Asus Rog Strix Scar II GL504GM - Battery to zero 0%

Marioss
Level 7
Hello,

I have Asus Rog Strix Scar II GL504GM, the issue im running into is about the battery. When my battery is below 50% (more or less) and the laptop is off, when i power it on, and it is NOT with charger on, it starts normally and when i see the log in screen, i see the battery on the down right corner on the percentage that it was before i shut it down, and sudenly goes to 0 and shuts down. And when i power it on again (with charger this time), it is 0%.

It is not draining when i shut it off, because this can be happen also if it is 50%, i shut it, and turn it on again after 15 minuts for example, so it is not drainage, also i see the percentage of the battery i had before i shuted, at least for 1 sec, so for a weird reason it remembers the % but then it goes to 0 and shuts it imediately. If it passes this second, and it not turned off, then its is ok, so sometimes it turns off, sometimes it waits for me to login as a normal boot procedure.

I have All latest windows updates, i have latest bios update 310, i am really really carefull with the laptop, not stress it, not force it, etc. I tried the tips i read on internet about fast boot, from computer or from bios or both, unistalled the Intel rapid storrage also that i read is not helping for that, also "delete" the battery from device manager so it installs its drivers again when it boots, still didnt help. The laptop is about 8 months new with extreme careful useage, and good battery charging.

Except this, the battery working fine, and this is happening once every 2-3 boots, sometimes on every boot, this is never happend when my battery was 100% charged on the last shutdown. I dont know i feel it is software issue not hardware/battery issue because it happens only sometimes not always. So guys did anyone had this issue before? can you suggest something to try? Thank tou in advance.

Hi, I received the laptop from the service (the second time, the first time the motherboard was replaced) and the battery was replaced. For now, the problem does not appear. I hope it's resolved. I will continue to follow the forum and I will keep you updated on the evolution.


Thanks for the update.
Hope it is solved for you... did they tell what the problem was?

they told me that in advanced tests the battery shows excessive wear and needs to be replaced ... I didn't understand the reason for replacing the motherboard if after the replacement the problem persists.

this is not entirely true, issue is related on firmware updates. I've always charge my laptop up to 60% using MY ASUS battery software. there is a bug that the wear is 12% to 50% depend on the charge

Hi, I found a "solution" to this problem and I think it can be useful to let you know in order to fix this at a software level.
The problem (at least in my case but I think we're all in the same situation) is software related and I managed to "solve" it doing this: starting with the laptop at a battery percentage that causes the problem, e.g. 60%, I unplug it from AC and then go in MyAsus app and switch back and forth between battery charge modes (e.g. I'm at 60% mode, switch to 100% and then back to 60%), then I can shut the notebook down and boot it up the next morning with the same battery percentage, no more sudden drop to 0% during login.
Clearly this is not a real "solution" but it obviously highlights that the problem is within the software and not in the battery.

Any updates on the battery drain issue? Why hasn't ASUS fixed this already?

Can you confirm that your "solution" still works today?
