Hi Roberto Strictly, this is off topic here. ChromeOS Flex is ChromeOS for non-Chromebooks. It's a Google product - maybe ask them. A quick search for the ThinkPad Edge from Lenovo: the review I found was from about 2019. It's the cheapest end of the Lenovo range. I see a range of them available second hand online from about £99 - at this point, it is not an expensive laptop.. If it's about five years old - it might be that the original battery has reached the end of its life expectancy. If this is a second hand laptop, then you don't know its previous history: if you've had it from new, it might be time to replace the battery. Since this is ChromeOS, this list can't really help. Install Debian and we could perhaps advise. > Even when the good old laptop is connected to the power supply, the battery > begins discharging after about one hour. > > If I also use an external HDMI monitor, the discharge begins immediately. > Anything in logs? How are you monitoring this? It does suggest either a dying battery or a laptop with a marginal power regulator giving low voltage. > Do any of you have suggestions about solving this mystery ? > The charger is fine when used in another laptop. > All the very best, as ever, Andrew Cater (amaca...@debian.org) > Thank you very much in advance. > Roberto
