Laptop Battery Drains Too Fast

Short unplugged run time can reflect an aging battery, high screen brightness, demanding apps, background activity, or a combination.

We check compatibility and quote parts and shipping before you send your laptop.

What to check at home

Compare run time under a light task with your usual workload. In Windows, a battery report can show design capacity and recent full-charge capacity, though the numbers are estimates. Notice whether charge drops abruptly, the machine shuts down with charge remaining, or the case looks distorted.

When replacement fits

If the battery is worn and a compatible replacement is available, standard replacement labor starts at $79 plus the part and shipping. We need the exact laptop model to identify the right battery and how the case opens. We test recognition and charging after installation; actual run time varies by workload and the rest of the machine.

A visibly swollen battery is different from ordinary wear. Do not press on it or ship the device before discussing the condition and applicable carrier rules with us.
