    Hello all..

    I have a problem with my battery. It worn out so fast.
    Usually I can ran my notebook 4 hours before it need to charge.
    But now the battery have only 1 hour or less lifetime.

    My notebook not used in 70+ days before. Because my ac adapter catch fire and blow up.
    I'm still using the battery untill it only 7-10% capacity, then I remove the battery. And I did not use it after I buy new ac adapter which is almost 3 month after the original one blow up. The new one have same input with the original but different output. The new one have 20V and 3.25A output. and the original one have 20V and 4.5A output (if I still remember it correctly)
    Am I telling the story good enough? my english bad, sorry.

    My notebook is Lenovo b490
    2gb ram
    i3 intel 3110M (4 core) 2.4ghz
    its 3 years old.

    Batteries are best stored at 50-80% in a cool temperature. You can check battery wear with hwmonitor or battery bar.

    The battery is three years old. It can go at any time.
