How to Change the Battery of an HP Laptop: A Step-by-Step Guide


Is your HP laptop not holding a charge like it used to? A weak battery can seriously limit your laptop’s portability and performance. But the good news? Replacing the battery is easier than you might think!

Whether your HP laptop has a removable or non-removable (internal) battery, this simple step-by-step guide will walk you through the process safely and efficiently.


  Tools You Might Need

Small Phillips-head screwdriver

Anti-static wristband (recommended)

Soft cloth or anti-scratch mat

Replacement HP battery (✅ Make sure it's compatible with your model!)


 Step 1: Power Off and Unplug

Before anything else:

Shut down your laptop completely.

Unplug the charger and remove any connected peripherals (USB drives, mouse, etc.).


 Step 2: Remove the Battery

For Removable Batteries:

Turn your laptop over.

Slide the battery release latch to unlock.

Gently lift the battery out of its compartment.

For Internal (Non-Removable) Batteries:

Flip the laptop upside down.

Use a screwdriver to remove all visible screws.

Carefully lift off the bottom cover.

Locate the battery pack inside.

Unscrew and disconnect the battery connector.

Gently remove the battery from its slot.

⚠️ Tip: Handle internal components with care, and always work on a static-free surface.


Step 3: Install the New Battery

Now, install the replacement battery:

For internal batteries: Place the battery, reconnect the cable, and screw it back in.

For removable batteries: Slide the battery into its slot until it clicks into place.


 Step 4: Reassemble and Power On

If you opened the bottom panel, reattach it and screw it securely.

Plug in your charger.

Power on the laptop.

Your laptop should detect the new battery automatically.


 Step 5: Calibrate the Battery (Optional, but Recommended)

To improve battery health and accuracy:

Charge the battery to 100%.

Use the laptop until it drops to 5–10%.

Recharge it back to full again.

This helps your system gauge battery levels more accurately.
