I'll accept your answer if you answer me this one. Is electronic engineering questions outside the scope of this forum?– Clint William TheronCommented Jun 12 at 0:52

14 years is pretty old for a battery. Many batteries last longer than that, even given the same usage patterns you describe, but plenty do not. Batteries are often warrantied for as little as 6 or 9 months past their manufacture date, NOT the computer ship date. The proper path for computer repair is to start with the obvious, weighted for ease and cost of replacement. The battery is the thing to start with. There is already an Electrical Engineering sister site, and you're free to present your question there. They may approach the issue in a way more to your liking.– music2myearCommented Jun 12 at 14:14

``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
