My E15 E5 575G 58H6 blinks orange when I use battery power

ActionMan24267

I use the AC adapter plugged into my laptop 90% of the time. The other day I used the battery to power my laptop instead. When I switched it on I got an orange blinking light. After I had finished using my laptop I shut it down. When using it again the next day or the day after that no orange blinking light. After charging up my laptop using the AC adapter I used the laptop again on battery power the next day and again the same issue. On using it the 2nd time on battery power no issue. I have checked the battery life every time I am using the battery to power my laptop and performance is ok.
Is this normal as I have searched for an answer and can't find one in regards to my issue. Would anyone know why this may have happened, was it because I am using the AC adaptor plugged into the mains too much. Was it because, maybe the laptop is getting used to using the battery again to power the laptop. Does anyone know what a blinking orange light might mean when using it on battery power. I will use it on battery a bit more in the future and not just use the AC adaptor. Any advice on how to keep my laptop and battery healthy going forwards. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Try to perform a simple power reset and check the issue. Shutdoew the laptop. Disconnect the charger. Please check for a battery reset PIN hole at the bottom of the device.The reset hole would have a battery symbol next to it. Insert a paperclip into the hole and press for four seconds. Let the computer sit for 5 minutes with no power. Reconnect the charger and power On the laptop

Every battery can only sustain a finite number of charge and discharge cycles, after which it starts wearing off quickly.  

There’s no way to “overcharge” these batteries. When you get to 100% charge and leave your laptop plugged in, the charger will stop charging the battery. The laptop will just run directly off the power cable. After the battery discharges a bit, the charger will kick into gear again and top the battery off. There’s no risk of damaging the battery by charging it over its capacity.  

Leaving your laptop plugged in will not cause short term damage, but if you only ever use it on AC power you’ll almost certainly find that after a year the battery’s capacity has been significantly reduced. Similarly, if you only ever use it on battery power you’ll get through the battery’s discharge cycles quicker.  

So, the best solution is something of a compromise between the two: use it on battery power some days, and keep it plugged in on others.
