What You Need to Know About Replacing HP DV2000 Laptop Battery

What is there to know about replacing my HP DV2000 laptop battery?   Well, it seems there is a lot to know, or at least consider.  I can't tell you how many times I have read, or heard this type of comment on forums, blogs, from friends, etc...
"I have had this particular laptop for about a year now (Right, you guessed, the warranty just ended!) and this my first and only issue with this laptop, well I should say battery (otherwise, I love it) I turned it on this morning and the stupid thing went from fully charged to beeping, flashing and dying just 15 short minutes later. I have tried everything, charging a little, put it in the fridge, discharge fast, and to no avail it still charges about 15-20% normally and then, boom, all the way charged.  Just like it charged, it discharges, cool for the first few minutes then, bam done and dead.   I tried power settings and HP recommended calibration but it did not help.  Should I give up and buy a new one..."
