Battery Problems

[Sicon2011]

Hi everyone,

Hopefully not been asked and answered before I'm starting to get massive drain in battery making TF101 totaly useless as mobile device. I have read people having issue with battery drain after updates in ICS but at least they are getting some use from their device. Problem I have is even after I have fully recharged the unit for a good 7-8hrs, after removing the power cord it says its 100% charged, but when I come to use TF101 I'm lucky to get 10-15minutes of use before its gives low battery warning. With the power cord in it seems to recharge the battery and I can use it so I dont think anything wrong with the cables. The unit is around 2 years old now so out of warranty this sounds like a hardware (internal battery) problem than software. Just asking if anyone has had similar issue and in the end had to take out internal battery and replace it. Would also like to know any good companies in UK that sell the correct battery for Asus TF101.

Regards

Simon

Hello Simon.
Does sound like the battery needs replacing. First I would try a Factory Reset and see if that helps. If not, you will need to do a Google search for a replacement in your area.
I do believe the battery is soldered so a bit of expertise is required. Good luck.
