This battery worked fine at first.

However, somewhere along the last 6 months, it has refused to charge to capacity, not going over 55% or so.

Also, it won't run on battery for more than like 20 minutes, making it worthless.

This might be due to me keeping it on the electric power for a long time, I don't know. All I know is, it is not working anymore.

Still, for the price, you might be better off with this than an 'official' HP battery, and if you have one of the HP's with the borked mobo's like I do, and you are on your 3rd replacement mobo, like I am, you don't see much longevity in your computer anyways. :(

I am very pleased with the replacement laptop battery. My original battery died while being used when running on 110V power. Seems strange that would happen; the result was that the battery was unusable.

I plan on charging the new battery, then replacing it with the old battery when running on 110V power so that the same thing won't happen to the new battery.

I bought this product about a week ago and it has worked quite well. I have been looking for a bigger battery since the 8-cell's wear was about 20%. Though I know I didn't need a new battery yet, I felt that it would be nice to have some more battery life. I am running windows 7 (beta build 7100), I have the core 2 duo 2.4 GHz processor, 8600m GS graphics card, and 7200 rpm hard drives. Well, on power saver mode my computer is underclocked to 792 MHz, and I have undervolted my processor to as low as it could go without crashing. I was able to get a respectable 3 hours and 30 minutes out of my 8-cell (I use Batterybar to determine life), but then I got this battery and my life jumped to about 6 hours just typing and reading pdf's (which is what I primarily do at my university). When I surf the internet and the computer runs more my battery life is about 4:30-5:00. Also, the computer being lifted has made it a little more comfortable to type as well letting the cooling be much more effective. And finally, the shipping was surprisingly fast, only took 3 days to get to my house.

Bought this to replace the battery on my daughter's laptop. It works great and she is very happy with it.

most unfortunate to receive a dead battery and worst no company replacement. I have spent money and nothing to show for it. ;-C
