Battery driver date is too old (2006 year). Is all oK?

[effolkronium]

Hi. Recently i bought a hp specte x360 (late 2017). It has not really good battery life (5-6 hours in light usage).

I checked its battery driver, and found that it has 2006 year driver date. 

I wasn't able to update it not by Windows update dirver option, not by HP Driver download page (there is lack of driver for battery option).

Is it a correct driver? Is there a newer and better driver for battery ?

Hi, @effolkronium

You will find that many of the basic W10 Microsoft drivers are from 2006, like the battery, DVD drive, Disk Drive, etc--too many to name.

There are no updates for those drivers, and they are perfectly fine the way they are.

I noticed that mine is just about the same as yours.
