Do I Need a New Battery?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Just an easy question here, I presume!
Most of the time (99.9 pct of the time) I use my comp plugged in. Occasionally, I might need to go to the desk where the printer is, which I don't use often. I am usually then running on battery.
When I am plugged in, battery is indicated as being 100 pct charged.
As soon as I disconnect from the plugged-in state. Battery only indicates 84 pct charged, which reduces the autonomy to about 1 1/2 hours (I usually get around 2 1/2 on power saver).
Does this mean that I need to replace the battery, and seeing as I am almost always using the comp plugged in, would the battery last longer if I took it out? The comp is 2 years old.
Thanks for your help!

You can try calibrating the battery but I don't see the need to get a replacement battery just yet, unless you start being mobile more often

cheers ...
