  • Hi,
    Go to Power options(right click battery icon), click Change plan settings, click Change Advanced power settings, expand Battery, check whether critical battery notification switched on, check whether Critical battery action is not Shut down.

    it did not gave notification this time also and hibernated.
    After switching it on(plugged in) it showed 7% battery again.
    Why battery %age is dropping so rapidly?

  • Hi,
    You could try a battery reset, switch off the laptop, disconnect from mains, follow the instructions in the video, leave the laptop to rest for a while before starting again.

  • It is possible that the battery is unbalanced and therefore the notebook suddenly shuts off by 18%!
    To calibrate the battery, you charge the battery up to 100% with the notebook off; after charging, leave the notebook off for two hours to cool the battery; do this, turn on the notebook and program the notebook to use the high-performance mode and also program so that the screen and the hard disk do not turn off; also program the critical battery level to 1% and the critical battery action to turn off; and low-battery action, put in nothing to do!
    Leave the notebook using only the battery power until it turns itself off!
