Boston-Power announced earlier today that their line of Sonata Li-ion batteries for 18 HP notebooks (about 70 percent of HP’s lineup) are now available directly from HP. The Sonata batteries were the first to be Nordic Ecolabeled, which essentially means they pollute less by being high capacity, longer lasting and having the “smallest amounts of detrimental heavy metals.” They boast a three lifespan and HP is backing that up by providing a three-year warranty, which is the only one in the market to do so. It’s available now for the following models for $150.
HP Pavilion dv4, dv5, dv6; HP HDX 16; HP G50, G60, G61, G70, G71; Compaq Presario CQ40, CQ45, CQ50, CQ60, CQ61, CQ70, CQ71
A three lifespan; does that include power-ups?
$150? Maybe a little expensive…I have bought a battery for my HP Pavillion DV2804tx, 12 cells 8800mAH, only cost US$56, more importantly,it works perfect.
HP PAVILION DV4000 battery is $ 71.38 for 4400 mAh, $ 83.10 for 8800 mAh
