I ran HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) main menu
Received the following message:
The battery is functioning correctly, but it needs to be calibrated. You will experience shorter battery life between charges if the battery is not calibrated.
I continued with '"Calibrate Now" . Program ran for more than 2 hours
Still receive notice to calibrate the battery. What can I do to calibrate the battery?
Solved! Go to Solution.

I have an original battery. I found other information which worked.
This is what I did and it worked:
1) Open the windows device manager and uninstall the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery"
- Right click on "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery"
- Click "Uninstall device"
- Confirm your choice if you see a popup notification
(2) Shutdown your notebook/computer
(3) Remove battery, remove ac adapter, press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.
(Note: If do not have the technical skills to remove the battery (most notebook has to be diassembled !) , just start the notebook and go directly into the bios (ESC/F1/F2/F10) and let the notebook stay there or run HP Diagnostic Test loops to drain the battery (don't connect the AC adapter !) until it is switching off automatically
(4) Install battery, plugin ac adapter and wait until the battery is fully charged (don't start the windows operating system !) and check the charging led.
(5) If you do have no charging led, wait at least 2 hours ...
(6) Start your notebook/computer, now the windows battery management system is synchronized with your installed battery. Normally it should show 98-100% battery level.

I have the same issue. Non-HP "compatible" batteries seem particularly prone. If you try 2 or 3 calibrations and it does not resolve the notice you are not going to get it to resolve and you just have to keep using the battery with the notification.

to calibrate the battery, you need to convert the Adaptive Battery Optimizer item in the bios in the Configuration menu to Disabled (it is Enabled by default), when it is turned on, battery protection works, which does not allow charging the battery to real 100%, and this is necessary for calibration
