Thanks... I should have mentioned the age of the machine first. It’s about two years old now... though, if I had my way, it should still be holding up just fine

My laptop battery capacity has tanked to about 30%... I’m getting maybe 50 minutes of runtime at most. I was having some issues with my charger—it kept cutting in and out—and ever since then, the battery just stopped performing. I’ve since picked up a new charger, but the battery life remains abysmal. Now I’m wondering if there is any way to fix this (though I doubt it, given you can't really restore lost capacity), or if I could buy just the individual galvanic cells inside rather than the entire unit. I opened it up and found six cells; I figured replacing those might be a much cheaper route. Best regards.
