Product: Victus by HP 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop 15-fa1000 (8B483AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I’m a college student on a tight budget, and my HP Victus laptop’s battery capacity suddenly dropped from a full charge of 45,471 mWh to just 11,734 mWh in one day  [a 76% decline] after only 117 cycles. A healthy battery should retain at least 70–80% of its design capacity after hundreds of cycles, not crash to 24% overnight. 

  • Design capacity: 52,552 mWh

  • Capacity before drop: 45,471 mWh

  • Capacity after drop: 11,734 mWh

  • Cycle count: 117Screenshot 2025-10-06 122641.png

     

    This isn’t aging, this is BS!. I can’t afford a ₹4,000+ replacement on a student budget. Has anyone else seen a BIOS-level health alert like this:WhatsApp Image 2025-10-06 at 12.16.24_7a8bdada.jpg

    Please let me know what to do next. 

    I've already installed and updated the BIOS and all, but nothing worked. I did the battery test in BIOS, and it's saying it'll take 13 hrs to calibrate. I don't know what to do next. This laptop is less than 2 yrs old.

     

    Pardon me if my tone is harsh, but I'm really agitated. This is a fu*kin' gaming pc, and I don't even game, still this happened.. ☹️
