HP Pavillion DV6-1330CA - Internal battery! - HELP!

[SpideyTX]

Hello everyone:

My HP Pavillion DV6 seems to have some sort of battery problem as it says Error -  hp internal battery 601 on boot up! The laptop is just over year old and out of HP warranty!

I'd like to know if HP can provide/sell this part to me.. Cost? and how can I replace it?

Also, can I get this battery locally or is it a custom battery manufactured by HP only?

Thanks in advance for all the help and suggestions.

It's just referring to the battery.  Replace it and the error message will go away.  You can buy the battery here

Thanks Kalt for the help.

But can any HP associates also confirm the above? And why does it say "Primary Battery"? How can I be sure that I just have to replace the Re-chargeable battery and not the RTC battery/cell?

Please explain.. Thanks..
