Laptop shuts down immediately when power cord is removed

[GoalieRon]

For a month or so the laptop would shut off after some minutes of the power cord being unplugged. The battery was always at least 50% charged when I rebooted. Now, the laptop immediately shuts down when the power cord is unplugged. Also, even with the cord in the laptop reports the level at a constant 92% and charging.

Hi,

Most likely the battery has failed. I usually replace the batteries in my notebooks every 18-24 months. You can perform a battery check.

The part number for the battery is 807956-001

You can search online with part number and find a quality compatible battery

I should have mentioned, I did run the HP self diagnostic and it said the battery was ok. But I'm leaning toward the battery, I just can't find the part number! There are so many different #s on the battery! 

BTW thanks for the quick reply!!
