Alienware 15r2
Hi
I've bought Alienware 15r2 on december 2015.
I have an issue with battery:
It holds charge only 2 hours. During this time I don't play games only surf in the internet (I read text)
But it's said that it would hold charge for 5 hours on different forums
Is it battery issue?
Thanks

Hi EUGENE1988,
Do you use the system only to surf the internet? Do you watch any online videos? What is the battery specification on the system? Are you using the original Dell OEM adapter?
Update the BIOS - http://dell.to/2c1X01r- this was recently released.
Restart the system and press f2 on startup to enter BIOS - check the adapter status and the battery health in BIOS (if applicable).
Restart the system and press f12 key on startup - choose diagnostics. Let it run the diags and if you encounter any errors - make a note of the complete error and report the same to us.
Also, run a custom test through Support Assist - http://dell.to/1NEc1Y4
When you purchased the system, during the first few months, how much backup did you happen to get?
If the system is under warranty, Please click my DELL-username and write me a private conversation with the service tag and your contact details(Name and Email). If there is no warranty, then you could contact our team to get a quote for a paid service call - http://dell.to/1vnT6CQ
Keep us updated.
