Need recommendation for legit 3rd party notebook battery vendor

[scotty1963]

Another battery question. Would like to know what 3rd party battery vendors you have used and are satisfied with the battery replacement quality, i.e. laptopbatteryexpress.com. I used to do business with dr. battery years ago, and was satisfied with their product. I have also read battery customers are having issues with their notebooks recognizing non-oem batteries, so that is a consideration. Thank you for your opinions and recommendations, and taking your time to respond to my message

Hi@scotty1963, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

We understand the notebook battery issue,

HP recommends using genuine parts, 

I suggest you perform the troubleshooting steps from this document HP Notebook PCs - Testing and Calibrating the Battery (Windows)

Let's try reinstalling the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery 

1) In the search box, type, and open “Device Manager”. 

2) Expand “Batteries”. 

3) Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there. 

4) Click on “Uninstall”. 

5) At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver 

6) Shutdown the computer. 

7) Remove the battery for a minute and then put it back in. 

😎 When the computer comes back up it should automatically find the driver. 

9) Go to Device Manager. 

10) Expand Batteries. 

11) Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there. 

12) Click "Search automatically for updated driver software". Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller. 

Also, try updating the computer - 

Step 1 Windows Updates - 

1) In the search box, type, and open Windows Updates. 

2) Check for updates. 

3) If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer. 

Step 2 HP Support Assistant Updates - 

1) In the search box, type, and open HP Support Assistant. 

2) Check for updates. 

3) If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer. 

This document has the most relevant troubleshooting if your battery appears to be not charging.

If the issue persists, Let's Run a battery test using F2 (during restart), if the test failed: 

Check with an alternate battery.

Thank you for your reply.

I have applied all the solutions and my battery is still dead.

I purchased the computer in June 2017, so the battery is 4 years old.

It appears HP no longer sells the replacement battery.

Is there a vendor you would recommend that sells HP compatible batteries?

Thank you for your help.

Hi@scotty1963,

You may order the replacement parts on the HP Parts Store, use the HP Parts Surfer to find the part number and If you've already looked for it and couldn't find it on the HP Parts Store, you may want to get it locally at the online store such as Amazon or eBay, etc...as the part numbers are universal. 

  

Alternatively, I suggest you talk to HP support and discuss your options, follow the below steps to get started: 

  

1) Click on this link. 

2) Click on Sign-in or select the product using the below step: 

3) Enter the serial of your device. 

4) Select the country from the drop-down. 

5) Click on "Show Options". Fill the web-form, to populate a case number and phone number for yourself! 

  

Also, if you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty, if yes? please send me a private message with the region you are contacting us from, here's how private messages work: Click here for details.  

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
