Upgrading Battery and Ram on my HP 17-by3053cl

[Pa121517]

I'm thinking about replacing the battery on my laptop since it keeps instantly dying on me when it reaches somewhere around 20-30 percent. The website detects a different laptop from the one I have but they both share the same serial and product number. I already upgraded the storage and Operating system and I was hoping there would be a better battery than the one that is currently inside this laptop which is probably the HT03xl battery.

Also, would any DDR4 SODIMM 3200 RAM would do? It seems like the Crucial brand is the best option but its pretty expensive considering I want to upgrade the RAM from 12GB to 32GB(2x16GB).

Chapter 3 of the service manual indicates that only one battery was offered in the model series, so upgrading the battery is not an option.

Battery (3-cell, 41 WHr)    HP part # L11119-855

The parts list for your notebook also indicates that is the battery part number you need:

You can buy a replacement battery from HP at the link below:  $92.81

Or you can do a search by the HP part number and find a compatible aftermarket battery that references the HP part number on Amazon, eBay or laptopbatteryexpress.com

The Crucial memory should work fine, or this memory is also very good.  Might cost a little less as well:

Good to know. Thanks for the RAM suggestion, it is so much cheaper than the Crucial one.
