@Sowmysa29, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your HP Battery Alert! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

  

The Primary (internal) Battery (601) error message indicates that the measured storage capacity of the primary (internal) battery is less than 25% of the original storage capacity. This error may be caused by environmental factors such as low ambient operating temperature or the natural aging of the battery pack. Operating your system in a warmer location or using it for a while might resolve the condition.

 

Update the BIOS:

  • Go to the HP Software and Driver Downloads page.
  • Navigate to the product page for your computer.
  • Select BIOS from the list that displays, and review any available updates.
  • Download and install the update following the instructions provided.

Perform a Battery Test:

  • Disconnect the AC adapter.
  • Press and hold the Power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.
  • Turn on the computer and press Esc repeatedly.
  • When the startup menu appears, press F2 to access the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics menu.
  • Click Component Tests > Power > Battery > Run once to start the battery test. 

Hope this helps! 

  

Take care, and have an amazing day!
