The "Sonata" battery, as it is called, will be an option on HP's laptops, and is the product of three years of development work by Boston-Power. It will be rebranded by HP as the "Enviro" battery and offered starting in early 2009 on select laptops. The battery will cost an extra $20 to $30 over a standard model, and will initially only be available in North America.
HP is backing up the longer-life promise with a 3-year warranty.
