Hp battery upgrade

[Mal707]

I have a hp pavilion laptop it has 1660ti i5-10300h 8gb(2x4) ddr4 ram. The battery life on it is absolutely ass, the battery itself is find its just a gaming laptop. I was wondering if I could upgrade it. I've never upgraded a laptop battery and wasn't sure if it was possible does someone have a recommendation or know if it's even possible for me to do this?

Which model HP Pavilion? There might be a higher capacity OEM battery available.

 

If it supports USB-C power delivery, it could run off a sufficiently powerful USB battery pack.

 

If nothing else, you could get a Jackery and the appropriate auto adapter for your laptop!

@Needfuldoer gave you the answer basically.

 

But the reason your battery life sucks and will not be great even with a max capacity 99w/hr battery if you somehow find one is that intel 10th and 11th gen are horribly inneficient cpu's

The model of the laptop is a 16-a0032dx

 I'm not expecting to be able to play game for hours and it not die the battery is a about 2 years old now and Im just want it to last more than 30-50minutes at a time ideally 1.5 hours would be fantastic

literally all windows laptops last 1-2 hours when you actually use the damn thing. if you want battery life, buy a mac.

That's not true I've had windows laptops that last hours I'm not taking a recommendation from someone who's pitching a Mac when this has nothing to do with them

ok then lower your quality settings until the games look shitty. 
hell, you should just disable the gpu entirely while on battery and use the intel igpu for games. 10th gen era igpus were decent enough. 

 

for you to even begin to expect battery life when you are playing games ona  45w tdp cpu and your gpu is bloody 80w, like bruh.

you have a 52wh battery. assuming it has wear since it is 2y old, you have a 33wh battery. 

if you had the gpu OFF and forced the cpu to its tdp-down at 35w in games, you would have 50 minutes of battery, ignoring the rest of system power consumption.

It's almost like that's the entire reason this chat was started so I could have an idea of what battery I should get. you have 0 importance here and are adding nothing to the conversation.

yes because I skipped that part since you cant add batteries to HP laptops. 

try buying a jackery

Let's keep the conversation civil, there is no need to act aggressive here.  Also Let's keep replies within the question asked.

Bear the mind the forum's core values and apply them. Thank you.

Unfortunately, it looks like the original 52Wh battery or a direct replacement is your only internal battery option. There's only so much room for a battery inside a thin and light laptop, especially one that's been engineered to an "entry level" price point. (Build quality and battery capacity are usually the first compromises manufacturers make.)

 

Installing a new replacement battery will get you back to about factory performance, but you won't be able to run FurMark for hours.

 

I haven't been able to find a definitive answer as to whether your laptop supports USB power delivery, and most car DC outlets are designed to only support 120 watts (12 volts at 10 amps), so a Jackery might actually be your only external battery option. (I was joking earlier...)

 

There are gains to be made on the software side, though. Lowering your graphic fidelity settings and capping your FPS at 60 should make it so your laptop doesn't work as hard. Even turning the screen brightness down can help. Limit your background tasks, and maybe get a second stick of RAM if you haven't already.
