Why is the battery dead inspite of the full charge the previous day?
Batteries can and do fail for all kinds of reasons. Although most laptop users get "a year or two" out their batteries, some last noticeably longer, and a few die in much less time. I don't know if it's strictly a bell curve, but it's that sort of principle: A variance (quite a bit of variance) around an average.
The most likely explanation here is that your battery has developed a weak cell. This can happen even with relatively new batteries after very little use, particularly if the laptop's configuration is such that the battery is kept warm by the rest of the laptop.
The only practical cure is to replace the battery. Since your laptop is only nine months old, it may be covered by warranty.
It is possible that the charge management hardware in your laptop is at fault, and is thinking "the battery is charged" and stopping charging when it is not really charged. This would clearly be a warranty issue too.
In any case the only way to diagnose it is to try a different battery.
Sorry about that, but it happens.
n.b.: "Battery test" software can measure the battery's runtime, but can't tell you why the runtime is short. i.e. whether it's a bad battery or a bad charging circuit.
How to check your laptop battery health in Windows 7 By: Arie Slob
Windows 7 includes a new command that shows you a lot of details on its power usage & settings and helps you troubleshoot power issues (like Windows 7 waking up unexpectedly when you've put it in Sleep mode).
This command also shows you some detailed information about your laptop's battery, including its design capacity and the last full charge. With this data you can calculate how much (percentage-wise) your battery has deteriorated over time. Let's have a look:
- Click Start button and type cmd in Search programs and files box
- Right click on cmd.exe listed at the top of the Start menu and click Run as administrator
- In the command prompt type cd %userprofile%/Desktop and press Enter
Next type powercfg -energy in the command prompt and press Enter
powercfg will enable a trace for 60 seconds. If you want to use it for more information than just the battery details, make sure no other processes are running during that time
powercfg -energy command prompt
When finished, powercfg will generate a report (in html format) which shows errors, warnings etc. Since we directed the command prompt to your desktop, the report will be placed on your desktop as energy-report.html. Just open the report in your web browser & scroll down to the Battery Information section.
powercfg -energy Battery Information
Above are two samples. On the left is a relatively new battery (a few months old). As you can see, the last full charge is only some 5.5% below the design capacity.
On the right is an old battery (around 4 years old) which shows that the last full charge was nearly 40% below the design capacity. From experience I know that this battery will only last a few months more. I've had a battery fail a few months after it tested 45% below its design capacity. I recently did a 'stress test' on this battery (which will show you the minimum time you can expect while running the laptop at 'full power'), and it only managed 36 minutes. Compare that with 125 minutes for the new battery.
