Battery life problem (HP PAVILION)

[Paskalina]

Hallo. I just bought a new HP pavilion (HP Pavilion 15-aw084sa) And in the description it says that the battery life is about 9,5 hours. After a fully charge it lasts no more than 3 hours MAXIMUM. What do u think is the problem..i need it for work and 3 hours are totally unsatisfying.

Hard to say if there is a problem, other than HP seriously lying about the battery life. I purchased a Pavilion about 6 months ago that isn't all that much different than yours, and while HP claimed a battery life of 7+ hours, all the professional reviews of my model (at least 10) claimed they could only get 2-3 hours out of it. And sure enough, that's all that I get from mine as well.

Try turning down the brightness of the display, and check for anything that is running at startup that doesn't need to be running.
