3 years is a long time. Your battery lifespan might be over soon, and it is time to get a new battery (or a new laptop!)
However, you should try some of this tips to extend the lifespan of your battery.
1)Make sure you fully charge your battery before using your laptop without power.
2)Compltetly discharge and recharge your battery once every 2-3 weeks. This will help the battery maintain its maximum battery life.
3)When using AC, remove the battery, unless you are charging the battery.
4)For extreme maintenance, consider storing your battery in your fridge sealed in a plastic bag. (That is too extreme for me)
