Beverly Hills, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) April 1, 2013 -- The HP Pavilion batteries are composed of lithium-ion cells that are designed to hold power for extended amounts of time. This is manifested by the increase in the mAh value which determines the longevity of the power storage. The mAh value, which is an abbreviation for milliampere-hour, is the international standard employed of measuring the strength and capacity of a battery to store power. Generally, the more the battery cells plus their circuit boards enclosed in a case, the longer the time the machine will have power.
The HP Pavilion DV4 battery has a mAh value of between 4400/6600mAh. It is a six cell battery and consequently, it has an approximately ten hour power supply when not in the reach of an outlet. This is possible even when the laptop is being subjected to optimum use and the power mode engaged. There are other uses that the machine can be employed to that have a high power thirst such as gaming experiences. It is black in color externally. It has a volt requirement of 10.8V.
How long the HP Pavilion DV4 battery holds power is also dependent on the condition of the machine. For example a machine with a poor cooling system or a faulty system such as poor maintenance of the machine will result in high power demands hence lower periods of power retention.
The HP Pavilion DV4 battery has an approximately two hour charging period. This is definitely founded on the assumption that the power outlet is functioning as it is supposed to.
Maintenance of the HP Pavilion DV4 battery falls under the umbrella of ensuring general safety of the laptop. This entails among others, guarding against contact with water, exposure to intense heat as well as impact that may lead to physical damage. It is imperative to note that when one has just acquired a laptop or a new battery, it is advisable that the battery gets fully charged. There are cases where these batteries indicate after a few minutes that they are already full yet they have not been charged previously. In this case, one is advised to dislodge the battery from the laptop and later place it back. Thereafter, one can continue charging it safely.
There are some people who allege that charging the HP laptop battery and then emptying the battery by using the laptop until it shuts down helps prolong the economic life of the battery. This is what pundits refer to as conditioning. Please note that this is not the case for HP Pavilion batteries as they are lithium-ion batteries which do not need conditioning.
The HP Adapter is black in color. It ranges from 65W-90W. When one is purchasing the adapter, the battery voltage of the machine should be considered to make sure that the adapter and the battery are compatible. This is because the adapter has different outputs and the batteries also require different inputs.
The maintenance of the HP AC Adapter includes taking precaution not to subject it to physical impact as well as vigorous twisting and turning that may end up cutting the wires inside. For example, when one is travelling, one needs to pack it properly.
