is my battery is in good condition?

this is from hp assistant app.this is from battery report usng terminal code is something powercfg.....

Hi @shuvam34,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

Thank you for sharing the screenshots! Let’s go through them carefully and check the health of your Victus by HP 15-fa0000 battery.

What the HP Battery Check shows

• Status: Primary Battery: Normal – This means HP diagnostics did not detect any faults.
• Charge: 100% (AC connected)
• Cycle Count: 532 out of 1000 – This is important. Most HP batteries are rated for ~1000 cycles, so you’ve used about 53% of its expected life.
• Temperature: 29°C – Perfectly normal.
• Design Capacity: 70 Whr
• Full Charge Capacity: 56 Whr (≈80%)
• Remaining Capacity: 56 Whr

What the Windows Battery Report shows

• Design Capacity: 70,070 mWh
• Full Charge Capacity: 56,656 mWh
• Cycle Count: 20 (This seems inconsistent with HP Battery Check – likely Windows report was generated earlier or uses different logic.)

Your battery is healthy but aging:

• It currently holds 80% of its original capacity, which is normal for a battery with 500+ cycles.
• HP considers a battery in good condition if it retains above 70% capacity and does not show error codes.
• Adaptive Battery Optimizer is enabled, which helps prolong life.

What should you do next?

• Keep using it normally; no urgent replacement needed.
• Avoid deep discharges (below 10%) and extreme heat.
• If you notice sudden shutdowns or capacity dropping below 50%, then consider a replacement.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!

why the cycle count is different in both ??

should i recalibrate the battery?

Hi @shuvam34,

That’s a very good question, and it’s completely understandable to notice the difference and wonder which number to trust. Let me explain what’s happening in simple terms 👇

The cycle count difference between the two reports (532 vs 20) is normal and can occur because:

1. Different tools calculate “cycles” differently.
   • The HP Battery Check utility reads data directly from HP’s embedded controller, which uses HP’s own algorithm. It sometimes counts partial discharge/charge events as separate mini-cycles.
   • The Windows Battery Report (or system report) uses a more general method that only counts full charge–discharge equivalents, so its number is usually lower.
      
2. Firmware vs OS data interpretation.
   • The HP tool reads firmware-level statistics stored inside the battery microcontroller.
   • The Windows battery report reads power management data reported to the operating system. These don’t always sync perfectly.
      
3. Different data refresh intervals.
   • The HP utility updates its data during diagnostics.
   • Windows updates its data only when the battery report is generated.

So, no need to worry, this difference is expected and doesn’t indicate any problem.

As for recalibration:

• You can recalibrate if you notice that your battery percentage jumps suddenly (for example, from 30% to 10%) or if it shuts down early.
• To recalibrate safely:
  1. Charge the laptop fully to 100%.
  2. Leave it plugged in for another hour.
  3. Then unplug and use it until it shuts down on its own.
  4. Let it cool for about 2 hours.
  5. Charge it again uninterrupted to 100%.

This helps the system synchronize its charge readings with the true battery capacity, but it won’t change the cycle count readings much.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
