What happened to my battery?
Yesterday, I installed a new hard drive, and a new OS onto it. Today I'm noticing my battery has a warning about replacing the battery, sudden shutdowns may occur. Now, did I mess something up installing the hard drive or OS (maybe a driver I missed or something)? Or is my timing so good, it just so happens I have to replace my battery?
My battery is plugged in with 95% charged, but it is giving me this warning still.

there are programs that test the battery to give u an indication of the useful life they have left.
this one BatteryOptimizer will produce a report Power efficiency diagnostic report that will give u more info than u want, but this is what is important.
Battery:Battery Information
Battery ID 10041 MSI Corp. MS-1004
Manufacturer MSI Corp.
Serial Number 10041
Chemistry LION
Long Term 1
Design Capacity 63360
Last Full Charge 59227
If Last Full Charge is much lower than Design Capacity it is nearing end of life.
It sounds like u were running on battery and it was near dead which is why it told u to change the battery - it should have given u another option to plug it in.

Normally it warns you about sudden shutting down when the battery is super flat whilst not being plugged into the mains, Was it plugged in and charging?
If not you could have a dead battery, a faulty charger or just a battery that needs a real good charge
