My laptop battery is draining too fast within three months of purchase, i have calibrated it to solve the issue; it gave good battery backup for two to three days but problem persisted after that. I have contacted hp officials through their chat services. they asked me to follow some methods and said the problem is not in the battery, but in software and drivers. They asked me to follow some methods which involved deleting battery drivers and reinstalling the. It worked but after a week the problem came again. i need some permanent solution. please help me, I am not even getting 2hrs of videoplay back on my HP Victus which has 70 watts battery.
Thank You.
