HP Mini 311 - HP Battery Alert - Primary (Internal) Battery (601) - Error Message at Startup

I have a HP Mini 311-1037NR (Product Number is VBM262UA#ABA). My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium.
When I start up my HP Mini 311 I receive the following message:
HP Battery Alert
The system has detected the storage capacity of the battery stated below to be very low. For optimal performance, this battery may need to be replaced.
Primary (Internal) Battery (601)
ENTER - Continue Startup
Here's are my questions:
First of all, what exactly is the problem here? From what I have googled, it would appear the problem is NOT my external battery, but my internal battery. What battery is needing replacement? Does it have a name?
Second, is there a user guide out there that would assist me with the replacement process that someone can provide a link to or at least send me the page that helps me? Is there a YouTube video (even better)?
Third, what exactly is the part number of the battery that needs replacement and exactly where do I purchase it (How much $$ does it cost)? This question is important as I may be able to find out how to replace the battery, but without a way to purchase the replacement battery I'm still dead in the water.
Fourth, my HP Mini 311 just dies when I unplug it. Will a remedy for the above issue remedy this issue as well? I really do enjoy using my little HP Mini, but would prefer to have the option to use it without a power cord.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Hi Tim,
No problem and it's certainly wise to verify an answer.
I'd say you posted your question on the correct board. It's usually best just to post once on the relevant board. I do agree that the term 'internal' does cause unnecessary confusion.
Here's a link to your Maintenance & Service Guide.
Yes, I'm certain that the 601 error code refers to your notebooks main battery ( 602 is a failure code for machines that have a secondary storage cell ). Interestingly, there is no error code generated for a failing rtc battery - or any in built diagnostic test for it, just the usual symptom of the system clock re-setting after each shutdown.
There's also a HP document regarding start-up battery alerts on the following link.

This error is a little confusing. At first glance it appears to refer to the CMOS/RTC battery but does infact refer to the main battery for the notebook. Even though the computer states that the battery is at 100% it would be a good idea to begin by verifying that it is in working condition. I think this is a good first step because while it does show 100% charge, you state the notebook does not work unless it is on AC power. This document discusses the issue further.
As stated in the document the HP Battery Check will need to be run in order to determine if the battery is faulty.
To perform the battery check perform the following steps and post the result.
Unplug the power cord and turn off the computer.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Press the Esc key immediately when seeing the HP or the Compaq logo screen.
The Start Up menu appears.
Press F2 to select F2 System Diagnostics .
Select Battery Test from the list of diagnostic tests.
Plug in the power cord.
Click Start Battery Test on the Battery Test page.
If your battery fails this test it will need to be replaced. To get a replacement battery you will need to contact HP Technical Support. If you are in the US/Canada you can call them at 1-800-474-6836. If you are located outside of this region you will need to go to HP's support site and after selecting your country/region locate "Customer Support" in the bottom right corner to get the contact information for your region.
I hope this helps!

Primary (Internal) Battery for HP G50

I have the following notebook computer
Model: NP531UA HP G50-213CA NB PC FCAN
On startup, I get the following message
HP Battery Alert
The system has detected the storage capacity of the battery stated below to be very low. For optimal performance, this battery may need to be replaced.
Primary (internal) Battery (601)
Questions:
- What battery is this message referring to (the "internal" bit leads me to believe it's the CMOS batttery but would like to be sure)?
- If this is referring to the CMOS battery, and what is the part number?
Thanks

Hi,
The error message is a bit misleading as I believe it refers to your notebooks main battery. One way to confirm this would be to download and run the stand-alone battery test utility available on the page below and see if this reports any problems with your battery.

HP Pavilion dv7 . Primary (internal) Battery (601) charge is low .

                HP Pavilion dv7 . On start-up , message says that Primary (internal) Battery (601) charge is low and needs replacing .
               The PC operates normally on mains supply , so do I really need to replace the battery , being that I always use the PC powered by mains supply .
                If I really must replace the battery , where can I purchase the replacement from , and how much will the replacement cost ?
                 Many thanks ,

Hi,
Just to clarify, the 601 error relates to your notebooks main battery ( not the rtc cell on the system board ).
If you're happy with running the machine on mains power full time, there's no issue with that and you can simply remove the battery.
If you do want to replace the battery at some time, you can order a new one through HP Parts Store or ( and often less expensive ), just google the full Model No. of your dv7 series notebook including the term battery.

Need part number to replace primary internal battery

Hi, I have been receiving Error Code 601 stating my primary internal battery storage capacity is very low. I am trying to find the correct replacement part number. I have been searching the site but am not confident I have the correct part number. My laptop is critical to my job and I must order a replacement ASAP. I appreciate the guidance!

This is a slightly misleading error message as it does in fact refer to your notebooks main battery, not the cmos battery. The reason it is call an internal battery is to distinguish it from the extended batteries that you can purchase with some models that attach to the outside of the laptop. Your battery should have a label with P/N.

Primary Internal Battery needs to be replace?????????

Ok so it comes up saying Primary internal battery 601???? but my notbook is like 2 years old how can the battery be dead? can some plz help me out heres he info on my notbook its a hp pavilion dv7 plz any help would be great

Yes, mine has been saying the same thing for a little while also. It's also a little over two years old. I like HP, but their parts are wearing out quickly. Best Buy tried to tell me my motherboard needed replaced last year for $900 - I left it alone until it started acting up again this year, and it's a $10 inverter that is causing the problem. I have no idea about this primary internal battery yet - I'll be doing some more looking to resolve this for myself as well.

Battery Low Error Message

I have Nokia N97 Mini handset and I am facing problem in it with Battery Low error message, when ever I call someone or I receive any call.
Battery works fine in case of standby mode, or even when I do SMS chat for whole day. Even if I listen to music for 10 to 12 hrs, the mobile works fine, no issue of battery low. But during that if I receive any call, then suddenly it displays the battery low error message and the mobile is switched off.
I try to check everything of it. The mobile functions normal and in good condition in following cases -
1. Wife Connectivity
2. Bluetooth data transfer
3. Sms chat for lets say 12 to 14 hrs.
4. Video play for 2 hrs.
5. Music plays for 10 to 12 hrs.
6. Clicking photos or recording Videos.
7. Browsing internet.
But it only falls down in case of Call. Either I receive call or make a call. I don't know how to Rectify this problem. I had once shown to Nokia customer care, but even after that the problem still remains.
I even try factory restore settings and hard format of OS. But still no improvements.
Can anyone help me in this regard? Any information will be useful information to me....
Please help me out, I am facing a lot of troubles with this matter. Looking forward for your suggestions.

Hi all. After searching alot over the internet, and asking friends , colleauges . I conclude that nokia n97mini battery drop is not caused by background running applications or even battery life problem. Its rather a bug in this handset, which suddenly drops out the battery to zero and phone switches off. Even still battery power exists and you can turn on and start messaging or playing music without recharging it from that state.
Nokia should have take care of this problem as alot of other nokia n97mini users are facing same problem. I am one of those who are unable to find solution for this problem. And so I have no other choice other than to sell this set.
Calling is the major functionality for which we buy a phone, and if handset is unable to let us receive call and talk before which it shuts down, so I think such hand set is a **bleep**.

Hi,
There is a solved thread on this page about this error. The solution is to replace the battery because its storage capacity is low. The right part number can be found in a maintenance and service guide. Go to Support and Drivers page, enter your model and look in User Guides section.

Reinstalled new cmos battery,not error message,code 0176 and 1271

can anyone help me,i installed a new cmos battery and now the IBM thinkpad T42 is coming up with two error messages,
i've looked at what they are , 1 is for time and the other is a security message saying the system has been tampered with,
it ask's for a password,but there wasn't a password installed, so how do i get over this problem?
can someone please help.

Changing the CMOS battery will trigger the Supervisor password if one was set, and it may have been set by a previous owner years ago...
Having said that, password cracking techniques are NOT allowed to be discussed on this forum...
Good luck.

Reg:Internal Popup Window:Error messages

Hi All,
I am using a Internal Popup Window, but the error messages of "Popup window" is shown in the "Parent Window" instead of showing in "Popup Window". please suggest me to get the Error messages in "Internal Popup Window"
Thanks
Nagaraju

Hi Naga,
Disable the parent iviews message area before calling the child(popup) window. Then you can get the message in the child(popup) window.
According to documentation, oldest (parent) message area would be used if there are more than one windows (in a layout).
see this thread also How to display messages in pop up windows?

Hi,
You have to replace the old battery. The part number is: 593554-001 for a 55Wh or 593553-001 for a 47Wh battery. Search the part number on google shopping or ebay for the best price.

What does this mean and what is the remedy, please.

One way to get rid of the issue is to dowload the autoruns utility from Microsoft TechNet's Sysinternals.com. Run the utility and select hide all microsoft instances. Find the batindicator.exe file and disable it.
a video that touches on how to use autoruns. Autoruns is normally used by enthusiasts and experts. I don't know where you are in the user spectrum.
Post your results.
