How to Find an HP Laptop Battery Model on the Battery?
1. Make sure the laptop is unplugged and turned off, and that the battery has cooled.
2. If necessary, carefully remove the rubber feet to reveal screws. Keep track of which screws you remove from which holes, as they may be different lengths. You'll need to make sure you return them to the same spots when you reassemble your laptop.
3. If your laptop has strip-style rubber feet, remove them slowly and carefully; they can tear easily.
4. Flip the laptop upside down. Push the battery latch to the left "unlock" position. While holding the latch in this position, slide the battery out of the computer.
5. Look for the serial number that is printed on the label on the back of the battery. The serial number will be a combination of some letters and numbers that more conspicuous.
