Battery drains with AC connected

[Sygno]

Hello.

When I'm playing games, with AC connected, my laptop starts drain the battery very slowly. Is this normal? Since I have my AC connect wasn't supposed to not discharge?

One more thing, is normal that HP's AC block make a noise when connected to power?

Best regards

Hi @Sygno,

Welcome to the HP forums! It is a great way to engage, post questions and find resolutions by working with specialists in the HP community. I understand you are having issues with Battery draining out slowly on your HP Omen laptop. I'll be really happy to assist you with this.

Usually, the battery should not drain while you have the AC adapter connected to the laptop. If it's draining check the battery status on the taskbar it should show (plugged in, charging) If it does not check the outlet if its ON or Off.

Here are couple of things that you can try:

Hi, I have the same problem. when the AC is plugged and I am playing games, the battery loses the charge.

I have another concern that do I have to unpluge the adapter when it is fully charged?

My laptop is OMEN 15.

Hi,

I've contacted HP from my country and they have send me, for free, a charger with 150w. The original charger has only 120w which is power wnough making the batteyr drain when playing even with AC is plugged.

So, I recomend to ask a 150w charger and it might be ok.

You can have the adaptar plugged when it's fully charged. Moreover, you should have it always connect to protect the battery. This type of batteries works with cycles so fewer cycles, better it is.

I thank you again for trying these steps.

To have a better battery life cycle, I suggest you perform calibration time to time.
