Hello! I have an Asus t100ta 2 in 1 tablet PC. Recently in the past four or five days the battery has went from good to an absolute joke. It goes down about 10 or 15 percent an hour when on standby, and the battery dies even while the tablet is plugged in and 'charging.' I have no clue what could be causing this. My only suspicions would be that there's something in Windows 8.1 that's keeping the system heavily working while doing nothing (the tablet doesn't get hot while on standby), or that because I'm in Europe now and not in the USA, the charging might he changed, but it worked for five weeks on a European plug, and then these problems started on the sixth. I have no clue what could be doing this, please help me because this tablet is all I have to do everything for the next year. I am a little advanced with PCs so please don't tell me generic things like 'is it plugged in?' these have all been covered. Thank you very much!

Hi
Also have a look in Task Manager to see what is running in the background.

^^Resource monitor is just a bigger version. If you find something, also scan with malwarebytes.

Maybe what happened was the change in the plug type may have caused your battery to malfunction. I know that if you use a different type of plugs for the same device it may not like it as the new one has different voltages. You could try and change the battery.

You could also try and uninstall any intensive tasks and make sure that there are no unnecessary starup programs.

i looked into resource monitor and i did a scan with avast, and nothing was intensive in the slightest, and my problem is still here. after my avast scan it for some reason was better for one full charge then the problem came back. I turned my computer off for two days while it was charging(this would mean the computer is using nearly no power, yes, if its completely off) and It went from 6% to 23%

from around 13 January 2014. not very old. Im still in warranty but it would cost me more money than the cost of the tablet to ship it to the USA to have it replaced and back
