My refurbished HP Elitebook 845 8th Gen arrived yesterday. Other than a few minor scuffs on the lid, this thing looks untouched.

It was bought from CeX in the UK, who do not provide battery reports if buying online. CeX do not accept laptops without batteries, and neither do they replace batteries prior to selling on, they check only that a charge is possible and holds.

I generated a powercfg /batteryreport as soon as I had the machine up and running - original capacity 53,015 mWh / 82% remaining / 6 cycles. To me, that is both too few cycles for second-hand and too much degradation for so few cycles.

The report had no usage data prior to 5 June, which is the day before I purchased. The first and only recorded charge prior to me receiving the laptop is 99%. That same charge lasted me the best part of 12 hours though yesterday.

The battery is not original and neither is it genuine HP.

I do not know how long passed between the laptop being traded in to the store and me buying it, and I've since forgotten which store it came out of so can't call to ask for its backstory.

I have 14 days to decide if I want to keep this laptop. Only the battery is giving me pause. I expect to be able to use AC power for the most part anyway, but should I still be wary of the reported degradation and cycles or is it possible there is a fine enough explanation for these numbers?

Leicester were added as the 7th team last week and Chelsea as the final team today.

Villa, United, Spurs, West Ham, Everton and London City are the other six.

City and Brighton will be playing the FA Cup final that same weekend.

Arsenal are the other absent team.

So that's it lads and lasses... the season is officially done.
