Basically the title. My Toshiba Laptop (the Satellite S50-D) will drain battery quickly on very light use (word processing, browsing pictures, etc.) down to about 10 % in an hour. Then, it will stick at 8 % and tell me I only have 1 minute left, but last for another hour or more.
I have made sure that there are no CPU-intensive programs running in the background via the Task Manager. Wireless communications are turned off, and the brightness is set to the lowest setting.
When I first bought it, it would hold 3 + hours on light use without a problem, this was about a year ago. I recently also calibrated the battery (discharged it and put it in sleep mode for a few hours, then charged it back up to full) and still this problem is occurring.
Is this a problem with the battery and I should consider replacing it, or is there a way to properly adjust it to correctly display the life left? Thanks for reading this.
