Thae battery in this is not too shabby, I have had it for 4, almost 5 years and it’s battery still works after all this! I had to change my G60 battery in 2 years and I am on my 1st replacement after the HP supplied one gave out Would I have any chance to restore some capacity to the battery from the factory?
Unfortunately the answer is no.Those batteries start dying from the day they are born. The best you can do is keep their charging cycles down. When you use the battery deplete all of it’s resources before you charge it again.
You might want to run Coconut Battery on the machine to see how much actual capacity is left. If it’s 5 years old (are unibody machines really that old???) then it’s time for a new battery anyway. Unibody batteries can be replaced, even if they are “non-removable”. I’d pick one up on eBay. Personally, I refuse to alter my use of a laptop in order to extend its battery life by whatever amount the proper behavior supposedly gets you. Laptops and their batteries exist to meet our needs…to me it just doesn’t make sense to be spending time altering my behavior in order to keep a battery “happy”.
