@COUNTERFELT, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Battery Counterfeit Message on Startup!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
The "Battery Counterfeit" message when starting your HP laptop indicates that the laptop has detected a battery that may not be genuine or officially recognized by HP. Here are steps to resolve this issue:
Verify Battery Authenticity:
- Ensure that the battery in your laptop is an original HP battery. Counterfeit batteries may not meet safety and performance standards.
Replace the Battery:
- If it is determined that the battery is counterfeit, consider purchasing a new, authentic HP battery from an authorized dealer.
Check Battery Installation:
- Ensure that the battery is properly installed. Sometimes reseating the battery can help resolve such messages.
Update BIOS/Drivers:
- Make sure your BIOS and drivers are up-to-date, as outdated software can sometimes misidentify the battery.
Hope this helps!
Take care, and have an amazing day!
