Battery issues

[Lavi09]

Hi,

I had recently updated my windows 10 and after the update, I noticed that my laptop doesn't charge beyond 94%. It does say that its charging but it never crosses the 94% threshold. Please find attached a screenshot of the same.

I also noticed that the laptop shuts down automatically at around 30% battery. While charging the laptop, the laptop keeps on toggling between the status "plugged in" and "power mode(on battery)" every 2-3 seconds. Once the battery has charged more than 60%, it stops toggling.

I have tried to run the troubleshooter but no issues were detected. I have also tried to diagnose the battery using  HP PC Hardware Diagnostics Windows app but no issues were detected and all tests passed. I also tried to calibrate the battery but no resolution was found. 

Please help me with the resolution on this issue.

Thanks

Lavi

I reviewed your post and I understand that you are facing issues with the battery.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

I recommend you update the BIOS from the below link and check whether the issue is resolved.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I updated BIOS from the link you gave but it didn't resolve the issue.

Hi,

You have 386 cycles out of an expected life of 300 so you got about 30% more cycles out of it then it was designed for. A full charge only stores 61% of original capacity. This is a perfect example why the simple pass/fail is interesting but proves nothing. This battery simply needs replacement it has done its job and is ready to retire.

Okay. So, every isue which I am facing right now like, laptop shuts down at 40% and battery charges from 30 to 60 in a minute and toggling between plugged in and not charging, will be resolved after battery replacement?

A bad battery can and does cause all those symptoms. I can guaranty nothing but if you intend to use the laptop you need a new battery. I am saying the odds a new battery will solve all the problems is upwards of 90%
