Running On Battery Power; Factory-Sealed Battery; Removing A User-Replaceable Battery - HP ENVY dv7-7200 User Manual

Running on battery power

When a charged battery is in the computer and the computer is not plugged into external power, the
computer runs on battery power. If the computer has a charged battery installed and the AC adapter
is disconnected from the computer, the computer automatically switches to battery power and the
display brightness decreases to conserve battery life. The battery in the computer slowly discharges
when the computer is off and unplugged from external power.
Computer battery life varies, depending on power management settings, programs running on the
computer, display brightness, external devices connected to the computer, and other factors.

Factory-sealed battery

To monitor the status of your battery, or if the battery is no longer holding a charge, run Battery Check
in HP Support Assistant. To access battery information, select the HP Support Assistant app on the
Start screen, and then select Battery and performance. If Battery Check indicates that your battery
should be replaced, contact support.
