Hi, Joe.

Checking the purchase invoices, I bought the notebook on September 19,
2013, and then changed the battery on November 2, 2015. So less than two
years ago I have this battery.
The notebook I use it practically every day and I leave it sleeping from
one day to the next so I do not have to open every application every
time. I'm not sure if that impacts so much on the battery life.
If it was a long term degradation, possibly. With some battery
technology/technologies(?) there is a "memory" effect. If there is a
repeated "shallow discharge"/recharge cycle ( sleep overnight followed
by running during day with charger plugged in) the effective battery
capacity will decrease. IIRC that applies to only one technology but
can't remember which.
But in any case, in all this time, whenever the battery was charged, the
charge level was up to 100%. So just since yesterday I suddenly saw that
the load stayed at 38% and I started to experience this issue.
That makes me think of a component failure. Likely the battery, but
conceivably something in the laptop.
Kind regards,
Daniel
