HP Batteries Highest Safety Technology

When you’re considering batteries, you’re worried about more than just how long they last. You want to be assured that you, your home and your business are all highly secure from battery-related dangers.

HP was the only top notebook manufacturer in 2006 and 2007 to not have a battery recall, when other manufacturers experienced major safety issues and recalls. HP’s emphasis on reliability and innovation results in a much higher degree of safety.

HP Batteries meet the highest safety standards

HP batteries are designed to help prevent problems before they happen. HP notebook PC systems are designed to always be one step ahead of the game so that you don’t have to worry.

Minimize heat: HP notebook PCs are designed to minimize heat within the system. Each HP notebook thermal solution is designed to maintain the entire battery pack at a safe operating temperature and create a consistent temperature gradient across the pack.
Power management: The power load on the system is managed so that, in the unlikely event that battery over-heating was detected, the system would initially be throttled. If the over-heating were to continue, the system would be shut down. In the event of insufficient power to run the system, a controlled shutdown would occur to avoid the risk of data loss.
Diagnostic tools: HP Info Center provides a battery diagnostic utility that can verify battery functionality and health.
Minimize risk: HP battery charging technologies are designed to minimize risk by providing higher performance while meeting applicable battery cell manufacturer recommendations.

Here are a few of the ever-evolving safety measures included in HP batteries:

Flame-retardant plastics (rated V-0 by Underwriters Laboratories) exceed industry requirements.
Flexible circuit interconnects help prevent latent failures by eliminating discrete wires that could be pinched during assembly.
A barrier wall helps prevent short circuits and safety hazards by ensuring that, in the event an aging battery leaks, the battery fluid does not reach the circuit board.
A thin conformal coating on the printed circuit board (PCB) protects key components from contaminants that might be introduced during the assembly process.
Battery designs are continually improved and updated to take advantage of the latest industry developments.

HP Batteries offer enhanced battery life and quick recharge

HP batteries stand out for their long battery life as well as the HP Fast Charge and HP Enhanced Fast Charge® technologies that efficiently yet safely charge HP notebook PC batteries. These technologies offer:

Charge rates that comply with Lithium-ion battery cell manufacturer recommendations.
Proven, standards-based algorithms to control battery voltage and charging current.
Redundant safety mechanisms in both the battery pack and the notebook PC to help prevent over-charging.

HP Batteries undergo exhaustive testing

HP batteries go through an incredibly rigorous set of testing, including:

Fuel gauge accuracy and functionality testing for voltage, current, temperature, capacity, communications and status.
Protection circuit functionality testing for over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, short circuit.
Environmental testing for ElectoStatic Discharge (ESD) protection, drops, shock and vibration.
System integration testing for charging functionality, battery thermals, Inrush current tolerance, critical hibernation and non-operational thermal shock.

New HP EliteBook 6930p notebook PC provides up to 24 hours of combined battery life. This solution will require a specific configuration including an 80 GB Solid State drive, an LED display and our Ultra Capacity Battery1. So if you travel across the globe, or spend large chunks of time away from a power source, look to HP to keep you up, running and productive.
