I was hesitant to order this battery: not compatible or not actually new. When I received it, I panicked a little and it was in an envelope Amazon card (with two other items) and label "Warning Lithium Ion" there was pasted. Seeing the size of the box, I was even more afraid. Then I discovered the battery in a simple pink plastic packaging, without further protection (without bubble wrap or styrofoam or what not). I think it is a bit risky given that the trips are often long and packages often abused (and one of the objects has been damaged). However, the battery and nothing seems to work: I just received it, so to see in a few days! It comes loaded with 45%; on the battery itself, it is indicated that this is a real HP MU06, the reference codes are the same as those of the original, the production date is 2014-11. On the packaging it says: New. I guess it demonstrates the novelty of the product. Except for the packaging, I'm happy with this purchase! :)
