Battery Issues

[Tahjae]

I have an OMEN 17t laptop. We all know gaming laptop batteries are not the best, but nowadays, my laptop charges to full extremely quickly and dies within an hour. This wasn't the case like a month ago. My battery percentage will be at like 20% then laptop will abruptly shutdown. I have checked my powerplans to make sure that they are not causing the abrupt shutdown. Could you guys give me a fix for this issue please.

Hello @Tahjae

Its not discharging at a fast rate while turned off also is it?

I would guess its just getting at its end of life already.

Are you still under warranty? If so, perhaps HP will exchange batteries?

No it does not discharge at a fast rate when turned off. I'm thinking some drivers or some software issue is making it behave this way. As i said, it's only been behaving like this since for a month or so. I tried checking for battery driver updates and so on but they don't solve the problem.

OK thanks. There are no battery drivers to download that I know of.

Have you ran the UEFI Diagnostics to see if the tests show its failing?

F2 at power-on will access the menu. Go to Component tests and then Power.

Dont test from inside Windows, use the F2 menu.
