Bmax Y13 – Battery problem

[Chris G]

Hi, mines not detected the brand either this is common. But it seems like maybe one battery cell is bad? Please try a full cycle to calibrate your battery. To do so run the laptop until it powers off. Then turn it on again and again until it will not power on anymore. Leave it to charge overnight.

 

This will recalibrate the battery.

I recalibrated the battery as Chris indicated to me and now working with Google Chrome and windows mail app the pc lasts 3.5 hours far from the 8 hours declared.
In my opinion the battery in any case has problems.
I contacted Banggood and asked for the replacement of the battery.

How did it end?

The same as mine.I have Tried a full cycle to calibrate my battery.
After about 4 hours of use, the battery indicator will be 5% and the computer will be in hibernation.

However, even if the battery display becomes 0% after restarting, it can be used for several hours.

Apart from this problem, I’m very happy to buy Y13 after seeing Chris’s review.I really like the Y13.

I’m poor at English.Thank you for helping me.google translation is great.

Hey all

Just wanted to share my experience with the bmax y13.

I have it less than a week and the little laptop works fine, except for the battery.

It is supposed to be designed up to 34600 mWh. Full charge capacity is at 24700 and current capacity is only 12700. Battery % goes until 52. In reality not even a third of claimed battery life. So quite dissapointed that this is not on par. Tried calibrating and windows setting but no luck.

I have send a email to bmax asking for battery model type. Also for BIOS drivers?

What i understand from reading the web is that only solution is going to be a new battery.

I also understand from the web that the teclast f6pro is very similar. Would this teclast replacement battery be a suitable replacement battery for the bmax y13 or is this a stupid idea?

Could someone with electronica skills reboost the battery to life?

Anybody has fresh ideas to tackle this problem?

Hope to get this as i should be though

Hi, have anyone a good idea to change the battery in Bmax Y13?

Now my Y13 works with battery only one minute and suddenly shut down.

Could I order somewhere a new battery?

Thanks

Was anyone able to solve this or  get a replacement battery? Mine doesn’t last more than 5 hours even if I just watch videos. Is there a way to benchmark the actual capacity?

Hi Viktor I took a photo of the battery when I had to disassemble my BMAX Y13. I share to you in order you can know the reference number of the battery. I think it is a generic battery and you can find it on AliExpress.

I hope it helps

Hello,

I have the same problem with thé batterie with my BMAX Y13. Received from Aliexpress 2 months ago.

So,  this BMAX is nearly new.

My batterie is blocked at 8% in charging mode process.

From the seller no support. From BMAX, no support. Do you have any suggestions ?

Fred.

Hey all,

time for an update…

My battery went from really bad to completely useless. When disconnected the power cord, it went dead in less than a second.

So i decided my annoyance with this was bigger than the fact that i could break the laptop trying to fix it.
I ordered this one https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005001289805909.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.696b4c4dcwWfwk

It has the same number (battery code: 30154200P)  and i read that some people got it into the Bmax y13. It also stated that it is to big. Wich is very true, this resulted in me cutting the battery to the desired form. The cells are the same…. its the housing wich is adapted to a specific battery. So i made it custom. I had to cut away the frame, foam filler and the attaching holes to make it work, redo the wrapping. But i got it in there!

The battery now lasts easy a couple of hours, how much i dont know because i dont time… but it is 4+ hours for sure, i am happy for now

The new one is the top one

Hello there, working long hours in New Zealand often means missing good crypto opportunities unless the tools are actually usable. Someone in an online group recommended Dorivo Trading 2026 https://dorivo-platform.net during a discussion about sustainable strategies. I tried it out first on demo mode then went live with a conservative amount and appreciated how it highlighted solid setups without overcomplicating things. Support answered my questions fast and the performance over the past weeks has been quietly positive. It fits nicely into my routine without taking over my evenings. New Zealand traders who want a reliable crypto service should see what it offers for themselves.
