HP G62 battery customer review:
Long life battery it isn't!!! I'm very disappointed! This so-called long life battery isn't so long life! May as well have kept original HP G42 battery and not wasted time and money. Also, it took 20 days to receive this battery. There was free shipping but come on, 20 days?!?! Wasn't worth the wait!!
For the added cost, this 9 cell Compaq Presario CQ62 battery does not provide that much additional life. HP is offering a 12 Cell on other Pavillions, such as the DV5's, DV6-1000's and DV6-2000's but apparently will not make it available for the DV-3000 series units. HP must not want our accessory business.... We really need a 12 cell for extended run time. Also, most online laptop battery sources offer free 2-3 day Priority mail delivery. Sorry HP, I'll go elsewhere for future purchses if you can't be competitive on accessories....
Since then, several weeks ago, it has consistently reported the condition of the battery as "Good," and I have not had any issues. The charge lasts as long as the old HP (the one I replaced) battery did when the notebook was new. Only the battery last time is not as long as i expected.
I installed the battery and it works great. It does get pretty hot when charging but not much different than the OEM Compaq Presario CQ72 battery that came with the laptop.
Pros: looks good; elevates the laptop (great for 14in laptops)
Cons: a bit heavier than the conventional battery, the battery life is short, tried it for 3 cycles and not it seems to get drain really fast.. :( and if i test it with HP battery check would indicate poor battery... but still need further observation...
