This drop in capacity normally indicates the battery has reached (or in this case, gone well past) the end of its serviceable life.
Yah I pretty much figured the battery is probably toast at this point. I just want to make sure that power management is working before I throw parts at it and replace the battery, just to have it do the same thing to the new one.
How old is the battery, how many charge/discharge cycles has it seen, and has it been allowed to overheat at any point (e.g. the laptop put into a bag while still running)?
This decrease in life happened quickly but it was in terms of a couple of weeks, not a couple of days. I couldn't say how many cycles it's been through. I bought the laptop refurbished, and I dont know the condition of the battery at that time, other than I got about 2.5 hrs of usage from it on windows 10.
