I recently replaced my HP laptop battery and ran the HP Battery Check utility. Even after draining the battery completely to 0% and fully charging it back up multiple times, the utility still shows a "Calibrate" warning.
My original battery was rated at 52 Wh, but the new one only shows 50 Wh as the design capacity. This, along with the calibration warning even after proper charge cycles, is concerning. (52wh is mentioned in order invoice)
Questions:
Why is the new battery showing only 50 Wh instead of the original 52 Wh?
Is the “Calibrate” warning expected even after full discharge/recharge?
Is there a specific procedure I should follow to properly calibrate this battery?
Any help or explanation would be appreciated. Thank you!
