    Your laptop battery may drain when plugged in due to a faulty charger, software issues, damaged charging port, battery health, or power settings. Try troubleshooting with a different charger and adjusting power settings.

    If the problem persist, it’s is recommended to have the laptop inspected by a technician.
    Laptop batteries are made out of a lithium substance that, over time, will crystalize. The substance is what can be charged and delivers power - any crystalized substance won’t hold a charge anymore and can’t be ‘reconditioned’ without being recycled. Due to the slow crystallization process that affects batteries, the older your battery is, the less charge it will hold. Eventually, your battery won’t keep your laptop powered for more than 1 second without power, even if it shows 100% charged. If your battery is 3–5 years old or older, this is to be expected.

    If your laptop is new (within a year or two) and it’s not holding a charge at all, there is probably something wrong with the battery.

    Since the issue only presents itself when the laptop is set to turbo mode and I'm gaming, I think it's just that the 135W charger does not deliver enough power to the PC, which in turn needs to use the battery
    Battery dropped by 25% during a session today… I set the performance profile and it started to charge again back up.

    135W does not sound like it's enough for the laptop. This is the charger that came with the PC though, not some off brand.

    If you connect a higher wattage power supply to a computer that is functioning well, there will be no adverse effects, and the computer will run just fine.

    A higher wattage indicates greater power capacity. For example, a lightbulb that consumes 100 watts uses more energy than one that consumes only 50 watts. The confusion arises because power supplies are rated in watts based on the maximum power they can provide. This rating doesn't mean they constantly use that amount of power; rather, they can supply that level if the connected device needs it, adjusting as necessary.

    The Nitro ANV15-41 comes with a 135W OEM power supply, while the Nitro ANV16-41 has a 230W OEM power supply. The Nitro ANV16-51 is equipped with even higher wattage options, offering either 230W or 330W power supplies.
