I am using a 4 cell lithium ion battery for my laptop.

Yesterday night I left it charging.
When I switch on my laptop today morning it didn't work.
When I connected the power cable it start working.

I don't think battery is wear out as it is bought recently.

Today morning battery is 100% and is not working a while before it is 89% now it says 0%.

If the battery is wear out then the voltage must be low but it shows 14.5v so there is something wrong but what happened?

It says that my battery is damaged but how come a newly bought battery spoil that quickly and i took lot of care without giving any strain.

HP Recommended

What are the result of the test: cycle count, cell voltages?

Is this new battery - HP OEM battery or third party?

Hi,


Do a hard reset: http://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c01684768

Reload BIOS to default: http://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c00034791

See if it comes up with any improvement.

Other than suspecting it to be a bad battery, I don't see anything else to be an issue in your case. Just contact HP or seller from which you bought this, to file a RMA.

Well I can see that cell 3 is going for fail. That means battery is bad.

HP Recommended

So can it be repaired or somehow replaced or atleast make it work for some more days.
