ASUS K501L-something laptop. (The K501's are about the same)
I've had it for I think four years, but three years of actual use. The last year I haven't touched it, because the battery started draining insanely quickly. When it was full it would show 80% or something, it would crash from 20% to dead real easy. Basically, long story short the capacity was 30 minutes of normal use and something about its calibration was so off. On top of that it runs really poorly. Doesn't run games like it used to.
So yeah I assumed I needed a new battery. I did replace it. So unless it was a defective battery, what the heck is going on? All I can think of is that at worst, I was clumsy when I opened up the laptop to clean out dust... I did that twice. The worst That could happen is I was so bad and clumsy opening it I damaged something? Yes, on the first time I may have been dumb and exposed the CPU by unscrewing things. I didn't know about thermal paste at the time and simply just screwed the heat sink back on, leaving air bubbles. I fixed that the second time around with proper paste.
But yeah other than that, i don't know what could cause this battery issue. It is a brand new battery, unless it was just somehow defective.
