Hi @Mariamkaled,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

 

Thank you for your question. Battery life – what to expect. For an HP laptop with Intel i5 13th Gen and 16 GB RAM, the battery typically lasts:

  • 6 to 8 hours for normal usage (web browsing, emails, documents, video streaming)
  • 4 to 5 hours with heavier tasks (multiple apps, video calls, higher brightness)
  • 2 to 3 hours or less for intensive work (gaming, video editing)
     

Why battery life varies

Battery life depends on:

  • Screen brightness
  • Apps running in the background
  • Wi-Fi / Bluetooth usage
  • Power mode settings
  • Battery health and capacity
  • Exact laptop model

HP calculates battery life under controlled lab conditions, so real-world usage is usually lower.

For more accurate details

If you share the exact HP laptop model number (for example: Pavilion, Victus, Envy, etc.), I can provide a more precise battery estimate and optimization tips. Feel free to let me know.

 

Take care and have an amazing day!
