The battery barely lasts an hour and I always have to keep it in charge. School is starting and I only got this laptop last year! My laptop model is an Acer Aspire A317-52. I tried this BIOS software I saw on other websites and it doesn't work for me. If there is another way I'll appreciate it. Thanks.

    It's worth checking for the quick wins first, do you run av? (It's a killer) , and under the battery use report does it flag anything? 


    Whatcha use it for, word processing and the like?

    Hi someonealive,

    Try to do power drain,

    1. Turn OFF the unit.
    2. Unplug the charger. 
    3. At the bottom there will be a tiny pin hole with battery sign close to it take a pin or paper clip and insert into it hold that button for 20-30 seconds. Then turn ON the unit and check.​
