Hi @mohdafzal40548

Did you calibrate the new battery after you installed it?

Fully charge the battery and then run the laptop until the battery level drops to 10% and then recharge it again to 90%. Do this twice and then check if it holds its charge better.

If still no good it may be a faulty battery.

Was it an OEM battery or just a compatible one?

I would get a new one given the rate of discharge that occurred.

Check if it's a OEM battery.

If it is not then that will be why it keeps going flat, unless it's faulty.
