Hp battery alert 601

Hello. So upon start up of my notebook I would see a Hp battery alert 601 flash. This has been going on for months. My computer shut down on me as I was using it. When I turned it back on I saw the hp battery alert once again, it went to a system recovery screen, when I hit start with system repair a blue screen flashed and it shut down. I replaced the internal battery but when I restart the same hp battery alert screen still flashes followed by the windows recovery screen. If I select the startup repair it says problem cannot be fixed, if I select start windows normally it goes to the starting windows screen, the screen goes black and goes back to the hp battery alert screen. At this point I don't know what to do. Any suggestions please?

The battery needs calibrated or replaced.
To resolve a Battery Alert message, you should perform the Battery Test in the System Diagnostics (F2) environment, and calibrate the battery for best performance.
To access the HP System Diagnostics Battery Test , turn on the computer and immediately press the ESC key to display the Startup Menu. Press the System Diagnostics F2 key, and then select the Battery Test option.

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.

Battery Error 601 and Notebook will not boot

My notebook will not bootup anymore. It was running fine then I just closed the screen and went to class. Usually this just puts it to sleep. When I opened it back up, it would not start... It was totally dead. When I plug it into the charger, I see a "Pimrary Battery Error" 601 displayed for a few seconds and then it starts to bootup. It never fully boots-up, it shuts off totally before I get past the little HP splash.
When I plug the charger into the notebook, I see the charging orange LED for a little while, but then it switches to white and then back to orange and then totally off. I have tried multiple chargers and it always does the same thing.
Since the notebook will not boot even when plugged in, I am suspecting something in the charging system/main board more than the battery. Is there anyway to tell which components are bad?
This is an almost 2 year old Envy 4-1215dx, Product ID: D1A99UA#ABA
It's been a great notebook upto now... Any ideas on what to check and how?
Steve

Here's a link with an explaination and troubleshooting steps for the error you are experiencing.
HP Battery Alert
You can also try a Hard Reset in order to get you PC to boot long enough to run a diagnostics.
Hard Reset
You may also try with the battery removed and just the AC Adapter.
If nothing seems to work you can always try a new main battery since they usually are fairly inexpensive. Just Google the Part# shown on your battery.

HP Compaq 6730s battery error 601

Hi, I have HP Compaq 6730s running Windows Vista.
When I switch my laptop on it shows HP battery alert: Error code 601 but I can go on with using it. Since the error message my laptop switches off (with a strange noise) on its own whenever I work.
I use my laptop without the battery nowadays (I took it out and I bought a new adaptor suitable for my HP). However, my Compaq keeps on turning off. Sometimes I can work hours but sometimes it turns off when I log in. I think the battery is not a single problem. I have my laptop for 3 years.
Please help.

Hi,
This error code actually refers to your notebooks main battery and not the internal RTC ( CMOS ) cell as it may seem to indicate - see the document on the link below for further details regarding this.

My Hp Pavilion x2 10-020nr is showing a "Battery Alert" and will not start.

I've recently purchased the Hp Pavilion x2 10-020nr about a week ago, and have used it moderately everyday since.
I have not over-charged it or downloaded any malicious apps/software (as far as I know) but today I tried to turn it on after charging and all I got was a black screen that says
"HP Battery Alert.
The system has detected the storage capacity of the battery stated below to be very low.
For optimal performance battery may need to be replaced.

Israr,
Then error indicates that the primary battery (the one you can remove and replace) has a hardware failure. You should run Battery Check in HP Support Assistant.

6750 How can I get a ''Low Battery Alert'' from my...

I have recently bought a 6750. At one point I realized that my phone died without any warning. Went through the User Guide, nothing.
Went through the phone and only found one thing under: >Settings > Tones > Other Tones, ON or OFF. I set it to ON.
Is this going to solve my problem or is there something else that I need to set?
How can a mobile not come by default with a low battery alert?
Maybe the OVI Suite should have a GUI to help setup the phone with all the proper instructions?

the only way to find out if warning tones set to on will work is to let the battery run low again
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Program start on critical battery alert

Hey,
in windows XP i had the possibility to start a program once the battery of my notebook reached the 0%mark (or in other words I could choose to start an application as an action on the "critical battery alert".) This feature was removed in Windows Vista :(
Will it be available in Windows 7 again? Is there anything I can do to catch this event with the task-scheduler? I searched the forum, no topics about it.
I did a google research - many people would like this feature.
I searched for the event-id of the critical battery alert in the event-log but didn't find anything.
has anyone any more information? Why has this feature been removed? How can i work around it without starting my application manually or leaving it running the whole time?
thanks,
alex

How do I turn off the low battery alert for my wireless keyboard?

The question is in the subject line. I find it kind of annoying to have to keep closing the alert window, and am still able to use the keyboard for a while past when the low battery alerts began. I tried system preferences for both alerts and for the keyboard but am not seeing how to adjust it there. Any help is appreciated! And yes I understand changing the batteries would probably help but I am comfortable using the full life of the batteries rather than changing them out right away.

Edit: Oh I found a possible, but drastic solution: disable the whole notification centre:
http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/how-to-completely-disable-notification-center-in-mac -os-x/
I haven't tested this long enough to know if it helps yet, but it is easy to turn on again. I am so annoyed with not being able to disable these warnings that I am more than happy to disable the whole notification centre, if that is what Apple wants us to do to sort this annoyance.

No more "Low Battery" alert

hi,
my macbook doesn't give me anymore the "low battery" alert...
i can't understand why...
anyone could help me?
sorry for my english...

Have you ever calibrated your battery?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
Is your machine shutting down before your battery indicator gets very low... or is the display showing it has run out but just not giving a warning?
Reset your System Management Controller (SMC). This can sometimes help with power-related issues. Be sure to follow the instructions for your particular model as they vary from machine to machine:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
I would suggest resetting the SMC first as it is quick and simple. Calibrating your battery at this point may be difficult if your machine is not shutting down properly when your battery is low.

Internal Battery Error 601

The 601 error is a problem with the main battery which I suspect is just old. Have you tried removing the battery and starting the laptop with just the power adapter?

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!
