My Battery life have drastically diminished from the advertised 12 hours to about 4 hours. HWMonitor lists battery design capacity as 62160 mWh while current full charge capacity is 54823mWh. Something is drastically wrong. Any suggestions???

    It is normal after time for the capacity of the battery to go down. The advertised battery life can be reached only while the laptop is completely idle, display brightness turned down to minimum and wi-fi turned off.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.

    Okay. I have my screen at 100% when I'm using it. So, what is the normal battery time for continued use?

    This is a review of e5-575g. It is a different model, but the only difference between e5-575 and e5-575g is that e5-575g has dedicated graphics. In video and web browsing battery test, e5-575g uses the Intel HD graphics, so it will perform similar to your laptop.
