Battery drained after a few hours of charging

Question

I seem to have a serious issue. I still have the 'visual indication not moving up after a few ticks' battery charging icon issue. But there is another problem which is way more critical.

I can not find the balance of the charge with the battery from the 2 months after I purchased the laptop.

Yesterday, I charged the battery till it completed. Again, I have launched the laptop this morning and what I notice is 96%.

Most people explained that its acceptable from the point 95% and above but I wonder why the battery is drained "even if I shut the PC down and remove the adapter" before putting it into sleep mode.

Do you know how to cope with this?

Will sleep eventually drain my laptop battery?

Sleep requires an extremely small amount of power. If your laptop battery charge gets critically low while the computer is asleep, Windows automatically puts the laptop into hibernation mode.

Source How Much Battery Life Does Sleep Mode Really Drain?

We measured our portable computers' battery use while sleeping, and with a full shutdown and startup, across a range of thumbnail time periods—one hour, two hours, then four, eight, 12, and, in one test, 24 hours. In all cases, actively open programs were shut down before a sleep or shutdown.

Here is one of the graphs (there are others in the article) showing battery loss over time when sleeping:
