Green Cell CS03XL battery for HP EliteBook 840 G3

Green Cell HP CS03XL battery

See price and availability (10)

An internal battery in the original format for HP EliteBook G3 machines: 3400 mAh, 39 Wh of Li-polymer, and a two-year manufacturer warranty.

Capacity: 3400 mAh (11.4 V, about 39 Wh)
Fits: HP EliteBook 745, 755, 840, 848 and 850 G3, ZBook 15u G3
Cells: Li-polymer
Safety: Overcharge and deep-discharge protection
Original CS03XL reference, two-year warranty

HP EliteBook 840 G3 laptops and their siblings remain solid business machines, but their internal battery eventually stops lasting the morning. This Green Cell CS03XL matches HP's own part reference, also listed as 800513-001, 800231-141, HSTNN-DB6U and HSTNN-IB6Y: 3400 mAh at 11.4 V, about 39 Wh of Li-polymer, with the expected protection circuits. It covers EliteBook 745, 755, 840, 848 and 850 in G3 form, plus the ZBook 15u G3. Unlike the Inspiron range, the battery here is internal: the base has to come off, a simple job that nonetheless calls for a Torx screwdriver.

The EliteBook 840 G3 is exactly the sort of machine people keep for years: solid chassis, excellent keyboard, still enough performance for office work and the web. Its battery, though, has aged, and that is often the only thing standing in the way of keeping it. This Green Cell fixes precisely that for around thirty pounds, against several hundred for a replacement machine. The flat 39 Wh Li-polymer format is the original one, so you get the starting runtime back, four to six hours depending on use. One important practical difference from the Inspiron range: the battery here is internal. You turn the machine over, remove the Torx screws from the base, disconnect the ribbon cable and swap the pack. Nothing complicated, about fifteen minutes, but it is not a tool-free job. What made us pick this reference over an anonymous pack is the two-year manufacturer warranty and the identified cells: on an internal battery that is hard to inspect, a careful protection circuit matters even more. Do watch the generations, though: the CS03XL targets G3 models, not the CM03XL packs of the G1 and G2.

Green Cell M5Y1K battery for Dell Inspiron 15

Green Cell Dell M5Y1K battery

See price and availability (9)

Giving a tired Dell Inspiron 15 another day of runtime without replacing the machine: 2200 mAh, four cells and a two-year warranty.

Capacity: 2200 mAh (14.8 V, about 33 Wh)
Fits: Dell Inspiron 14, 15 and 17 (3000 and 5000 series)
Cells: 4 Li-ion cells
Safety: Overcharge and deep-discharge protection
Original M5Y1K reference, two-year warranty

When the original battery in a Dell Inspiron only lasts an hour, replacing it costs around thirty pounds and saves a laptop that is otherwise perfectly usable. This Green Cell M5Y1K matches Dell's own part reference: 2200 mAh at 14.8 V, about 33 Wh across four Li-ion cells, with electronic protection against overcharge and deep discharge. It targets Inspiron 14, 15 and 17 machines in the 3000 and 5000 series, along with several Vostro and Latitude models. The Polish manufacturer backs it with a two-year warranty, still rare in a market dominated by anonymous sellers.

Replacing a laptop battery is one of the few jobs that genuinely extends a machine's life for a trivial cost, and that is exactly this Green Cell's territory. On a 2015 Inspiron 15 that barely lasted an hour, you get back half a day of office work, enough to push the replacement back by several years. Fitting is done from underneath, the battery being removable on most affected Inspiron models, with no need to open the base. What separates Green Cell from the countless unbranded packs is traceability: identified cells, stated protection circuits, a two-year warranty and a European manufacturer you can actually reach. On a product whose real risk is a cut-price protection board, that is worth the few pounds' difference. Two things to know before ordering. First the capacity: 2200 mAh is the original four-cell format, not a high-capacity pack, so expect no more than the machine had when new. Second the reference: the Inspiron range used several different batteries, so read M5Y1K on the old label before confirming.

VI - Portable electrical

Power tools, such as drills, sanders or screwdrivers, whatever their brand, need a lot of energy, and generally require batteries of high power and capacity. Here are a few of them.

Description

Ryobi Battery RB18L40 18V One+

See price and availability (8)

Compatible with every tool in the Ryobi One+ range, this genuine RB18L40 battery offers a 4Ah capacity at 18V for constant, reliable power.

Capacity: 4 Ah / 72Wh
Voltage: 18V (Lithium+)
Compatibility: Ryobi One+ tool range
Constant power, fast charging, genuine Ryobi

The RB18L40 is a genuine Ryobi battery, compatible with every cordless tool in the One+ range (drills, drivers, saws, grinders and more). Thanks to Lithium+ technology, it provides constant power throughout the discharge, fast charging and an excellent lifespan. With a 4Ah capacity (72Wh) at 18V, it is equally suited to occasional DIY and more intensive use, and its 4-LED gauge shows the remaining charge at a glance.

Einhell Power X-Change 18V 4.0 Ah battery

Einhell PXC 18V 4.0 Ah Battery

See price and availability (41)

The original 4 Ah pack that powers a drill, a lawnmower or a 230 V inverter alike, across a range of more than 300 machines.

Capacity: 4.0 Ah, meaning 72 Wh at 18 V
Technology: Lithium-ion, built-in battery management
Compatibility: The whole Power X-Change range
Display: 3-segment LED charge indicator
One battery for more than 300 machines

Power X-Change is the bet Einhell placed more than ten years ago: a single battery for the entire cordless range, from DIY to garden work. This 4.0 Ah reference is its most common format, the one that best balances runtime against weight. At 18 nominal volts it stores 72 watt-hours, enough to run a screwdriver for a good day, a mower over a small lawn, or a 230 V inverter for around twenty minutes at full load. A three-segment LED indicator shows the remaining level at the press of a button, and the internal electronics watch temperature and cell balancing to protect service life.

In-depth reviewRead our full review → 3.8/5 This battery has established itself as a benchmark in its category, and it is easy to see why. The central argument is not technical but economic: as long as you stay with Einhell, one battery does everything. We have watched it move from a drill to a blower and then to a 230 V inverter in the same day, with no adapter and no improvising. On the 4 Ah format specifically, the balance is good. The 2 Ah packs run down too quickly on demanding tools, the 6 Ah ones noticeably weigh down a screwdriver held at arm's length; the 4 Ah sits in between, with 72 watt-hours for a little over six hundred grams. The three-segment LED indicator is basic, but it has the merit of existing and stops you running flat at the wrong moment. Two honest remarks, however. The stated capacity is measured under favourable conditions: on a tool that draws hard, expect closer to ninety per cent of the theoretical figure, which is normal for the sector. And the charger is never supplied with these batteries sold on their own, a detail that catches out hurried buyers: check you already have one, otherwise a starter kit works out cheaper than buying both separately. Beyond that, it is a reliable, thoroughly proven product, and the best ticket into an ecosystem that has grown a great deal.

VII - Power tool battery inverters

An 18 V tool battery is not just for the drill: plug it into an inverter from the same brand and it becomes a small 230 V source, handy for running a device at the bottom of the garden, on a site with no socket or during a power cut. Here are the models that make use of the batteries you already own.

Ryobi RY18BI150A battery-powered inverter

Ryobi 18V One+ 150W Power Inverter

See price and availability (13)

A 230 V socket and two USB ports running off any 18V One+ battery: enough to turn a collection of tool batteries into a portable power source.

Output: 150 W continuous, 300 W peak
Sockets: 1 x 230 V outlet + 2 x USB-A 2.4 A
Power source: 18V One+ battery (not included)
Format: 0.76 kg without battery, built-in LED lamp
Mains power anywhere from a tool battery

The RY18BI150A starts from a simple idea: you already own 18V One+ batteries that sit idle between jobs, so you may as well make them produce mains voltage. This small inverter clips onto any battery in the range and delivers 150 watts continuous (300 watts peak) through a standard mains socket, plus 2.4 amps shared across two USB-A ports. A built-in LED lamp completes the package. It weighs 760 grams without a battery, fits in a tool bag and needs no wiring at all: it is the cheapest way to get a working socket miles from anywhere, provided you accept a runtime measured in tens of minutes rather than hours.

The RY18BI150A has to be judged for what it is: not a power station, but an accessory that gets more value out of batteries you have already bought. If you own Ryobi tools, the maths is quick. Around sixty pounds buys a self-contained 230 V socket, against a hundred and thirty to a hundred and seventy for the most modest power station, and you gain two USB ports and a lamp along the way. What strikes you in use is the flexibility rather than the endurance. Runtime is short, there is no hiding it, but it changes in nature the moment you carry two or three batteries: swapping one takes three seconds and involves no waiting, where a flat power station means hours on charge. Anyone already equipped with One+ tools usually owns that reserve without thinking about it, and is only buying the housing here. The other pleasant surprise is the size. Bare, it weighs less than a large bottle of water and slips into the tool box: you grab it at the last moment, which is not how you treat a five kilo station you have to decide to bring along. It is exactly the sort of object that ends up living permanently in the vehicle. Two reservations deserve to be known before buying. First, Ryobi does not state the waveform it produces, and nothing suggests a pure sine wave. We therefore avoid sensitive electronics, medical devices and older switching chargers in particular. Second, the housing gets noticeably hot as soon as you approach 150 watts continuous, a point raised in several independent tests, so it is better left in open air than shut inside a case. With those limits understood, it is an excellent secondary purchase, and arguably the most useful single item in the One+ range for anyone who camps or works away from a socket.

Einhell built its entire cordless range around a single battery type, the Power X-Change, and the TC-ES 18/150/1 draws the logical conclusion: it turns any of those batteries into a source of household power. The 230 V socket takes 150 watts, enough to run a laptop, a lamp or a small charger. More importantly, a 60 watt USB-C Power Delivery port, rare on this kind of device, charges a recent laptop directly without going through the mains socket, avoiding a double conversion and gaining runtime. The housing also gets a 10 watt USB-A port, a dimmable LED lamp, a hanging hook and covers over the sockets.

On paper this TC-ES looks like its Ryobi rival: the same 150 watts on the 230 volt socket, the same principle of clipping onto a tool battery. It is the USB ports that open up a gap. Where most of these units make do with two dated USB-A sockets, Einhell fits a 60 watt USB-C Power Delivery port, exactly what a modern laptop expects. The difference is not cosmetic: going through USB-C avoids converting power to 230 volts only to convert it back inside the laptop's power brick, and that double conversion easily costs a quarter of the energy. In practice, with the same 4 Ah battery, you gain twenty to thirty minutes of laptop runtime. The rest is carefully done: covers over the sockets against dust, non-slip surfaces, a built-in hanging hook and a dimmable LED lamp, far more useful than a simple on-off light. Two things to know before buying. This TC-ES version does not charge Power X-Change batteries, it only consumes them; Einhell reserves the charging function for the pricier TE-ES variant. And like any inverter this size, it heats up under sustained load and dislikes confined spaces. At around eighty pounds it costs some twenty more than the Ryobi equivalent, which the USB-C port amply justifies in our view, provided of course that you already own Power X-Change kit.

The only one in the range with a 12 V output, a car adapter lead in the box, and the ability to recharge the very battery it runs on, over USB-C.

Output: 150 W at 230 V, 120 W at 12 V
USB: USB-C Power Delivery + USB-A
Recharging: Battery recharged through the USB-C PD input
Power source: 18V Power X-Change battery (not included)
12 V output and recharges its own battery

The TE-ES 18/150/1 is the senior version of Einhell's Power X-Change battery inverter, and the gap with the TC-ES is not about power: both deliver 150 watts through the 230 volt socket. This model adds three things that change how you use it. A 12 volt, 120 watt socket, supplied with its car adapter lead, to run a cool box or a tyre compressor without going through mains voltage. A USB-C Power Delivery port that works both ways: it powers a laptop, but also acts as an input to recharge the battery fitted in the unit. And a continuously dimmable light, usable as a table lamp or a torch.

Einhell sells two 18 volt inverters that look very similar on the spec sheet and must not be confused. The TC-ES, some forty pounds cheaper, simply drains the battery to produce 230 volts. This TE-ES does the same, but adds what was genuinely missing. The 12 volt socket first, with its supplied car adapter lead: it takes 120 watts, enough to run an electric cool box, an inflator or a camping pump without a detour through 230 volts that wastes energy. That is smarter than it sounds, because powering a 12 volt appliance from an 18 volt battery by way of the mains socket loses close to a third of the charge. The charging function next: the USB-C Power Delivery port accepts current in both directions. Plugged into a laptop's USB-C charger or into a power station, it recharges the Power X-Change battery fitted in the unit. Out camping, that means a USB-C solar panel is enough to top up your tool batteries, with no need to carry the Einhell mains charger. The light, finally, dims continuously rather than in two steps, which lets you set it as a night light inside a tent. The rest is as expected: dust covers, a hanging hook, a precise charge indicator. Two reservations. The price, first, approaching a hundred and twenty pounds, above some genuine entry-level power stations that include their own battery. And the logic of the system: with neither battery nor charger in the box, the real bill climbs quickly if you are starting from scratch. For anyone who already owns three or four Power X-Change batteries, though, this is the most complete accessory in the range.
