I wanted to ask if there are any ways to extend your laptop battery by at least an hour. Mine runs for 2 hours and 20 minutes, and it takes about 1 hour more to use it at school.
Buying a new battery?
How old is the laptop? All batteries lose capacity over time, depending on the treatment.
You can try reducing electricity consumption. Screen brightness down, Wi-Fi off, possibly also inverting the screen colors (white needs a lot more power than black)
Do you have a power bank? This would allow you to power the laptop via USB and thus extend the battery performance.
Otherwise you should deactivate power guzzlers in live mode. These can be programs, sound settings and of course the screen brightness.
If you need to extend the battery life as much as possible, you can save time by choosing energy saving mode. To do this, click on the battery icon in the task bar and then on Energy saving mode. In Windows 10, you need to right-click this icon and choose power options.
See link for this.

I don't know how old the battery is but the laptop is 5 years old.
Has the battery capacity deteriorated much?
Via HDMI? What?
I typed too quickly, should only be USB.
Clearly there are options.
The first option: to save battery during operation. On the one hand, you can spare the hardware. Means: The less the laptop has to do, the less it consumes electricity. Just like a car uses more fuel with more power. E.g. Close Programs that you no longer need. And of course you have to be aware that watching a YouTube video uses less than if you were editing a video with Adobe Premiere Pro. In addition, you can easily save the battery with less brightness. In addition, many laptops have their own buttons to regulate the brightness immediately. It also saves battery when the laptop displays dark instead of light colors. On the cell phone, the dark mode also saves battery. Likewise, you might be able to set a darker background in some applications.
The second option: a completely new battery. Lithium-ion batteries, like those that will be in your laptop, unfortunately have a clear disadvantage: their capacity deteriorates with time or use. Unfortunately, this is also a major disadvantage of the laptop. After 2-3 years, the laptop often only lasts half the time. If he is a few years old, many will not last 5 minutes. Then only a new battery will help.
Yes I think so
Then you could get a new battery for your laptop. These are usually very easy to replace.
