My computer battery drains too fast and doesn't charge when plugged in.

[Nick-yeah]

My laptop battery is draining too fast only giving me around an hour on a full charge. It also doesn't charge when plugged into the A.C adapter. If I turn the laptop off and charge it, it will take hours to get a full charge. 

I have tried many of the troubleshooting options. 

I ran battery check and it says the battery is ok.

I uninstalled battery drivers and reinstalled. 

I updated all drivers including BIOS. 

Nothing seems to be working. 

Thanks
