    Laptop power management
    Hi Guys, I am fairly new to PCs. My laptop internal battery (without main connected) lasts for only 30 minutes or less on full charge. Laptop is less than two yrs old, don't know if I need to do some settings to enable the battery work longer after full charge? Can anybody help? Thanks.

    Your battery may have developed a memory that make it fail to hold a charge. I would replace the battery.
