Hi @j1onal,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Here are some tips to help extend the battery life of your HP laptop.

Adjust Power Settings

• Battery Saver Mode: Enable Battery Saver mode from the Windows settings. This will limit background activity and adjust settings to extend battery life.
• Power Plan: Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options and select a power plan optimized for battery life, such as "Power Saver."

Screen Brightness

• Lower the screen brightness or use the auto-brightness feature to adjust the brightness based on your environment.

Close Unnecessary Applications

• Close any applications or browser tabs you’re not using. Some apps, especially those running in the background, can consume a lot of power.

Turn Off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

• If you’re not using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, turn them off to save battery life.

Update Drivers and BIOS

• Ensure your drivers and BIOS are up to date. Sometimes, battery issues can be related to outdated drivers or BIOS.

Check Battery Health

• Battery Report: Run a battery report to check the health of your battery. Open Command Prompt and type powercfg /batteryreport to generate a report. Review the report for any anomalies.

Disable Unnecessary Startup Programs

• Go to Task Manager > Startup and disable any programs that are not necessary for startup. This can reduce the load on your system and improve battery life.

Optimize Battery Usage for Apps

• Go to Settings > System > Battery > Battery usage by app and limit or restrict apps that use a lot of battery.

Manage Background Apps

• Go to Settings > Privacy > Background apps and turn off apps you don't need running in the background.

Perform a Battery Calibration

• Sometimes, calibrating the battery can help. Fully charge the battery, then let it drain completely before charging it back up to 100%.

Update Windows

• Make sure Windows is updated to the latest version, as updates can sometimes include improvements for battery performance.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
