Windows 10: Is 10 -15% Idle Battery Drain on my new Windows 11 Laptop Normal ??

Hi, Recently I Purchased a new Windows Laptop, and I am facing the issue of idle battery drain on my new laptop. It's always around 10-15 % battery percentage drained when I open my laptop after a time period of 15 -16 hours. Is this issue normal or do I need to consult with my laptop service centre. Currently my Windows 11 version is 23H2.

Rapid Battery Drain and Fast Charging Issue on MSI Bravo 15 (Windows 11)

Hello,

I’m experiencing a significant issue with my MSI Bravo 15 laptop running Windows 11, and I hope someone can assist me.

Problem Description:

1. When I start my laptop, the battery drains from 100% to 0% in approximately 2 minutes.
   
2. When I plug in the charger, the battery charges back to 100% very quickly.
   
3. I have to keep my device plugged in for the whole time to work!
   

Steps Taken So Far:

1. I’ve checked the battery health status in the Windows settings, and it shows that the battery is healthy.
   
2. I’ve updated all my drivers and Windows updates to the latest versions.
   

Additional Information:

• This issue started happening recently, and there were no significant hardware or software changes prior to this.
  
• The laptop is about 2.5 year old.
  

I appreciate any advice or solutions you can provide.

Thank you!

 

Is Windows 11 draining laptop battery faster?

Hi,

I have HP 245 G7 notebook with Windows 10 2004 side by side with Windows 11 22000.318 in dual boot.

While Windows 11 is certainly faster, I notice that it seems to be draining the laptop battery faster too.

While on Windows 10 with normal activities it easily lasts 3.5 to 4 hours, in the case of Windows 11 it reaches less than 10% in just 2 hours. This is despite I have enabled battery saver in Windows 11 as always on.

Also comparing side by side, say when idling at say 90% battery Windows 10 shows 5 hours remaining, at the same time Windows 11 shoes just 2 hours 30 mins remaining.

Is this a known issue with Windows 11 or am I missing something?

Ideally, I expect 11 to be superior to 10, in speed, performance, and power efficiency at least.

Thanks.

 

Rapid Battery Drain and Fast Charging Issue on MSI Bravo 15 (Windows 11)

Hello,

Thank you for the suggestion.

I do have the MSI Dragon Center utility installed on my laptop. I checked within the app and found the Battery Calibration option. I have run the battery calibration as recommended.

However, after running the calibration, the issue persists:

1. The battery still drains from 100% to 0% in approximately 9 minutes upon startup.
   
2. The battery still charges back to 100% very quickly when plugged in.
   

Is there any other step I should try, or could this indicate a deeper hardware issue? Any further advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance.
