I used my laptop every day unplugged then carge at night now it drained with in a half of a day use to it would last all day
 
depends on how old your laptop is and if the tasks you do do need more power than ususal. could be a faulty battery as well.
 
Solution
Batteries degrade over time. My phone used to last all day easy and I just charged it at night. Now I have to top it up around 5.
