Set him straight Steve!
 
Good Afternoon Steve! Great to have spares. Sorry about the laptop.
Good Afternoon Tom. I’m going to try to hold off for a bit longer if I can. Seems the battery charge dips (even plugged in) only I’m strewing it by playing games. Normal use seems to hold steady.

That's the name! I was trying to remember the name of the frozen ravioli and manicotti I used to buy back in MA and couldn't remember it. Good stuff.

You might want to check your charger. It sounds like your laptop is capable of drawing more watts than the charger can supply. Check the specs for the charger for your system and on the actual charger. If you bought it used, it may not be the original charger or it may be going bad. If you let it sit, turned off but plugged in does your battery charge eventually increase to at least 80%?
