Question Laptop battery goes to 6%, then keeps working fine for hours

[sentenced06]

Hey guys, as the title says my laptop's (Thinkpad L460) battery is behaving in a weird way, it's discharging from 100% to 6% when unplugged, normally, it lasts for 3 hours at least, but then it's stuck on 6% and keeps working despite "your battery is running low" notification for 2-3 hours more. Depends on the load, while watching twitch/youtube it lasts less (3-4 hours in general), when idle or doing some light work it lasts for 5-7 hours. It charges back to 100% normally in ~2 hours, as it should be.

I tried recalibrating the battery via Vattage app, charging-overcharging it fully for few times, setting BIOS on default, resetting BIOS CMOS battery, installing W10/Ubuntu, nothing really helped, or it just helped a bit with "real" battery life display, but it's still the same behavior (battery goes down to 6% or 2% and then laptop keeps working for hours while being in "low battery" mode).

What can it be then? I wanted to swap the battery, but what if it's faulty charger, or MoBo on laptop itselfor anything else? I can't tell if this battery is genuine or fake, maybe you guys help me with that as well.

After posting this ive actually realised ive never tried another charger, only default Lenovo one, so I tried baseus 65w + adapter i had lying around, and started recalibrating thing again, it's been 5 hours and it still shows 20% battery (laptop is discharging itself, it's like step 1/3 of recalibration in Vattage), so it's a progress I guess? 😀
