    Hello there.
    I have been using my computer for 4 months now and the battery tells me I have about 2 hours left and all of a sudden it tell me to plug in the cable. What had happened. I have it to start charge at 30% and stop at 95%

    What does the Battery tab in Power Manager tell you about the battery health (use Advanced mode). Within 1 year, the battery is covered under warranty, so Lenovo can send you a new one if it's defective.

    What's the condition of the battery? Try recalibrating the battery from the Power Manager to get an accurate reading of the battery status.
