i charge my laptop battery fully and reboot I hold my laptop on the F10 BIOS screen I disconnect the AC supply and the leave the laptop on - the battery lasts and lasts and lasts like it should for for like 5 hours or so like it should cut to i charge my laptop battery fully and reboot I boot into Windows I disconnect the AC supply and begin to work normally on the laptop The battery lasts just for 3 - 4 minutes and then the laptop powers off What could be the reason behind such anomalous behavior? Is the battery gone or is it to be recalibrated or anything else? Can you folks suggest a good online store that provides reliable battery replacements? Thank you folks at laptop forums
