Battery Issues

Just wanted a second opinion on this. I have a Lenovo y50-70. Battery was at 100% last time I used it, which was on 9/6 and on 9/8 when I booted it was at 62%. The machine is dual booted with Win 10 and Linux Mint. Ive had the machine for at least 2 years. Im thinking the battery is failing. Any way to test that? I was thinking about buying a new battery, but Lenovo says its not user replaceable, even though it looks like it easily plugs in to the mother board with one wire. As I have opened my machine to clean the fans and its looks pretty easy to replace to me. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

So, you're concerned that the battery has gone down 32%? Was the computer off?

Yeah, because I was booted in to Windows for School and booted in to Linux today and it showed 62%. I know for a fact it was at or near 100% the last time I used it.

No because when I started it today it went directly to the boot loader. So it was not running.
