I bought my HP Prime G2 in November 2020, but it has not had all that much use. The last few times I dug it out to use, the battery was dead. I discovered that the battery would not hold a charge for more than a day or two. I went to HP first, but apparently they do not offer a replacement battery currently. I find that a bit odd, especially given the popularity of the calculator.
Anyway...
Hours later in my search, I stumbled across a post in some obscure discussion group that suggested that a Samsung G3 cell phone battery might work. I found the battery on Amazon for about $12, and decided that was cheap enough to try it as an experiment.
It turns out that the Samsung EB-L1G6LLU Lithium Ion battery is a drop-in replacement. The only difference is specs is that the Samsung battery has a capacity rated at 2100 mAh as opposed to the original battery at 2000 mAh. Everything else is the same including the fit, which is perfect.
I have no idea as to whether or not this battery would work in earler HP Prime models.
