How to check compatibility
Verify your laptop model matches our compatibility list above. Check your current battery’s part number (usually printed on the battery) against our reference numbers. For HP Spectre x360 models, ensure you have the 13-inch convertible version.
When to replace
Replace your battery when it holds less than 60% of its original capacity, shows physical damage, or fails to charge properly. Most HP batteries last 2-3 years with regular use in AU/NZ conditions.
Installation guide (overview)
Power off and unplug your laptop. Remove the bottom cover (usually 8-10 screws). Disconnect the battery connector. Remove old battery and install the new HP SH03XL. Reconnect and test before reassembling.
Usage & care tips
Avoid extreme temperatures (ideal range 15-25°C). Don’t leave laptop plugged in constantly. Calibrate battery monthly by fully charging then discharging to 10%. Store in cool, dry place when not in use.
Safety & recycling in AU/NZ
Never puncture or disassemble batteries. Dispose of old batteries at authorised recycling centres. In Australia, use Batteryback or council e-waste services. In New Zealand, use recognised e-waste recyclers. Never dispose in household waste.
