Am using Hp G62, Windows 7 ultimate. 

At start, the system pauses on a black screen showing "primary battery capacity is low, consider replacement"... Though not exact statement. 

What do I do?

On startup, HP utilities perform a system validation. Once your computer has passed this check, the utilities then performs a battery check by examining the remaining capacity of the primary battery as well as the capacity of any secondary battery that may be installed.

 

In order to confirm that the battery results are accurate, update the BIOS to the latest version, and then run the battery test again from UEFI Setup or HPSA. For more information on how to update the BIOS, please see the appropriate support document for specific steps:
