Laptop battery - hard shut down without warning
by andrewysk from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5CW8B)
Endeavouros-Plasma
MSI GP60 Leopard
My battery indicator indicated there are 20% battery left in laptop. When i close the lid and reopen the lid, it said 40% of battery left (even when i was not charging it).
I used for a few minutes.. and the laptop just did a hard power off without any warning.
I have set in power management to have critical action at 20%... it seems that is totally useless.
Any idea how to solve the issue ? is there way to calibrate the battery or something ?
thx
