I've been having a major issue with my laptop's battery lately. Even though it shows 100% charge, it only works when it's plugged in. If I unplug it, the screen goes dark in about a minute. I've tried reinstalling the battery drivers, but no luck. I ran the battery report through the command prompt, and here are my battery stats. Am I looking at a dead battery here?

It sounds like your battery is failing. Have you tried doing a rundown test? Like, when you unplug it, does it just die immediately?
Definitely check your laptop model. Some models, like the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga, are known for battery issues. If it's failing, you might need a replacement soon.
I’m not sure what a rundown test is exactly, but when I unplug mine, it only lasts a minute before going black.
