Running a Gigabyte U4UD, been having battery problems for months now, and the battery health only reports 50% capacity. Started playing Battlefront and got distracted and saw my battery looks like this now. Been doing this for 15 min, so either my battery is magical… or the Clevo design is flawed. Seeing how long she goes for on battery before it just dies.
I am not looking for tech support, just thought this would be funny.
Nah, she’s toast. Ran multiple distros, and the same problem persisted across Fedora, Arch, and Ubuntu. It’s also an Intel machine, and I’ve been eyeing a Framework with AMD. Which is why I’ve stated I am not looking for tech support.
I must warn you of the dangers of pushing batteries in a failure state like this though; Lithium batteries can sometimes fail in explosive ways.
Keep an eye on the thermals and don’t let it expand or pop on you.
no pain no gain
