RE: HP Pavillion DV6500 question
Yes, keep it plugged in for at least 8 hours... That's kind of the average to recharge a battery and it should be near full by the end of it (dunno exactly how long the battery for the HP Pavillion DV6500 needs to be charged though)....
But! Since this is a second hand (I assume), chances are that the battery is used up, aka dead and needs replacement. They never last more than a few years.
So, if after that period of time, the battery is still low, or if it decharges unusual quickly, you need to replace it.
You could also try to use an old trick, but it rarely works and it is only a small patch on a big wound though: dead batteries sometimes can be brought to life a bit if you put them in the freezer overnight (and put them in a plastic bag or something to avoid accidental spills on food!). And be carefull to let it acclimatize after you get it out again. Otherwise you could short circuit the internals of the battery or your laptop because of condensation.
