A:Answer Hey Lizzz, this laptop recharges the battery up to 50% within 45 minutes when the system is off (using “shut down” command). It is recommended for use with the HP adapter provided with the notebook, and not recommended with a smaller capacity battery charger. After charging has reached 50% capacity, charging speed will return to normal speed. Charging time may vary +/-10% due to System tolerance.
As with all batteries, the maximum capacity of any battery included in the HP Hardware Product will decrease with time or use, and the battery cycle life will vary depending on product model, configuration, loaded applications, features, use, wireless functionality, and power management settings.
