@LechKL, welcome to the forum.

 

Here is the Hardware Reference Guide for the computer.  On Page 46 you will find a guide to replacing the battery.  Read this section very carefully.  The battery in most computers is a CR2032.  The instructions state that you should use a spare battery provided by HP.  However, you can us HP Partsurfer to see if they recommend a battery.

 

The process should be straight forward.  There are detailed pictures to help you.
