Laptop shut down at 57% battery on day one

Hi, I bought a new laptop (Acer Aspire Lite AL15-42P-R6WC) two days ago. On the first day I used it, it came out of the box fully charged at 100%. I used it for about three hours, and according to the battery history, it was still at 57% after the second hour. During the third hour, the battery suddenly dropped to 0% without any warning. I wasn’t doing anything intensive, just browsing social media on Chrome to test it.

The next day, I charged it back to 100%, and it charged quickly. I was able to use it normally. I was on a Discord call through Chrome for about 6 hours and also played Habbo. Even after more than 6 hours of use, the battery only dropped to 19%.

I didn’t go back to the store after what happened on the first day because it was already nighttime, and on the second day I wasn’t feeling well.

Now it’s the third day, and I’m still recovering. Should I still return it to the store tomorrow?
