Won't boot in the morning on battery

Project Discussion
1

This is weird. I’m not sure what’s happening to my laptop. It seems its battery is suffering a little bit, because it doesn’t seem to be able to charge above 75%. However, it does charge until that. After some time plugged to power, it is able to charge up to 100% as expected. But in the mornings, battery is not 100% even if it was properly powered off and had nothing attached to it.

STR:

  1. Use my laptop, plugged, yesterday evening.
  2. Power off.
  3. Unplug.
  4. Go to sleep.
  5. Pick it up this morning, power on.

Results:

  • GRUB loads fine.
  • While booting, the laptop shuts down before the LUKS decryption password dialog appears.

Workaround:

  1. Plug the computer.
  2. Power on.

However, when you do that:

  • You can now unplug and keep on working. It won’t power off in seconds.
  • You can shut down and boot up again, without plugging.

Sooo… I think there might be some battery problem, but that’s weird because the computer still doesn’t have 1 year of age. And also, if it were without battery, not even GRUB would load, and plugging the laptop for 1 minute would fix nothing.

I’m very confused… Did this happen to anybody? Any ideas on how to fix it?

I checked out journalctl --list-boots and the 2 boots that got shut down this morning aren’t even listed.
