Envy 14 New Battery mWh

So, started using my Envy 14 after a few months hiatus where my wife stole it, I'm trying to figure out what condition the battery is in. Battery Bar is showing it as having 56,141 mWh at full capacity. I'm pretty sure it was at around 59,000 mWh when new (which would make sense given the battery's design capacity) and so it seems Battery Bar isn't seeing correct info.

So, anybody know what his puppy's supposed to be when new?

Thanks!

 

may be it will increase after some cycle charge. mine is 60,266mwh now after i used for a few days

 

Thanks, that's about what I expected. This battery's almost a year old, so 5% battery wear wouldn't surprise me (and actually would be pretty good).

 

the stock battery capacity is 59,200 mWh.

unfortunately Bios update F.23 hides that and just makes current max capacity equal to original max capacity.

just take what you have minus 59200 and divide that number by 59200

then multiply it by 100%. That'll give you your current battery wear

 

You could have a battery rated for 56600 instead of 59200, as found in certain batches of ENVY 14 1x00 series.

 

Thanks for all the input. I do seem to remember the number 59,200 now that I see it in print, and so I'm thinking @MagusDraco is correct here. And I'm okay with 5% wear after almost a year--that's much better than some other laptops I've had.

 

Have they come out with any upgrades to the Envy 14 battery. Im using the first generation one right now, and noticed the battery, even on light internet browsing is only lasting 2.5hrs at most.
All the new laptops coming out are getting 6-8hrs of life, cant we get that with the Envy?

 

nah. that's more of an architecture and motherboard and cpu update not a battery update.

envy 14 gen 1 and gen 2 use the exact same battery.

gen 1 just drains quicker

 

aww nuts. and they dont have like a high-capacity battery? with the way technology moves now days.
Oh well. Ill deal, Thanks for the info Mangus

 

Battery tech moves quite slowly compared to other technologies, most high capacity batteries either add more cells or use prismatic cells to fill up all of the space inside the battery casing more efficiently. The envy already uses prismatic cells, and the battery/HDD cover makes it kind of hard to enlarge the casing, so HP is forced to offer a slice type battery instead
