i have just bought a HP Pavilion x360 Convertible 14-ba0xx and am really concerned about the battery life. I have a 6 year old laptop with a battery that lasts longer. The battery life is around 4hrs maximum with standard use. not movies / videos

Hi,

Thanks for your response. Yes I've tried battery saver with 50% screen brightness but the battery life is still poor. It is lasting a maximum of 4.5hrs with occasional use (not intensive video playback)

I'm really concerned I'm not struck with this HP laptop..

Thank you for replying with this detailed response 😉 

I appreciate your time and efforts,

Did you know that the battery you have is a 3-cell, 41 Wh Li-ion battery?

 A 3 Cell battery battery when compared to a 6 cell or 9 cell does provide less battery backup, that said, did you check the other steps I had suggested on that link to improve the battery performance to suit your preferences?

If not, please do and get back to me with the results.

Have a great day!
