I owned one of these new from hp. my battery would last up to 4- 1/2 hours. But I followed the owners manual. And this is the best laptop that HP has made in a while. and If I had extra money I would buy myself another one.

This is a great laptop. Buy it. You can get larger replacement batteries for $35 with 50% more battery length. Browsing the internet, the battery should last 4 hours with stock battery.

RE: FriedhoffJust a friendly reminder: HD level performance w/ GN40 means battery life will drop. Likely a lot. Link above shows current set up consumes 8W whereas GN40 setup consumes 14W... That *roughly* translates to only 40% drop in battery life, so 9 hours would become 5 hours!

It depends on your performance settings and what you're doing on the laptop. I use mine with high performance and generally use light programs (MS Office) and web browsing and it generally lasts about 2-4 hours depending. The life of the battery can extend quite beyond that I believe by turning off features and downgrading performance, but I have not really explored those features fully.

The HP 4530s battery has been very dependable. I've had the laptop for roughly 2 years and I still get a least 3 hrs. of use on the battery. Obviously how you have it set up - "Power Saver" mode versus "Optimized", screen brightness, when to turn off display and when it goes into sleep all make an impact (as well as what programs/software you're using). It has always met my needs better then other laptops I have previously owned. I hope this answers your question. You should not be disappointed.

I really think the battery is ok, i have bought two of this laptop and if you are using it continuosly the battery life is approx 10hrs.

I'm a highschool student and I like to bring my laptop to school to take notes on sometimes and pull op google or notes from my teachers website, so through one school day (8 hours) I'd drive through about 60% of the battery, using the laptop as a resource maybe once or twice for maybe 30 minutes at a time. I don't normally turn off my computer either.

I think li-ion rechargeable battery is the latest and greatest rechargeable battery. They have no charge memory not like ni-ca rechargeable battery. You can charge them when they are 90% full or 10% full but they count the time of charging. Once they are fully charged and goes into stand by charge mode. I think this has to do with the charge management in the charger. Individual li-ion cell is 3.7 volt. Usually they stack up 4 together to get 14 some volts for the laptop. Their cell size is not comparable with regular AA, D C battery because their voltage is much greater than 1.5 volt. Those li-ion should out last regular battery for HP g60-120us. I think my original battery for my g20 laptop was nimh not li-ion. Most of the cell phone and camera are using li-ion batteries now. I hope the above info out of my small head can help you or confuse you more.

I actually don't know w/o doing some research. This one provides about 2 hours of battery life for an older HP laptop. The laptop is on travel right now so cannot verify the model number.

Chris, When I reaseched this battery I was very specific as to the model of my HP laptop. I don't know if this battery fits your laptop. However, if it does the price is great for a 12-cell, but the battery life wasn't as good as I expected. I was hoping for perhaps 5 hours. I haven't been able to get more then perhaps 3 hours to date. I hope this helps.

Honestly not that long... laptop might say it has about 4 hrs left of battery life 30 mins later it will say 1hr30mins left

I did not use the Lenovo as a portable device that often. My answer on battery life is that it is AVERAGE. Lenovo maintains "up to 5 hours" (Lithium, 4-cell, 32Wh) in their official specs, but I would mark that down to 4-4.5 hrs. (the battery is only 4-cell). I sold this unit only because the keys were too stiff for my MS riddled hands and switched to a noisy HP ENVY with soft keys. All in all, (for the rest of you) it is a GREAT machine!!! Thanks for your inquiry.

Mine is a HP G62 and it doesn't fit exactly right. If I don't move it its fine. But if I pick it up without holding the battery it will fall out. I thought it was great at first until I picked it up. Which I hardly ever move my laptop so it doesn't bother me much. And the extended life you get is good. It stays charged for about 5 hours of continued use.

I bought it 6 months ago and the battery doesn't hold it's charge more than one hour. In the Linux panel I can see 3 hours of battery in the first time I turn on the notebook, but, as the time is going, these 3 hours showed in the panel is becoming minutes in just 1 real hour.

Battery life is great! I get about 3+ hours of basic use (browsing, etc) and about 1.75-2 hours using photoshop, light gaming, etc. if you manually specify most programs to use the intel graphics it lasts quite a while more than the nvidia graphics, but you'll always trade power for speed. Overall it's a great setup and I've thoroughly enjoyed mine for both work (photographer) and play (gamer).

ours is a G60. I probably would not buy this battery again. It gets really hot and will only hold a charge for about 20 minutes if its been plugged in. Better probably to spend the big bucks and get another HP brand battery. 1 star review
