Hi,
I have a Dell Inspiron 1300 and I want to buy a replacement battery because mine is on its last legs! It has the following info on it: type=HD438, rating=14.8 V and capacity=29 WH. I've looked around online for the cheapest ones I can find but some have different capacities - will this affect my laptop if I buy one that has say, a capacity of 2200mAh?? Also, will it affect my laptop if i get one that has a lower voltage of around 11?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I have no idea about these things!
Also, anyone know where they sell cheap batteries that are reliable? There are a few sites online but don't know which one to choose..
Thanks

You need the right Voltage, so if your current on is 14.4 then 11 will not do. The mAh are not so critical the more the longer the battery will last. 2200mAh is low.0

Hi, if you have an ebay account then the battery you need is this lot number 280369192953
£29.99 with warranty.
I have used this supplier several times and it's usually very quick on delivery and the price is not bad either.
hope this helpsComputers are like me, I get up in the morning and work...until I stop.0
