is a 12 cell for the dv5000.

also how long am i supposed to charge the dv5t for, because i cant find out how long from any manuals.

 

No, the 5000 series is a couple generations old (I have one). There is currently no 12-cell available for the dv5.........

 

well i sure hope they make one..thanks for the info

 

yeah what he said.

It would 5 digits if anything.

Ex 1. DV51002NR
EX 2. DV5-1002NR

 

I don't like the new numbering system. Aside from the extra digit, it looks very much like an older model........

 

I know, but it really makes it feel different. Like with the old number system a newer version would come out every few months. It went from DV9500 to DV9700. I guess this way it just stays DV7T or DV5T the entire time. They just have the less seen numbers to distinguish it. I much prefer it this way. You won't feel like crap when a new model comes out.

On a side note, it is late and I didn't proofread my last post... lol So here's a quick fix.

It would be* 5 digits if anything.

 

I bought a 12 cell for my dv5 1008ca from ebay. just got it today and it fits great. tested it and ran a dvd for over 3 hours with battery to spare. shipped to canada in 7 days. it says hp on the back but im sure its a knock off. anyway just thought some dv5 owners might want to be able to use there system for more than a hour. battery cost me 144.0 including shipping to canada from china

 

Blazinlow, this is about 2 months old. Just fyi, everyone knows there is a 12 cell available now.

 

ahh really i searched every forum and could not find anyone that had one. i thought it was my lucky day when i found one lol

 

I agree, first I,ve seen. Can you order one from HP yet other than a new build? BLAZINLOW--Who is the seller on E-Bay?

Magic

 

There are quite a few sellers on Ebay. Batterystars is selling a lot of them. I don't know how trustworthy these are though. Any opinions/thoughts?

 

I'm tempted to order one from ebay, BLAZINLOW, are you happy w/ the purchase? How about posting a pic?? =) Which seller was it??? I'm hesitant to getting ripped off from a seller in China...

 

It Was Bought From Battery Stars On Ebay. I Dont Have Any Pics But Its A Good Battery. Still 100% Happy

 

That is the image

if you want more power ,You should consider The 12 Cell battery

 

The issue is not so much getting "ripped off" by a seller in China --- the problems have more to do with shipping to and from China. If you think you might have to return or exchange the product, some buyers report that when they attempt to send the product back, the sellers don't always receive them. Also, shipping to and from China is very expensive, so that is something else to consider.

 

just buy the battery from hp store full stop.
