HP Envy x360 13 (2018) Battery Life

[Demiladeak]

So I bought a HP ENVY x360 - 13-ag0003na. HP claims it has a battery life of 11 hours and 7 hours (with video playback) but my laptop only lasts around 3 hours. Help please.

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

• Do you use this computer for gaming purpose or daily use?
• Did you make any software or hardware changes on your laptop?

Try updating the BIOS on your PC and check if it helps.

BIOS Update: Follow steps from the link: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c00042629

As the battery is a consumable part the life of the battery decreases each time you charge your laptop.

Open Power Options on Windows 10.

• Click Change plan settings for any of the power plans. I would suggest you choose the power saver plan.
• Now click Change advanced power settings.
• Under the Advanced Settings tab, scroll down to find Processor power management.
• Now, expand (click on +) Processor power management.
• Expand Maximum processor state.
• Click the On-battery option and reduce the processor state to 20%. You can choose any other value.
• Click Ok. The settings are saved, you can close the Power Options window.
• Enable Adaptive Brightness
• Go to Power Options select change advanced power settings
• Go to the Change advanced power settings. Expand Display> expand Enable Adaptive Brightness. Now, turn on Adaptive Brightness for On-battery and Plugged in options (whichever you like. Click Ok to save the settings.
• If the issue still persists try uninstalling the battery drivers device manager.
• Search for and open Device Manager.
• Click next to Batteries to expand the battery options.
• With the options expanded, right-click each ACPI option and in the menu, click Uninstall.
• Restart the computer.

The battery should now charge properly.

• Refer this article to know how to run a battery test and perform a battery calibration on your laptop.
