HP OMEN Laptop 15-en0xxx Poor Battery Performance

[NickC27]

I'm barely getting an hour out of my laptop which is kinda ridiculous. I knew it was a gaming laptop so expected worse battery life but it's basically a desktop. Can't even take it to a cafe to do some basic work without having to immediately find a power plug. Pretty much see it drop 1-2% a minute.

Usually use chrome with 4-5 tabs but that's about it, not watching videos or anything.

Is this normal? If not is there anything else I can try?

Could anyone recommend a battery upgrade for this laptop if they have had a similar issue? It seems this one only comes with 45,460 mWh but I think it should still last longer than it is.

FYI:

There are no updates in the support assistant to be installed and have tried the battery drain although it does that on a regular anyway. I've also selected the integrated graphics as default in Nvidia control panel and manually disable my GPU just to be sure.

Figured it out...

Went into BIOS (F10 on boot) and disabled virtualisation and battery saver. Now I'm getting a fair bit more out of it.
