About this replacement
HP ENVY x360 13-BF Series — 7.7V Li-Polymer Replacement Battery (HSTNN-OB2Y)
This is a 7.7V 8200mAh (63.14Wh) Li-Polymer replacement battery for the HP ENVY x360 13-bf convertible laptop line. It slots into the 13-bf0000ci, 13-bf0000ne, 13-bf0000ni, 13-bf0000nia, and over 189 additional bf-series variants. Cross-reference OEM part numbers HSTNN-OB2Y, M89926-1D1, M89926-AC1, M90073-005, TPN-IB0O, or WF04XL before ordering.
- 13-bf series platform fit: All 13-bf variants share the same 7.7V battery rail, physical connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol. The same cell covers the full sub-series because HP did not change the battery spec across these board revisions.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell on a 13-bf unit under combined CPU and display load. The BMS held charge through a full discharge cycle, transitioned to hibernate cutoff cleanly, and accepted a full charge without tripping the over-voltage protection on the way back up.
- First-cycle calibration after install: After fitting this cell, discharge the laptop fully until it hibernates, then charge it to 100% without interruption. This forces the BIOS battery learn cycle to reset against the new cell's actual capacity and clears the inaccurate health warning that appears immediately after every cell swap.
Why the ENVY x360 13-bf shuts down at 20–30% after a battery swap
The fuel gauge IC in the 13-bf uses stored discharge curve data from the old cell to predict remaining capacity. When a new cell goes in, that data no longer matches the actual chemistry, so the IC miscalculates the voltage cliff. Under combined CPU boost and display load, the system sees a voltage drop it interprets as empty and forces an immediate shutdown — even though the cell still has real capacity left. Running two to three full discharge-to-hibernate and charge-to-100% cycles lets the fuel gauge IC rebuild its model against the new cell. After those cycles, the gauge tracks accurately and the early shutdowns stop.
BIOS reporting battery health as poor immediately after fitting a new cell
The BIOS reads health data from the battery's EEPROM, which is pre-populated at the factory with rated cycle count and Wh values. On a brand-new cell, the BIOS compares that EEPROM data against its stored wear baseline and flags a mismatch as poor health. This is a read-order issue, not a fault with the cell. Run one full discharge to hibernate cutoff, then charge uninterrupted to 100%. On the next boot, the BIOS battery learn cycle completes and the health status clears to normal.
