Acer Aspire E5-575G-52DA High Battery Wear Level

clarkiee29

I just bought an Acer Aspire E5-575G-52DA exactly a week ago, then I installed a software called HWMonitor to check the temps whenever I finished gaming, and yesterday, I've checked that the battery wear level is 11%, which is I think is high for a 6 day old laptop, and now, it became 12%, as if everytime I charge the laptop, it decreases 300-400 mWh. Is this normal for a week old laptop? Or is this a manufacturing defect? I charge the laptop 1-2 times a day.

Hi,

Try a battery calibration to see whether the wear level reporting is accurate, the instructions are in the middle of this link:https://www.howtogeek.com/172271/how-to-calibrate-your-laptops-battery-for-accurate-battery-life-estimates/

I did it today and the wear level went down from 12% to 7%, but is that still high? Considering that this is an almost 2 week old laptop. Thanks!

Hi,

Try recharging whenever possible, don't let the battery discharge completely , keep monitoring the wear level, I think after few cycles it will be fine.
