    I bought MSI 16F2 " Power Pro 11:36 " a year ago , and the battery life was quite good ~ 3 hours and 15 mins or so , but a couple of days ago the battery started behaving worriedly ! its max time now is 2 hours !! I searched the web and download an app called battery care and it says that the max capacity now is 48429 mWh but it was originally 86580 mWh !! and the wear level is 44.06% ! is that possible that in a year the battery wears out 44 % and if its possible the battery started doing this only couple of days ago so has it wore out 44% in a couple of days ?!! I found some opinions saying that I should re-calibrate the battery using BIOS but I have not found that battery options in the BIOS menu " Aptio BIOS " , also I tried discharging the battery and recharging it but it hasn't worked ! :( , also I found MSI battery calibration tool , will it help ? plz I need some help here ! what should I do to fix this issue ?

    do you continuously discharge it to less than 10% everytime you go on battery power?

    You need to swap battery. One year it is good score for 16f2. If you are interested pm me.
