@Anandh_Azh,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Please help me with the product number for your computer to check the battery specifications.

 

Meanwhile, I would like to inform you that the battery performance depends on many factors like display brightness, wireless connectivity etc.

 

I recommend you follow the steps in the below article to improve the battery performance.

8 hours is excellent. 7 hours is very very good. How much did you expect to get? Note that marketing claims about battery life are always phrased as "up to xx hours" and then a footnote which hedges a lot so don't tell me some website promised 13 hours.
