If you use the laptop a lot the time may be less. Batteries need to be conditioned at least once a month with a complete discharge and then a full charge to help the batteries stay healthy. Running the laptop on both the AC/DC adapter with the battery inserted will quickly drain the battery life from the battery and it will not last as long. You can try to let the battery drain a little bit more and then try a full charge without using the laptop and see if something kicks in. If you do not getting a better reading, it sounds like the battery is dead. If you purchase a new battery, be sure to conduct a full charge and discharge 2-3 times before using regularly. This will help initiate those battery cells to work at full capacity. Remember to condition at least once a month as mentioned above, remove the battery whenever using the AC/DC power and set your laptop on battery save mode when in use. Also, your battery run-time will vary daily depending on what you are running on the computer. WiFi and video streaming use up a lot of battery watt hours compared to having only your OS on. Recommend using AC/DC for WiFi and video streaming when you can. More battery tips: You can expect to get 500-800 charging cycle or 18-24 months. If you use the laptop a lot the time may be less.
