I installed linux to fix this problem (it did, at the cost of the camera, which stopped working.) Under linux, tho, I've watched my battery max-charge decline 32% in about eighteen months. My theory is that the XPS uses some sort Windows-integrated software to determine when the charge in the battery is critically (=battery-damagingly) low. If there's a firmware or hardware failsafe, it's too generous. Linux lacks this integration, so the laptop chews up its battery instead of going into suspend. My old Linux-running ThinkPad did not do this, IIRC. If I fell asleep with it beside me in bed, it would eventually power down at about 3% charge. Not great, not terrible. Yeah, eyeing the Framework here also.
