Lenmar Battery: Eliminates the Competition

Reviewing: Lenmar Lbhp088 Aa
Purchased at: Staples.Com     Price: $80.00 USD

I had bought this replacement battery a couple of years ago from Staples.com, and ever since, I've been highly satisfied as to the performance of the battery. It's indeed reliable, and I think it's safe to say that it's up there when you're comparing this battery in particular and of course, the original laptop battery that came with it upon purchase. The laptop happens to be an HP Pavilion DV6000, or more specifically, one of the best notebooks that I've ever owned. Shame the battery failed on me, though!

The battery itself, appearance-wise, is pretty simple-looking due to its straightforward black touch-up (I mean, c'mon, who'd be looking for ever-so-colorful notebook batteries?). However, it would have been nice if it were universal and were compatible with many other notebook brands out there as this one, according to the label, is only made to fit with either the DV6000, or the 2000. Additionally, the battery includes a 1-year warranty, something that laptop owners are usually concerned of whenever spending a good deal of money on such an accessory, or at least I am.

It's made out of lithium-ion (or Li-Ion), the same type that can only continue to increase in popularity in this day and age. Just knowing that one bit pretty much assured me that this was worth the near one hundred bucks, given that lithium-ion batteries, when not in use, tend to slowly, and I mean SLOWLY, lose battery power which is a good thing considering that other types, such as the highly common NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride), have the tendency of losing charge power rather too quickly.

Above all, should the day that this battery suddenly dies off arrive, there's no doubt in my mind that I'll be buying yet another one, since in my opinion, it's simply that good and worth every penny!

That's a great tip you just gave us on how to find this product at a better price. I was looking for a new battery for an older laptop and they wanted $150.00 for it! No I didn't buy it from that store! This one sounds great!

Yes, that's much less than I was quoted to get a battery for my older laptop (I just plug it in now). Sounds good!

I think this is probably the least expensive laptop battery I have seen-we have a HP notebook too-I will keep this in mind when we're in the market for a battery (which might be soon!)

Cool. I hope I don't need one anytime soon! But it's good to know of one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!
