Battery drain fast in HP Pavilion x360 - 14-dh1025tx

Hi there,

I have a one year old HP Pavilion x360 - 14-dh1025tx and I am experiencing very low battery time in my laptop. battery don't last even for more than 2 hrs. My PC is a convertible and I use touch and pencil often. But the work that I do is not very CPU intensive always. I have run the HP hardware disgnostics and the results did not indicate any problem with the battery. Let me know if there is anything that can be done to improve battery life or should I be replacing my battery.

Regards,

You can check the battery to some extent using Powershell built into Windows 10, as follows:
1) Press Windows key + X
2) Click Powershell in the menu
3) Type powercfg /batteryreport

This will generate a report and if you scroll down, you will see Design Capacity and Full Charge Capacity ratings. If the Full Charge Capacity is less than 50% of the Design Capacity, it is faulty and needs to be replaced.

Also note the figure alongside the "Cycle Count". This tells how many times the battery has been fully recharged. A typical battery can handle around 500 charge cycles, but some will fail sooner than that.
