Computer battery life varies, depending on power management settings, programs running on the

computer, display brightness, external devices connected to the tablet, and other factors.

Factory-sealed battery

Your computer has one or two internal, rechargeable batteries that can be replaced only by an

authorized service provider. To monitor the status of your battery, or if the battery is no longer holding

a charge, run Battery Check in Help and Support. To access battery information, from the Start

screen, type

support

, select the

HP Support Assistant

app, and then select

Battery and

performance

. If Battery Check indicates that your battery should be replaced, contact support.

Do not attempt to remove or replace the factory-sealed batteries. Removing or replacing the battery

could affect your warranty coverage. If the battery is no longer holding a charge, contact support.

When a battery has reached the end of its useful life, do not dispose of the battery in general

household waste. Follow the local laws and regulations in your area for battery disposal.

Conserving battery power

●

Lower the brightness on the display.

●

Select the
