Razer Blade 2016 (Late) Power Issue

Hello,
Lately my Blade has been randomly dropping to 0% battery and automatically shutting down. It just did it with the battery percentage around 80%. The laptop suddenly just shuts down with the power indicator going red. When restarted, the power indicator is still red, and after boot the battery percentage reads 0%. After any general amount of time (in this case about 15 minutes) the correct battery percentage comes back. This specific instance was while deleting quite a few files off of OneDrive that were mirrored with the PC, but unless somehow those processes are drawing too much power (which would be super unlikely) that doesn't matter.

Any thoughts? It is not the biggest deal, and only happens on battery, but it is really annoying. No battery bulge after two years. Been happening for over a year.
Thanks!

Hey @NMolargik, have you tried reinstalling the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery? You can find it under the Batteries tab in the Device Manager. Drop me a PM with a link to this thread and your Blade's serial number should you need further assistance.
