Reduced battery life on Samsung PC

Does it feel like your battery charge's duration isn't as much as it used to be? If the battery just doesn't feel like it lasts that long anymore, don't lose hope. A function called Smart Battery Calibration can help reset your battery's performance and recalibrate its minimum and maximum charge so you can keep using it to its current maximum capacity.
