Recommended HP pavilion dv7 laptop battery care best practices

Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture a battery; do not short the external contacts on a battery; and, do not dispose of a battery in fire or water.

Do not leave HP pavilion laptop batteries exposed to high temperatures for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to heat (for example, inside a hot car) accelerates the deterioration of Li-Ion cells.

Discharge the battery to 50-70% and remove the battery if the computer will be stored (turned off and not plugged into HP PPP017H AC Adapter) for more than one month.

If the battery will be in prolonged storage, check the capacity every six months and recharge to 50-70%.

If you have a choice of battery types to use with your computer, use the type of battery with the highest capacity (Ah) rating.

Run Battery Check in the HP Support Assistant once a month to maintain the pavilion dv7 battery.

Calibrate the battery based on the results shown in HP Support Assistant. Under normal usage, HP Pavilion DV6 Batteries should be calibrated a minimum of once every 2 – 3 months; however, a battery that is rarely discharged fully, should be calibrated about once a month.

Keep the HP pavilion dv7 laptop battery away from children.

Use only the battery provided with the computer, a high quality replacement battery provided by AussieBatt, BattFast, or a compatible battery purchased as an accessory.
