Battery drain too fast and fan is loud

[Tiesh]

Hi,

I bought my laptop 3 weeks ago and the battery drains pretty fast after 2 hrs and while charging the charger gets really hot and the fan loud.

I checked the battery drivers they are up to date.

I hardly use heavy applications; MS office and Project, email, 3 internet tabs open.

Is there anything I can do about this?

Let's reinstall the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery

Step 02. Type "Device Manager" in the start search box & open the Device Manager
Step 03. Look for Batteries and expand it by click on the + symbol on the left
Step 04. Right Click on "Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery" & uninstall
Note: This Battery driver will get re-installed automatically when you restart the Notebook again
Step 05. Please Shutdown the Notebook
Step 06. Please remove the Battery and unplug the Power Adapter
Step 07. Press and Hold the Power Button for full 1 Minute
Step 08. Go ahead and put back the Battery and connect the Power Adapter
Step 09. Look for "Plugged In Charging" message on the Battery icon
 

Then update thew BIOS from this Link: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers

If the issue persists, run a Battery and Ac adapter Test to confirm the Hardware Functionality

- Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.
- Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second. 
- When the menu appears, press the F2 key.
- On the main menu, click Component Tests and Power > Battery / Ac Adapter

Keep me posted how it goes 😊
