Laptop not keeping battery charge

    Have a laptop bout 2 and half years and was fine up til a few months ago. It's fine once I have it plugged in but once I unplug it the remaining battery power, no matter how high, drains in about 10 minutes. I could have it fully charged and it will be down to 5% within 10-15 minutes. Any ideas what's wrong and how I might fix this?

    Get a new battery.

    They have a limited life span, normally around a year depending on use.

    Unfortunately this battery is pretty much dead. 2 and a half years is a hell of a lot of recharge/discharge cycles which is what a li-ion battery is rated on.

    Only thing to do is replace unfortunately.
