Battery health may be estimated from output of

by comparison energy-full-design, energy-full, and other values.
I still believe it is excessively aggressive power settings in GNOME or
in firmware (BIOS) setup. Maybe it is result of shooting own foot by
tools like powertop or tlp. Anyway it is rather wrong settings than
wrong behavior. There is a chance that the issue is with USB controller
driver. Likely it is better to ask the same question in a user group
more specific to power management.
