HP Pavilion 15-dp0003nv
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

I am using the notebook HP Pavilion 15-dp0003nv  I bought on august 2019 and from the first month of using it, I noticed that the battery was already 1 year old but didn't really think about it all that much.

 

now, after 16 months of using the laptop every day, battery age shows as 2 years,2 months old - cycle count 708/1000 and full charge at 84%

 

is it normal using old batteries in new laptops? can a claim be made in order to replace the battery for free at an hp partner shop or something like that? warranty ended last august unfortunately

 

and an out of topic question: when should I start thinking about replacing a laptop battery? when it reaches 1000 cycles or maybe earlier? this is my first laptop so I don't really know about these things.

 

thanks!
