Default Battery draining power in few seconds

Hello crowd, I've this recent problem with my laptop's battery which is
if I turn on the power in battery mode, the system boots up and
immediately hibernates because battery only holds power for a few
seconds. I think this system update issue because battery is old but it
used to last about half hour. The icon on tray is looking different too
(That's why I suspect this is an updating issue). Do you know a way to
solve this besides buying a new laptop or doing a fresh installation of
system?

Thanks.


Boot an alternative OS and see if the battery subsystem
responds in a similar way ?
