I'm looking at two possible replacement batteries for my laptop, both from the same company and both showing capatability for my PC.

 

My existing battery is 10.8V, 55W, 5100mAH

 

1 compatable batt is 10.8V, 48W, 4400mAH

 

The other battery is 10.8V, 71W, 6600mAH

 

 

Is being over or under the watts & mAH of my existing battery goiung to create any problems?

Hi,

 

Voltage is the main concern. 71W in theory will run longer between charge and 48W will run shorter. Given they are compatible, I would go for 71W battery (probably more expensive).

 

Regards.
