Beginning in 2009, Hewlett-Packard will offer a notebook battery upgrade that is guaranteed for three years.

The announcement was made Wednesday by Boston-Power, a supplier of lithium-ion batteries that will sell its Sonata battery to Hewlett-Packard. Representatives from both HP and Boston-Power declined to divulge many details on the relationship, primarily as B-P is a startup company, ramping production to meet the demands of its first customer.

A representative from HP said that the company will make the Sonata battery available on some mainstream consumer notebooks, without specifying which models. HP's commercial notebook division is "looking at it," a spokesman said.

The Sonata battery upgrade will cost between $20 and $30, the HP spokesman said. HP will market it as the HP Enviro Series program notebook battery with Sonata technology.

The guarantee will cover the performance of the battery, specifically a certain capacity level, according to the HP spokesman. If the battery's capacity drops below the guaranteed level -- a value less than 100 percent, the HP spokesman said -- a user can exchange the battery for another. For its part, Boston-Power markets Sonata as a technology that delivers "like-new performance" for three years, offering the "same, unwavering capacity of a new battery that entire time".

Although lithium-ion batteries have been plagued with a rash of problems, a Boston-Power spokesman said the company "was fundamentally founded on safety. It's a non-negotiable issue."

Boston-Power manufactures its cells in China. On its Web site, Boston-Power has provided links to its U.L., U.N., Nordic Ecolabel and China Environmental United Certification Center (CEC) certifications.

Three year battery on an HP laptop? That's great, the battery will last three times as long as the hinges did on my piece of crap high dollar dv9548 HP laptop.
