Hi @mahadev3,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

I understand you’re using the Victus by HP 15.6" Gaming Laptop 15-fa1000 (A5CJ9AV) with Windows 11, and you’re concerned that the battery backup is far below the expected 7 hours and 45 minutes, often not even reaching 3 hours.

Let me explain everything clearly to you and the steps you can try.

Why You're Not Getting the Advertised Battery Life

  • HP's battery life estimates are typically based on light usage (e.g., video playback, low brightness, airplane mode, no background apps).
  • Real-world usage (gaming, multitasking, high brightness, Wi-Fi, background apps) significantly reduces battery life.


What You Can Do to Improve Battery Life:

1. Use HP Recommended Power Plan

  • Go to Settings > System > Power & Battery > Power Mode.
  • Select Best Power Efficiency or Balanced.


2. Turn Off Background Apps

  • Go to Settings > Apps > Startup and disable unnecessary apps.
  • Use Task Manager to monitor background processes.


3. Lower Display Brightness & Refresh Rate

  • Reduce brightness to 50% or less.
  • If your display supports 144Hz, switch to 60Hz when on battery:
    • Settings > System > Display > Advanced Display Settings.


4. Update BIOS and Drivers


5. Battery Calibration

  • Fully charge the battery, then let it drain to 0% and shut down.
  • Recharge to 100% without interruption.
  • This can help recalibrate the battery meter.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
