Most laptop batteries only last a year or two. When they start to wear out and drain really fast.

1. This does not belong in this section. It belongs in off topic discussion.

2. What kind of laptop do you have?

 

Most laptop batteries (as @blackopspaul said) only lastt 1-2 years. If you laptop is new and still has a warranty they should cover that.

I bought this laptop like a year ago...

No, warranty gone.

Second take into account various things that put strain on the battery. Wi-Fi, bluetooth, screen brightness, activity, hard drives, disc drives, cpu intensive operations. What are you doing when your battery drains "fast?"

 

Most battery's have a guarantee for 2 years or so, You could bring it the your manufacturer see if they can service it (change the battery, put a newer one in)

 

Also look at "Start up applications"  and look at the task manager for applications performing back ground applications.

I looked it up most batteries for you laptop only have a warranty for about a year.

Also calibrate the battery. Go to Power settings in Power management in Control Panel, Disable sleep mode and hibernate mode and charge and discharge battery. Make sure it should not auto shutdown, hibernate before it reach zero percent. 

 

If the battery is user-replaceable, ensure that the metal contacts of the battery and the laptop are clean.

Mine has a battery warranty for 2.5 years. In Ireland most laptops sold come with good warrantys for a good bit of a period.

Sorry I am not familiar with that, can you please show me pics? I am in windows 8

Here's a guide:

 

 

1. Go to control panel:
2. Go to hardware and sounds.
3. Go to power options.

Send it to the experts I mean where you bought the laptop.

This issue is not within our boundaries. If it is something you find to be a pressing issue you might consider contacting a computer shop, or perhaps some online step-by-step guide on how to conserve laptop battery. You may also want to use the Task Manager function on Windows laptops. I believe a new system was implemented with the release of Windows 8 where every program you close, actually remains open running at a lower level. If you open Task Manager, and end these unneeded tasks, that may help as well. (Task Manager - ctrl+alt+delete.)
