My battery in my laptop will not charge it always says 0% and charging then it will say 100% charged and if I pull the A/C power it goes blank like it has no power. The battery is a Lithium-ion.

Computer works fine on A/C power

I called HP and they want like over $150 for a battery.

Somone suggested I update the drivers for the battery and power system

Any other suggestions before I buy a battery?

I have always cycled this battery aleast 1 time every two weeks, I would not think a lithium-ion battery would just croak out of the blue like a Ni-cad

 

Pick up a battery of eGay

its not under warranty is it?

 

Happens on laptops, they all die eventually, mine lasts for 17 minutes now .

 

Same hur.

eBay has tons of new ones for cheap'er.

 

They go boom :eek4:.

 

I took her apart, found nothing out of place. I guess im gonna order a new battery.
warranty is expired

 

I've gone through 3 or 4 batteries on my laptop. Luckily I get them for free :rick:

 

No eBay batteries for me, Not even a genuine parts and yet is only $20.00 cheaper. I think I will by direct from HP
