Battery Draining Quickly - Ran Battery Health Report
In the past 1 - 1.5 weeks I have noticed that my battery is draining much quicker than it used to. I have a Dell XPS 13 that I bought new in July 2018. My battery, up until a week or so ago, was lasting anywhere from 5-8 hours depending on how much I used it throughout the day, now I am lucky if I make it 2.5 hours on a full charge. My laptop is also getting really hot on the bottom just from typing notes on Microsoft Word. I ran a Power Efficiency Diagnostic Report on my laptop to see what I could find out, but I am not exactly sure what to do from there.
I am not sure if this is the best way to share the report, so if I need to share it another way, please let me know!
