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..

Simple test is does it work fine plugged in? If yes, it’s the battery, you could test it or just replace it and see of it works better.

Last battery I got for a laptop off Amazon was full of recycled batteries I think. Self drained in a week, only got a couple hours of use. So beware of that…

It's fine plugged in, but cuts off without warning at 70% battery power if unplugged.

Hold be the os shutting down for some reason, may be in settings mis set to wrong percent? Or battery has fault and the voltage just drops off suddenly triggering shutdown.
