Battery Drained within a hour

[Garvit11]

My laptop battery is draining too fast . It last for max. 45 minutes only. Its current cycle count is 348/1000. My BIOS version is F.52 . When again download this version again , the battery gives a backup of 2.5 hours or when i make BIOS recovery it also gives the same backup of around 3 hours . But this backup is only for the first charge after recovery or update thereafter it again starts draining too fast and last for 1 hour only. I am using HP PAVILION NOTEBOOK 15- au620tx model. I had uninstall and then install the battery drivers from device manager but still the problem is  not solved . I had never used laptop while charging. Please guide me asap.
