Is this battery thicker than the original battery in the Pavilion g7 series...will it make the computer tilt upward?

Yes, it lifts the back up off the work surface and provides for better circulation for cooling. And the run time on battery is greatly improved.

The battery is much thicker and heavier and lasts many hours longer. It will make your keyboard tilt up and toward you a little bit which I consider to actually be an additional feature.

Yes it is about 1/2" to 3/4" thicker, but I find this to be a good thing. It keeps the laptop from overheating when it is on my lap or on cloth. It does have two rubber feet on it (very thin feet). I do prefer it to my original battery. If it goes bad in a couple of years I will but the same thing. Also, it lasts so much longer than the original battery did. I suggest putting a piece of wood or something under the back of your laptop to see what it is like if you are unsure.

Yes, The battery is thicker. I thought it was great. It tilts my HP g7 about 3/4 of an inch, I found this to be beneficial (an opinion of course). Now, another great feature is the battery comes with it's own rubber feet. I have had this battery for about a month, charge life is exceptional compared to stock. With an ssd drive I have nearly doubled the stock battery time. Yes, I am a verified purchaser and can tell you also this battery is still charging to 100% capacity and I use it all day, daily. I do have to charge during day under load such as videos or movies. I get about 5-6 hours of just steady general use. The reason I mention a 100% charge after a month of daily use (Using HW monitor software) is I have purchased a stock battery that dropped to 82% maximum charge in the first two weeks! I did not care about the tilt, what I wanted was a good battery and that is what I got, I like the warranty and I like the fact that when I called to get battery # to order I got right through to a live person who told me right out of the gate it would be thicker and heavier so I do not believe any warranty issues would not be handled right away. I like that.

Yes it will raise the back of your computer about one inch - I found this to be a nice feature

Same computer, no problems at all. Do be aware the battery is quite thick and will raise the back of the laptop around a half inch or more. I actually like the tilt. Make sure the locking tabs are secure so the battery stays attached. First few times I used it, the computer didn't seem to register the proper amount of charge left, but it seemed more accurate as time went on. I'm quite happy with it.

Yes, the battery is compatible; since it is larger the battery does raise the back of the laptop slightly bu this tilt makes the keyboard easier to use.

I don't know if this battery will work for you. I ordered it, and it did not fit flush in the computer, it raised the back up like you lifted the computer off the desk. I don't know if my computer was just to old (5yrs), but it would not let me have access to most of the websites, and what few it did, the battery would not hold a charge once you shut the computer down. So the only thing I can tell you is that the battery is cheaply priced, and I always say "you get what you pay for". Maybe you will have better luck than I did. I hope this helps you in your decision.

Yes it is suppose to do that. The battery is larger than your battery that came with the laptop. Since the laptop is tilted up now it will breather better.

It works well in a N7010. It clicks into place easily, but it is much thicker than the original battery. The bottom bulges out significantly which tilts the keyboard toward the user. The battery has good feet and the computer remains steady when used on a hard surface. I don't use mine on my lap very often, so I couldn't say for certain whether that is a problem. I remember reading a review which said that it left a line on the user's leg. I am happy with the battery; I would buy the same one again given what I know at this point.

Because your computer is a DV7 series this battery should fit. This gave new life to my laptop and the battery last an extremely long time. Also since it does make the laptop higher so it will stay cooler.

I bought one for my HP and that is the actual shape of the battery. The shape raises the laptop allowing more air flow under the laptop to help with cooling.

It's best to confirm the replacement version with Anker, especially with HP. HP's part numbering policy doesn't always work the way one would expect. Voltage rating and interface need to be confirmed. A 12 cell battery will be physically larger, with the body of the battery extending out the bottom of the laptop along the length of the battery. This puts the laptop at an incline so the top of the keyboard (Function Keys) is higher than the bottom (space bar). I like the change as it makes the keyboard more comfortable to type on. It also allows more air circulation under the laptop.

It is an aftermarket battery. That said, it's a big boost over the standard battery. It is thicker at the back of your computer when installed so it gives better ventilation and viewing angle in my opinion. Battery life has been very much enhanced over factory. A great choice for me and hopefully for your computer. It is larger so it will take up more of a computer bag.

don't know, sorry, the battery I received works well, has a hump, however, it makes typing on my lap top better as it raises the back up. The battery works very well.

Can't answer that one. I bought it for a Pavilion g7 and it works great for that one.

It is slightly heavier than the stock battery. Yes, it stays locked in place. It holds up the computer and allows the computer to run cooler.

Yes, it is slightly thicker than the OEM, but that doesn't seem to be much of a problem, BUT some phone cases, especially the "flippy" type will not fit with this battery in the phone.

When I ordered it, I also ordered using the Compaq HP laptop model number (mine is a Pavillion DV7 1157D). That is the Compaq HP part number for the battery, and yes it fit in my Pavillion laptop perfectly. I also got an additional two hours of heavy use (playing a DVD as a test) compared to the original battery in the laptop. The battery size is larger, so it lifts my laptop up at a slight angle but I like it because it appears helping it cool with the bottom vents clear. BTW: Since I did not have a way of testing the charger, I went ahead and purchased both the charger and the battery set.

I am using it in a HP g7-1070us and it fits perfectly. It holds a charge longer than the original.

Mine is a HP G62 and it doesn't fit exactly right. If I don't move it its fine. But if I pick it up without holding the battery it will fall out. I thought it was great at first until I picked it up. Which I hardly ever move my laptop so it doesn't bother me much. And the extended life you get is good. It stays charged for about 5 hours of continued use.
