How come the battery life is so low bud?

How come the battery life is so low bud?

Maybe due to the fact that it is almost 13 years old now...

Released in late 2010, the G53JW-A1 is part of Asus' Republic of Gamers G-series gaming laptops

That is... unfortunately correct 😬Any takers for this relic? This was my bro's old gaming laptop- according to old reviews battery life was never much more than 2hrs, so it's little but 'okay' in terms of original capacity
