My fren installed Linux Mint on my cheap LP laptop six months ago, it works fine. But since a few days ago, it's shutting down without warning at 70% battery level. Computer is one year old, I only use it casually. How do I run a battery test? I don't have HP Support Assistant downloaded. I have read that other people had same problem, even with replacement battery..

HP laptops are very hit and miss. The current one I have is a i5 6th, it's been purring along since I got it. The one before lasted just out of warranty before a GPU Solder issue killed it, and the one before that had some major internal failure in the first 30 days and the vendor refunded me because they didn't have any more (they all died.)
