Battery wear-out level in recently purchased E5-575G

Earthling

Hello, checking the wear out percentage of my newly bought laptop I have found out that is already 7.9%, is this normal?

 

Tha's the level when I checked the first day, without any cycle done, and also after 3 full charges/discharges. It barely lasts 4 hours on battery.

 

I obtained this data with 'HWiNFO64'

I have checked mine, after a months usage it shows 0% wear level and on another laptop, after 2years it shows 5.1% wear level, as you said it's a new laptop, you should get in touch with the retailer and see whether you could get a replacement laptop. It could be a manufacturing fault and can not say how it would fare in the future.

Thank you for your reply. I was wishing that the wear out level is a kind of a mechanism that the computer uses to deceive the OS and avoid charging up to 100%, so that avoiding degrade in the battery..

 

But if is not like that I'm afraid I'll need to exchange it
