If it helps - today I was using it quite heavily for at least 5 hours without charge.
I'm honestly curious if this was due to its power draw. When it was initially inserted, Manjaro displayed a battery icon that of 66% and charging. I didn't think much of it, because I immediately formatted the drive and booted into CrOS to confirm whether or not it would mount it at boot. Heck, maybe that's what I need to do, boot into CrOS again and see how it charges.

I am running manjaro xfce, and the XFCE power manager shows some info about the battery. Do you have a similar application that you can try looking at?
Also what (if anthing) do you see in dmesg (dmesg ! grep cw2015)?
Have you tried
1. letting the battery run until it's very low.dead and putting back on charger for a few hours
or
2. removing the battery and re-inserting it?
I'm not positive how you can tell whether this is a problem with the battery itself or a reporting problem in the software....
You might want to check out https://www.maketecheasier.com/monitor-l...age-linux/
For leads on some tools that might help you see what is going on.
If you remove the battery and plug in the cables that allow you to use the device without the battery, is everything OK?
I use gnome3, so no, but I'll see if anything similar is available to me.
Looked earlier while discussing it in the IRC, got 66.
I'm going to boot into the emmc tonight and leave it to spend out the battery while I'm out tonight. Hopefully it'll be dead by the time I get home tonight and I can plug it back up before going to bed. I have not opened it up yet (no screwdrivers at work, or space) but I can give that a shot over the weekend.
Thanks for the link! I'll probably spend my free time tomorrow digging into battery reporting software.
