Good product,
I was reluctant at first to buy this battery because other reviewers thought it was too heavy, and it lifted the computer up too high in the back. I have found after using this product for a week that it has worked extremely well. The battery lasts at least four hours using this to surf the web or watch movies. I normally carry my computer in a pack with the original battery and the 12 cell, and I don’t think it is too heavy. The battery sticks out under the bottom lifting the computer up. The tilt of the keyboard gives me more air space under the computer, and I like it for typing. I charge it up and run it out. The computer’s battery charge indicator works just fine, and I have had no problems with it shutting off early.

Good Charge, Tricky Fit Easily Fixed!,
Bought this product more than a month ago despite the reviews about the loose fit and bad charge. Initially, I loved the long battery life and didn’t mind the extra weight and bulge. Later, I realized that the battery didn’t ‘click’ when I placed it in, and it would easily pop out. So, I went online hunting to solve my issue and found a great youtube video explaining how to make it ‘click’ and lock. (I have an HP G60) The problem is, to make the battery lock in, A LOT of pressure needs to be put on the battery itself and the sliding tab-thingy that pops the battery in and out needs to be pushed HARD to the lock side. Press down on the battery where the hinges are, push the slide tab with force, and CLICK! Battery locked in, no loose battery, and long life! I love it and the price is way better than paying more than $100.

smooth sailing,
i like this battery, i have an hp dv5 and my previous battery (that Bestbuy’s warranty center said was running at its regular charge/discharge times) would die after an hour of streaming movies online (in balanced power mode) this battery under the same setting (first time charge) lasted about 3 hours, I’m currently running off its second charge and it seems to be running longer than that as the battery is calibrated. HP’s battery check came back all clear no bad cells or any other problems. ALSO i failed to see this in the features area but this battery DOES have the charge status indicator (that looks similar to Xbox 360′c circle of lights but white lights, not green) and external charging port.
so far I’d say this was a great buy. oh and for the size, it makes my model laptop stand up about and inch in the back so its angled but i have no problem with that. and some review(s) stated that upon jiggling this battery their computer would loose power/restart, I have tried to make this problem reoccur on my laptop (again, dv5t model) and failed to do so, even went as far as to pick it up and shake it a little, all good there (not too hard though, its a laptop not a dog toy.)
