Hi,
I have an Optimus laptop, about 18 months old, Win 7. A couple of weeks ago it suddenly started having a battery problem. When charging, it would get to about 70%, then just stop. The battery icon in the system tray would still say 'plugged in, charging' and the charging light is on, but it wouldn't go any higher than around 70%. Also, the battery would discharge normally until about 20%, then suddenly drop to under 10% in a matter of a couple of minutes. It seems to be getting worse - now it only charges to about 45-55%.
I expect battery life to drop off over time, but this seems unusual with the way it is so sudden and the way Windows is still telling me it is charging.
Any ideas what is wrong with it?
