    I have both the extended battery and normal battery. Had the unit for a few months. Works fine. But I noticed that when I'm on the normal battery and I ran a game on it, it used to last an hour or so. Now, it lasted for about 15mins. I hardly run the laptop on battery while gaming. Normally plugged in.

    Normal use on the battery is about 1-2hours. non gaming. But it happened to me again while just on the internet. Batter was at 85% about 10minutes later, it was down to 22%. Could it be a bad battery?

    Ok... now I'm not sure. I was at 100%. 10-15mins later of gaming. reboot once, and battery is at 57%. Which is alot better than 22%. So I have no idea now.
