Hi everybody!

I have my Asus ROG G771JW for like 3 years, my battery is broken (it lasts 5 minutes, but no error shown like "please change the battery"). I have lag spikes in every game, is it because of my broken battery?

Also if I remove the battery and play only plugged in to AC is lagging harder than having the battery.
Thank you!
PS: always playing plugged in to AC.

I have the same thing with my Lenovo W model laptop, if I remove the the battery on wall power, in full power mode in BIOS and in Windows, the system is a lot slower than when both battery and wall power are used. I did not spend too much time looking into why exactly, but it is a real thing.

Thanks for the answer
It drives me crazy. This laptop can run lots of games with decent graphic settings. It's running smoothly. But those spikes, I am 90% sure are because of broken battery, or no battery inserted.
Anyway I ordered an aftermarket battery, I will come back after I'll receive it.
Hopefully will have an answer for this issue.
