HP ENVY x360 - 13-ag0003na
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

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.

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.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
