    buy a new laptop or replace the laptop battery ?

    My laptop normally dies after 1 hour but it needs to always plugged in to get best performance. Its an gaming laptop so maybe thats why? I could never use it unplugged for some reason. (I choose 80% max battery rathen than 100% or 60%.)
    But I choose to replace it after the health of battery went down 50% and some stuff started malfunction. (Like bluetooth etc) Now I see a huge difference in performance.

    should I buy a new laptop or replace the laptop battery ?

      If all is fine if you plug it in and remove the battery, a new battery might very well help.
      If your issues continue then, it seems time for a new laptop.

      I don’t replace many. Why?

      Gaming laptops are best left plugged in and the battery is there for when we want to move from here to there and not restart.

      The problems you listed seem UNRELATED to the battery so unless the battery is SWOLLEN I’d shop for a new laptop.
      You omitted make, model, age so any gamer laptop past a few years is usually past its prime. Repairs are often more than replacement here.

      Can I claim a warranty for this problem from where I purchased it online?

        Every laptop has a warranty claim period with a specific time limit. When did you purchase this laptop and from where? You will need to check their claim policy for this. If it’s been many years since you bought the laptop, then it might not be eligible for a warranty claim. This is usually the case.
