notebook battery text revealed test results says: Primary Cell number has OmV

[gregaryous]

My laptop battery was holding a charge for about three quarter of a hour. ..then quickly deteriorated , now doesnt hold enough power to allow removal of adapter plug. Battery is hp prob the orighinal  made in 2008. I did test with hp diagnostic tool and results said it was ' Very weak' with full charge capacity of 472 mAh  ...and other significant finding was   that its primary cell number one had OmaV ... this cell cell amongst a readout saying that this was one of  4 cell findings...the other had average 3200 mAh.  Does this mean that that one cell failed . and this cell is possibly keeping the pack from charging. I hear that number one cell in the pack is usually the one that fails but i am thinking that this pack has 6 cells ...the readout saying that the pack had a 5100 mAh capacity ..at one time in the past. Are my interpretations correct?  thx, gary T, boise

You've got a very good battery. After 10 years of hard work, it's time to replace it.

Each battery can ONLY survice a number of charging cycles. 10 years or 3650 days and let's say you charged your machine every second day that means it went thru 1825 cycles. Too many too much.
