It seems like after updating to 10.13 my battery is draining quick... I'm losing between 1-2% a minute...But, what I don't know is if it's a configuration issue or my actual battery.

The battery is about 4 months old, but isn't an "official" asus battery, just a random branded battery off of amazon (with high ratings and good reviews). MacOS is showing "Service Battery" when i click the battery icon, but i have no idea if that actually works with hacks as I don't think i've ever clicked the battery icon before.

I have included my problem reporting files, I am pretty sure I've checked for the common things such as X86PlatformPlugin in ioreg, but perhaps someone can see something I've missed?

Or maybe it's simply my battery...

Your battery MaxCapacity is 70% of DesignCapacity.
That's not horrible, but not what you expect from a new battery.
You might look at Activity Monitor to see if there are processes using CPU...
And compare against Windows.
