The batteries do have a diminishing lifespan. I’d say its time to get a new battery. Four years is about right for replacement. Sooner I’d say if you’re a heavy battery user.

yea, over time the batter life degrades, so get a new battery and it should be good

I would say yes. A battery only has a life of about 300 charge cycles. The time has come for new one.

Definitely; 10 minutes of charge time per cycle is the last stage until the battery fully dies out. Changing any settings will not help at all; probably give you an extra 30 seconds, but it’s nothing. Good luck!

It is very common for laptop batteries to lose their juice after 2-3 years. A cheap way to find out for sure, is try a refurbished battery. They are only a fraction of the cost. You could even buy 2 and use one for an extra.
