ASUS Laptop won't charge anymore

The Strange · Apr 18, 2017

So I just started up my ASUS laptop, and I saw how BatteryBar showed me an N/A text. I was confused why it told me that. I hovered over it, and it told me that the battery is completely empty. I looked at windows battery indicator, and it told me too that it was 0% not charging. I tried removing the power cord and the laptop turned off instantly. So now I know that the battery is completely empty. Yesterday, It was not empty. I made a battery report using CMD and I could be sure that it had some power in it yesterday. Also, the battery is not removable, so I can't try removing it and reinstalling it. The laptop model is ASUS X550ZE. Also, the battery wear level is 50% , but it was like that for a long time. Is there a way to fix this?

Actually batteries are removable, just some are a royal pain to get to. One of my pet peeves of newer devices.

That said, if the battery wear level was at 50% a 'long time ago' then it all sounds to me like you need a new battery. There is no way to fix that other than to replace it.

If the laptop is under warranty still, contact the manufacturer about a replacement of the battery. If it isn't under warranty anymore, then either you, or someone you take it to locally, will have to replace it.

50% = that is may as well be dead which is what it just did. I know, normal people would say, doesn't it have like 50% of life left? but no, in tech world 50% battery health is dead. Dead-dead-dead.

oh. then even if the battery was able to hold 87% yesterday it is still dead. also, it was able to hold almost a hour of use time with the BatteryBar

That was yesterday, now is today. If you feel like searching for a graph of Li-On battery performance, they wear out pretty evenly then at the end it suddenly drop like a rock. All battery meter reading goes out the door, heck sometimes the reading stop altogether.

People who keep up with their battery wear pay attention to the battery's CHARGE CYCLE, I dunno what ASUS batteries are able to give you these days but a while back it used to 500 cycles and then that's it.

wait, what? why did the wear level just got down. I remember that it was above 50% and now it's 49.5% I know that it's not much, but why did it happen? It seems that the battery is unwearing. Now it's 49.1% and it charged for a second.
