There is no conditioning that is required with the pavilion dv4 battery, but we recommend calibrating your battery regularly to ensure an accurate fuel gauge. The fuel gauge tells you how much runtime you have left before it is time to charge your battery. Calibrating your battery is the process of fully charging your battery, then fully discharging it, and then fully charging it again. Doing this every few months allows the computer to communicate with the battery so the reading is accurate. Yet, if you are someone who consistently charges your battery, then uses it until it dies, there is no need to calibrate it since you are doing it all the time.
