HP Pavillion dv4 new battery Tips
Question : “HP Pavillion dv4 original battery only charaged once then went to 0%, plugged in, not charging. Geek said it was a bad hp pavilion dv4 battery. I purchased a new hp pavilion dv4 battery and it only charged one time and is now 0% , plugged in, not charging. Same as original bat. What’s up? Is it my computer or the battery?

New hp dv4 battery charged from 80% to 100% in 15+ minutes. We then, per the instructions with the new battery,ran the computer on battery power until recharge was indicated. We re-installed the power cord (nothing happened, so we let it go overnight) the battery power indicator then showed 0%, plugged in, not charging!!!”
Best Answer:

Did you try removing the laptop battery and cleaning the connectors on the laptop? Also follow the steps and check if it is charging.

Remove the battery and power cord.

Hold the power button for a little more than 30 seconds

Connect the battery

Connect the power cord and turn on the external power

Turn on the PC

Now wait for a while and check if it is charging.

If the charging light comes on, leave in the charging mode for around 3 hours. Now follow the steps

Restart into safe mode.

When you get into windows, note the time and disconnect the external power source.

Wait until the PC shuts down.

Note down the time.

The difference is the battery backup time. If it is greater than 1.5 hours, your hp dv5 battery is good. Else you need to take your Laptop to a HP service center to get the connectors checked.”

Other Question:

“how is the hp pavilion dv4 battery life”

Answer: “was concerned about the Battery Life as well, and I still am. I haven’t done too much testing yet, but from my initial usage I am seeing around 2 hours with general usage (browsing the Internet, using messengers, doing a video chat for maybe 30 mins) There are settings to change between conserving power and system performance so you can adapt it to what you like.

I imagine with Power saving mode on and light usage it will get over 2 hours (but not near 3 hours) with High Performance mode and heavy usage (photoshop, gaming especially) you would probably get an hour maybe 1 1/2 hrs.

besides those laptop battery issues this is a wonderful computer and I’m very impressed. It runs very fast and speeds through everything I’ve thrown at it (Including large photoshop files that take my desktop over 30 seconds to even load)

hope this helps!”
