Non-Removable Battery Replacement

[Terence1002]

The battery of my laptop is draining fast even though I bought my laptop in less than a year. Can I replace it with a new one or I have to buy a new laptop now?

Battery drainage is critically dependent what you do while running on battery.  Folks today do Zoom and Teams meetings all the time and are amazed when their batteries deplete -- but that is to be expected because those functions demand lots of resources.  I have a four-core processor in my HP laptop when I do do these things, the cores ping at nearly 100% all the time!

The term non-removable usually means the battery can't be accessed easily through a sliding switch or access panel.  In some rare cases, the battery is glued in and can NOT be removed.

If you pry the case open yourself, that risks voiding the warranty -- so if you really want the battery replaced, you will need to find a place that can do this without damaging the laptop, even though that might still void the warranty.
