i bought a hp pavilion x360 convertible 14-dy0052TUe

the battery life is shockingly low, just doing programming and surfing web, no gaming , no open video, every 10 minutes the battery drop 1%

once it goes below 20% it drops even faster, every couple minutes drop 1%

is that normal? its still under warranty, if its not normal i still can go and change it.

Claim warranty, if it's still less than 12 months. In my view, you should get at least approx. 3 hrs.

The support person may ask you to calibrate the battery few times. In my view, this is pretty bad for the battery as it goes into full charge and discharge cycles, thereby later further damage the battery even more. A good battery doesn't (rarely) need to do calibration. None my of other non-HP laptops had ever need to do that.

You may get a quote from the HP support and their prices are practically "rip-off". The battery plus labour may cost a LOT!

p.s. The only reason I get HP is coz they are affordable (cheap).

Brand new laptop should not have battery issues, check is there any background apps running, maybe disabled it from startup.

Also have a look at Power Options, is it selected to "Balanced" mode ?

Worst case, send for Warranty claims.

Hope it helps...

What IDE you use?
most IDE i use dont conserve battery except android studio.
most ide run background job like intellisense it will eat battery juice too
for web browsing, use as little addon as possible, most addon are power hog as well.

Don't expect stella battery performance from x86 cpu, especially the thin one.
if the CPU does not have e-core then it will be worse.

either you get good lappy with high mah battery or get ios device/android.
intel/amd lappy power consumption efficiency still very far away from ARM devices.

guys i send the laptop for warranty claim already thanks all for reply
