Wrong remaining charge time

[VENOMs7000]

I have Windows 10 (64bit) and the remaining charge time is wrong. It shows that I have 2 minutes till full charge when my battery is on 30%.

Help?

If the battery is the original - or not the original, but more than a year or so of age, it is time to consider replacing it.

Mate Im not gonna buy a new battery for few reasons:
1. The laptop was barely used (its like my 3rd laptop that I use when I am at my old home). It most likely has less than 200 charge cycles.

2. This is a software issue. Not hardware issue.

This is a known issue with Windows 10 that many people with different laptops have complained. Old and new. So buying a new battery wont cut it. 
Also this model was bought in 2014

Edits - Add reminder for Adapter and for the cord, too.

Opening the homepage for your device shows an alert for the AC cord. 

If you have never done so, read the Alert information.

If the AC Adapter (charger) is failing, it won't properly charge the device.

Add the AC Adapter to the list of hardware to test.

If the AC Adapter (charger) fails it will not power the notebook.

Original Content

OK, understood.

Product Series introduction is merely an indicator.

Assuming the UEFI battery test is positive, then the battery is likely OK.

Software...

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Driver

NOTE:  Symptoms might show up after Microsoft Updates has run on the computer.

Method – Reload the Driver

Symptoms:  Battery stops charging – no known issues with battery or charger – Windows 7 through 10

Control Panel > icon view > Device Manager > Open Batteries > Right-Click “Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" > Uninstall > tab Action > Check for hardware changes (reinstalls the driver)

Method – Longer Version - Reload Driver

Contributed by HP Riddle_Decipher

Symptoms:  Battery charges to 100% - notebook shuts down when battery dips to 50%.  Battery Diagnostics “cancel” (do not complete)

(Paraphrased content)

• Unplug the charger
• Switch off the computer for 30 minutes, boot / start the computer, and log in
• Control Panel > icon view > Device Manager > Open Batteries > Right-Click “Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" > Uninstall > Remove existing driver
• Shut down the computer
• If the battery is removable, remove the battery for one minute > Replace battery (Skip for non-removable battery)
• Start the computer and log in
• Control Panel > icon view > Device Manager > Open Batteries > Right-Click “Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" > tab Action > Check for hardware changes (reinstalls the driver)

===============================================

I entirely agree that if you do not want to consider replacing the battery that you should look elsewhere.

If you run out of alternatives, you have the information, at least.

Stay Safe.
