the only Drawback is that it does not specify the color of the battery, the base of my laptop is Jet Black and the Battery I received is a grey.....now my laptop looks like its wearing someone elses pants. hehe, they should have mentioned the color or atleast an option to choose from. But otherwise the battery is good.

laptop battery is so awesome. I get on average 5-6 hours of charge off of this battery, which is way more than I could have ever imagined. Keep in mind that the 5-6 hours is also because I keep my power settings on HP recommended or power saver options when the laptop is not plugged into the power cord, which is what you should do when your laptop is running only on the battery. But 5-6 hours on average is amazing, when I used to only get about 45 minutes out of the original 6-cell battery that the laptop originally came with. After about 2 years of constant use I was only able to get 45 minutes out of the battery, which would never even charge to a full 100% when plugged in. But deciding to buy this new 12-cell battery was the best choice ever, seriously. And I don't mind that the battery sticks out a little in the back- I look at it as being a 3-in-1 deal because I get an EXTREMELY long lasting battery, the lift cools the laptop, and the lift elevates the laptop at a slight angle making it a lot more comfortable to type: 3-in-1 awesomeness! At it's very sturdy, so no worries there....
