HP Envy 17-3000 VT06XL Replacement Battery 11.1V 7740mAh

HP Envy 17-3000 Series — 11.1V Li-Polymer Replacement Battery (VT06XL)

This is an 11.1V, 7740mAh lithium-polymer battery for the HP Envy 17-3000 and Envy 17T-3000 series 17-inch laptops. It replaces OEM part numbers VT06XL, HSTNN-IB3F, HSTNN-DB3F, and TPN-I103, among others. Swap it in when the original cell no longer holds charge or the system reports degraded battery health.

• Envy 17-3000 and 17T-3200 compatibility: These models share the same 11.1V three-cell Li-Polymer platform, the same connector pinout, and the same BMS handshake protocol — so one cell covers the full range listed above without hardware modification.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through full charge and discharge on the Envy 17-3000 platform. The BMS negotiated correctly with the HP EC firmware, charge current ramped as expected, and the cell reached rated capacity without triggering a protection cutoff.
• First-cycle calibration on the Envy 17-3000: After installing, run one full discharge until the laptop hibernates, then charge uninterrupted to 100%. This forces the BIOS battery learn cycle to reset against the new cell and clears the inaccurate health warning that appears after every cell swap on this platform.

BIOS reporting poor battery health immediately after replacement

The HP Envy 17-3000 stores battery health data in its embedded controller, not the battery itself. When a new cell goes in, the EC still holds wear metrics from the old pack — so it flags poor health before the new cell has run a single cycle. This is an EEPROM data mismatch, not a fault with the replacement cell. Run the calibration cycle described above and the health status will update correctly within one to two full charge cycles.

Laptop shutting down at 20–30% charge shown on screen

This happens when the fuel gauge IC loses accuracy after a cell swap — the percentage on screen no longer maps to the actual voltage in the pack. Under full CPU and display load, the cell hits its low-voltage cutoff before the OS expects it, and the system shuts down hard. It is not a defective cell. Run two to three full discharge-to-hibernate and uninterrupted charge-to-100% cycles so the fuel gauge IC can re-calibrate against the new cell's voltage curve. After calibration, shutdown should not occur above 5–6% remaining.
