I know they don't last forever, but this one is less than a year old and not getting charged more than 2%. How do I find out if it is my battery or my connections on the laptop?

I have a Asus Z71A, which I love. I have it over clocked a bit (1.7 to 2.26) and it runs like a champ......
Currently on AC only tho.

How do I figure out if it's the lap not charging it or the battery gone Kaput!

Advice? Assistance?
Any?
All!

Laptop batterys last around 300 charges give or take. If you use your laptop as a laptop. Then It will last a year or more.

Things you can do. Unplug your battery when not in use. Then charge it a day before.

Discharge yoru battery untel your computer stop and fully recharge it. That might help.

Bad battery.
