Hi @Surya1211,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Battery Health Considerations for OMEN by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

Try these steps:

Calibrate the Battery:

• Battery calibration can help the laptop display accurate battery percentage. You can do this by fully charging the battery, then allowing it to discharge completely, and charging it again without interruption.

Check for Battery Usage Patterns:

• Assess how you use your battery. Frequent full discharges and recharges can wear out the battery faster. Try to maintain a charge between 20% and 80% to prolong battery life.

Update System BIOS and Drivers:

• Make sure your system BIOS and drivers are up to date. Go to the HP Support website and search for your specific model to find any available updates for your device.

Use Battery Health Tools:

• Utilize tools like the HP Support Assistant, which may have battery checks to monitor and maintain the battery’s condition. This tool can provide diagnostics and potential solutions.

Monitor Temperature:

• Excessive heat can negatively affect battery health. Ensure that your laptop's cooling system is functioning properly by cleaning any dust from vents and ensuring adequate airflow during gaming sessions.

Battery Care Tips:

• Avoid leaving the laptop plugged in all the time when not necessary, and use the HP OMEN Command Center if available, which might have additional battery management features.

I hope this helps.
