Battery Care Tips
Battery Care Tips
🔹 Getting Started
Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.
🔹 Keep It Healthy
Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.
Delivery and Shipping
Delivery and Shipping
🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

HP EliteBook Folio 1020 Series — 7.6V Li-Polymer Replacement Battery (BR04XL)
This is a 7.6V, 4700mAh (35.72Wh) Li-Polymer replacement battery for the HP EliteBook Folio 1020 and Folio 1020 G1 series ultrabooks. It replaces OEM part numbers BR04XL, 760505-005, 765605-005, HSTNN-DB6M, HSTNN-I26C, and HSTNN-I28C. The flat Li-Polymer cell matches the original 5.60mm slim-profile slot inside the Folio 1020 chassis.
- Folio 1020 and 1020 G1 compatibility: Every variant in the EliteBook Folio 1020 G1 lineup — including CTO, G9P64AV, and L7Z19PA configurations — runs the same 7.6V rail with the same BMS handshake protocol. One battery fits all of them because HP standardised the power architecture across the entire platform.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through charge and discharge cycles on the Folio 1020 G1. The BMS negotiated charge termination correctly at 8.7V, held the protection thresholds, and passed data back to the HP battery driver without throwing unknown-device errors.
- Post-installation calibration on the Folio 1020: After fitting this battery, drain the laptop fully to hibernate cutoff — do not force shutdown — then charge uninterrupted to 100%. This triggers the BIOS battery learn cycle, resets the fuel gauge IC against the new cell's actual capacity, and clears the inaccurate health warning that appears after every cell swap.
BIOS reporting poor battery health immediately after fitting a new cell
The HP BIOS reads battery health from EEPROM data stored on the battery controller, not from live cell voltage. When a new cell is installed, the EEPROM registers zero charge history, and the BIOS interprets that absence as degraded health. This is a firmware behaviour, not a fault with the replacement cell. Running one full discharge-to-hibernate cycle followed by a complete uninterrupted charge clears the flag. After two to three full cycles, the BIOS health readout stabilises and reflects the cell's actual condition.

This happens when the fuel gauge IC still holds calibration data from the old degraded cell. The gauge believes 20% remaining is the safe cutoff point because that is where the original cell's voltage cliff sat. The new cell has a different discharge curve, so the OS shuts the machine down while usable capacity remains. Run the full discharge-to-hibernate calibration cycle described above — the fuel gauge IC recalibrates its curve against the new cell and the cutoff voltage resets to the correct 6.0V floor.

Frequently Asked Questions
My HP EliteBook Folio 1020 shows the battery as "unknown" in HP Support Assistant right after I put the new one in — is something wrong with it?
Nothing is wrong with the cell. HP Support Assistant reads battery identity from the EEPROM on the battery controller, and a freshly installed cell has no charge history logged yet, so the software returns an unknown or unrecognised status. Run one full discharge to hibernate cutoff, then charge uninterrupted to 100%. After that cycle, the EEPROM populates with valid data and Support Assistant reports the battery correctly.
Windows is showing 35Wh on my old battery but only shows a different Wh rating after I installed this replacement — why does the number not match?
The Wh figure Windows displays is pulled from the battery's EEPROM rated value, which is set at the factory and reflects nominal chemistry under controlled conditions. The actual usable energy the cell delivers depends on real-world temperature, load, and charge state — those numbers differ slightly from the EEPROM value. This is an EEPROM reporting difference, not a capacity shortfall. The cell is rated at 35.72Wh and will deliver that under normal operating conditions once the fuel gauge IC completes two to three calibration cycles.
My Folio 1020 G1 stops charging at 80% and won't go higher — is the new battery faulty?
The 80% charge ceiling on the Folio 1020 G1 is controlled by HP Battery Care Advisor in the BIOS, not by the battery itself. HP ships these laptops with a firmware-level charge limit that caps at 80% to extend cell lifespan over time — it was likely active before you swapped the battery. Open HP BIOS Setup (F10 at boot), go to Power Management, and check the Battery Charge Mode or HP Battery Care setting. Disable it or set it to full charge, and the battery will charge to 100%.
