HP Pavilion x360 Convertible 14-ba0xx

Hi,

 

My laptop recently has only been charging to 77%. it is very strange and worrying that it is doing this. I have checked the health and it says Ok. the Ac adaptor passed the test aswell. I have tried troubleshooting and all the updates available on Hp support with no success. Can anyone please help me find a soloution as I am extremely worried. I have had the laptop for about 1 year and a half so i have no warranty remaining. 

 

Thanks

There are pages and pages of this general model series, many of which were introduced in mid-2018.

It is possible, assuming you purchased your computer during that general time frame, that the battery is beginning to weaken and / or would benefit from calibration.  These are both normal behaviors.

 

If the battery has been charged / used / recharged many times during the past year, it is perhaps time to consider replacing the battery.  Your choice at this point; the battery is still working.

Battery does not charge when system is warm to hot

If the “not charging” issue is (only) apparent when the system is running hot (or near that point), the battery and charge system are likely overheated as well – the charge system will resume operation when the computer cools down.  Short Version:  An overheated battery / computer / charging-system will not charge the battery – this is normal behavior.

 

 

Battery seems “stuck” in a particular charge setting                                                                  

The battery might be OK and just need calibration (balance / set).

 

The steps to check / calibrate / replace the battery are included in this document:
