Battery charged up to 99% ,however should discharge this fast in 30 minutes, now at 75% with ac adapter still pluged in to laptop?

How old is the battery?

This sounds typical of an exhausted battery that is (way) beyond the end of its useful life.


Hi Andy:

I purchased laptop 2004 new so the battery 6 years old. But I did not use laptop all of the time.

Best regards,

Ralph Sac
