From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Some level of self-discharge happens over time with even a disconnected battery, but that does seem greater than expected. I'd suspect hardware issues, to be honest. Batteries are fickle little creatures that deteriorate over time no matter what you do. Maybe it's misreporting the amount of charge left to the OS.
Probably there are problems with the report to the OS because the battery health is marked as 100%, which is a bit strange for a 4yo pc. Do you think this may have something to do with the battery drain?
