Laptop battery discharging faster

[agroni112]

Hi,
I have a ProBook 4520s with this configuration:



About 3 days ago it was keeping the battery for 2hr + watching videos, now from yesterday it can't keep more than 1:30 hr.

And here are the battery details:


How could it drop the capacity this fast (1day) , or this is normal (to drop within 1 day), as i haven't touched anything even i reinstalled OS yesterday but still no effect ?
And is there any solution to make it as before 3 days (except buying a new battery), maybe its a silly question but i never had a problem like this before.

[accyuklad]

it all depends on how old battery and if its used alot my sister as a 4yr old laptop and shes had 3 batterys as they dont last long and now its finally knacked and no more repairs as warranty gone

don't run too many application while on battery just run important applications and close unwanted apps. Also switch windows power management setting to power saving mode.

@ accyuklad its a year and a month old probably a little more.
@ 18folder yes i close all unwanted apps, installed an app that automatically dims the display switches to classic themes, but still same..

@torrfriend i've already done them, but the capacity is dropped now , so probably: cfs5403 was right (its normal).. anyway thanks for your replies.
