Weird Battery Times and Percentages (Acer Nitro 5, AN515-53)

RussellFS

I've had this problem over the years, I just didn't think to ask anyone about it. Whenever I use the internet or game, I check my battery status on the bottom right side of the screen to see how much power I have left, just like everyone else. The problem is that when I checked my status, it would always show me wild times that weren't accurate. One time I was at 68% with 1 hour and 51 minutes left, which seems correct, but then I'm at 65% with 1 hour and 54 minutes left. As of writing this, I'm looking at 62% with 4 hours and 35 minutes. Is there a way to fix this? I'm using an Acer Nitro 5, AN515-53 if that helps.

Hi @RussellFS do a battery calibration so that Windows can give reliable data about the battery again, the calibration is simply charging the battery to 100% and discharging it very slowly, without consumption, closing applications in the background and turning off wifi and BT, charging at the end the battery is at 100% again, the process may take a few hours.
You can also have the calibration done by Acer Care Center:

All the best.
