Dude, what is with my laptop???

I bought it just a year and half ago, and now it shuts off when the battery gets to 20%. No reminder to charge the battery anymore or anything. What a stupid piece of s**t 😂.

What's going on is probably a combination of:

1. Crappy battery.

2. Not setting your system up to charge only up to about 65%-70%, which is the ideal charge for some of these batteries, otherwise they will overcharge and die quicker.

@Northwest Oh well. If worse comes to worse, I'll just take the battery out and run the computer off of AC power like a desktop. I've done that with every laptop I've had, so far.
