Installed a new battery to my HP Pavilion and it only charges to 47%.

Get a battery report to verify the battery is what you expected (6 cell and not a 3 or not genuine) and also do a calibration

 

Please run the battery report (and post the summery if you want)
you run the battery report by bringing up the administrator command window and running

powercfg/batteryreport


as shown below


After entering that explorer line you should see something like the following. You will have to click on it as it is long

You can use the WindowsKey + shift + S to copy and paste a small image if you want.

Save the battery report so you can do a a second one after the calibration.
Battery should last about 5 years but less for gaming systems.

 

Have you done a battery calibration?
