Hi all!
I have a HP dv6000 laptop, bought it around 18 months back.
The laptop battery has fallen to 10% of origin capacity.
I'm trying to buy a new battery, but the HP battery costs a bit too high...
Has anybody used a battery on the HP 6000 series which is non-HP?
Is it safe to do this?

Thank you for your reply, jermaghs07
Unfortunately, my HP warranty has expired. I have heard that normal battery life is around 12-18 months after which you would need to get a new one. Isn't that true?

no, i own or have own 3-5 yr old laptops with the original battery ,still holding charge for up to 2 hrs
Yea. I have had laptops that the battery lasts like caperjack said almost 5 years.
I would buy a replacement battery and use it for a while, if after 18 months it does the same thing you might want to take your computer to a tech and let them check it over and see if there is anything wrong.
When buying a new battery, remember the more cells the better.
