Energizer bunny/battery jokes aside, the battery I have for my HP laptop at full capacity will last me close to 3 hours (really along the lines of 2:45 something), but beyond using power banks, is there a laptop battery out there that can last longer than 3 hours for my HP laptop, or am I stuck with what I got unless I get a new laptop?
Here is a link to its support page
Which battery do you currently have, they list a long life one at the website
The HP Parts Store | HP Computer Parts | HP Printer Parts
There are, or used to be, optional batteries that gave longer charge times but usually physically larger as in 9-cell versus the 6-cell. They did make the Notebooks a bit heavier but also being larger/thicker propped the Notebooks higher on the hinge side [bonus was they made it a little easier for typing].
ok, I expected the amazon webpage for that battery to be up to make it easier, but here it is from my previous orders
Anker High Performance 5200mAh/58Wh Laptop Battery for HP G32 G42 G42T G56 G62 G72 G4 G6 G6T G7; HP Presario CQ32 CQ42 CQ43 CQ430 CQ56 CQ62 CQ72; Envy 17; HP Pavilion DM4 DV3-4000 DV5-2000 DV6-3000
I can't examine my battery for its serial number at this moment, as the laptop its attached to is running an erasure operation on a 2 tb laptop drive for security reasons, but when its finished, I can provide whatever number is needed
You seem to have a pretty high watt battery, have you looked at your power plan to increase battery life?

I called anker support just now, and they can confirm that they don't make the battery I have anymore; plus, with how its been acting (screen has been flickering too many times for my taste), I don't think ill be keeping it for much longer. took it apart, readjusted the connector cables to the monitor and motherboard 3 times, then took it to a computer repair shop; its a pain; ill get a job, sell the laptop on ebay, and buy a different laptop which will last longer (if not, ill look for a longer lasting battery for whatever model I buy
sorry for wasting a topic
Most notebooks now days come without a removable battery at all. the days of putting in larger batteries are long gone. If you want long lasting you need to go for a tablet there built for long-lasting on battery
