need higher capacity batteries to replace HP V104

[dwhowell101]

HP V104 battery charge lasts, at best, 2 hours before needing to be charged. Can the individual cells be replaced with higher capacity cells? The current cells are (4) 3.7V 2200mAH.

Hi, you can replace the old cells with cells of greater capacity, but the chip on the board that controls the cells will not recognize the capacity or the wear of the new cells. So, you need a new battery with a higher capacity.
