Laptop Battery, Replace or Not?

[KangUsapEmenq]

Got this Acer E5-475G for nearly two years so far and what I faced now is the battery starting to getting weird. Last time, actually just half of hours ago I did write this. It suddenly died at 57%, and can't turn it on until the charger is plugged in. And yes this happened exactly two times already. The first happens on 38%.

 

Yeah, right now, 18% (last time I did saw it) wear level, and I did constant plug it to the wall charger while using it for working, or gaming (but really never leave it charged overnight, I don't want a freaking time bomb in my room). Using the battery when I'm actually outside the house, and sure enough I never game on battery. Ever.

 

So, guys, do I need a battery replacement? For the sake of my other components reliability, as my experience. (I did lose two hard disks on my old Aspire 4253 because of a lot of hard shut down, either by blackout or gotta do it because it hangs. A lot. )

 

How much does it usually priced for the OEM one?

More likely than not that battery is done. While it can be caused by other things, the battery being to old is the most likely cause

Those wear levels indications are not very accurate in my experience.

I'd probably hunt down a replacement

Charge it to 100%.

remove the charger and do light tasks and drain it almost to 0%

Don't plug-in

Try to on it as many times as it possibly can. 

Generally it can go on for over 4-5 times and will stay at 0% 

Do this until it's dead as hell. 

Now while shut down, charge to 100%

 

It should help you but don't do this process regularly. 

 

It's also called battery calibration. If you want Google it first.

Yeah I did calibration few weeks back, but...

That's the problem. Can't run calibration when it can't be turned on at all.

Duly noted, for later on then.
