Hp pavilion Notebook 17-G121WM battery life

[Hannah565]

I just got this laptop a little over a week ago on July 1, 2017. It  advertised up to 5 hours of battery life, which was one of the main reason I chose to get this laptop. My battery life has not surpassed a hour and a half  yet. At first I was okay with it, because I thought it was where I was updating my laptop and downloading a game and playing the game. But, It only last a hour and a half when I am just doing normal web searches and not even playing the game I downloaded. I got this laptop for college, so I need the battery to last longer than just a hour and a half.
