@manu_bhaiya00, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 

I understand that your Victus by HP Gaming Laptop 15-fa1xxx is experiencing reduced battery life from around 7 hours previously to just 3 hours now. Let’s work through some steps to help improve your battery performance.

Check Battery Health

1. Press F2 while starting your laptop to enter HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI.
2. Select Component Tests > Power > Battery.
3. Run the Battery Check and note the results.

Alternatively, you can use HP Support Assistant:

• Download or open it from here: HP Support Assistant
• Go to Battery Check under the Battery tab.

If the battery status shows “Replace,” it may be time for a battery replacement.

Update BIOS and Drivers

Outdated BIOS or drivers can affect power management.

1. Visit the HP Software and Driver Downloads.
2. Enter your product: Victus by HP 15-fa1000 (9P833AV)
3. Download and install the latest:
   • BIOS
   • Chipset drivers
   • Graphics drivers
   • HP System Event Utility

Optimize Battery Settings

Windows 10 has built-in tools to help extend battery life.

• Go to Settings > System > Power & sleep > Additional power settings
• Select HP Recommended or Power Saver plan.
• Under Battery settings, enable Battery Saver mode when battery is below 20%.

Also, reduce screen brightness and close background apps when not needed.

Check Background Processes

Too many apps running in the background can drain your battery.

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager
• Go to the Startup tab and disable unnecessary apps
• Under Processes, check for high CPU/GPU usage apps and close them if not needed

Calibrate the Battery (Optional)

Battery calibration can help the system better estimate battery life.

1. Charge the battery to 100%, then let it discharge completely until the laptop shuts down.
2. Recharge it to 100% without interruption.
