Running a Gigabyte U4UD, been having battery problems for months now, and the battery health only reports 50% capacity. Started playing Battlefront and got distracted and saw my battery looks like this now. Been doing this for 15 min, so either my battery is magical... or the Clevo design is flawed. Seeing how long she goes for on battery before it just dies.

I am not looking for tech support, just thought this would be funny.

Sometimes it is enough to just drain the battery until OS shuts you down and after that let it charge to 100% with no interruptions (best not using the device at that time)

It may need multiple cycles

doing this about once a month should keep the "OS“ of the device (every device with a rechargeable lithium battery (phones, drills, cars, etc.)) calibrated with the actual SoC (state of charge) of the battery.
