 Good product Jun 09, 2010
By Art Girl
I was reluctant at first to buy this battery because other reviewers thought it was too heavy, and it lifted the computer up too high in the back. I have found after using this product for a week that it has worked extremely well. The battery lasts at least four hours using this to surf the web or watch movies. I normally carry my computer in a pack with the original battery and the 12 cell, and I don't think it is too heavy. The battery sticks out under the bottom lifting the computer up. The tilt of the keyboard gives me more air space under the computer, and I like it for typing. I charge it up and run it out. The computer's battery charge indicator works just fine, and I have had no problems with it shutting off early.

Good Charge, Tricky Fit Easily Fixed! Dec 05, 2010
By Judy
Bought this product more than a month ago despite the reviews about the loose fit and bad charge. Initially, I loved the long battery life and didn't mind the extra weight and bulge. Later, I realized that the battery didn't 'click' when I placed it in, and it would easily pop out. So, I went online hunting to solve my issue and found a great youtube video explaining how to make it 'click' and lock. (I have an HP G60) The problem is, to make the battery lock in, A LOT of pressure needs to be put on the battery itself and the sliding tab-thingy that pops the battery in and out needs to be pushed HARD to the lock side. Press down on the battery where the hinges are, push the slide tab with force, and CLICK! Battery locked in, no loose battery, and long life! I love it and the price is way better than paying more than $100.

smooth sailing Apr 11, 2010
By A. Imondi
i like this battery, i have an hp dv5 and my previous battery (that Bestbuy's warranty center said was running at its regular charge/discharge times) would die after an hour of streaming movies online (in balanced power mode) this battery under the same setting (first time charge) lasted about 3 hours, I'm currently running off its second charge and it seems to be running longer than that as the battery is calibrated. HP's battery check came back all clear no bad cells or any other problems. ALSO i failed to see this in the features area but this battery DOES have the charge status indicator (that looks similar to Xbox 360'c circle of lights but white lights, not green) and external charging port.
so far I'd say this was a great buy. oh and for the size, it makes my model laptop stand up about and inch in the back so its angled but i have no problem with that. and some review(s) stated that upon jiggling this battery their computer would loose power/restart, I have tried to make this problem reoccur on my laptop (again, dv5t model) and failed to do so, even went as far as to pick it up and shake it a little, all good there (not too hard though, its a laptop not a dog toy.)

 Utterly Worthless - Avoid at all costs Oct 10, 2010
By Jason Hickson
"Dante76"
So I went against my better judgment, thinking "There are more 5 star ratings than 1 star ratings, so it must be OK overall", and purchased this battery. A few things: 1) The shipping time was not good. It took them 5 days to process & ship my order for 1 battery. 2) When I got the battery, which arrived in fine condition and properly packaged, I attempted to pop it into my laptop. Instead of clicking right in, I had to jostle the eject button back & forth while simultaneously doing the same with the battery. I shouldn't have to jerry-rig my new battery just to get it to fit. 3) I charged the battery from 2pm on Saturday until 9am on Sunday (that's 19 hours for those keeping score) and, during that time, it had periods where it would say "Plugged in, not charging" and I'd have to restart the computer. It would start charging again, then fall back to "not charging." So, after 19 hours of expected charging, the battery was still only at 91%. That may sound like a high percentage, but the packaging that came with the battery indicated it would be fully charged in no more than 10 hours, so to not be at 100% after almost double the recommended time is unacceptable.
So I figure "This is as good as it's going to get" and unplug my AC adaptor to use the laptop in our bedroom. BAM! The laptop dies like there is no battery plugged in to it, even though the laptop clearly recognizes there is, based on the indicator in the system tray. If you read the other 1 star reviews (which I promise you would be 0 stars if Amazon allowed it), you'll see this is a VERY common problem with this battery.
DO NOT DISCOUNT THOSE REVIEWS OR THIS ONE. IF YOU BUY THIS BATTERY, YOU WILL REGRET IT. I hate to say that, as I like to believe most companies try to produce a quality product, but there is no quality to be found in this cruel joke. Bite the bullet, spend the extra few bucks and get a replacement directly from HP. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to start the return process on this piece of junk...

Perfect Replacement At Less Than Half The Cost Jan 23, 2012
By J. P.
"J.P."
The 12-cell battery for my HP DV-4 had failed just 3 months out of warranty and HP advised me to purchase a replacement for $100+. I found this battery and decided to give it a chance. This battery has worked perfectly for my DV-4 and is less than 25% the cost of what it would cost me to purchase an OEM battery. Having used this battery for over 6 months, I haven't had one problem with it and definitely feel it was a great value.
