Default Can YOU spot the error?

When I saw this guy,
I wanted to cry.
Don't know why?
Give grammar a try.

If you're on about "its", possessive apostrophes don't apply to "its".

No, "Your" is correct for this context.

That's correct, Ningamer, but that's not the problem.

Isn't the use of the word "useable" kinda redundant?

Oh, I get it.
The correct phrasing should probably be;
"Your battery is reaching the end of its usable lifespan. It will function properly; However, you should consider replacing it soon."

Eeexactly.
The error is the incorrect usage of "however". This word is meant to go at the beginning of a sentence or after a semi-colon, and NOT a conjunction like it was used.

WRONG: I threw the ball, however my friend didn't catch it.
RIGHT: I threw the ball; however, my friend didn't catch it.
OR: I threw the ball. However, my friend didn't catch it.
