I bought a HP 15s-du3038TX laptop 2 days ago. After a full charge, my batter is discharging from 100% to 10% only in 3 hours. I had only done some copy-pasting activities from my USB drive to the laptop. No any heavy applications ( even my web browser was not running ) were running in the background. I had noted down my laptop's specification below. Why it happens like that? I am using a 3 cell 41Wh battery.
- intel core i5-11th gen
- 8GB DDR4 RAM
- 256GB SSD & 1TB HDD
- NVIDIA MX350 2GB
- No any backlit keyboards or fancy items
- 15.6" display
- Windos 10 Home is running (x64)
Hope anyone can give me a support !
Thank You !

That is normal for a 3 cell 41Wh battery on a 15" machine.

According to the above article, it says battery life mixed usage is upto 5 hours and 15 minutes. How it can be reduced by 2 hours ( My usage is 3 hours as I mentioned above ) without running any heavy applications ?
