Battery Dying at 60%!

[davidbuza]

Hi everyone! I have an ASUS PRO P ESSENTIAL bough almost one and a half year ago, and I have a problem with its battery. When I'm working on my computer using my laptop battery only,once the laptop reaches 50% - 60% it shuts down instantly, without any warning at all. This happens even though the computer says I have another 2 hours to play around with the computer. I made a little research on the internet about this, and people say that the problem isn't the battery, but the hardware... I don't know which part of the computer is responsible to this but I wanna mention that the laptop warns me to change the battery, saying it has a sort of problem so my computer might suddenly shut down... I don't know should I believe that or not...
I hope the reason isn't the battery because I have to buy another one, cause my warranty expired...
Please help me guys!!!
Thank you!

Hello David,

This is not likely, but double check your advanced power settings to see what is set for Battery like below. If one of the "level" settings was set to 50-60% and its "action" was set to "Shutdown" without "Low battery notification" turned on, this could be a possible reason.



In addition, you can run a Power Efficiency Diagnostics Report to see what it reports for your battery's health.

Do you have all the latest drivers installed from Asus for your model?

I have already checked the battery options, and none of these are set to shut down at 60%...

I forgot to mention, after the laptop shuts down by itself, when I try to POWER ON, there appears a black screen saying: "Repair Computer" and "Start Windows Normally"

That sounds like a recovery screen you would get after an improper shutdown.

This could be a sign of the battery failing.

If this doesn't happen while the laptop is plugged in, then it could be the battery.

You could generate a Power Efficiency Diagnostics Report, and see what it shows is left for battery capacity to help get an indication of your battery health.
