HP Recommended
hp pavilion 15-da0094ne
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I've noticed a long while ago that the battery life when unplugged from the charger lasts LESS than 1 hour which is unbelievable! I thought this was normal, but I realized that it was way too low when I looked at other laptop that have batteries that can last over 6 hours, I don't know if this is normal on this model or the battery is defective and I need help to decide on that.

 

Note:

1. I mainly watch YouTube videos when i plug the charger off

2. No, there is no background process that's using too much recourses , when i open up taskbar, the laptops idles at around 10% CPU usage, even while using Chrome

3. the worst part is, I use the lowest brightness setting all the time!
