Battery drains quickly

[dieprime_93]

I got a hp 15-bs158nia on july 31, it was installed with windows 10 pro 64 bit at the computer shop as it comes with FREEDOS ,

On using the laptop i noticed the battery drains quickly in battery saver mode as it loses 10% in 30 minutes..

To troubleshoot i removed my new laptop battery and placed it in an hp laptop i got last year, hp 15-bs031wm and in battery saver mode, the bs031wm used only 4% in 30 minutes of usage, 

Returning the battery back to its bs158nia and its fast discharge continued

Note the old laptop came preinstalled with windows 10 home unlike mine, so i'm wondering if the fast discharge is a software or hardware problem

what do i do to make my battery last longer in the hp 15-bs182nia

@dieprime_93 I have a few steps listed below that should help you resolve this concern:

Unplug the charge, Turn off the laptop and turn it back on after 30mins.

Reinstall Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery under device manager:

1) In the search box, type and open “Device Manager”.

2) Expand “Batteries”.

3) Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there.

4) Click on “Uninstall”.

5) At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver

6) Shutdown the computer.

7) Remove the battery for a minute and then put it back in. (Skip this step if you have a non removable battery)

8 - When the computer comes back up it should automatically find the driver.

9) Go to Device Manager.

10) Expand Batteries.

11) Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there.

12) Click "Search automatically for updated driver software"

Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.
