I have a brand new battery installed on my XPS 15 9570. When running on battery, the computer shuts off abruptly (hardware shutoff) at about 80% full battery.
The answer depends on whether the system has the (optional at purchase) Thunderbolt 3 port. Full compatibility with that dock requires at thunderbolt port.
Otherwise, it should work even without one, but at lower speed and with a reduced set of features.
My battery used to charge at 100%. Few days age, I noticed it dropped to 80% and remains unchanged. Also the adaptor signal light on the laptop disappear. So, I did the following:
1. I updated Microsoft ACPI
2. I uninstalled adapter and reboot the system
3. I extracted battery report
4. Besides I did run SFC scan as well as DSIM
As you might heard it before, since I plugged my laptop all the times, what is the benefit of the battery? It must be some benefits I am not aware of.
