Hi guest27112,
I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing with your battery. A slight decrease in battery capacity over time is normal, but if you're noticing a significant drop, there might be some steps you can take to improve the situation.
Firstly, I would recommend checking if there are any software updates available for your laptop. You can do this through the Lenovo Vantage app, which you can download from the Windows app Store. This app provides system health and performance monitoring, software and driver updates, and power management settings.
Secondly, try to adjust your power settings. You can do this by going to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options. Here, you can choose a power plan that suits your needs or customize your own.
Try these steps too.
Reinstall Battery drivers
- Press Windows Key + X, select Device Manager
- Now click Batteries in the Device Manager window
- Next, you should right-click Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery and select Uninstall from the context menu.
- Click Uninstall to confirm.
- Restart the device and have Windows install the generic driver type for the battery to be installed.
Static Discharge
- Remove all cables attached to the laptop (ac adapter/power, hdmi, external mouse/keyboard, etc)
- Ensure device is switched OFF
- Hold down power button for 60 seconds
- Re-attach all cables
- Connect the AC Adapter, then let the device charge for about 2 minutes (if it does) then start up as usual.
- Try this a couple of times in case it doesn't solve the issue the first time (2-3)
If the issue persists, it might be a hardware problem. You can check the warranty status of your product here and if it's still under warranty, you can submit a service request for technical support here.
I hope this helps! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
Best regards.
