    Hey guys,

    I have an Acer 5920G that's reaching it's third year anniversary. After the second year the batter has started to drastically decrease in life. I did a few searches and most places say that it's pretty normal. Yet looking at some results it seems that my battery still has quite a high capacity left but drains out in less than 20 minutes once unplugged.

    Here's some info:

    -Intel Core 2 Duo T5450
    -Win7 HP
    -NVidia GeForce 8600M GS

    I leave the battery in at all times and the laptop plugged in unless I absolutely need to unplug it. Plugged in I leave it at high performance but unplugged I set it to balanced or power saver (either way I still only get 20 minutes of use out of it).

    Capacity:

    And also running -powercfg -energy command I got:

    Battery:Battery Information
    Battery ID 30155SONYChapala
    Manufacturer SONY
    Serial Number 30155
    Chemistry LION
    Long Term 1
    Design Capacity 71040
    Last Full Charge 49728

    I can send the whole report if necessary.


    Any suggestions as to what might be wrong?
