Question Dell D620 Battery dies at 90 precent

[jimmysofat6864]

For some reason, my D620 randomly shuts down at 90 percent. I have tried to calibrate the battery but it dies too early. How can I make the battery gauge more accurate. Also it is an aftermarket battery.

How old is the battery?

How many charging cycles does it have?

Also it is an aftermarket battery.

I have always found aftermarket batteries to be a waste of money, they never work properly or if they work they die really quick. If you have just bought the battery my advice is return it and get a genuine replacement.

The battery is maybe about 4 years old and I can't find the cycle information anywhere. I know that it doesn't have too many charge cycles.

This one is an slightly older battery so I can't return it.
