Hello everybody,
I am willing to change my battery for a new one but I found the user manual a confusing. The thing is that my battery is a TF03XL and I would like to replace it for a TF04XL. The main problem I see is that the latter is a 14V battery while the former (the current one) is 11V.
In the manual you can find that my laptop is supposed to have a 905277-855, that is, a 4 cell battery, which is confusing, since my laptop has a 3 cell battery.
Can you tell me if my laptop is compatible with a 4cell battery like the TF04XL?
Thank you very much.

Thank you for clarifying that.
Yes, both 849910-850 (TE03XL) and 905277-855 (TE04XL) batteries are identical in size and are compatible with your laptop, with the TE04XL battery having more watt-hours capacity.
Hope this was helpful.
Kind Regards,

Welcome to our HP User Forum!
Your HP Pavilion - 15-bc400ns (4MQ91EA) requires this HP battery with p/n: 849910-850 ("Battery (Primary) - 3-cell lithium-ion (Li-Ion), 5.37Ah, 61Wh TE03XL").
You can purchase a quality TE03XL battery online, such as this example (please search for 849910-850 or TE03XL in your country): https://www.amazon.com/TE03XL-15-ax012TX-15-ax050TX-15-bc001TX-15-bc045TX/dp/B08M63GBF8/ref=sr_1_6?c....

Thanks for your reply, whoever I would like to know whether the 4 cell battery is compatible or not. The battery you told me is the one that comes with the laptop, however in the user manual it seems like bc400 laptops are also compatible with 4 cells.
