HP Spectre 15-ch011dx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, so I bought the HP Spectre less than a month ago, and I have been having an issue. If I fully charge the laptop then unplug it for a day or two the battery percentage drops down to about 92-90%. I fully shut the machine down and it keeps doing it consistently. Is there a software fix for this because it'll be really irritating if there's a battery issue less than a month after purchasing it.

Welcome to HP Forums,  

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,
Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂

 

I see that your experiencing issue with the battery, 
To get the answer to this question, It's totally normal to happen so.

  • Did this happen after a recent window or software update?

While you respond to that, I recommend you to perform the following steps to isolate the issue and arrive at a fix:

 

Let's run the battery test using HP Support Assistant:

  • If you do not have HP Support Assistant, go to the HP Support Assistant website. In the HP Support Assistant page, click Download HP Support Assistant, then follow the on-screen instructions to download and install.

  • If you HP Support Assistant have, make sure you have the latest version. In Windows, open HP Support Assistant, click About, then click Check for latest version.

  1. In Windows, search for and open HP Support Assistant.

  2. Select the My devices tab, then select your PC from the device list.

     HP Support Assistant home screen

  3. Click the Troubleshooting and fixes tab, then select Battery Check.

    Selecting Battery Check

  4. Wait while the battery check completes.

Hi, yeah I've run the diagnostic in HP support already and it says there is no issues. So something must be happening when the device boots up. It's still doing the same thing.
