User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Great buy!
It was exactly what I wanted and it arrived early! Thank your for the service!
4 Stars it works
Purchased the 12 cell based on needs for business travel. Thus far it has performed to the task. I watched a movie and used my lap top throughout a four hour flight and still had some juice to spare. Not sure how it will last in the long run but for now I am very pleased.
3 Stars Works, but not a perfect fit
While this battery works, it does not fit flushly into the battery slot of my HP notebook (something I should have figured out before purchasing). This causes the laptop to tilt towards you due to being elevated in the back. This is an annoyance for me.
4 Stars Excellent Battery Life, a bit unwieldly
I purchased this for my HP dv6000 series notebook.
Purpose: My previous battery was a 6 cell, and it would run out after 20 minutes! Abysmal. For some reason it decreased its battery life; before it used to get 1.5 hours. Not sure if this was an error on HP’s part. Note: If you run an HP diagnostics test on the battery, they tell you that some laptops’ batteries have been recalled/have major issues and HP will replace it free of charge and extend the warranty one year. See HP for details if your laptop qualifies.
Installation: As mentioned in other reviews, I had to slam the battery in. At first it may seem like it will not fit, but you have to give it a good hit so it will lock into place.
Performance: I get around 3.5 hours out of this puppy! I was really excited about this. I could watch a full movie on Netflix’s Watch Instantly, or pop in a DVD.
Heat: Like others, I like that the large battery props up the laptop, thus allowing for better ventillation, and negating a need to buy a fan.
Shape: The bulky battery makes it too easy for the CD-ROM bay to pop open. It seems as if it pushes out the CD and if you just tap it, *pop* it comes out. Minor issue. Also, since the battery does not run across the entire bottom of the laptop, it may make it a bit wobbly when it’s on a flat surface. Another minor gripe.
Verdict: An awesome upgrade! I have reinvigorated my laptop with such a long battery life, and now can watch full movies and do video editing all over the house. Excellent purchase.
5 Stars 12 Cell battery
Thus far the 12 cell HP battery I purchased has been great. The extra battery capacity is excellent-compared to the cheap battery that came with my laptop.
