“Based on the "15ARP10" in the post title it seems to be this [https://psref.lenovo.com/Product/IdeaPad/IdeaPad\_Slim\_5\_15ARP10](https://psref.lenovo.com/Product/IdeaPad/IdeaPad_Slim_5_15ARP10) so it appears to have come out Sep 2024 at the earliest. Seems to just be a very premature battery problem.”
