Yah I pretty much figured the battery is probably toast at this point. I 
just want to make sure that power management is working before I throw 
parts at it and replace the battery, just to have it do the same thing 
to the new one.

This decrease in life happened quickly but it was in terms of a couple 
of weeks, not a couple of days. I couldn't say how many cycles it's been 
through. I bought the laptop refurbished, and I dont know the condition 
of the battery at that time, other than I got about 2.5 hrs of usage 
from it on windows 10.
