Windows 10: Sudden battery capacity drop.

Hello, I bought a MSI modern 14 laptop last august. But recently I felt it's battery drainage to be faster than normal so checked for the battery report and found something very strange, its battery capacity had dropped by about 5000 mWh suddenly. Is this normal or should I do something. I have done tried calibration but it's not helping at all.

It's right near the top.




If you had run a battery report when the battery was brand new, you would have seen its Full charge capacity matching its Design capacity. That ratio reduces as the battery gets used. Yours is currently 20034/48944 ≅ 40%

There's no generally-applicable magic number at which the battery is deemed to be too worn out for further use. In your case I think you'd make your decision based on time rather than charge level - it would be when the battery did not last the whole of your journey.

Okay. Since the time I bought this laptop, I had made a setting that windows should remind me whenever there's a 35% battery remaining. Why doesn't it work in these cases?

Your battery has dropped in capacity to 40% of the original designed capacity.

The assumption is that it was of very bad quality in the first place.

The apparent drops from ~50% will be due to further deterioration of the capacity after the most recent calibration point.
Hence no warning as this assumes accurate calibration. It would reach zero capacity at some higher percentage which is what you see.

The solution is to get a new quality battery.
