In such cases you should follow the steps as detailed below:

1.Fully discharge the battery by leaving it in the tablet with the power on until the system automatically turns itself off.

2.Connect the AC adaptor to the Micro-USB port of the tablet, and to a wall outlet that is supplying power.

3.Charge the battery until the battery reaches its full capacity.

Repeat these steps two or three times until the battery recovers normal capacity.

Monitoring battery capacity

Remaining battery power can be monitored using the following methods.

Tapping the battery icon on the Windows Taskbar

Via the Battery Status in the Windows Mobility Center window

Please be aware that the actual remaining operating time may differ slightly from the calculated time.

With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery's capacity will gradually decrease. In view of this it will be noted that an often used, older battery will not operate for as long as a new battery even when both are fully charged.
