Hi there!
So I recently purchased a new Asus Laptop, model number N550JK.
It's an incredible laptop, the display is great, the power, the speed, the touchpad and the looks. However when I bought the laptop, I put in my own SSD and reinstalled windows 8.1. When I did that, I also installed the Paid version of BatteryBar Pro which is good for estimating battery usage.
Anyhow, I noticed, right away, that the wear was at around 2% on the first day, purchased on friday evening (from posting this, it is 10PM monday night. The next day the battery wear was around 4.2% and the following morning atound 5%. So I decided to do recalibrate, run the battery down to 0% and then change back to 100%. When I did that, the wear went from 5% to 4.2%, so not great.
Today, I spent all day at UNI, came home, plugged laptop in as it was almost dead. It is now showing 6.1% wear.
Is this normal? I had a HP laptop (to which I returned and got this due to many, many issues) and it showed 0% wear over a month. This has 6.1% (fluctuating though) over the period of 3 days.
Am I just paranoid? Or is the battery really faulty and I should call to get a replacement.
Is there anyway I can test it myself? Would removing the battery drivers help? Or anything else I can try.
Cheers!
