Hi @ODsameer 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

That kind of rapid battery drop can be really discouraging—especially when you're trying to get things done without constantly hunting for a charger. Let’s try to get to the bottom of it with a few more focused steps:

⚡ What Might Be Happening

A 10% drop in just 5 minutes usually points to one of these:

• Battery wear or degradation: Over time, batteries lose capacity and can misreport charge levels.
• Background processes or high power usage: Apps or services running silently can drain power fast.
• Incorrect battery calibration: The system might be misreading the battery’s actual charge.

🛠️ Steps to Help Fix or Diagnose

1. Calibrate the Battery

This helps the system read the battery level more accurately.

• Charge the laptop to 100%.
• Use it until it shuts down completely.
• Recharge it to 100% again without interruptions.
• Then restart and check if the battery percentage behaves more realistically.

2. Generate a Battery Health Report

This gives a clear picture of how your battery is performing.

• Open Command Prompt as administrator.
• Type: powercfg /batteryreport and press Enter.
• Open the generated report from C:\Windows\System32\battery-report.html.
• Look for Design Capacity vs. Full Charge Capacity—a big gap means the battery is worn out.

3. Check for Background Drain

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
• Look under the Processes tab for anything using high CPU or disk.
• Disable or uninstall anything unnecessary.

4. Adjust Power Settings

• Go to Settings > System > Power & Battery.
• Choose Battery Saver mode.
• Lower screen brightness and turn off Bluetooth/Wi-Fi if not needed.

5. Run a Battery Diagnostic

• Restart and press Esc, then F2 to open diagnostics.
• Run the Battery Test to check for any hardware issues.

If the battery report shows significant wear or the diagnostic flags it, a replacement might be the best path forward. I know that’s not ideal, but I’ll be right here to help you explore safe options if it comes to that.

Let me know what the report says or if you want help interpreting it!
