Battery issue

[Muzi919]

Sometimes when I plug in the charger after waking up and powering on the laptop for work, the charging light starts blinking. I leave it below or on 20% the night before and shut it down, and then I press the power button to completely shut it down, draining the power from the capacitor, and then I plug it in. The charging occurs normally, but then suddenly its at 100%.

Hi @Muzi919, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
The blinking charging light and sudden jump to 100% charge could indicate one of the following issues:

Possible Causes & Solutions:

1. Battery Calibration Issue

Your laptop battery may not be reporting its actual charge level correctly.
Solution:

• Perform a battery calibration:
  1. Charge the laptop to 100% and keep it plugged in for 2 hours.
  2. Unplug and use the laptop until it shuts down due to low battery.
  3. Leave it off for 2-3 hours.
  4. Plug it in and charge it to 100% without turning it on.

2. Power Management Bug (Windows 11)

Windows sometimes misreads the battery percentage due to driver issues.
Solution:

• Update the BIOS & battery drivers from HP Support Assistant or HP’s website.
• Run "powercfg /batteryreport" in Command Prompt (as administrator) and check if the battery report shows sudden jumps.

3. Battery Hardware Issue

If the laptop is over a year old, the battery may be aging or defective.
Solution:

• Run HP’s built-in Battery Check from HP Support Assistant.

4. Charger or Charging Circuit Issue

A faulty charger or charging circuit can cause unstable power delivery.
Solution:

• Try a different compatible HP charger.
• Check the charging port for dust/debris.
• If possible, test with another Victus laptop’s charger.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
