the battery life of my HP intel FR5007TU is very bad and I am very disappointed that I bought this.

I bought the laptop not even a year ago and within 2 months of buying the battery started draining so fast.

Hi @Richa17,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

It's really frustrating when a new device doesn't perform as expected, especially when it comes to battery life. There are several steps you can take to potentially improve the situation with your HP laptop's battery:

Check Battery Health: Most laptops have a built-in tool to check the battery's health. You can access this on your HP laptop by searching for "HP Support Assistant" on your computer and using its battery check tool to diagnose any issues.

Adjust Power Settings: Windows offers various power plans that can extend your battery life. Go to your laptop's power settings (search "Edit Power Plan" in Windows search), and adjust it to a more battery-friendly option such as "Power saver."

Update Software and Drivers: Ensure that your laptop’s operating system and all drivers are up to date. Sometimes, updates include improvements that can help manage battery life more efficiently.

Limit Background Applications: Applications running in the background can drain your battery faster. Check which applications are using the most power by going to Settings -> System -> Battery usage. Close unnecessary apps or adjust their settings to prevent them from running in the background.

Battery Calibration: Sometimes, the laptop's battery meter gets out of sync with the battery’s actual charge, which might show incorrect information about your battery life. Try calibrating the battery by fully draining it and then charging it to 100% without interruption.

Consider Battery Replacement: If your laptop is still under warranty, it may be worth contacting HP support to discuss a potential battery replacement, especially if the battery health check indicates a problem.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
