    maybe it has to do with gaming idk, i game alot and my gt 555 is at 830 so at times it gets a little toasty, it could also be that the reading is incorrect, it is still a new ish battery

    Mine shows the same thing and ive only had mine for almost 2 months. I just leave mine plugged in a lot so that may have something to do with it.

    leaving it plugged in really shouldent do it that easily, i think its more of a heat issue or just a bad battery, or i could be wrong, im calibrating my battery first

    If you take the back cover off of the laptop the battery says do not expose to tempuratures above 65 C so prolonged gaming probably will make the battery deplete quicker.
