About this replacement
HP OMEN 16-K0010NA — 11.58V Li-Polymer Replacement Battery (WK06XL)
This is an 11.58V, 7000mAh (81.06Wh) Li-Polymer battery for the HP OMEN 16-K0010NA and the broader OMEN 16-K and 17-CK series gaming notebooks. It replaces OEM part WK06XL and cross-references M41711-005, TPN-Q280, and HSTNN-OB21. Fit the battery when the original cell no longer holds charge under gaming or heavy CPU load.
- OMEN 16-K and 17-CK series compatibility: These models share the same three-cell Li-Polymer architecture, 11.58V rail, and TPN-Q280 connector pinout. The BMS handshake uses the same EEPROM protocol across the K0010NA, K0734NZ, K0007NS, and CK1035NB variants — one battery covers the full generation.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through full charge-discharge cycles on the OMEN platform. The BMS communicated correctly with the HP EC firmware, reported Wh capacity within spec, and held the voltage rail stable under sustained GPU and CPU draw without triggering a protection cutoff.
- First cycle after installation: After fitting this battery, run a full discharge until the laptop hibernates, then charge uninterrupted to 100%. This forces the HP BIOS battery learn cycle to reset against the new cell and clears the inaccurate health warning that otherwise persists after every cell swap.
BIOS reporting poor battery health immediately after fitting a new cell
HP's EC firmware stores battery health data in EEPROM — it does not auto-clear when a new cell is installed. The system reads the old degradation flags and immediately flags the replacement as poor. This is a firmware state issue, not a fault with the new cell. Run one full discharge to hibernate-cutoff followed by an uninterrupted charge to 100% to trigger the BIOS learn cycle and write fresh health data.
Laptop cuts out at 20–30% charge shown on the OMEN under gaming load
This happens when the fuel gauge IC has not yet calibrated against the new cell's actual discharge curve. The OS shows 25% remaining, but the cell voltage has already dropped below the minimum threshold under full CPU plus GPU draw — the BMS cuts power to protect the cell. It is not a faulty battery. Run two to three full discharge-to-hibernate and full-charge cycles. After calibration, the fuel gauge tracks actual cell voltage accurately and the cutouts stop.
