HP JI04XL Laptop Battery | 7.7V Lithium Polymer | Fits HP Elite x2 1012 G2 | Replacement Battery
A fresh cell pack for the detachable business tablet that now dies before lunch.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
The HP JI04XL Laptop Battery is a brand new replacement battery for the HP Elite x2 1012 G2 detachable, rated at 7.7V with lithium-polymer cells, and it is in stock at Mascom International for KSh 8,250. Some online shops list the code as J104XL, with the number one, but the label on the pack reads JI04XL with a capital letter I. The HP JI04XL Laptop Battery is a compatible part, not an HP-branded original. You can collect it from our shop at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Built for executives, consultants and NGO field staff who still rely on their Elite x2 1012 G2, the HP JI04XL Laptop Battery answers one common complaint: a tablet that once lasted a working day now needs the charger by mid-morning. Lithium-polymer cells wear a little with every charge cycle, and after a few years the pack holds far less energy than it did new. A worn pack also makes a KPLC power cut stressful, because the tablet shuts down minutes after the mains drop. Swapping in the HP JI04XL Laptop Battery restores proper unplugged time for meetings in Upper Hill, site visits and long matatu rides home.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell batteries by photo match alone, Mascom International checks the code on your old pack or the model sticker before you pay. Send a clear picture on WhatsApp, or bring the Elite x2 1012 G2 to the counter so the team can confirm the fit in person. Customers across Nairobi tell us this simple check saves them a wasted trip and a wrong part. The HP JI04XL Laptop Battery carries a 6-month warranty, and pay-on-arrival delivery reaches all 47 counties, so buyers in Mombasa, Kisumu or Eldoret get the same checked part as walk-in customers.
Common Questions About the HP JI04XL Laptop Battery
How much is the HP JI04XL Laptop Battery in Kenya?
The HP JI04XL Laptop Battery costs KSh 8,250 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, sold brand new as a compatible replacement. That price covers the battery itself and a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Fitting is not included in the price, and no charger comes with it. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so buyers outside Nairobi pay only when the parcel reaches them. The HP CC03XL Laptop Battery in the same stock sells for KSh 8,000, a KSh 250 gap, but the two parts fit different machines.
Which laptops does the HP JI04XL Laptop Battery fit?
The HP JI04XL Laptop Battery fits the HP Elite x2 1012 G2, the 12.3-inch detachable business tablet with a kickstand and keyboard cover. It also matches packs labelled with HP part numbers 901247-855, 901307-541 and HSTNN-UB7E. The Elite x2 line came in more than one generation, and the batteries differ between them, so check before buying. The quickest test is the code on your old battery or the model name on the device sticker. Send either on WhatsApp and Mascom International will confirm the match.
How does the HP JI04XL Laptop Battery cope with KPLC power cuts and Kenyan heat?
A healthy HP JI04XL Laptop Battery keeps the Elite x2 1012 G2 running through a typical KPLC power cut, so unsaved work survives when the lights go out. How long it lasts depends on screen brightness and workload. Heat is the main enemy of lithium-polymer cells, so never leave the tablet on a car dashboard in the Mombasa sun. Plug the charger into a surge protector, since voltage spikes when power returns are common in many estates. Store the tablet half charged if it will sit unused for weeks.
How does the HP JI04XL Laptop Battery compare with the HP CC03XL Laptop Battery?
The HP JI04XL Laptop Battery and the HP CC03XL Laptop Battery cost KSh 8,250 and KSh 8,000 at Mascom International, but they are not interchangeable. The JI04XL is a slim 7.7V lithium-polymer pack shaped to sit inside the Elite x2 1012 G2 tablet body. The CC03XL is built for a different family of HP notebooks, with its own shape and connector. Pick the JI04XL only if your old battery or model sticker matches it. If you own a conventional HP notebook rather than a detachable, check whether the CC03XL code matches instead.
Who should buy the HP JI04XL Laptop Battery and who should skip it?
Buy the HP JI04XL Laptop Battery if your Elite x2 1012 G2 still works well but now runs out of charge quickly, shuts off without warning or shows a battery alert in Windows. It suits accountants, lawyers and sales teams who like the tablet. Skip it if your device is a different Elite x2 generation, since that needs another pack. Skip it too if the tablet has a cracked screen or failing motherboard; spending KSh 8,250 on a battery makes little sense then, and a used business laptop may serve you better.
Can I fit the HP JI04XL Laptop Battery myself?
The HP JI04XL Laptop Battery sits inside the Elite x2 1012 G2, so changing it means opening the tablet rather than sliding out a clip-on pack. Opening a detachable takes patience, proper pry tools and care around the display and ribbon cables. Only attempt it if you have done similar repairs before. Most buyers prefer to bring the tablet to Mascom International on Kimathi Street, where the team can check the fit at the counter before payment. Fitting is not part of the KSh 8,250 price, so raise it when you visit.
How long does a new HP JI04XL Laptop Battery last before it wears out?
A brand new HP JI04XL Laptop Battery gives the Elite x2 1012 G2 its full unplugged time back, then slowly loses capacity over the years like any lithium-polymer pack. How fast it wears depends on habits. A tablet left on charge all day in a hot Westlands office ages its cells faster than one used on battery for part of the day. Draining it flat again and again also shortens its life. If your firmware offers a charge-limit setting, switch it on for desk days.
How can I tell if my Elite x2 1012 G2 needs a new battery?
Your Elite x2 1012 G2 likely needs the HP JI04XL Laptop Battery if it loses charge fast, dies while still showing charge, or will not run without the adapter. Windows can produce a battery report: open Command Prompt, type powercfg /batteryreport, then compare full charge capacity with design capacity. A big gap means the cells have worn. A swollen pack that lifts the screen or bends the case is urgent, so stop using the tablet and bring it to Mascom International in Nairobi CBD.
Technical Specifications
Cell and Capacity
- Nominal voltage of 7.7V — matches the power system the Elite x2 1012 G2 expects, so it charges from your usual HP adapter.
- Some sellers print 7.6V on the label — this is the same pack; the small difference is a rounding of the nominal rating.
- Lithium-polymer chemistry — a flat, light cell type that fits thin tablet bodies where round cylindrical cells cannot.
- Brand new cells, never used — the pack starts its working life with you, not inside a previous owner's machine.
- Built to the original pack's size and layout — restores proper unplugged time to a tablet whose old cells have worn down.
Compatibility and Model Matching
- Fits the HP Elite x2 1012 G2 detachable — the 12.3-inch business tablet with a kickstand and clip-on keyboard cover.
- Label code JI04XL, written with a capital letter I — read the characters on your old pack carefully before ordering.
- Matches HP part numbers 901247-855 and 901307-541 — a second way to confirm the fit when the code label has faded.
- Also listed under service codes HSTNN-UB7E and HSN-I07C — the references technicians often use when ordering this part.
- Other Elite x2 generations take different packs — send the model sticker on WhatsApp so Mascom International can confirm first.
Build and Safety
- Internal pack, not a clip-on battery — it sits inside the tablet body, so the device must be opened to replace it.
- Connector shaped for the Elite x2 1012 G2 board — a pack meant for another model will not plug in correctly.
- Flat, thin profile — keeps the tablet's slim shape once the back is closed, with no bulge or gap.
- Charging handled by the tablet's own circuit — no separate charger, dock or calibration tool needed after fitting.
- Store it half charged in a cool place — lithium-polymer cells kept full in heat age faster and can swell.
Inclusions
- One brand new JI04XL battery pack — nothing else comes in the package.
- No charger included — HP laptop adapters are sold separately at Mascom International if yours is lost or damaged.
- No opening tools or adhesive strips — plan the fitting, or bring the tablet to the counter for a fit check.
- 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects — claims are handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Code check before payment — send the old battery code or model sticker on WhatsApp and the team confirms the match.
