Acer aspire 5315-2698 shuts down on battery 100% charged

Fan and cooling grid cleaned temp not an issue.
Battery is 10 months old.
When only running on battery showing 100% charged shuts down within 2-3 minutes.

Welcome to Tom's Hardware Forums!

The battery may have failed and is not capable of holding a charge even though it says 100%. Replace the battery.

Agree, this is probably a battery issue

Acer knows that their Aspire Laptops have battery failures and they still sell them without fixing the problem. The only resolution is to spend your own money shipping the Laptop back to them and wait two weeks to get it back. They know there are problems and they elected to keep shipping faulty product because it's cheaper than fixing it. Acer believes it's cheaper because most people don't understand PC's. DO NOT BUY ACER LAPTOPS!!!
