    Reset the Battery : To reset the battery, first ensure your laptop is completely powered off. Unplug the charger from the laptop. On the bottom of the laptop, locate the small pinhole with a battery symbol next to it and use a paperclip to press and hold the reset button for about 10-15 seconds. Finally, plug the charger back in and turn on your laptop.

    Battery Calibration : To calibrate your battery, first fully charge your laptop to 100%. Then, use your laptop until it shuts down due to low battery. Finally, recharge it back to 100% without any interruptions. This process can help recalibrate the battery and improve its accuracy in reporting charge levels.

    Overheating can cause sudden shutdowns. Ensure your laptop's vents are clean and unobstructed. You can use compressed air to clean out any dust.

    Generate a battery report to check the health of your battery:
    Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
    Type powercfg /batteryreport /output %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\battery_report.html and press Enter.
    Open the generated report on your desktop to review the battery health and usage statistics.

    Reinstall battery drivers : To reinstall the battery drivers on your laptop, first open Device Manager by pressing the Windows key + R, typing devmgmt.msc, and pressing Enter. In Device Manager, expand the Batteries section, right-click on Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery, and select Uninstall device. Confirm the uninstallation if prompted. After that, restart your laptop, and Windows will automatically reinstall the battery drivers during the reboot process.
