Have owned 12-C's for years. This one was a replacement to two, one of which only lasted a year before going on the blink and the other that finally died of old age. This replacement has sticky keys, and I can't get the calculator all the way into the protective cover provided. HP quality seems to have deteriorated.

        Can perform just about any financial function needed in the business/investment/banking world, but you need a coach to teach you how to use it. My first one, which I've just replaced, lasted 10 years.

                      Yes, both of them. Please check the serial number of your calculator first. If it is lower than CN11500001, please use item number 169763; if it is that number or higher, please use item number 273151 as suggested by customer care. HP changed the compatible batteries after a certain point.
