How can you make a laptop think it is plugged in when it really is not so the battery never runs out?

You need a new battery. They do wear out.
The laptop needs electricity to run, either with the electrical cord or with the battery. You cannot "trick" it into thinking it is plugged in any more than you can "trick" a car into running without gasoline or a T.V. into running without electricity.

Should you remove your fully charged battery from a laptop if plugged into an ac outlet in order to extend the batteries life?
According to manufacturers, you should never remove the battery when the computer is plugged in. Removing the battery does not extend battery life because all batteries have "shelf" life and are no good after a certain time. Today's batteries actually will last longer if you keep it in the laptop.
Why does your laptop restart when you use its battery?
No, my laptop and battery never happened like this. You need check your bios and your battery model. I linked a site below with some laptop battery using tips.
Is it bad for a laptop to leave it plugged in with a fully charged battery?
Previous Answer:Manufacturers used to say that once every week you have to drain the battery, this will extend the lifetime of the battery.Nowadays, no matter what you'll do, after a year you'd be lucky if your battery lasts 30 minutes. My laptop is a year and a half old now and the battery lasts for literally 10 minutes. The point is it's not worth worrying about it.This guy must have a bad battery. Don't listen to him.Once your battery is charged to 100%, the laptop runs off the plugged in power so there is no worry. However, it's a good idea to run your battery to about 20%-40% every few weeks to sort of "exercise" it, as it's still a chemical device.
Can you leave your laptop charger on when fully charged?
Yes you can leave your laptop charger on once the battery is fully charged. however, modern Li-Ion batteries should never be run ar full capacity continuously. We recommend either removing the battery if you plan on using your laptop for a long period of time on the mains, or let the battery run down once a week and then recharge it again to keep the molecules moving within the battery. See our simple guide here on how to care for your laptop battery
Can you charge a laptop while you are using it?
Yes. Well of course you can! Have you never used a laptop before? I'm on mine right now and its plugged in. There is no other way for the battery in your laptop to charge without it being off because if you plug in the charger to the laptop while its off, the battery wont fill. Hope that helped!! :)
I have a wacom tablet I've never used with my laptop before. The laptop runs Vista. I plugged the tablet in and it reads as a mouse. How can I get it to read a tablet pen and not a mouse?
Install the drivers that came with the tablet and then it might change the settings.
Why does my Compaq presario 2500 laptop screen dim when it runs on the battery and can it be fixed?
Yes, you can change the setting to make your computer NOT DIM while running on battery power. 1. click on start 2. in "search box" type this-- power options. You should now see this option appear with other items that your search has found. You will click on the that option (power options) and this will take you to where you can change the power plan for running your computer on battery power. 3. (My power plan is set on HP Recommended but which ever your plan is set on you can still change the laptop setting to NOT DIM while operating on battery power.) Look to the right of your power plan and you will see Change Plan Settings. Click on Change Plan Settings. 4. You will see Dim The Display. This is where you can make choices for dimming or not dimming the display for "on battery" or "plugged in." Click on drop down arrow and choose the NEVER setting. (I have chosen NEVER for both "on battery" and "plugged in." Notice that from here you can change the setting for the brightness of your display, set when to turn off the display and set when to put your computer to sleep for both when your computer is running off the battery or when it is plugged in.
Is it bad to have your laptop on sleep mode all of the time?
I would not recommend it. I have read about it being bad for your laptop to be on sleep mode all of the time, especially if you carry it with you while it is on sleep mode. Also, your laptop will get slower after a while. I think the traveling with your laptop in sleep mode is less of a problem if you have a Solid State Drive (SSD). Never the less, I would recommend at least once a week turning your computer off entirely for a few hours.
How to Maintain Laptop Batteries?
If you need to extend the life of your sony laptop while away from its AC adapter, buy a sony large capacity battery. This will increase your battery life by approximately 1.5 times. When you're at home, keep your laptop plugged into the wall with the supplied AC adapter. This will keep your battery charged at 100 percent. When on the road, avoid using multimedia features such as the DVD player and speakers, as these drain the battery quite a bit. If you're not using the Internet, turn off your wireless connection. If you need to leave the computer for a period of time, close the cover so it goes into hibernation mode. You can save additional battery power by turning off Bluetooth and removing USB devices. Also, avoid exposing it to extremely hot or cold temperatures.
Is the SD card very important on a laptop?

What type of charger do i need to charge my 12 volt motorcycle battery?
Any car charger will do. I recommend that you use a trickle charger rather than a jump charger. Also, look into a Battery Tender which will not only charge your battery at a proper pace, but you can leave it plugged in an the Battery Tender will maintain your battery for you so that it never becomes low again.
When traveling with a laptop you should?
Never check your laptop with your luggage.
