Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Lenovo IdeaPad L340-15 laptop, model number 81LW005PUS, ships with a 3CELL_36WH_INTERNAL, Lithium Polymer Battery, with a battery life of up to 8 hours, depending on the work the device is performing. Your battery life indicator is an estimate of remaining battery life. How long does the battery actually last - is it longer than the 3 hours indicated. If your battery life indicator is showing less battery life than is actual, be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10 on the computer, then update all of the BIOS files and drivers to fix any errors that may be effecting the battery life indicator. You can easily accomplish this by scanning the computer with the Lenovo Utility software installed on the computer. This system has Lenovo utilities installed to help maintain the health of the device and keep the operating system software up to date. Type "Lenovo Vantage" in the Cortana Search window (if Lenovo Vantage is not installed on your device, you can download the APP and install it now). Select Lenovo Vantage from the list. In the window that opens, click on "Health and Support". In the expanded menu, select "Hardware Scan" In the window that opens, select "Run Quick Tests". This will scan your entire system for errors. Follow any directions that may pop up. If the problem continues after this scan, now click on "System Update". First select Windows update from the menu. Scan your system to be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10. Once that scan is complete, select "Additional Updates". This will scan your device to be sure there are no new BIOS/Driver updates needed. Follow any instructions that may pop up. If the issue still continues after these updates, we recommend you call Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686 for additional help
