Question: I have hp pavilion dv-7 model# 3186cl will this work
Document: Ultimately, I picked this model, despite it having the lowest capacity (and, in fact, about 10% lower than the original HP battery) and not being the least expensive and not specifically mentioning a compatibility with my laptop model (though it mentions being compatible with the model# of the original HP battery) because the seller seemed more trustworthy.I ordered the battery during the evening on 7/25/11, and it arrived via UPS on 7/27/11 (I have prime).
No complaints so far. This battery is not actually intended for the dv7-1245dx, but it does indeed fit and work. The battery is 460 mAH less than the one that is intended for my model. At this point I am having no issues with the battery.I would give 5 stars but Anker doesn't make a battery specifically for my laptop model.
Bought for my son's HP Pavilion DV-7. Fit was excellent. Battery life is equal to stock battery. This is the second Anker battery I have purchased and the quality has been excellent.The other battery was for a Dell Inspiron 1545.
My only reason not giving this battery 5 stars is it does not mention my model number HP Pavilion dv7-1450us. The price I paid was the best I found anywhere. It works and the price was good.
I have an HP Pavilion DV-7 1020US computer that was about 3 years old. The power adaptor indicator light went out, so I got that. But, the battery life indicator still indicated it was not charging.So, I searched Amazon for "1020US" and found that this battery. It fit right in like the original, and it began charging. I'm very pleased that my laptop is back and running well again.
Recieved my order in just 2 days and I live in alaska. Had a 65 percent charge on it out of the box. Holds a charge just like a stock hp battery and I will order again
I ordered this battery because there was an issue with mine, I ended up having to return it right away. The title claims that it fits the Dv7 HP model, but when I got it the battery was nearly an inch too long! Very disappointing.
I got this battery and popped it into my HDX-18 1020US and it fit! That made me happy because I already had to return a battery to another seller who sent the wrong model.The battery was at 78% charge when it arrived and quickly charged up to 100%. I've had no problems with it overheating.
The model number for my laptop was not listed so I emailed them to see if it would fit. I received a reply promptly. Battery arrived within days and fit perfect. I have only had it a few days but holds the charge. Price was great compared to the HP battery that didn't last 2 years. Great Experience
This battery has a very short charge...only about 25% of original (hp hdx premium 18)battery life.You should buy another battery.
Answer: I couldn't say for sure. I'd call Anker and give them your computer specifics; they can cross-reference and get you the correct battery. Good luck.
