I would like to change the setting of the remaining battery time from % to hours and minutes. Where  can I do this?

Hi

 

Because the device will use more battery capacity the busier it is, a prediction of 8 hours on standby may quickly change to 1 hour playing a blue-ray disk and watching a movie.

 

Then become 3 hours if just playing a card game.  So the % capacity remaining is perhaps the best option.

Many thanks for your feedback, nevertheless in the settings of the previous HP I could show the remaining time in hours or minutes and this gave  me an indication based on what program I was using how much time is left to react.

I don't know when it says that 30% is remaining if I need to hurry up or do I still have an hour or so  left

Here same problem on 840 G6.

There is also no option available in the bios as mentioned.
