HP BG06XL Laptop Battery | 11.4V 45Wh Lithium-Ion | Fits EliteBook Folio 1040 G3 | Replacement Battery
Restore unplugged working time to your thin business notebook, checked against the part code at our Kimathi Street counter.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
HP BG06XL Laptop Battery is available at Mascom International for KSh 9,300, a brand new replacement battery rated at 11.4V and 45Wh for the HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G3. The HP BG06XL Laptop Battery is a compatible lithium-ion pack sold as a part, and it sits inside the base of the slim 14-inch Folio. It matches the BG06XL code printed on the old battery, plus cross-reference codes such as 804175-181 and HSTNN-IB6Z. Stock is held at our shop on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for executives, lawyers, accountants and NGO field staff across Kenya who still rely on the Folio 1040 G3, this battery solves a common problem. After a few years, the old pack drops to minutes of use, swells, or stops charging, and the laptop becomes a desktop tied to the wall socket. The HP BG06XL Laptop Battery brings back proper unplugged time for client meetings in Upper Hill, a matatu ride home, or a KPLC power cut in the middle of a report. A fresh battery also keeps a sound business laptop working for years without the cost of a new machine.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops hand over whatever 1040 battery is on the shelf, Mascom International checks the code first, because the earlier 1040 G1 and G2 take a different pack. Customers across Nairobi tell us the fit check on the HP BG06XL Laptop Battery saves them a wasted trip and a return. Bring the laptop to the counter so the team can confirm the HP BG06XL Laptop Battery matches, or send a photo of the old battery label on WhatsApp. If you are outside Nairobi, order by phone and pay on arrival when the parcel reaches you.
Common Questions About the HP BG06XL Laptop Battery
How much is the HP BG06XL Laptop Battery in Kenya?
The HP BG06XL Laptop Battery costs KSh 9,300 brand new at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. That price covers one replacement battery and a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. No charger comes with it, and fitting labour is not part of the price. Delivery is pay-on-arrival across all 47 counties, so a buyer in Kisumu or Nakuru checks the parcel before paying. It costs KSh 1,300 more than the HP CC03XL Laptop Battery in the same batch.
Which laptops does the HP BG06XL Laptop Battery fit?
The HP BG06XL Laptop Battery fits the HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G3, also sold as the EliteBook 1040 G3. The earlier Folio 1040 G1 and G2 look similar but use a different battery coded BL06XL, so this pack will not fit them. The quickest check is the code on the old battery or the model sticker under the laptop. Send either photo to Mascom International on WhatsApp, and the team will confirm the match before you pay or travel to town.
How does the HP BG06XL Laptop Battery compare with the HP CC03XL Laptop Battery?
The HP BG06XL Laptop Battery serves the older EliteBook Folio 1040 G3, while the HP CC03XL Laptop Battery serves newer EliteBook 830, 840 and 845 G7 and G8 models. The BG06XL is rated at 45Wh and costs KSh 9,300. The CC03XL is rated at 53Wh or 56Wh depending on build and costs KSh 8,000. Neither swaps into the other laptop. Pick by the machine you own, not the capacity figure, and confirm with the code on the old battery.
Will the HP BG06XL Laptop Battery help me work through KPLC power cuts?
Yes, the HP BG06XL Laptop Battery gives a Folio 1040 G3 back its unplugged time, so a KPLC blackout no longer ends your work. Runtime depends on screen brightness, Wi-Fi use and the apps open, so heavy video calls drain it faster than typing. Keep the laptop charged before evening outages, and save files to the cloud while Safaricom or Airtel Kenya data still flows. Avoid leaving it in a hot car, since heat ages lithium-ion cells faster.
Can I fit the HP BG06XL Laptop Battery myself?
The HP BG06XL Laptop Battery is an internal pack, so fitting means removing the bottom cover of the Folio 1040 G3 with a small screwdriver. A buyer comfortable with laptop screws can do it at home after shutting the laptop down fully. If you prefer, bring the laptop to Mascom International and the team will check the fit at the counter. Fitting labour is not included in the KSh 9,300 price, so ask on WhatsApp before you visit.
How do I make my new battery last longer?
Charge the HP BG06XL Laptop Battery fully on first use, then use it normally rather than keeping it plugged in at 100 percent all day, every day. Lithium-ion cells age faster when they sit full and warm. Let the battery run down to around 20 to 30 percent now and then before recharging. Keep the vents clear on a hard surface, not a bed or sofa. Stored laptops should sit at about half charge in a cool, dry place.
Who should buy the HP BG06XL Laptop Battery and who should skip it?
Buy the HP BG06XL Laptop Battery if you own a Folio 1040 G3 whose battery barely holds charge, has swollen, or reports a fault in Windows. Skip it if your laptop is a 1040 G1 or G2, which needs the BL06XL pack instead. Skip it too if your laptop shuts down even on mains power, since that points to a charger or board fault. In that case, bring the machine to Mascom International for a check before buying any part.
Is a replacement battery safe to use in a business laptop?
A brand new replacement battery like the HP BG06XL Laptop Battery is safe when it matches the laptop code and carries its own protection circuit. That circuit cuts power if the pack overcharges, overheats or shorts. Mascom International sells it as a compatible part, not a factory HP pack, and backs it with a 6-month warranty. Stop using any battery that swells, gets too hot to hold or smells unusual, and bring it to our Nairobi CBD counter.
Technical Specifications
Cell and Capacity
- Rated at 11.4V nominal voltage, the same electrical rating the Folio 1040 G3 expects from its built-in pack.
- Capacity of 45Wh, meaning watt-hours, a measure of the total energy the pack stores on one full charge.
- Lithium-ion chemistry, the standard for slim laptops because it stores plenty of energy in a thin, light pack.
- Brand new cells with no previous charge cycles, so the pack starts life at its full rated capacity.
- Unplugged runtime varies with screen brightness, Wi-Fi and workload, so office typing lasts longer than video calls.
Compatibility and Model Matching
- Fits the HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G3, the 14-inch business ultrabook HP also lists as the EliteBook 1040 G3.
- Matches the BG06XL code and cross-reference codes 804175-181, 804175-1B1, 805096-005 and HSTNN-IB6Z on the old pack.
- Does not fit the Folio 1040 G1 or G2, which use the separate BL06XL battery with a different shape.
- The model sticker under the laptop or the label on the old battery confirms the match in seconds.
- WhatsApp a photo of either label to Mascom International and the team will confirm the fit before you pay.
Build and Safety
- Built-in protection circuit cuts power during overcharge, overheating, deep discharge or a short, protecting the laptop and user.
- Shaped to sit inside the base of the Folio chassis, so the bottom cover closes flat once fitted.
- Connector plugs straight into the laptop motherboard, the same way the old internal battery was attached.
- Sold as a compatible replacement part, not as a factory HP battery, with the BG06XL code for matching.
- A swollen old battery should come out promptly, since swelling can crack the casing and lift the touchpad.
Charging and Everyday Care
- Charges through the laptop's own HP power adapter, so no extra charger or dock is needed for daily use.
- Windows shows charge level and battery health in the taskbar, helping you track how the pack is holding up.
- Partial top-ups are fine for lithium-ion cells, so there is no need to drain the battery before every charge.
- Avoid leaving the laptop in direct sun or a parked car, since heat shortens battery life over time.
- Store a spare laptop at roughly half charge if it will sit unused for several weeks.
Inclusions
- One brand new HP BG06XL Laptop Battery, ready to fit into a compatible Folio 1040 G3.
- No power adapter in the package; HP laptop chargers are sold separately at Mascom International.
- No tools or screws included, since the new pack reuses the fixings already inside the laptop.
- 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, handled at the Mascom International service desk in Nairobi CBD.
- Fit check at the counter when you bring the laptop, or by WhatsApp photo before you order.
Package Contents
The HP BG06XL Laptop Battery comes as one brand new replacement battery, packed to protect the connector and casing during delivery. That is the full package: there is no charger, cable or tool kit inside. The pack reuses the screws and mounting points already in your Folio 1040 G3. If your HP power adapter is also failing, compatible HP laptop chargers are sold separately at Mascom International, so both parts can come in one trip or one delivery.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the HP BG06XL Laptop Battery with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects in the replacement battery. It covers faults such as failure to charge or a pack the laptop does not detect under normal use. Claims are handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk on Kimathi Street.
