You have a blown power sensor (tpop) the rest of the error details facts about the error (the last number tells how much out of range it is),

Any sensor faiure makes the fans run at full speed by default in order to keep from cooking the CPU. With the fans using up all that energy your battery life will be shortened.

The sensor must be repaired/replaced (not a DIY sort of project) OR the logic board can be replaced (an advanced DIY project) not the first one I'd start with - you basically have to completely dismantle then reassemble the entire laptop.
