Its the same problem even after replacing the battery and updating bios, OS updates etc. Windows 7 is not suitable for laptops I guess the ACPI driver is having serious issues with bios, since nor HP or MS don't have solution for this I am fed up. I installed XP(even Vista with SP2 has the same issue), and its fine now. SO its the Windows 7 that eating batteries. So be ware.
