You should ask HP. There could be a problem and they will provide you a replacement battery or replace the laptop ...

also depends what your doing with the laptop.... what kind of battery you have... what energy settings you have ...

I've tried using it with all apps closed and same fast discharge. Then I called HP and they've sent me TWO replacement batteries ....

Lets, backup. What model and configuration of laptop do you have? What activities are you doing for 2 1/2 hours ? What power profile do you have set ?

I'm beginning to wonder if I'd have a fight trying to have the laptop itself replaced ...
