I have been using my HP pavilion g6 for three(3) years now. I decided to change the battery because the old one doesn't last more than 30 minutes.
I have tried four(4) different HP new batteries from different sellers on the system but none ever lasts up to one(1) hour even when left idle. I noticed they follow the same pattern; they decrease arbitrarily.

All the computer gurus in the house, please what should I do? Or what could be the cause?
Am counting on you guys to help me.


NOTE: My system is in its maximum power saving mode. I have also done calibration.

Inside battery, battery dey!!!

OP please get an original battery.

A friend also so had the same experience got a new battery that doesn't even last up top 30mins.

Does that mean this kind of fault can't be from the system?

.
Before you replaced the battery, you never had issues with the PC? If yes, I still recommend you get yourself an original battery

I think you should be aware of the following.

1. You can only get original battery from the manufacturer of the laptop. E.g: Dell, Hp, Asus etc

2. China battery isn't original so no guarantee of how many hour(s) the battery will power you up for.

3. If the battery isn't original is not original so there's nothing as semi-original.

4. Best way to get an original battery is to order from the laptop manufacturer website. You will see where they sell double cell battery or single cell.

5. If you have ample time go to computer village with you laptop buy a follow come battery. Test it there even if u need to spend hours to know how good the battery is.

6. If it is not original then it is China.

7. If you have someone who can assist you to order the battery from Germany ebay u will be wowed.

Aril.....

where the engineers at?

Your ex ryt now

Dispose and get a new one

AMD most likely, 3years? Sell it off and get and Tokonbo at computer village. (or trade it for another HP/Compaq or Dell.)

Make sure your computer isn't set to high performance from your battery options, always set it on power saver or balanced if their is power and or you want to use a power high app. You can never get an original battery in Nigeria, what you will get is either Chinese and this comes as new or U.K. used batteries which are way more better than these Chinese used batteries .

Check HP website and be sure it isn't one of those that were recalled due to certain issues.

Dohh

I tink my ba3 n urs r BUHARIC

Just sell the laptop, Use the money to get original battery..

See https://adiina.com/l/c649
Someone from there might be able to help too.

hmm


fault is both from battery quality and your system config. no matter how fake, these aba batteries could last up to 3hours



HARD FACT:

you can never get another battery that will last as long as the one you replaced reason being because the ones you bought are not original. you have to order from HP directly (not even a dealership) to get a good battery


HELPFUL TIPS:

- put your system on 'battery saver' mode

- reduce screen brightness to the minimal especially when. running on battery

- multimedia activity drains battery faster

- disable unnecessary apps running in the background (on Windows: open run, type 'msconfig' without the quotation marks, go-to startup apps and disable stuff like Google update, Adobe launcher, etc)

- from battery options, set the screen to go dim after a very short while of inactivity (5mins or less)

just do all you can to get a better performance and stop dreaming of a battery that will last like the one that came with the system.

Good Luck (not GEJ)

You may be unable to get a long-lasting battery. Enter any computer village and ask if it can be boosted.

It can be software problems,

Make order from ebay or aliexpress. You will most likely get an oem battery from those sites.
You could also take the laptop to a good engineer to check for possible faults; overheating, excessive use of CPU by certain applications .....

baba did you ever install windows 7 on your pc within that 3 years? if so, your battery is toast

If the battery is upto 2-3 yrs and it was bought from any of the computer shops in Nigeria. It's expected just get a new one.

Also get ready to change it after 1-3yrs time.
