About this replacement
HP Envy 14-EB Series — 15.4V Li-Polymer Replacement Battery (SC04XL)
This 15.4V, 3850mAh (59.29Wh) lithium-polymer battery replaces the SC04XL in HP Envy 14-EB series laptops. It fits models including the EB0000NF, EB0006NJ, EB0008NP, and EB0010CA, among others. OEM part numbers SC04063XL, M08254-1C1, and HSTNN-IB9R all cross-reference to this same cell.
- Envy 14-EB platform compatibility: The EB-series models share a common 15.4V four-cell Li-Polymer rail, a unified connector pinout, and the same BMS handshake protocol — which is why one cell covers the full EB0000 range without modification.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on an EB-series board. The BMS negotiated correctly with the EC, charge current stepped down at expected thresholds, and no fault codes were logged during the test sequence.
- First-cycle calibration on the Envy 14-EB: After fitting, run the laptop on battery until it hibernates at cutoff — then charge uninterrupted to 100%. This forces the fuel gauge IC to map the new cell's actual capacity and clears the inaccurate health warning the BIOS posts after every cell swap.
Why the Envy 14-EB shows "Poor Battery Health" after a fresh cell install
The HP EC reads health status from EEPROM data carried over from the previous cell, not from live capacity measurements taken on the new one. Until the fuel gauge IC completes a full learn cycle against the replacement cell, the BIOS has no accurate baseline to compare against. This is why the warning appears even when the new cell is functioning correctly. One full discharge-to-hibernate followed by an uninterrupted charge to 100% rewrites that baseline and clears the alert.
Envy 14-EB shutting down at 20–30% charge shown on screen
This happens when the cell cannot hold voltage under the combined load of the CPU and display at higher performance states. The fuel gauge IC predicted remaining capacity based on light-load draw, but under full load the cell voltage drops past the BMS cutoff threshold before the gauge reaches zero. It is not a defective cell — it is an uncalibrated gauge reading a load curve it has not yet learned. Run two full discharge-to-hibernate cycles, then check again; the shutdown floor should stabilise at or below 5%.
