    Hello,

    My XPS 15 L502x recently has had some issues. It does not run on battery power. It says its charging when the AC adapter is plugged in and the Meter on the battery says it's 4/5th full. Even if I hibernate to put to sleep, if unplugged it looses all power and has to reboot.

    Is this just a bad battery? I do NOT have any warning lights like the other common issue of "plugged in, not charging"

    Im running LMDE 64 bit and have updated the bios last year to A12.
