Laptop Replacement Batteries

[ioneabee]

on fleabay have found the appropriate battery - however. it gives 5200mAh, whereas the actual (original) battery is 4000

 

is this ok - or do i need to find a different one - it does quote as fitting the actual laptop

[tony.r123]

It should be ok, a higher rating means it should have a longer usage time

[spursmaddave]

Yeah no problem, just means it will hold the charge longer

Was going to add ioneabee that you need to be careful with these things as there are quite a few fake batteries & illegally made batteries etc from companies that are really quite dangerous if used in equipment or charging equipment.

Hopefully you've bought a genuine battery though.

Should be ok then. Just double check all the markings and things look legit in comparison to the old battery.

 

I never leave batteries charging unattended which can be a pain but at least if they burst in to flames or explode I won't miss any of the action.

I've had replacement batteries for two lap tops off e-bay now and all good so far. As already stated best to buy from a UK seller
