    So I've somewhat recently bought a 650G1 as a daily driver (atleast until Acer support can cooperate and I can get my swift fixed lol), and battery life seems really bad, as in 2-3 hours of use before it up and dies. I figured this could be related to battery health, but hwinfo and the powercfg report both say it's spot on the original capacity, however I find this hard to believe given the battery has a 2014 build date. Is there any other program that can accurately view battery health on these machines, or is it genuinely somehow at full capacity despite the battery being built 7 years ago and the machine clearly being heavily used?

    Thanks in advance.
