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..

If you have a volt meter you can see if your battery is actually dishing out 12v

Unless its a shit to get into

I do, but I ordered a new battery, as that is slightly less work than getting my voltmeter from the garage

True! My front door, where packages get dropped, is half the distance from my room to the garage. Even tho low IQ, I try to be efficient.
