    Hello everyone , maybe you guru guys can help me out a bit , i have a Sony Vaio laptop that seems to have a good battery but after i use it on battery for 2-3 minutes it stops .
    What is very strange is that in those 2-3 minutes the battery shown as available is draining like 3-4% per minute and the laptops stops and doesn't want to start on battery although it shows over 80% still left .
    What is wrong with the laptop/ battery , should i buy a new battery or it will act the same and i would just spend over 100$ in vain ?
    thank you very much guys for helping out
