Hi @Rdxthor,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

The HP Victus fb0040ax laptop typically comes with an internal battery that is replaceable but might not support upgrading to a larger capacity due to compatibility constraints and physical space limitations in the laptop chassis.

Battery Replacement Information:

Compatible Battery Model: The Victus fb0040ax usually uses a specific battery model (like a 3-cell or 4-cell lithium-ion battery). You need to replace it with a compatible battery, as specified in the user manual or HP support documentation.

Higher-Capacity Battery: Most HP laptops do not have options for higher-capacity batteries unless explicitly supported. You should confirm whether any higher-capacity variants exist for your model. If not, you'll need to replace the battery with the same capacity.

Battery Replacement:

• If your battery is draining faster than expected, it might be due to wear and tear or improper settings.
• You can check battery health in Windows by running the following command in Command Prompt:

powercfg /batteryreport
 

• This will generate a report showing the battery's design and current capacity.

HP Authorized Service: For battery replacement, it’s best to consult HP Authorized Service to ensure compatibility and warranty coverage. They can confirm if any upgrades are possible.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
