How is the battery life on these refurbished units? Do they install an oem new battery during the refurbishing process?

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank zhaojunzhe100

Why do they have so many of these units? I bought mine like 2 yrs ago BNIB, upgraded to 64GB RAM and 2TB storage and happy ever since. Build quality is good, battery life is acceptable, and they are almost always in-stock here and there like no one's buying them.

I bought about 4 of these exact laptops from Newegg and none of them came with completely new batteries. They had between 40 to 500 cycles and between 80-85% battery health.

There have been deals for this model pretty regularly. Yes, the EliteBook line is very popular in corporate America, but you don't see too many Ryzens there.

A little searching here on SD should give you a good idea of the market for this model.

I host trivia 3 nights a week and my 3-year old Dell's keyboard went out so going with this as a replacement as the cost to replace the keyboard was more than this laptop cost 🤣

Mine is at 79% so not the greatest.

I think they slap a new keyboard/trackpad and a new skin on the back of the display. The skin on the display is peeling in two sections.

Echoing others, I also bought Elitebook from eBay - Newegg in previous deal and battery was less than 80% capacity. Might last an hour unplugged if I'm lucky. Expect to keep it plugged in most of the time.

I forget the actual percentage - mine may have been much lower. I think there's a battery health checker in the BIOS or something. I only ran it when I first got it. I just remember being really shocked by seeing the cycle count. It's a backup/secondary laptop so that's not a big deal for me. Works fine otherwise.
