How do I find out, if I have high capacity battery, or normal?

I have recently bought HP Laptop. How do I find out, if it has high capacity, or normal battery?

 

Check on the battery, the lower capacity is like 55~60 watt-hours (Wh) the higher one is...well....higher than that I think. I dont' have my HP with me so I don't know.

What size laptop is it? What size battery? 6 cell? 12 cell?

 

It is HP Verve. 6 cell. They have two types of 6 cell - normal and high capacity, which is about 20% bigger The Laptop size is 14.1 in.

 

Well I've got an HP 14 inch and it's the STANDARD capacity battery. Mine says 47 Wh (watt hours) on the back. If yours says 47 Wh then yours is standard capacity. If it says anything higher than 47 Wh, then it's high capacity.

What number does yours say? It says in the corner on the opposite side of the HP logo.

 

for some reason i thought the batterys were 4400mah and 8800mah man was i wrong ( sorry for incorrect units i dont remember lol ). Also if you have RM clock it will tell you details about how much the battery is designed to hold and how much it actualy does hold pretty cool little things to know.

 

yeah Wh (watt hours) measures the amount of energy, ampere hours (ah) or milliampere hours doesn't.

 

The best way to know is to take the battery apart, then throw out the cells and replace them with high performance A123 batteries. You can run your system on two of these cells for much longer than any 12 cell battery can. They are just battery engineering masterpieces, designed by MIT professors.

Anyways, use CPU RIghtmark, it is in the battery tab. It will tell you everything about the battery.
Or what you could do, is take the battery out of your system, and find the model number.
Type the model number into google and you will find out what kind of 6 cell battery it is

Wait....you can do that? Just switch out the cells inside, just like that? No biggy?

 

Well no, Someone who knows what they are doing can, but you would need to build a PCB and a circuit which can make use of the power of the cells and the charging circuit of the laptop. My brother is an electrical engineer and has done so with his laptop, but it really requires a lot of knowledge and skill to do these things.

Darn. Knew it sounded too good to be true. I've dealt with some baterries and tweaking and stuff (robotics club at my university), but I'd be afraid to attempt anything like this on an expensive laptop battery (more importantly the expensive laptop itself). Interesting to know though, K-Tron.

 

Noobs. My way is much better: just remove the cells and replace them with two midgets on treadmills. I get at least 20 hours before I have to replace a midget.

 

lmao wanna help me out with that lithus?

 

I'm all for that. A much more reusable/green approach to energy-usage. I imagine there might be some legal problems of "disposing" of the "little people" afterwards, but just like regular batteries, you can't just "throw them out" either. Thankfully, both battery options are small and are likely to go unnoticed when disposed of inappropriately, given the standards currently in place for waste disposal. At least little people are 100% bio-degradable.
...Alright, I don't think I should say anymore...I've gained respect from dwarves after playing runescape (long ago) and know it is wrong to make fun of them, lest they come after you weilding battle-axes twice their height. Damn it, I did it again, didn't I?
