HP VI04 Laptop Battery is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 2,450, as a brand new replacement pack rated 14.8V and 2600mAh. It fits the HP ProBook 440 G2, 445 G2, 450 G2 and 455 G2, plus the Pavilion 15-p, Pavilion 14-v and Envy 15-k series, among others. HP's official code is VI04, with a capital letter I, but buyers often search for V104; it is the same battery. This compatible replacement is not an HP-branded part. Find the HP VI04 Laptop Battery at Old Mutual Building, First Floor, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for home users, accountants, graphic design students and small office teams across Kenya, the HP VI04 Laptop Battery fits laptops that families and firms bought in large numbers. A Pavilion 15 on a dining table in Eldoret or a ProBook 450 G2 at a Westlands reception desk may still run well, yet switch off the moment it is unplugged. That leaves you exposed every time KPLC cuts power in the evening. Fitting a fresh HP VI04 Laptop Battery gives the laptop time to save your work, finish a Zoom call, or carry on until the lights return.
Mascom International stocks this battery alongside other HP replacement packs, so the team can compare codes and confirm the right one for your machine. Bring the laptop to the counter for a fit check, or send the code on the old battery or the model sticker on WhatsApp. At Mascom International, we're seeing many Pavilion and Envy owners choose a battery over a new laptop, because the rest of the machine still serves them well. The HP VI04 Laptop Battery ships on pay-on-arrival terms to every county, so you inspect it before paying a shilling.
Common Questions About the HP VI04 Laptop Battery
What does the HP VI04 Laptop Battery cost in Kenya?
The HP VI04 Laptop Battery costs KSh 2,450 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, supplied brand new as a compatible replacement. Your money covers the battery and a 6-month warranty for manufacturing defects. A charger is not included, and the price does not cover fitting, though the team will check the fit if you bring the laptop. Pay on arrival by cash or M-Pesa. The HP RI04 and HP RA04 batteries cost the same KSh 2,450 for their own ProBook models.
Which Pavilion, Envy and ProBook models take the HP VI04 Laptop Battery?
The HP VI04 Laptop Battery fits the ProBook 440 G2, 445 G2, 450 G2 and 455 G2. It also fits the Pavilion 14-v, Pavilion 15-p and Pavilion 17-f series, the Envy 14-u and 14-v, the Envy 15-k and the Envy 17-k. Not every Pavilion 15 or Envy 15 uses it, because HP made many generations under those names. The letter after the dash in your model number, such as 15-p or 15-k, decides the match. Send that full model number to Mascom International on WhatsApp to confirm.
My laptop is a ProBook 450, so do I need the HP VI04 Laptop Battery or the RI04?
You need the HP VI04 Laptop Battery if your laptop is a ProBook 450 G2, and the HP RI04 Laptop Battery if it is a 450 G3. The two look alike in photos but use different shapes and connectors. The VI04 is rated 2600mAh, against 2200mAh for the RI04, and both cost KSh 2,450 at Mascom International. The VI04 also serves many Pavilion and Envy laptops, while the RI04 covers only the ProBook G3 trio. Check the generation printed on the model sticker before ordering.
Can I charge the HP VI04 Laptop Battery from solar or a generator during blackouts?
Yes, the HP VI04 Laptop Battery charges through the laptop's HP adapter, which accepts the 240V supply from a solar inverter or generator. A pure sine wave inverter gives the cleanest power for laptop adapters. Generators can surge when they start, so plug the laptop in only once the engine runs steadily. A surge protector adds a useful layer against KPLC spikes when mains power returns. Charging this way keeps the battery topped up so the laptop rides through the next outage.
Who should buy the HP VI04 Laptop Battery, and who should skip it?
The HP VI04 Laptop Battery is the right buy for owners of a ProBook 440 G2 or 450 G2, or a matching Pavilion or Envy, whose laptop runs well but loses charge fast. Offices with several ProBook G2 units save money by replacing packs in bulk. Skip it if your laptop is a ProBook 430 G2, which takes the HP RA04 Laptop Battery, or a 450 G3, which takes the RI04. If the laptop has a failing screen or hinge as well, putting the money toward a newer machine makes more sense.
How can I find my exact model number for the HP VI04 Laptop Battery?
On most HP laptops, the full model number sits on the label underneath, next to the serial number. A Pavilion shows something like 15-p followed by digits, and a ProBook shows its name with G2 at the end. With the laptop on, pressing Fn and Esc together on many HP models opens a System Information window that lists the product name. Take a clear photo of either and send it to Mascom International on WhatsApp. The team will confirm whether the HP VI04 Laptop Battery fits.
Is it safe to leave a laptop with the HP VI04 Laptop Battery plugged in all day?
Leaving the laptop plugged in all day with the HP VI04 Laptop Battery fitted is safe, because the laptop stops charging once the pack is full. The bigger risk is heat, since a warm battery held at full charge wears faster. Keep the laptop on a hard surface with clear vents, especially in humid Mombasa offices or hot afternoon rooms. Unplugging now and then and letting the charge drop a little does no harm. A swollen battery should be removed from use immediately.
Is the HP VI04 Laptop Battery worth it for an Envy 15 used for design work?
For an Envy 15-k that still handles Photoshop, CorelDRAW or video editing well, the HP VI04 Laptop Battery at KSh 2,450 is money well spent. These Envy models were higher-priced consumer laptops with good screens and speakers, and many still serve design students at Moi University and freelancers in Nairobi. A dead battery forces the laptop onto the desk, which limits client presentations. Pair the new battery with a dust clean of the fan, and the machine can keep working for some time yet.
Technical Specifications
Cell and Capacity
- 14.8V nominal voltage — the rating these HP laptops expect, so the charging circuit treats the pack as it did the original.
- 2600mAh capacity — the amount of charge stored, 400mAh more than the RI04 and RA04 packs sold at the same price.
- About 38.5Wh of stored energy — calculated as 14.8 volts times 2.6 amp-hours, which measures total usable power.
- Lithium-ion chemistry — the standard battery type in modern laptops, with no need to drain it fully before recharging.
- Brand new cells — never cycled before, so the pack begins with fresh capacity rather than wear from another user.
- Battery percentage shown in Windows — the taskbar icon displays charge remaining, helping you plan before the next socket.
- Charged by the laptop's own HP adapter — no external charger or dock is needed, just plug in as usual.
Compatibility and Model Matching
- Fits HP ProBook 440 G2, 445 G2, 450 G2 and 455 G2 — the 14-inch and 15.6-inch business laptops of that generation.
- Fits HP Pavilion 14-v, Pavilion 15-p and Pavilion 17-f series — common home and student laptops sold widely in Kenya.
- Fits HP Envy 14-u, Envy 14-v, Envy 15-k, Envy 17-k and Envy m7-k series — HP's higher-end consumer models of that era.
- Matches HP part numbers 756743-001, 756744-001 and 756745-001 — compare them with the label on your old battery.
- Also matches codes HSTNN-LB6K, HSTNN-LB6I, G6E88AA and TPN-Q139 to TPN-Q144 — different labels HP used for this pack.
- Does not fit the ProBook 430 G2 or 450 G3 — those laptops take the RA04 and RI04 batteries respectively.
- Model letter check — the letter after the dash in a Pavilion or Envy model number, such as 15-p, decides the fit.
Build and Safety
- Compatible replacement build — made to the VI04 outline and connector, and sold as a replacement rather than an HP-branded battery.
- Built-in protection circuit — lithium-ion packs like this one carry circuitry that blocks overcharging, deep discharge and short circuits.
- Black casing — fits in visually with the dark interiors of these ProBook, Pavilion and Envy laptops.
- Heat awareness — high temperatures shorten battery life fastest, so keep the laptop out of cars and direct sun.
- Swelling check — if the battery bulges or the base lifts, stop using it and bring it in for advice.
- First charge — let the new pack charge to full before long unplugged use so Windows reports its range accurately.
- Storage advice — for a laptop left unused for weeks, keep the pack near half charge rather than full or flat.
Inclusions
- One HP VI04 Laptop Battery — a single brand new pack for a compatible ProBook, Pavilion or Envy laptop.
- No charger supplied — your laptop's current HP adapter charges it; spare adapters are sold separately at Mascom International.
- Fitting is not part of the price — the team will check the fit when you bring the laptop to the counter.
- 6-month warranty — protects against manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery — check the battery at delivery before you pay by cash or M-Pesa.
- Model check by WhatsApp — send the model sticker photo and the team confirms the match before dispatch.
Package Contents
You receive one HP VI04 Laptop Battery, packed to keep its connector safe on the road. There is no charger in the order, because your ProBook, Pavilion or Envy already has an HP adapter that powers and charges the new battery. Adapters for these laptops are sold separately at Mascom International if yours is worn out. No tools come in the package. Bring the laptop to our Kimathi Street shop and the team will check the fit before you go.
Warranty
The HP VI04 Laptop Battery comes with a 6-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. If the pack stops charging or holding power because of a fault in its cells or circuitry, you can make a claim. Bring the battery and receipt to our Nairobi CBD service desk.
