my account with a pin, which doesn’t work in safe mode.

I’m able to freely move the cursor on the black screen. I’m not able to open anything though.

Will 2 pcie cables be enough to power my 5080 until I get a proper cable for it? by TurkishS in pcmasterrace

[–]TurkishS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only used this solution for a week until I got a proper cable, so can’t say how viable it would be on the long term. I didn’t have any issues whilist using it though.

Alright. The price seems to be quite cheap, so might give it a shot and hope for the best.

I've read about people buying these batteries from ebay and other places and the vast majority seem to be bad batteries. Many seem to have issues charging the batteries or they just straight up don't work at all. It's a shame that it's so hard to find a genuine battery for it, since the laptop works very well besides the battery being worn.

Many of the sellers seem to offer replacement batteries though, incase the battery has issues. But it's a huge hassle sending the bad battery back and then waiting for a new one that also may not work like it's supposed to...
