HP Dragonfly Folio 13.5 inch G3 2-in-1 Notebook PC (5A2N5AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

Can anyone get 12 hours of battery life on the Dragonfly Folio? At best, I get three hours, and I'm not plugged into anything, just using the laptop—the brightness is near the lowest. It is so frustrating. Can someone please provide their setting if to achieve the published HP spec?

Hi all, an update for everyone. I have spoken to HP Support. The HP published battery life of "13 hours and 55 minutes" was achieved by leaving the PC on and not using it, which was confirmed by the support personnel. Three hours is the target in the ordinary course of business use. So, take all marketing with a grain of salt,

 

It took the HP Support Agent an hour with me to go through my settings, download new drivers, optimize the battery and reboot only to confirm that the notebook was performing as expected. After pressing for him to inquire about how to achieve the published 13+ hours, leave it on and let the battery drain until dead!

 

HP, if you're reading this, be honest and set the right expectations.
