Batteries don’t like not being exercised - if you don’t use it, they don’t last very long.

Have you repasted the CPU and GPU? The power issue sounds like a thermal issue, especially if it’s sudden. I’ve picked up many used systems and 100% of the time I’ve cracked the heatsink off at 4-5 years old, the paste is dead or so close I did myself a favor - espeically if it’s been baking itself at 70-80c due to a lack of maintenance. Being a 900 series GPU tells me it’s probably 3-4 years old and that’s about when it’s close to expiring. Change the thermal paste out and see if it helps. Take the motherboard out after changing the battery and you’ll have access to the thermal paste. The cooling system gets beaten up with games, especially with dead thermal paste and a dust blanket.
