Notebook PC batteries should provide a long charge time, recharge quickly, and be designed for safety. As referenced in a HP-Sony joint media statement, the batteries for HP notebook PCs go above and beyond other batteries by minimizing risk and helping to ensure long-term performance.
Lithium-ion batteries are currently the most advanced and commonly used battery types in use. Batteries, also commonly referred to as battery packs, refers to the assembled units and generally contain multiple battery cells as well as associated electronics.
HP Batteries stand out because they:
Offer enhanced battery life and quick recharge
HP batteries stand out for their long battery life as well as the HP Fast Charge and HP Enhanced Fast ChargeŽ technologies that efficiently yet safely charge HP notebook PC batteries. These technologies offer:
•
Charge rates that comply with Lithium-ion battery cell manufacturer recommendations.
•
Proven, standards-based algorithms to control battery voltage and charging current.
•
Redundant safety mechanisms in both the battery pack and the notebook PC to help prevent over-charging.
Meet high safety standards
HP batteries are designed to help prevent problems before they happen. HP notebook PC systems are designed to always be one step ahead of the game so that you don't have to worry.
•
Minimize heat: HP notebook PCs are designed to minimize heat within the system. Each HP notebook thermal solution is designed to maintain the entire battery pack at a safe operating temperature and create a consistent temperature gradient across the pack.
•
Power management: The power load on the system is managed so that, in the unlikely event that battery over-heating was detected, the system would initially be throttled. If the over-heating were to continue, the system would be shut down. In the event of insufficient power to run the system, a controlled shutdown would occur to avoid the risk of data loss.
•
Diagnostic tools: HP Info Center provides a battery diagnostic utility that can verify battery functionality and health.
•
Minimize risk: HP battery charging technologies are designed to minimize risk by providing higher performance while meeting applicable battery cell manufacturer recommendations.
Undergo exhaustive testing
HP batteries go through an incredibly rigorous set of testing, including:
•
Fuel gauge accuracy and functionality testing for voltage, current, temperature, capacity, communications and status.
•
Protection circuit functionality testing for over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, short circuit.
•
Environmental testing for ElectoStatic Discharge (ESD) protection, drops, shock and vibration.
•
System integration testing for charging functionality, battery thermals, Inrush current tolerance, critical hibernation and non-operational thermal shock.
Offer compact, comfortable design
HP secondary batteries are designed to not interfere with an optical drive bay. Instead, they connect underneath the system, providing for positive comfort and expanded usability.
