Updated Drivers Creates Battery Problem
I updated whatever drivers were available from HP a few days ago. Among some of those drivers was the BIOS. After updating the bios I started receiving a "Consider replacing your battery message" from the task bar. The battery seems to work fine and it seems odd that the battery would go bad right after updating the BIOS.
Its probably about a year + a few months old.
I've read multiple threads about battery issues with laptops running Windows 7 but most are from when it was just released. Soon after bios updates were being released to fix the problem but for me it did the exact opposite.
I've followed this Hp post about the issue to no avail.

I didn't try going back to the older version but I've done just about everything else. Anyone have any ideas?

The HP updater said all the drivers were up to date but they were not. Bad program I guess?
