HP might have a solution to laptops batteries slow death thanks to a Boston-Power-made battery. The battery, dubbed Enviro by HP, should hit select platforms in early 2009 features with some kick-ass features. Allegedly, the battery can be be charged to 80% in just 30 minutes and will not degrade before a 1,000 re-charges. HP is backing the battery with a 3-year warranty to ensure consumers know this battery means business. Truthfully though, we have heard and been burned by fanciful battery claims in the past so while this sounds great, we’ll wait until we can test it ourselves.
I wish they would make this for my cell phone. The Motorola battery lasts about 5 minutes. Its good to be skeptical and test it first. I just wanted to say that HP is a reputable company, and if there willing to offer a 3 year warrante, I would think it must be a pretty good battery. Im sure HP tested it pretty hard before “they put there money where there mouth is.”
good concept.
